Barbera (100%) 14.5% ABV

RIECINE, CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG, TUSCANY, 2022

Sangiovese (100%) 14% ABV

Riecine has always followed a pioneering path, defining a new style and approach in this classic region, with vineyards worked organically and with the utmost respect for nature. Sourced from a selection of vineyards in the Gaiole region of Chianti, this has an exciting nose and bright acidity, succulent, red fruit with fine, powerful tannins. A Sangiovese in the guise of Pinot Noir with delicacy and elegance, and a delight for it. £29.80

BODEGAS EMILIO MORO, EL ZARZAL, DO BIERZO, CASTILLA Y LEÓN, 2022

Godello (100%) 12.5% ABV

100% Godello from Emilio Moro’s Bierzo estate has all the hallmarks of the house, with notes of ripe white fruit and dry flowers, harnessing varietal typicity and harmonious balance, with 8 months in French oak foudre (50% of which is new), adding a more assertive oak influence, yet not without balance and pure fruit intensity. £23.50

BODEGAS MANZANOS, FINCA MANZANOS, BLANCO, VIÑAS VIEJAS, RIOJA, 2023

Viura (80%), Tempranillo Blanco (20%) 12.5% ABV

The wines from Finca Manzanos just keep on getting better, and this deliciously balanced white is no exception. 80% Viura, with 20% Tempranillo Blanco and 4 months in a combination of French and American oak result in an appealing wine with great typicity. The fruit, oak balance hits that sweet spot, packed with ripe citrus fruit, notes of tropical creaminess and purity on the finish. A great white which will appeal to a wide audience. £16.00

BODEGAS MANZANOS, 1890 FINCA MANZANOS, GRAN RESERVA, RIOJA, 2013

Tempranillo (85%), Mazuelo (15%) 13.5% ABV

A challenging vintage in Rioja, but this is where great care in the vineyards, and winemaking expertise really proves its worth. This Gran Reserva from Manzanos comes from prime sites in Oriental, with a combination of French and American oak providing the perfect balance of fine knit tannins, and supple vanilla notes. An elegant wine with dried fruit notes, brambles, spice, mocha and complex layers of interest. £25.00

BODEGAS LUIS CAÑAS, RESERVA SELECCIÓN DE LA FAMILIA, RIOJA, 2019

Tempranillo (85%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) 14.5% ABV

Complex aromas which combine to give an intense, sophisticated wine. Ripe berry fruits, smoke, raisins and liquor. After opening up in the glass there’s cinnamon, dark spice, bramble fruits and great complexity. Full and rounded on the palate, with lovely tannins, generous fruit, and resulting in a seductive, textural finish. Just delicious, and a quality we’ve come to expect from this impressive Alavesa bodega. £30.60

BODEGAS EMILIO MORO, DO RIBERA DEL DUERO, CASTILLA Y LEÓN, 2021

Tempranillo (100%) 14.5% ABV

A wine that ‘evokes the land where it came’, eschewing traditional notions of classification like crianza and reserva, the family was eager to create wines with personality and individuality. Expressions true to their vineyards and their family’s heritage and for our money, they have achieved this with aplomb. Smoky oak, roast black cherries, fine-grained tannins and richness to the finish. Supremely competent, with real class. £28.80

BODEGAS EMILIO MORO, MALLEOLUS, DO RIBERA DEL DUERO, CASTILLA Y LEÓN, 2021

Tempranillo (100%) 14.5% ABV

An intense wine that exceeds any expectations. A result of low-yielding bush vines, the name comes from the Latin meaning majuelo (hawthorn), which is the way the locals refer to the vineyards in Pesquera de Duero; grapes were selected from old majuelos, resulting in a dense wine with ripe aroma, and true provenance. The balance between ripeness and freshness is impressive, and the ageing in 500-litre barrels brings with it beautiful complexity and harmony. A wine that deserves robust and flavoursome dishes, and can more than handle the richness that comes from festive feasting. £44.00

IONA, ELGIN HIGHLANDS SAUVIGNON BLANC, ELGIN, SOUTH AFRICA 2024

Sauvignon Blanc (96%), Sémillon (4%) 13% ABV

The Elgin Highlands are unique, sitting on an elevated plateau at an average of 450m above sea level, and home to the coolest vineyards in South Africa. This extreme cool climate makes the flavours in their grapes pop, and none more so than with Sauvignon Blanc. Sublime expression, purity and yet all somehow understated and as near to perfect as you can get with Sauvignon Blanc. £17.20

IONA, ELGIN HIGHLANDS CHARDONNAY, ELGIN, SOUTH AFRICA 2022

Chardonnay (100%) 13.5% ABV

As with Iona’s Sauvignon Blanc, their lofty and cool location makes white wines with purity and wonderful precision, all held together with restraint and an ethereal integrity which makes them almost other-worldly. It’s all to do with long, slow physiological ripening, well-judged oak reminiscent of Burgundy with bright citrus, white stone fruit, oyster shell minerality and a hint of brioche. Sublime! £26.70

VIÑA COBOS, FELINO, MALBEC, MENDOZA, ARGENTINA 2023

Malbec (100%) 14.5% ABV

Felino remains our go to Argentinian range, with quality and interest beyond their price point. The first time Paul Hobbs crossed the Andes with his friend Jorge Catena, he fell in love with the place, the people and the potential for making great wine. Nearly 30 years later, Cobos have vineyards in some of the Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco’s finest sites. This wine is a reflection of these, created with the utmost respect for terroir, grape and what this unique region means in the context of high quality Argentinan wine. £17.20

VIÑA COBOS, BRAMARE, MALBEC, LUJÁN DE CUYO, MENDOZA, ARGENTINA 2021

Malbec (100%) 14.5% ABV

This is drinking perfectly now. A tight and beautiful wine with sliced berries, chocolate, hazelnut, and bitter chocolate. Medium body. Medium chewy fruit and a chocolate, walnut and stone finish. James Suckling, 94 points. £39.60

TENUTA OLIM BAUDA, CENTIVE, MOSCATO D’ASTI DOCG, PIEDMONT, ITALY 2023
