Fine Red Wine

Made from Portugal’s top red grape varietal, Touriga Nacional, and aged for six months in oak barrels for an exquisite richness in aroma, body and texture.

Made from low-yielding Grenache vines averaging over 70 years of age for a delicious example of how good modern Spanish winemaking gets.

A lively, cherry and red berry-scented pinot, with a soft, rounded palate full of black cherry and blackcurrant flavours.

Warm, luscious cherry and plum fruit with woodsmoke, exotic spice, and fine, polished oak. A serious Gran Reserva still with years ahead of it.

Expressive, 100% Tempranillo with aromas of red berries, clove, spice, and vanilla.

A sumptuous blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from one of Chianti's most ancient estates, representing over 5 centuries of Siennese winemaking. Loves grilled red meats, game, mature cheeses.

A delicious red Rhône and a long a favourite of the Guide Hachette des Vins, Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker and ours. Grenache, syrah and just a touch of mourvedre.

Made in only the best vintages and blended for us by Jonathan Maltus, the first Englishman to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker. Rich, ripe merlot, beautifully integrated oak.

Deeply coloured, with classic cab franc herbaceous notes lifting bright, black-berry fruit. Perfumed with a note of fresh mint and a hint of sweet, spicy oak.

Expressive, fresh cassis fruit in abundance - quite an exuberant, aromatic style with a subtle note of cedar - classically cabernet sauvignon.

Strikingly fresh and pure for a Malbec, with warm, sweetish bramble fruit, savoury spice and soft ripe tannins. Really characterful and well-balanced.

A silky merlot blend from the Côtes de Castillon to deliciously demonstrate just how good - and ageworthy - the wines of Bordeaux's more affordable regions have become.

Ripe, red-berried fruit on a dense silky palate. Savoury notes reminiscent of cigar box add a touch of refinement. Drinking well now and will continue to evolve.

A brilliant red for outdoor drinking. There is invigorating, zippy freshness to complement gorgeous concentration and grip. Perfect on its own but will equally stand up to hearty grilled meats. ...

From 3rd-growth Château Giscours (Margaux) and sumptuous, abundant, well-balanced proof that you need not always pay £20+ for a bottle of Left Bank pedigree and finesse.

A bold, flavourful blend, with real presence and class. Principally syrah and malbec, with a little cabernet and petit Verdot. Dark, vibrant and bursting with bramble fruit.

Made from 40 year old vines and aged in French oak barrels. Priorat with just Rioja has the highest designation for a wine appellation in Spain.

Domaine les Grands Bois was recommended to us as the best local grower by the owner of the best bistro in Cairanne, itself the best of the 21 Cotes-du-Rhone villages.

In a sheltered valley at the foot of Monte Amiato, the highest mountain in Tuscany, the wines benefit from the very rich mineral soil of this extinct volcano.  

"...the Château Meaume 'Reserve du Château' 2015, is similarly quaffable with perhaps a touch more finesse and elegance."

Gracefully matured; powerful, well-balanced, with intense red and black berries, roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and vanilla notes.
