Chile

Indomita

“Costa Vera”

Sauvignon Blanc. £8.70. This lively little Sauvignon is bursting with vibrant zesty citrus fruit and a hint of exotic guava. Hugely refreshing, this crisp and aromatic wine is endlessly quaffable. Year after year the quality is consistent and it never disappoints. An award-winning wine and it’s easy to see why.

Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserve. “Nostros”. £9.70. From Chile's renowned Maipo region, where long hot days are followed by cool nights. Lusciously rich and full body Cabernet Sauvignon bursting with ripe blueberries, sweet vanilla and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, the wine is elegant with soft and well-balanced tannins.

Carménère Reserva. “Nostros” £9.70. Intense, almost black, red colour. Aromas of red and black wild berries, truffle, paprika, pepper and clove. The round and silky body so characteristic of ripe Carménère offers a pleasant, persistent and full experience.

Cabernet Sauvignon/Carmeneré. "Duette" £10.95. Sourced from vines grown in the Alta Maipo region, close to Santiago, Duette is a blend of the classic Cabernet Sauvignon and the increasingly well-known Carmenere grape. The combination produces a well-structured wine with delicious succulent black fruits, touches of eucalypt and menthol and a long savoury finish.

Espinos y Cardos

Carignan Reserve - Old Vine. £9.95

Merlot. £8.70. This easy-drinking wine comes from Chile's renowned Valle Central Region, where long hot days are followed by cool nights. This temperature difference ensures the grapes ripen slowly, so they develop maximum flavour. This is simply outstanding wine for the money, soft super-juicy ripe plummy fruit and a long full-flavoured finish.

“Santa Macarena”

Pinot Noir. £9.90. This single vineyard Pinot Noir is bright, aromatic and fresh with subtle oak playing a supporting role. The emphasis on the delicious red fruit flavours, drinkability and enjoyment. A seriously cool Pinot.

Odfjell

Syrah. “Armador” £11.40. The spice of Syrah shines through in this lush, fruit packed wine. Not lacking subtlety but it is a real crowd pleaser.

Carmenere. “Armador” £11.40. Alluring purplish-red in colour with aromas of dark fruits and liquorice as well as hints of spice notes such as black pepper and cloves. The palate is long and refreshing with ripe fruit flavours and soft tannins.

Sauvignon Blanc. “Armador” £11.90. Intense fresh and mineral nose, with green and citrus notes. The palate is fresh with intense and persistent acidity. The cool climate of San Antonio ensures a crisp and fresh style of Sauvignon Blanc with pronounced aromatics.

Carmenere "Orzada" £18.70. Dark red in colour. Intense and complex on the nose, with spices and ripe red fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and plums mixed with aromas of blackberries and anise. The palate is juicy and powerful with velvety-soft tannins and a long finish. Works well with steak or pan-roast lamb especially with a hint of spice.

Carignan "Orzada" £18.70. Deep and intense ruby colour with a touch of violet. This wine displays a never-ending mix of aromas such as cherry liqueur, liquorice, white fruit such as apricots, white peaches, pears and a touch of lychee. A note of jasmine to wrap up. A refreshing experience. This rich Carignan would go especially well with grilled meat or lamb.
