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!
Lovers of fine Portuguese reds, get ready for this amazing offer. The one-case buy is already an exceptional deal. The two-case buy is a frankly AMAZING deal!
In true Portuguese style, this is a BIG, velvety, power-packed red with plenty of black cherry and deep spice. It has a great story too. During Prohibition in America, each household was allowed to make 200 gallons a year – around 1,008 bottles – for personal use.
Home winemaking became very popular, and grape growers started freighting boxes of grapes all over the country. They chose Alicante Bouschet (a Portuguese variety that was widely planted in California) because it survived the trip better than the more delicate varieties.
When winemaker Jaime Quendera discovered a vineyard with prime fruit from rare 100-year-old Alicante vines, he couldn’t wait to pay tribute to this Prohibition-style wine. And now we can’t wait to get it into your glass at this incredible price.

Lush summer berry fruit abounds in this delightfully crisp rosé crafted at Noël Bougrier’s Loire cellar. It’s a classic blend of Cabernet Franc and Gamay, producing a pink with enticing, juicy, strawberry flavour and exhilarating freshness.
Best known in Beaujolais, Gamay also excels in the Loire, lending juicy strawberry notes, while Cabernet Franc is more raspberry and leafy. After a gentle crushing, the juice was drawn off the skins to ensure a pale pink hue and cool fermented to retain lovely summer berry 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.
As well as having state-of-the-art facilities in both Maipó and Ucó, the family are committed to employing the many local families who have served the company from the beginning. 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. It’s tasty on its own and very versatile with food: from grilled meats, veggie kebabs, a squash bake or simple sausage and mash.
But our top insider secret? There's another 'M' out there making truly brilliant Sauvignon – Moldova.
Like Marlborough, Codru in Moldova has a long, slow ripening season.
It’s cold winds keep the grapes healthy and mean the vineyards can easily be grown organically.
Albastrele is made with handpicked grapes from the Tvarditsa Estate at an award-winning cellar well equipped for producing bright, modern whites.
Made from carefully selected handpicked grapes, winemaker Marian Haraba has crafted a truly impressive white wine.
Bursting with vibrant gooseberry and citrus aromas, Albastrele makes an elegant apéritif or a delicious match for grilled fish or smoked salmon.
