Fine Red Wine

Deep in colour, with bright, leafy forest bramble fruit and appealing juicy texture. The warmth of the 22 vintage shines through here.

A gorgeous blend of Garnacha, Tempranillo, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for a minimum of 6 months in American oak, offering aromas of vanilla and toasted wood.

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

Fine everyday drinking red, named after the Besnardeau three daughters from one of Robert parker’s favourite vineyards.

Seven generations of authentic Beaujolais making are expressed in Domaine de Cornillac's vibrancy, freshness and earthy intensity. Gamay as it should taste.

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.

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.

Full of rich, vibrant fruit, and is of such quality that one might easily mistake the cuvée for a good Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

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. ...
