Deeply coloured, rich and surprisingly elegant, this superb Douro red exhibits perfectly ripe charming flavours. From the much lesser known Sousao grape (100%), the lovely nose exudes ripe berry scents with floral and mineral hints. Perfectly balanced with just a kiss of oak, the mouthfeel is very seductive: round, velvety with good volume. Very good aging potential (5 to 8 years). Serve this very enjoyable red with a simply grilled venaison fillet. Enjoy!
Looking for something different? Try this superb Sicilian white from the Carricante grape. This flavourful white is quite fresh and intensely fruity. Seductive nose displaying ripe pear and apple enhanced by floral and mineral hints. Well balanced and quite tasty, it will match perfectly with a shrimp pizza. Move quickly, its selling rapidly! Enjoy!
This excellent organic red from Southern Rhône is a classic blend of Grenache (55%), Syrah (20%), Carignan (10%) and Mourvèdre (10%). The charming nose exudes jammy field berry scents and sweet spices. Displaying remarkably pure fruit, great balance and good aging potential (4 to 7 years). Regardless of its 15% alcohol, this well crafted Vacqueyras remains easy drinking and seductive. Serve this lovely red with your favorite grilled veal or pork dishes. Enjoy!
This high quality consistant Château was recently acquired by Tresury Wine Estates (Penfold’s). From the outstanding 2020 vintage, this lovely Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel (only 14 Chateaux) delivers the goods. In a style that is elegant and ripe, the nose displays just enough oak, with dark berries, graphite and vegetal undertones. Very good extract and length. This charming red offers velvety tannins, richness and character with good aging potential (5 to 8 years). This great value red should match perfectly with grilled lamb cutlets. A classic match! Enjoy!
