  • “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.

  • “The Inspector General” from The Treaty Port Estate China

    From a vineyard established in 2005 on the Shandong peninsula by Chris Ruffle comes this classic Bordeaux blend, aged in french oak barrels and displaying ripe, dark fruits and a hint of vanilla oak. No surprise that Chateau Lafite chose to make their first Chinese wine, Long Dai 2017, from neigbouring fields! Chris’s vines are older, of course, and 2014 was an excellent vintage. This is a limited release of 5000 bottles.

  • Rioja Martinez Alesanco “Eco” Organic

    So much to say! Tim Atkin gives it 90/100. The 2016 vintage marks the second coupage, or blending, of this organic Tempranillo with 14% Garnacha Tinta, sourced from two plots facing each other at 650 meters in the small village of Badarán. Predominantly fruit with a touch of wood. It is refreshing, juicy, with fine tannins and red and black fruits.”

    It’s an oaky Crianza, needs no more aging.

  • Lucien Lardy Moulin-à-Vent Les Thorins 2021

    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.

    Lucien is Laura’s dad. Quality runs in the family! His Moulin-à-Vent differs from the other Crus in this range in that it is a bit  deeper, richer, more structured and has a more Burgundian feel about it. More cherries and red fruit than parma violets. Certainly one to go with the Sunday Roast or Christmas Dinner.

    A blend of Syrah, Carignan and Grenache which really showcases one of the Languedoc’s fine range of regional appellations. 40% of the handpicked grapes are aged in oak following fermentation. The result is a fat, structured red but it’s not “in your face” it’s really very nicely balanced.
