Taking it’s name from the ambitious character in Balzac’s Pere Goriot, this is a sweetish, fortified wine from Charente-Maritime.  Very rich aromas made up of fresh fruit (peach, plum and fig) and dried fruit (almond, prune).  On the palate, fresh fruit dominates, with citrus flavours helping to balance the sweetness.  The finish has a hint of honey and vanilla.  A gorgeous aperitif, but can go well with duck too.

Pineau des Charentes is such a wonderful and underrated tipple, made from Ugni blanc grape must, blended with 2 year old Cognac, you should be drinking more of this!

Meandro Finest Reserve Port

£23.00
Read more

 

A fantastic example of single estate port wine. Traditionally made using foot-treading in granit lagars before fortification. They vinify by parcel and grape variety, before ageing for a short period in large, old oak. The final wine is an expert blend from across different parcels and vintages, bringing together grape varieties and soil-types to fully represent the character of the whole estate.

Its dark, concentrated fruit character comes from perfectly ripe grapes grown in the warmer Douro Superior. There’s some greener, stalky, herbaceous notes, plus lovely spice and warmth from oak. The sweetness is balanced by fresh acidity so there’s nothing too sticky, and the gentle foot treading leads to soft, fine tannin, and a velvety texture.

Carcavelos Villa Oeiras 7 Year Old 375ml

£26.50
Add to basket

Villa Oeiras is a wonderful new producer making old wines. The old estate of the Marquis de Pombal is now under the ownership of the local authority, and they are investing in their heritage to revitalise the vineyard areas and the almost-forgotten style of wine that is Carcavelos.

A great alternative to white port!  Lots of fruit – sweet orange and dried stone fruits with a hazelnut and almond nuttiness provided by 7 years of ageing.  This is definitely a sweet desert wine but is well balanced with caramel and biscuit notes.

Quinta do Vale Meao 10 Year old Tawny Port

£43.00
Add to basket

Quinta do Vale Meão have been making fantastic port for many years. They don’t bottle everything they make straight away, and leave a proportion to age in their cellars. After many years of this investment, they now have sufficient reserves to draw from and create this wonderful 10 year old tawny port.

What sets this tawny apart is that it has been aged at the quinta, in the Douro Superior. This means it shows a very different developmental character to other tawny ports, most of which are aged in Vila Nova de Gaia, far cooler by the coast!
