Finca la Colonia, Torrontes (Argentina)
A sophisticated, dry, elegant rendition of this aromatic
grape variety, combining minerality with peach and floral notes such as
rose and jasmine.
Angelo, Catarratto/Chardonnay (Italy)
Ripe fruit aromas are followed by delicious pear and
peach flavours and a long creamy finish
De Martino, Sauvignon Blanc (Chile)
Pale yellow in colour (almost transparent) this Sauvignon
Blanc has intense notes of citrus fruit such as grapefruit on the nose.
On the palate, the acidity is crisp, fresh and elegant. Overall the wine
is extremely well-balanced with a long and fruity finish.
Vina Santa Rita, 120 Sauvignon Blanc (Chile)
Crisp fresh dry white with green fruit flavours. With a
lively, zesty freshness normally associated with fine Sancerre. One of
the New World's finest value for money dry whites.
Bodegas Julian Chivite, Gran Feudo Chardonnay (Spain)
Creamy banana/melon fruit and a crisp, bright structure
make this a particularly appealing unoaked Chardonnay
Masi, Modello Bianco delle Venezie (Italy)
With 75% Garganega and 25% Pinot Grigio/Pinot Bianco this
has a typical fresh and inviting Pinot Grigio nose with mineral
overtones. Full of flavour and very satisfying; opens out to be a
multifaceted wine on the palate.
Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, Candidato Tinto (Spain)
Ruby red colour, spicy, lactic. Bodied, tasty, smooth on
the palate. Noble tannins with balsamic finish.
Les Templiers, Shiraz/Viognier (France)
A big fruity palate, is balanced by the soft tannin
finish, to produce a full bodied red with berry fruit style.
Prunotto, Barbera d’Asti Fiulot (Italy)
Excellent modern Barbera: fresh cherry fruit, with good
depth and a smooth finish
Casa Lapostolle, Cabernet Sauvignon (Chile)
Deep, intense red ruby colour. Attractive nose of mature
red fruit, jam and spices. On the pallet the wine is filling and supple,
well balanced and harmonious, with refined and smooth tannins. The oak
is discrete and well integrated. A very approachable wine that can be
enjoyed now or cellared for a few years.
Masi Tupingato, Passo Doble (Argentina)
Fragrant and complex on the nose with ripe red fruit
aromas. Up-front and powerful on the palate with hints of spice and mown
grass opening out into flavours of ripe plums and cooked cherries. Long
finish with tinges of sweet liquorice.
Bodegas Julian Chivite, Gran Feudo Reserva (Spain)
From a top vintage, this shows ripe strawberry and
blackberry fruit on the nose, complemented by a generous, spicy palate,
well-integrated oak, and a long harmonious finish.
