Felline, Pietraluna Negroamaro del Salento, Italy
From the same stable as Anarkos, but made from 100% Negroamaro grapes. This is, without doubt, the best vintage of this wine to date.
It’s rich and full of spicey, chocolatey flavours. Maybe a hint of ginger. Going to be on our table this Easter, for sure.

Felline, Anarkos Rosso di Puglia, Italy
Anarkos Rosso di Puglia
The label is attention-seeking, as is the bright red plastic cork (not my favourite closure, I must admit, but the wine insisted I buy it! The wine has attitude and is a provocative one, railing against the plight of the region (see their website). The region reminds me of the Languedoc in France – loads of rubbish wines but increasing numbers of fanatics making really top wines as they should be made. This was one of my favourite winery visits af the last few years. The wine is made from a blend of the local varieties Primitivo, Negro Amaro and Malvasia Nera and should be consumed in conspiratorial bars in the south of Italy with huge helpings of pasta.
Previous vintages recommended; Recommended in The Daily Telegraph: “another one of Mark Hughes’ brilliant finds. Absolutely delicious blend of Primitivo, Negro Amaro and Malvasia. Lush and plush like velvet, also juicy, scented, intense, rich brimming with the smell of violets, deep purple plums and bitter cherries. Such a joy!
Recommended by Oz Clarke as one of his 250 best wines of 2012: “an excellent example of how southern Italian reds are starting to express their own fabulous originality. It’s bulging with youth and it’s soft, yet tempered by a nice edgy bitterness.”Other Single Varietal RedRich & Fruity RedsItaly2019750 ml13-13.5%£14.50

Cazas Novas, Pure Avesso, Vinho Verde, Portugal
We are excited to introduce a trio of super wines all from Cazas Novas in the north of Portugal, all made by Wimemaker of the Year, Diogo Lopes, and all made from the Avesso grape variety which is rapidly gaining kudos in Portugal. Wines made from the hand-picked grapes are aged sur lies for 4 months with “batonnage”.
One step up from the “Colheita”; selected parcels of grapes, lower production result in a lovely creaminess as well as its fresh crisp palate and good structure and minerality as well as extra bottle age. If you like Verus wines you’ll like this, for sure.Other Single Varietal RedDry & Soft WhitesFlinty and ComplexPortugal2020750 ml11%-12.5%£16.00

Sanguinhal, Touriga National, Portugal
Single Estate red from 100% Touriga Nacional grapes. I did taste the various blends at this quality level, but my personal taste was for this pure indigenous varietal which reeks of Portugal. Lovely deep, rich colour. An almost perfumed nose and a soft, smooth palate. Jolly nice!
