The Tinto is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet that changes slightly each year, the last few vintages of which have been fantastic. It results in a full bodied wine, with plenty of cassis, no matter how much Cabernet Sauvignon is used, which delves into dark fruit with a crunchy minerality and some spice from toasted oak. This is a great accompaniament to any Mediterranean dishes, especially lamb.

It features the classic hallmarks of Cabernet Sauvignon; blackberries, blackcurrant on the nose and palate with aromas of blackcurrant intermingling with wood notes and cedar on the nose. Supremely drinkable at a refreshingly restrained 13% alcohol. We are big fans of this wine, a superb example of finesse and quality over the usual syruppy fruit bombs New World wines often produce. If you are a fan of mid-range Bordeaux, this is well worth a whirl. Delicious!
Pair with cured meats, mezze or paprika based dishes.

This multi award winning wine is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Malbec. This is a big, bold spicy beast of a wine that has more than a whiff of top end Bordeaux and Hermitage about it. Ripe black fruit , liquorice and leather on the nose and palate; the fruit dominates but well balanced acidity and tannin are very much in the mix. A peppery spicy finish is particularly satisfying.
Best enjoyed with steak.

Riglos is a town in La Pampa Province that friends Dario Werthein and Fabian Suffern have honored in naming their winery. It was a place where their ancestors had settled when they arrived in Argentina. In the Uco Valley, they found great parcels of grapes in a very barren landscape from which they made their first wines.
Surely one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons in Argentina. Excellent structure to the wine which carry layers of fruit and spices that grow beside the vineyard, they are highlighted by minerality and polished tannins.

Chateau Fleur de Lisse Saint Emilion Grand Cru
£32.95
Château de Lisse was one of the largest vineyards in Saint Étienne de Lisse in the early twentieth century. It is one of the oldest vineyards in Saint Émilion, which explains why the average age of the vines is 45 years. From 1940 to 2015 it belonged to the Minvielle family, who over the years made it prosper and modernised the winemaking business by building a vatting cellar. In 2015, the château was acquired by the Teycheney family, who already owned Château La Loubière and, being passionately interested in farming and wine, decided to farm using biodynamic methods.
Its bouquet is perfectly pure and expressive, displaying notes of red berries, cassis and blackberry, and is followed by an ample, smooth and remarkably balanced palate. The finish is refined, the back-of palate discretely toasty and smoky. It is the ideal accompaniment for grilled meat, lamb chops or blue cheese over an informal meal.

Chateau Angludet Margaux
£85.00
Home to the Sichel family since 1961, Château Angludet is one of the oldest properties in the Médoc, with a history which goes back to the twelfth century. It is named after Bertrand d’Angludet, a knight and lord of the noble residence which stood on this site in 1150.
Since 1758, the vineyard of Château Angludet has retained a configuration down the centuries which is very close to the original, 93 percent of the current surface area having nurtured vines for more than 250 years – exceptional continuity for a vineyard.
Surrounded as it is by Grand Cru Classé properties, Château Angludet would almost certainly have been included in the famous 1855 Classification, had the property not been broken up as part of an inheritance settlement. In an act of faith (given the property’s state of decay) and belief in Angludet’s potential, the Sichel family bought the estate in 1961. Since then, the Sichels have worked tirelessly to restore and, indeed, improve the vineyard and cellars, giving Angludet back the reputation its exceptional terroir deserves.
Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 2017
£195.00
From this iconic Californian vineyard comes possibly its most sought after wine, and from a truly exceptional vintage that will likely rank as one of the all-time greats from this producer. A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc rounding out the last 4%, the majority of which has been aged in new American oak. Full-bodied and showing immense power, with incredible concentration that will certainly benefit from extended cellaring, some critics suggesting up to 60 years, though it will still bring pleasure to the drinker even now. In its youth, it shows notes of fresh plum, crème de cassis, black truffle, graphite, chocolate, and chalky minerality, with its firm yet ripe tannins and freshness indicating its ageing ability.
