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.

We work closely with great producers to ensure we get the best wines for our Averys label range. Our new German Riesling is crafted for us by Gabel winery, a small family estate with 350 years of winemaking history. Recently awarded “Rising star of the year 2022” in Germany’s Eichelmann Wine Guide, Oliver Gabel learnt his craft through the vineyards of Baden, Bordeaux, Burgundy and South Africa. He’s now developed his own style at home in the Pfalz, striving for elegant wines that show their origin. This Riesling is from limestone soils in organic vineyards giving the wine an invigorating mineral character. Wild yeast fermentation in traditional wooden vats (some more than 100 years old!) preserves the vibrant fruit aromas. Drink or cellar.
The 2022 produced some "unbelievable wines" (Decanter) and you have three luxury examples here. 2018 and 2020 were exceptional too, as the TRIPLE Gold 2018 Gromel Bel Air and SEVEN Gold 2020 Haut Pougnan show. And then there’s a not-so-recent vintage – an extraordinary 2004 from a very fine St-Émilion estate. Held back for 21 years until its most magnificent drinking peak, it’s beautifully, evocatively mellow – a glorious wine.

If you enjoy the food-friendly reds of northern Italy, especially the Valpolicella Ripasso style, you'll love this. We have worked with Italian Winery of the Year Cantina di Negrar for years. They own a vineyard in the Marano Valley and they’ve offered us a deal on their Rosso Veronese – a wine usually reserved for their Italian fans. It’s named after Bartolomeo Lorenzi, whose epic 18th-century poem of rural life made Valpolicella wines famous the world over.
The Marano Valley is especially cool, so grapes take longer to ripen, which adds depth, character and freshness to the wines. Also included is a dash of dark Amarone. With black cherry fruit and Christmas cake spice, it’s hard to imagine a more appealing Veronese red. Great with game.
Let’s go back in time! To the 1st century AD and vineyards planted to serve the ruling elite at the thriving Roman port of Troia. Here, on Portugal’s windswept Atlantic coast, the only grape that thrives in the dry, sandy soils and super-hot sun is local star Castelão. This small, dark-skinned grape boasts fathomless depths of flavour – if you know how to unlock it. Back to today and enter Gold-medal maestro Jaime Quendera at Portugal’s most awarded winery, Casa Ermelinda Freitas. Only made in the best years, this Black Red flies of our shelves as soon as it's in stock. So our advice is: if you see it, buy it! Rippling with ripe plums, black fruits and laced with chocolate, with a spicy oak finish. At 14.5% it’s got power, so sip slowly.
Don’t forget – the 11th of May is Mother’s Day! Time to make the mothers in your life know how much you appreciate them by making sure some flowers are heading their way. And THEN, make sure these beautiful wines are heading their way too.
And when we say beautiful, we mean it! Not only is the wine beautiful inside, but on the outside, the exquisite labels on these lovely wines all feature flowers – the perfect Mother’s Day Collection!
In reds, be seduced by the sultry Altos de la Guardia Tempranillo Rioja 2023 from a top bodega, the lavish old-vine Southern French Le Malbec d’Hervé 2023 from the winemaker behind bestselling Cabalié, and the beautifully aromatic and elegant Purple Owl Pinot Noir 2021 from California. These are stunning! Plus enjoy 2 FREE UK Dartington Crystal Red Wine Glasses, worth $350.
