Low Stock Arquero Malbec 2023

Arquero Malbec 2023

Item Code: 3540023

Description

Fans of Argentinian Malbec will enjoy delicious Arquero. It’s from a family-owned bodega in the San Juan region. There vines grow as high as 700 metres, yet the climate is warm, producing silky, supple ripeness in this spicy, berry-filled red.

Argentina’s Malbec has taken the world by storm. While most come from Mendoza, Arquero hails from San Juan in the northwest. Vineyards are planted high, around 700 metres, under clear skies, providing optimal conditions for the vines. Despite producing delicious wines, the region’s lack of marketing muscle means they remain something of a secret. Here you’ll find Bodegas Antigua, started in 1990 by wine enthusiast Don Luis Victor Chirino. A builder by trade, he bought a winery with land for vines. His HQ is a historic building and local landmark, erected in 1918 and one of San Juan’s first earthquake-proof structures. After restoration, it’s been transformed into a wonderful cellar. A red ideal for solo sipping, or with grilled meats.

Cabalié 2023

Item Code: 0022623

Description

A smooth, richly spiced, black red – our most reordered ever and with a history of umpteen Golds. From deep in southern France, Cabalié needs no ceremony. A Grenache-charged, old-vine gem, brimful of spicy berry fruit.



Take a minute to read the (literally thousands of) 5-star online reviews for Cabalié. This one is typical: “When my time comes to shuffle off this mortal coil, this is the wine I want in that final glass. It is simply, utterly, indescribably fantastic.” Its secret? It’s crafted by a master winemaker, Hervé Sabardeil, following the centuries-old style beloved of Roman centurions, who first made wine there. Raspberry-rich Grenache, with herby Syrah and Carignan, Cabalié has impressive concentration.

That’s due to the maturity of the vines, most well over 50 years old. The tiny berries they produce give Cabalié extraordinarily rich, ripe flavours. Boasting 8 Golds in as many vintages, this much-loved red is warming solo or with hearty dishes.

Domaine La Lirande Syrah 2022

Item Code: 3950622

Description

Pure Syrah is rarely found solo in the wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon; it's usually reserved for the pricy reds of the northern Rhône. From a small family domaine and vineyards close to Corbières, this has dark, smoky black fruit and spice.

Our scout and buyer for the Languedoc-Roussillon is Mark Hoddy. He's always searching the region's vineyards, to check out the vintage and the finest parcels of grapes. This is an ace find Mark discovered first in 2019 via an old friend in Corbières. Close by is Domaine La Lirande, a small estate founded in 1912 by the grandfather, François, in the tiny village of Coulobres. Every year, the Syrah from the domaine's 8 hectares of 40-year-old vines stands out for quality. Just taste the richness of this seductive red. Ripe black fruit, velvety, with smoky liquorice and wild herb notes, it's young, so best with hearty dishes like pasta bake or at a barbecue.

Low Stock Ginestières Merlot (187ml) 2021

Ginestières Merlot (187ml) 2021

Item Code: 4230421

Description

As with all wines from this outstanding domaine, Ginestières Merlot delivers quality and style beyond what you'd expect of a simple 'vin de France'. With dark cassis and wild herb flavours, this silky gem's a smart alternative to costlier St-Émilion.

It’s rare to see a French Merlot of this calibre at this price. This is partly explained by its provenance, the Languedoc Roussillon, “the most exciting region in France” (Sunday Times), which also provides much of France’s best-value wine. But credit must also go to ‘Merlot maestro’ Claude Gros, who perfected his skills in Saint-Émilion. Among his many successes is a now famous Merlot-rich Grand Cru, Château La Fleur Morange, that scored 96/100 from critic Robert Parker. Claude returned to his southern French roots, and Domaine Ginestières at the heart of the Minervois, where he makes this majestic Merlot at an amazingly down to earth price. Enjoy this Gold-medal winner's fine, dark cherry and wild herb character alongside roast chicken.

Low Stock Le XV du Président 2022

Le XV du Président 2022

Item Code: 3310022

Description

Roussillon is home to dense fruit and spice-powered Grenache grapes, just what’s required for the legendary XV. This wine has inspired a generation of Big Reds and remains incomparably rich, weighty and satisfying.



Le XV is known to thousands as our ‘King of the Big Reds’. It owes its intensity to Grenache from vines, some over 100 years old, that grow on the rocky slopes of the Pyrenean foothills in the Montagne Noire and yield only tiny quantities of grapes. Le XV also benefits from the painstaking care of self-confessed southern French wine aficionado Mark Hoddy, whose draconian selection process sees him earmark in advance every vineyard he intends to harvest and micro-manage every stage of the winemaking. This takes time, but you can taste the result in every delicious glass!

Richly textured, with layers of ripe bramble fruit kept smooth by warming alcohol and soft, ripe tannins, this is a red to enjoy with roast lamb, steak or a hearty stew.

Opi Malbec 2023

Item Code: 2582523

Description

This appealing red carved a name for itself on the world stage when it was named ‘Best Malbec of Argentina’ on its debut vintage. An impressive feat in a country that’s renowned for the quality of its Malbec. Velvety smooth with ripe black fruit.

Rodolfo Sadler, affectionately known as Opi, is one of Argentina’s most exciting talents. He’s an easy going, affable man, with a hint of mischief in his eyes – yet he’s incredibly humble. When probed about the secret of crafting such exceptional wines (two of which are always in our Top 20!), he simply shrugged and said, “this is how my family has always made wine.” Typical Opi – seriously modest. And why ‘Opi’? The nickname comes from his childhood, when his little sister would follow him through the family vineyards, calling out ‘Opi, Opi’, as she couldn’t quite pronounce his name. Now, four decades on and an internationally renowned winemaker, the name’s firmly stuck. Enjoy this delicious red with a grilled steak or hearty casserole.

Saracosa 2020

Item Code: 0557120

Description

Saracosa is inspired by the 'Super Tuscans' – a style first developed by Antinori in the 1970s.

These wines kick started the region's renaissance and became some of the most exclusive and expensive in the world. Saracosa is from the Barbanera family estate, overlooked by the Saracosa hill near Montalcino. Half the vineyards are in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, and the remainder just beyond. In the fine 2019 vintage Saracosa's old vines delivered exceptional concentration.
The fruit was then part-aged in French oak barriques to lend a toasty layer of complexity. Dense, dark cherry and chocolatey tones make this a serious choice for pasta with pork ragù or bistecca alla fiorentina (steak with cannellini beans in tomato sauce).

Villa Clarius 2022

Item Code: 4330922

Description

The Lauren-Cabaret cellar has been making great wine in the Minervois region for almost 100 years. Villa Claudius is pure, handpicked Carignan, whole-grape fermented (like Beaujolais) to highlight its bright silky fruit, wild herbs and spice notes.

It’s rare to discover a red wine from the Minervois region made purely from Carignan. Even rarer, when it’s all from old-vine Carignan, but for this prize-winning cellar it’s something of a speciality, clear from the Gold medal that it’s already won. Winemaker Sylvain Delabre knows exactly how to get the very best from his precious handpicked grapes, bringing out all the supple blackberry and raspberry fruit, along with subtle notes of wild herbs and spice. Whole grape fermentation ensures the wine is deliciously silky and supple, with minimal tannins and no hard edges. A red wine with character and depth, and freshness too. A great choice with all sorts of midweek dishes – from grilled meats, to sausage and mash or pesto pasta.

w/o Organic Frappato 2023

Item Code: 4160223

Description

Presenting w/o - winemaker Dino Taschetta's ambitious new project. A wine made without (w/o) compromise. A delicious berry and cherry-filled Sicilian red, mindfully made. Packaged in 100% recycled glass, it’s aromatic and brimming with bright fruits.

We first met Dino when he began restoring his grandfather's earthquake-struck vineyard, high in the Sicilian hills. You loved the wine it made - Tenuta Fenice. Not one to rest on his laurels, he's started another ambitious new project called w/o - wine made without compromise. He chose native Frappato as his champion, all grown organically thanks to Sicily's warm, dry climate and Dino's diligence. It's bottled in 100% recycled glass too, known as 'wild' glass, a UK first. You may notice a little variation in colour, perhaps a few tiny bubbles. All part of the charm, as is the delicious red berry and cherry fruit that greets you on the aroma and continues through on the bright, juicy palate. Try chilled solo, or with pizza or pesto pasta.
