Ken Forrester Stagmanskop Chenin Blanc 2021

Item Code: 4228021

Description

Ken Forrester is South Africa's 'Mr Chenin' - he's mad about the grape. And sustainability too. This fabulous white is from the exciting new, coastal-cooled Piekenierskloof region. Stagmanskop is a dazzling ray of pure citrus, with apple and blossom.

Ken Forrester is world renowned for his expertise with Chenin Blanc and has won an enormous number of top awards for them. He was one of the first in the Cape to show just how brilliant this grape could be. Ask him how to make a perfect Chenin, he answers "I wish I knew" and continues "Chenin is the most delicious wine and it is totally at home barefoot or in high heels and a dinner suit." Ken is also a strong advocate for sustainability and care for the community which, together, means everything is done by hand with meticulous care. Stagmanskop is a pure, citrusy Chenin from high vineyards, that look down on the Atlantic and are cooled by strong coastal winds. Enjoy its bright citrus, apple and melon fruit. Great with spicy Asian dishes.

Kir-Yianni Assyrtiko 2021

Item Code: 4240121

Description

From the mountain slopes of Amyndeon, in NW Greece, comes this crisp, apple-fresh and citrusy white. It's from a renowned, 5th-generation winemaking family and uses the prized Assyrtiko grape, "the most thrilling sip yet" (Times). A dazzling white.

If you've visited Greece and enjoyed the wine, you're very likely to have sampled a bottle from Boutari, the dynasty that brought the country's wine industry back to life. The family started the business in 1879. A century later, 4th-generation Yiannis, started on a quest to promote a more regionalised, boutique-style of production, planting a high-altitude vineyard too. Eventually he broke away from the family, becoming one of the leading figures of modern Greek wines. His winery is named Kir-Yianni and his son Stellios took charge in 1999, meticulously combining innovation with respect for tradition. The outcome is exceptional wines like this fine Assyrtiko. Crisp and stony fresh, it's great solo, with seafood or, of course, Greek salad.

La Porte des Princes Grenache 2021

Item Code: 2004121

Description

Southern Rhône red from an award-winning Châteauneuf winemaker and a high-quality vintage. The cellar for this wine is in prestigious Châteauneuf, and the vineyards are just next door. Ripe and luscious Grenache, it’s all juicy fruit and spice.



With Gold medals galore, Thierry Ferlay has made wine all over the world but remains fondest of the warm, ripe reds of the southern Rhône. He also adores their chief grape, Grenache – the most important variety in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In fact he’s in charge of winemaking at this renowned appellation’s only co-operative winery, where all the growers are part owners of the enterprise. Naturally, maximising quality is at the forefront of their minds, which explains this wine’s exceptional flavour and value.

Made purely from Grenache, it has irresistible raspberry fruit, hints of spice and a peppery edge. Enjoy with ratatouille, lamb chops and homemade burgers. And because it’s so smooth and not too heavy, it’s ideal sipping on its own, too.

Low Stock La Voûte 2022

La Voûte 2022

Item Code: 1409622

Description

Superb, oak-fermented, Gold-medal Chardonnay from Le Chai that tastes more Meursault than Languedoc.



One of Le Chai's most prized whites, La Voûte is the team work of winemaker Mark Hoddy and a meticulous grower in the Limoux, Bruno Bouché. Mark's aim with this wine is to make a rich, yet mineral-fresh Burgundy-style wine at an affordable price.

He knows exactly where to source the best grapes each vintage – Bruno Bouché's Astruc vineyard in Limoux Océanique, where the vines, planted at 300 metres, benefit from both the cooling Atlantic and the warmth of the Med. It results in intense ripe fruit with excellent freshness. After careful pressing the juice is put into new barrels to ferment slowly. A further year’s ageing in oak, with lees stirring, lends a creamy texture to the peachy lemon fruit. Serve cool with creamy sauced chicken.

Le Géant du Pic 2021

Item Code: 4229321

Description

A real flavour of southern France in this fabulous, rich, spiced red from an exceptional area. Its vineyards weave through grand sites, whose top bottles fetch £30-40. Our Giant costs a mere fraction, but delivers every bit of dark fruit taste.

Val de Montferrand's vineyards run like ribbons through the Grand Cru of Pic Saint Loup, "one of the most sought-after zones of the Languedoc" (Andrew Jefford). Here lie famous estates like Domaine de l'Hortus and Château Lascaux, whose wines fetch £25+. It's a region where the coastal plains transition into grand mountains, namely Pic Saint Loup and Hortus. Legend has it that the two used to be one great peak, until two lovers, Estiennou and Estiennette, were fleeing an arranged marriage that would keep them apart. The giant Gargantua heard their cries and, taking pity, used his great sword to split the mountains and give them a means of escape! Love story aside, it's a rich, dark red, with gorgeous depth thanks to the cool climate.

Le Pavillon de Targé 2017

Item Code: 4238217

Description

The wines of Saumur-Champigny rarely escape the shores of France - they are too well-loved in their homeland. This is a gorgeously silky, supple, pure Cabernet Franc red, from Paul Pisani-Ferry's 300-year-old, certified-organic family estate.

Château de Targé has been in the Pisani-Ferry family since 1655. Paul P-F took over in 2017, to continue the family heritage and to give it new life. He immediately started converting the vineyards to be fully organic, so they would last another three centuries! He has reintroduced biodiversity, planting trees and different vegetation to attract the 'good' insects and deter the unwelcome. All the vineyards are centred around the 11th-century Eglise du Parnay, and are planted on limestone soils with the region's heroes, Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Paul has gained wide experience – in California, Stellenbosch, Mendoza and Sonoma. A light touch in the cellar has produced this fine, silky red. Superb with grilled meats or panfried tuna.

Le Tarral Montpeyroux 2018

Item Code: 4237018

Description

Southern France's Languedoc produces red wines of remarkable richness and depth. Long lived too, when they come from smart areas like Monpeyroux. A 3-way split of deeply concentrated Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, it's velvety with herbal black fruit.

Ambitious to achieve full cru status, Montpeyroux lies just northeast of Montpellier, nestled in the foothills of famous Larzac, the wines of which go for a high sum. Montpeyroux is a small village that has been prized for its exceptional wines since the Romans. It used to be an important trading post, as well as a refuge for pilgrims on their long trudge to Santiago de Compostella. This spring, our buyer based close by discovered this terrific red in the local wine bar and sought out the cellar. Vineyards here are buffeted all year round by the strong local wind, La Tramontane. It helps keep the vines disease-free and means the grapes ripen only slowly. Old-vine Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, it's a rich dark partner for a hearty casserole.

Low Stock Les Deux Vallées Savennières 2019

Les Deux Vallées Savennières 2019

Item Code: 4079119

Description

Classic, citrus-zipped, dry Chenin Blanc, from a true specialist and the top appellation of Savennières. Philippe Socheleau uses grapes from his finest vineyards, situated in two valleys. Lees ageing lends creamy weight to its intense lemon fruit.

The Socheleau family are relatively new to wine, but they've learnt fast. Réne Socheleau was an apple grower, but his son Philippe was looking for a new direction. So, in 2001, they purchased Domaine des Deux Vallées with proceeds from selling their apple orchards. One of the first things they did was to rip out the plantings of Sauvignon and Chardonnay. This is fine wine territory for Chenin Blanc. Their vineyards lie on two main terroirs (hence the name Deux Vallées). The first is on the slopes between the Loire and the Layon; the second is around the village of Saint Lambert du Latay. Aged on fine lees for six months, this is a rich, rounded, yet intensely citrusy white, with light smoke notes and minerality. A superb dinner party wine.
