750mL
Château Rousselle Côtes de Bourg 2018
75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc.
A ripe, fleshy style delivers toasty spice and tobacco notes up front, followed by dark cocoa, crushed plum and blackberry fruit flavours. Creamy and concentrated on the palate with alluring dark fruit and a long, velvety finish. A graphite edge cuts underneath, adding length and definition.
Sacchetto Prosecco Brut
Scala Ciro Rosato 2021
One of the most interesting pink wines we’ve come across. 100% Gaglioppo from 30 year old vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district), with a south/south-east exposure – sand and clay soil. Juicy, spicy and ripe, it offers a delightful nose of red cherry, raspberry and aromatic herbs. Finishes long and mineral with a mouth-watering a sweet and sour tang.
An outstanding Rosato showcasing just how suited Gaglioppo is to making pink wines.
Vecchia Chianti 2019
Beautiful ruby red colour with a slight violet hue. The nose is alive with pronounced notes of red berries while the medium-bodied palate is fruity, harmonious and persistent. Finishes long and with great weight. This food-friendly Chianti is a perfect match for savoury appetizers, cured meats and barbecue.
Casa Santos Lima Valcatrina 2018
Lavau Envyfols Pays D’oc Chardonnay 2022
Reverdito Barbera D’alba ‘Butti’ 2019
Mistral 2017 Chardonnay
The award-winning winemaker, Matt Praetzel, sourced the grapes from some of the best vineyards of Lodi, California (Wine Enthusiast’s “Wine Region of the Year” for 2015).
Warm days and cool nights bless this region with highly viable fruits. Expertly crafted and aged for 6 months in French Oak barrels, The Mistral is full-bodied, deliciously dry and features exquisite richness with pronounced, ripe tropical fruit notes. It has a smooth, creamy body and ends with a long, citrus finish.
Pairs excellently with fish, mussels and clams, and soft cheese.
Les Deesses Muettes Merlot 2021
Antonio Scala Ciro Blanco 2021
100% Greco, from a 2 hectare vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district). Spicy, fresh aromas of peach, quince and honeysuckle hold much allure. The palate is white spice, salty, fresh and focused. This is an irresistible example of the native Greco grape.
"I think greco bianco (unrelated to Campania’s greco di Tufo) is potentially one of Italy’s best native grape varieties." - Ian d’Agata
Venturini Baldini Rose Lambrusco
Langa Cellars 2018 Contado Cabernet Sauvignon
Li Veli Torremossa Fiano 2020/21
Rust en Vrede Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Expressive black fruit jumps out of the glass. Juicy black cherry and cassis combine with blueberries, licorice and sandalwood. Full bodied and intense on the palate. Fine grained, grippy tannins balance well with a fresh, black-fruit acidity. Tobacco, nutmeg and savory spice bring complex layers to mulberry and bramble fruit that round out the palate. A typically well-structured Cabernet with excellent length.
91pts Wine Spectator: ‘A fresh, harmonious Cabernet, offering ripe boysenberry and cassis fruit flavors counterpointed by savory notes of bay leaf, graphite, smoke and woodsy spices, with refined tannins. Drink now through 2028.’
