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.

Chateau d’Or et de Gueules “AB” (A Boire) Red Organic
New vintage just in. Diane and Mathieu’s range of estate wines is now wholly organic. Fresh and fruity with good structure. Do I detect a whiff of strawberries?

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.

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.

Dolcetto delle Langhe La Fusina
Another top find from a hunting mission at Vinitaly; having found my favourite Barolo, I then tasted all their other wines and no surprise they we all lovely! Another single vineyard beauty from the Abbona family. I have long enjoyed the Dolcetto grape variety for its cherry-like flavours and freshness, quite a contrast to Barolo. No lengthy aging, no oak aging just vibrant fruit but still with grip.

Passole Nero d’Avola/Merlot di Sicilia,
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 slightly light NdA bulked up a bit by rich and soft Merlot. It undergoes a slight “Ripasso” treatment. “Da uve leggermente appassite” as they say. This gives it extra oomph. Good depth, nice and silky.

Kinisia Merlot/Nero d’Avola di Sicilia
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!

Dans l’Air du Temps Pinot Noir by Jeff Carrel
5
50 Great Red Wines of the World: 93/100
“The nose sends aromas of black fruits, sweet spices and torrefaction” according to Jeff…and I’m getting some serious “chocolate”.
The palate is round and fresh with a smokey and fruity finish.
Good with fish, but even better with poultry, veal and scrambled eggs…Pinot NoirLight & FruityFrance2021750 ml13-13.5%£12.75

Peninsula de Lisboa Portuguese Red
Step-by-step we increase the intensity and complexity from the Lisbon Region. This time a blend of Castelão (50%) and Aragonez (50%) which is aged for six months in oak barrels. There’s a beautiful clean structure about this wine (maybe the absence of the rustic Touriga?). Harmonious and spicy. Yum.
