Since Tony Laithwaite first worked in Castillon in 1967, he has been a champion of the region. As Wine International wrote, and he believes: ''If it weren't for the line dividing Castillon from Saint Emilion, its wines would be twice the price. The hills are the same, the soil is the same, the exposure is the same.'' In 1980 Tony bought Château La Clarière and has been proving his point ever since, winning Golds and Trophies, and twice the coveted Paris' Lauréat Prix d'Excellence.
The 2019 La Clarière has two Gold medals and shows off the "exceptional balance" (Antoni Galloni) of the "through-the-roof-good" (robertparker.com) 2019 Bordeaux vintage. Jancis Robinson said that "tasting the 2020s was a real joy" and the 2020 La Clarière reflects that joy with six Golds, Double Gold, and Grand Gold. 2021 was a more challenging vintage, yet the 2021 La Clarière still garnered Grand Gold and Gold – which really shows its mettle!
Whether you choose the beautifully balanced 2019, the joyously fruity 2020 or the elegant and refined 2021, you will have a stunning addition to your banquet table. If you're feeling very decadent, you could open one of each and have a fascinating tasting. Invite some wine loving friends around and make an event of it!
Plus receive three FREE bottles of Cuvée Prestigieux Côtes-du-Rhône and 10 pieces of reusable Wine Pouring Disc (total worth $547), FREE. You can also enjoy FREE DELIVERY & 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!
In reds, you've a lavish beauty from Médoc "the most famous red wine district in Bordeaux" (Jancis Robinson, MW), a fine Spanish Rioja, lush black red favourites from Italy's south, a rich, chocolatey, TRIPLE Gold Australian Shiraz – and more.
It proudly owns 360 hectares of vineyard throughout the three subregions, with this luscious cellar-release Gran Reserva named after its first plots, planted in the village of Bergasa.
Only the finest Tempranillo grapes are hand selected for the Altos de Bergasa Gran Reserva Rioja 2016. The wine is aged at least a year in barrel and the rest of the time in bottle. 8 years' age lends a mellow red fruit softness to the nose, with aromas of leather and tobacco. The silky red fruits continue on the palate, complemented by vanilla and spice on a long, indulgent finish. Decant early and serve alongside potatoes cooked with spicy chorizo or a rack of slow-cooked pork ribs.
Life's too short for regrets. Say yes to Rioja now!

Here, cool high-altitude vineyards, well-draining soil, and plenty of sunshine make up the secret formula to the country's exceptional slow-ripened reds.
Soft, jam-packed with ripe red fruits, hints of violets and clove-like spice – Patagonia's Bariloche Malbec 2021 is irresistibly smooth. The dinosaur on the label is a nod to the 75-million-year-old fossil they unearthed when planting the vines. Modern winemaking meets natural history!
Mendoza winemaker Opi Sadler also makes history – by crafting our No.1 Malbec of all time Opi Malbec 2022. It's a juicy, dark bramble treat – perfect for pairing with empanadas or parrillada (barbecued meats).
Malbec might be the star attraction from Argentina, but Mendoza produces world-class Cabernet, too. Just ask James Suckling. He awarded a mighty 92pts to the Navarro Correas Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2020. Selected from the 220-year-old estate's 60 individual vineyards – only the best parcels make the final blackberry and cassis-rich blend.
French oak barrel aged with silky fruit finesse, this profound Reservado Cabernet Franc comes hand-picked from Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza. Crafted by Bordeaux-raised winemaker Hervé Fabre, this complex red exhibits rich raspberry, plum and cassis fruit characters wrapped in a layer of warm cedar spice. At well under half price – do not miss this!
