  • Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon South Africa

    I don’t always stock this particular varietal, but this vintage won me over – great varietal character of blackcurrants, rich, firm and fruity.

  • Rioja “Sin Crianza” Martinez Alesanco

    100% Tempranillo fruit bursting with character but not oak-aged. Just enjoy it. As Pedro (the producer) puts it; “lively, refreshing, bold, and unabashed”.

  • Excelsior Merlot South Africa

    Like its white cousin, this is a great party wine and goes well with most foods or just on its own. Rich, juicy Merlot from a favourite Estate of ours. Much recommended by Real Wine Co customers.  45% of the blend was aged in french and american oak barrels for six months. The wine is exceptionally concentrated and fruity.

  • Château Lamothe-Vincent Bordeaux Reserve Merlot

    Gold Medals at  Brussels and Gilbert & Gaillard.

    The classic Bordeaux blend, of course, is Cabernet/Merlot, and here we have a classic indeed. Merlot dominated, soft but very well-structured, ripe fruit.

    100% unoaked Tempranillo from the prized Alavesa part of Rioja. Juicy fruity style with great depth of character – that spicey Tempranillo really shines.

  • Villa des Anges Reserve Red -One of our 12 Wines of Christmas

    One of those wines which make you stop in your wine-tasting tracks. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot (roughly a third of each) has been aged for 14 months in tanks with oak staves (!) before bottling. It’s enough to make you wonder whether or not you want to buy expensive claret again!

    Jeff says; “La bouche est élancée, tendue par une fine acidité inflexible, mais enrobée par une matière ronde, veloutée, charmeuse. L’aromatique mêle la crème de mûre aux épices grillées et la vanille.” and who am I to argue?

  • NEW – Kinisia Merlot/Nero d’Avola di Sicilia -One of our 12 Wines of Christmas

    This is a really successful blend of Nero d’Avola and Merlot bringing out the best of both varietals in a wine that is better than the sum of its two parts. The lovely rich but slighly light NdA bulked up by rich and soft Merlot.  This differs from the Passole in that it is predominantly Merlot backed up by NdA rather than the other way round. Then it spends eight months in oak barrels giving it a lovely, spicey and elegant texture. I’m getting blackcurrants and lots of chocolate!

    Gold medal-winning traditional local varietal, old vines – Carignan from the south of France. Soft tannins, nice ‘n spicy. Long skin contact for deep colour, and over six months oak aging for complexity….rather a nice wine, really

  • Les Darons by Jeff Carrel

    Les Darons by Jeff Carrel

    Big, soft red, yet good acidity makes this a great food wine as well as one to drink on its own. A great example of southern french red wine, bursting with peppery tannins and earthy fruit.

  • Casabel Lisboa Portuguese Red

    Lovely soft red with vibrant cherry-like fruit. A great example of  just how much fun Portuguese wines can be.

    This is a soft, yet well-structured, unoaked red from the Lisbon Region. If the Cerejeiras is defined by easy fruit, this has a bit more oomph, so will take richer food. It has lovely clean fruit character.

  • Château Lamothe-Vincent Bordeaux “Intense” Merlot

    Gold Medals at Brussels, Lyon and Gilbert & Gaillard.

    The classic Bordeaux blend, of course, is Cabernet/Merlot, and here we have a classic indeed. However, it’s Merlot dominated but with a rare 30% Cabernet Franc. Rich and very well-structured fruit.
