14/27 Agiorgitiko 2019

Item Code: 4239719

Description

Situated in the northeast of the Peloponnese, Nemea has long been known for its mythical lion and red wines from Agiorgitiko grape. From top winemaker Pavlos, this wine has bright, silky red fruit, oak spice with appetising freshness.

Nemea is one of Greece's most important regions for red wine. It's main star is the Agiorgitiko grape, which thrives on the mineral-rich, red clay soils which help bring out complexity and freshness in a wine. Revel here in the bright red fruits tempered by subtle vanilla spice from ageing in part new French oak barrels - a wine with a great balance of deep fruit, oak and rounded tannins. Its name comes from an ancient Greek convention of bringing together 14 or 27 people to discuss an idea. A region rich in history, Nemea is where Heracles slay the Nemean lion as part of his 12 Labours. Myths aside, top winemaker Pavlos Argyropoulos has crafted this appealing red. Sure proof that Greek winemaking is in top form. Souvlaki here we come!

200 Gallons Reserva 2022

Item Code: 4097122

Description

Jaime Quendera, our favourite Portuguese winemaker, has made a juicy, fruit-forward red, aged in a very special cask. Enjoy Alicante Bouschet’s smooth texture in this red from rare, ancient vines that oozes rich flavours of black cherry and pepper.

Can you imagine buying 1,008 bottles of wine in one year? That’s 200 gallons to be exact – the same amount that each American household was allowed to make for ‘personal use’ during Prohibition. And the go-to grape during this DIY time wasn’t Cabernet or Merlot, it was the bold and juicy Alicante Bouschet - widely planted in California but originally from Portugal. Today, award-winning winemaker Jamie Quendera has crafted a mighty, Reserva-quality red, from rare 100-year-old vines. And the unique twist? Jamie aged the wine for 12 months in custom double casks. The top and bottom are French oak (imparting subtle spice) while the long side planks are American (for vanilla notes). The result is an ultra-smooth, cherry-ripe, well-spiced drop!

30 Mile Shiraz 2021

Item Code: 3230821

Description

If it's a bold, flavour-filled Shiraz you're after, you're in the right place. From Trophy-winning winemaker John Quarisa, 30 Mile is jam-packed with deliciously ripe and bold berry fruit and spice. More than worthy of its Gold-medal.



The judges at China's Wine & Spirits Best Value Awards were impressed by this rich, spicy Shiraz, unanimously awarding it a Gold. It’s from John Quarisa, who for many years made wine for the biggest names in Oz, winning both the Jimmy Watson and Stodart Trophies.

Today, with the help of his wife Josephine, he crafts winners like this. ‘Passion is Everything’ is their motto, and, after just over a decade in operation, their winery in New South Wales boasts four stars from Aussie wine guru James Halliday. He describes the “exceptional value for money provided by the wines” and is full of praise for this red. It’s deliciously easy going, but still packs a punch of luscious ripe fruit. A sure bet for a bbq, a roast or a hearty bake.

360° Series Carmenere 2020

Item Code: 4389320

Description

The Abruzzo region is renowned for its natural beauty, a region where the sea and mountains collide and made famous by the wines made from Montepulciano.

A great example of Montepulciano is the Caroso Montepulciano Riserva 2018. This supple and easy drinking style is made even more impressive by releasing it as a Riserva. As a Riserva, it must be aged for a minimum of two years – of which six months have to be in barrel. This has had much longer – two years in oak – with extended bottle ageing too. Crafted from 100% Montepulciano, hand-picked from vines between 20-40 years old, this complex red is rich with deep cherry and plum fruit, and imbued with a silky complexity. It would pair well with hard cheeses as well as mushroom dishes, particularly truffle.

For delicious drinkability, elegance and value among reds, look to Alambrado. This wine is from Argentina's outstanding Zuccardi cellar, winner of many awards. Pure dark, velvety Malbec, it's a very moreish with its fig, plum and mocha notes.



Silky fruit-filled Alambrado is from Familia Zuccardi, one of the finest cellars in all Argentina. Three times it has been awarded Argentina's 'Top Value Brand' by IWC and head of the family, José Zuccardi, was given a lifetime achievement award by the same competition in 2016.

He says, "We believe in using people rather than machines whenever possible.” This smooth, fruity red is made purely from Argentina’s flagship grape, Malbec.

Low Stock Albastrele Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Albastrele Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Item Code: 4150119

Description

We've bought you crisp whites and fresh rosés from Moldova's award winning Albastrele. Now here is a smooth, blackberry bursting Cabernet. A mix of young and old vines gives a balance between freshness and dark, smoky richness to this tasty drop.

Cabernet Sauvignon is known to be the hero of Bordeaux. But this thick-skinned berry also excels in Moldova, a country with a strong winemaking history, as well as a handful of award winning modern wineries - Albastrele being one of these.

Since its launch over a decade ago, Albastrele has amassed awards in Europe for nearly every vintage.

It shows just how perfect for winemaking the Black Sea influenced climate in Moldova really is.

No wonder that during the 18th and 19th centuries Moldova became the ‘Vineyard to the Tsars’.

Made from hand picked grapes at the Tvarditsa Estate, Albastrele is named after the cornflowers that carpet the vineyards in spring.

Winemaker Haraba Marian has crafted a smooth, blackberry rich Cabernet in 2019.

Item Code: 4402521

Description

Fans of Portugal’s rich, dark reds, listen up! Here’s a special, one-off parcel from one of our favourite,multi-award-winning producers. Using nearly all native grapes, aged in barriques, it has very deep fruit, with layers of toasty complexity.



From a winery and winemaker that bring you Stones & Bones, one of our top-scoring Portuguese reds, this is a fabulous, one-off, premium release. It’s a red with two years’ maturity – delicious drinking now, but one with the richness, depth and structure for ageing, too.

It’s made by Vasco Martins at the fifth-generation family cellar, Casa Santos Lima, a terrific blend of 40% Syrah, with portions of Alicante, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez, all aged in French and American oak barriques, to lend layers of toasty vanilla spice to the dense black fruit. A sensational red with amazing depth of flavour. Best to open early and decant, if you can, so all the flavours open out. A great wine to serve with roast lamb, rich casseroles or at a barbecue.

Low Stock Alpha Domus Merlot Cabernet Collection 2017

Alpha Domus Merlot Cabernet Collection 2017

Item Code: 4253117

Description

There's plenty of noise about New Zealand's great whites, but don't forget the reds. Most of the fine Bordeaux-style blends come from North Island's Hawke's Bay. From a family estate, here's a superb silky red with bright fruit and savoury length.

Alpha Domus was started in the early days of New Zealand winemaking – 1989 to be precise.

Anthonius and Leonarda Ham saw that the Western Heretaunga region of Hawke's Bay, with its ancient riverbeds and moderate climate, held the secret to fine wines.

They planted vineyards in this area, now known as the Bridge Pa Triangle district, and were one of the subregion's first wineries.

They remain family-owned today and have received Trophies for their impressive wines. 30 years later, they have converted fully to organic viticulture, with certification from the 2023 vintage.

New Zealander Barry Riwai is the winemaker. With considerable experience all over the world, he is well suited to produce this elegant Kiwi take on a Bordeaux blend.

Altos de la Guardia Crianza Rioja 2021

Item Code: 1516121

Description

Over the last five vintages this Crianza has won Trophy for 'Best Red over £10' plus 14 Golds. It's from Haut-Brion-trained winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua, at his super-high bodega, Altos. Silky, elegant with ripe fruit, violets and gentle spice.

Bordeaux-born Jean-Marc Sauboua has been our Trophy-winning winemaker at Bordeaux’s Château La Clarière for many years. In 2006, he decided to start a winery of his own and, with Spanish blood, decided Rioja was his destination. His aim: to make a Grand Cru of Rioja. He has no vineyards but works with the same growers he has since the start. The mature vines lie above 700 metres, the highest in Rioja, to ensure an elegant, modern style. He's won well 300 Golds since 2006, as well as Trophies for Winery of the Year, Rioja of the Year and Best Spanish Red over £10. 2021 was classed a very good vintage. High up where Altos lies, it's always cool, so ripening is slow, and wines are fresh. Aged a year in oak, this elegant red is best decanted.
