Excelsior Evanthius Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cabernet Sauvignon pays homage to Evanthuis, a Hackney horse that was imported by Excelsior in 1913. This Hackney sire was a champion in Britain and America, winning first prize four times at the London Hackney show and in New York, in the days when the Hackney was the king of the world. He went on to win many titles in South Africa, including that of Rosebank’s Champion Stallion.
This Cabernet comes from the oldest vines on the farm. They were planted in 1988 in the best calcareous soils.
Deep ruby red colour with a black core. This wine is full-bodied with aromas of blackcurrants, chocolate and cedar. The wine has rich, but soft tannins and a long finish.

Felline Primitivo di Manduria
Based on the huge popularity of “Fellone” I thought we should have a closer look at the Primitivo grape. Here’s one of four more, each with a distinct “terroir”. What’s the Italian for “terroir”, I wonder? This one is distinctive due to the red soil of the vineyards. Aged for six months in French oak.

Abbotts & Delaunay “Alto Stratus” Carignan

Giravolta Primitivo di Manduria
Based on the huge popularity of “Fellone” I thought we should have a closer look at the Primitivo grape. Here’s one of four more, each with a distinct “terroir”. What’s the Italian for “terroir”, I wonder? This one is distinctive due to the calcareous white soil of the vineyards. Aged for nine months in French oak.

Jean Michel Dupré Morgon Grand Cras 2022
A hugely exciting new range of Cru Beaujolais specially brought in to give us all a vinous Christmas treat, but don’t wait for Christmas.
Jean-Michel’s own notes suggest hints of Kirsch, licorice and spices and he recommends Lapin aux Pruneaux as a meal to accompany the wine. Just off to the butcher’s to get some rabbit!
The slight 12½ % alcohol belies the lovely deep, fleshy and peppery flavours. I get parma violets if you remember those? Smooth tannins and a nice grip.

“Zinfandel” Primitivo di Manduria from Felline
With the huge success of Fellone, I decided that Primitivo needed a closer inspection, so here’s one of four new ones, all from Felline down in the south of Italy.This one is a slight variation, being styled “Zinfandel Californiano”. That’s what they call it over there but is a strain of Primitivo all the same. Terroir is Mandurian black soil and the 15% wine was aged for six months in French and American oak.

Laura Lardy Beaujolais Villages Red “Gourde a Gamay”
A hugely exciting new range of Cru Beaujolais specially brought in to give us all a vinous Christmas treat, but don’t wait for Christmas.
Unsurprisingly, considering Laura’s Fleurie, her “simple” Beaujolais Villages is a cut above the rest. If you remember the good old days of Beaujolais Nouveau when we looked forward to the 14th November and that deliciously grapey, Ribena-coloured youthful wine hit the shelves, then this is like that but soooo much better and with an extra dimension of structure to make it a joy to drink on its own but also with the meal.
