Excelsior “Paddock” Shiraz South Africa
This is widely regarded as the El Nino year in South Africa. The summer was hotter and riper than normal which required some adaptation in the vineyards to ensure a quality grape harvest. Grapes were harvested earlier than normal to ensure that there was freshness in the wines. The positive aspect of the drought was a very healthy crop with good concentration. The red wines from 2017 are rich and very structured.
30% of the wine was aged in french and american oak barrels for 8 months.Spicy and dried herbs, every bit a Shiraz but with more restraint and structure than an Aussie Shiraz of the same price (in my humble opinion). Good spice and tannins make it good with food but it’s still soft enough to enjoy on its own. Maybe it’s the 15% of Petit Verdot in the blend which elevates it from the norm?

Excelsior Purebred Red South Africa
From a great Estate in Robertson Shiraz Vines and Merlot combine together with a hint of oak, but mainly left to settle and rest in tank for nine months before release. Blackcurrants, cherries and spices. This is a soft and smooth wine very easy to drink on its own.

Domaine de Belle Mare Les Collines Picpoul/Vermentino/Viognier
Picpoul is not the only white varietal down in the Oc, there are plenty of others, such as this. The blend is Picpoul for freshness and va-va-voom, Vermentino for a bit of grip and Viognier for a bit more body. The result is a lovely round, fruity dry wine with good length.

Carignan Blanc “sur lit” by Jeff Carrel
This wine is meant to be cloudy! One of Jeff’s self-declared Top Five. This is Sur Lit (“sur lie”, geddit?)….100% Carignan Blanc and non-filtered leaving the lees in the bottle. Jeff wants you to shake the bottle to stir up the lees.The result is a cloudy wine with loads of leesy aromas. Normally a light flavoured wine such as a Muscadet is left on its lees in tank for a while, stirred occasionally to get the extra lees flavour but then filtered bright. Worth a punt, don’t you think?

Abbotts & Delaunay Merlot
Lovely soft Merlot from the south of France yet with firm structure making it equally good on its own or with food. Has good spice and might be mistaken for a claret if served blind!

Abbotts & Delaunay Corbieres
A blend of Grenache and Syrah 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. Like the Minervois but softer.
