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.

Lovers of fine Spanish wine, this prestige Rioja treasure from the great Jean-Marc Sauboua’s Trophy-winning Altos estate is an absolute must-have for luxury drinking.

But at this price and with such limited quantities, you must hurry to secure your case!
Jean-Marc was raised in Bordeaux and trained at First Growth Haut-Brion. But Jean-Marc also has Spanish heritage, and when he decided to start a project of his own, Rioja was the place he wanted to be. And only the very highest parts of the appellation – his vineyards are the highest in the region. Right from the start Jean-Marc’s aim was to make a Grand Cru style of Rioja, prestige wines full of fruit with balanced oak, and he has absolutely succeeded. His overflowing medal cabinet is testament to that!
His Altos De La Guardia Cuvée Especial Rioja 2014 is an exciting special release that only a very few people will be able to try. It’s a delicious blend of old-vine Tempranillo cuvées, aged luxuriously for two years in barrel, and then another 9 years in bottle until Jean-Marc declared it ready to drink. (Spain is famed for its extraordinary wines that can age for decades). His patience has been rewarded with the most exquisitely lavish Rioja, silky with velvety plum and raspberry fruit with a kiss of toasty vanilla oak and cedary spice complexity.
Decant, then serve it with your finest roast meats, or an extravagant tapas feast. Or just open a bottle when you feel like some true luxury – at an almost unbelievable price.

As Jancis Robinson MW says, “some truly magnificent wines are now emerging from Chile”. The country is indeed producing exciting and character-filled wines, the quality exceptional, the price still incredibly low.
Chile's beautiful Elqui Valley boasts some of the world’s highest vineyards, as well as clear skies, ultra-bright sunshine, and pure snowmelt from the Andes providing plentiful water.
As the World Atlas of Wine says, it produces “some particularly gutsy Syrah at altitudes of over 2,000 metres”. The Carménère, like this powerfully rich example, is equally robust.
It comes from Viña Falernia, built in the valley in the late 1990s by Italian Giorgio Flessati. He recognised the quality conditions from the beginning, and indeed, the winery won a Trophy in its very first vintage.
It’s still impressing the show judges today, the Antakari Carménère Reserva 2023 picking up Gold from the Gilbert & Gaillard Competition:
“Intense garnet red colour. The nose is expressive and intriguing for its aromatic variety … eucalyptus, mint and blackberries. A firm structure … Spicy aromas” (Gilbert & Gaillard Competition)
It’s a really delicious red, the kind that will match any grilled or barbecued meats beautifully – sizzling beef and lamb, of course, but also duck and pork. The ripe berry, delicious spice and gently smoky notes are a winning partner.
This plump, juicy-fruit Merlot is made by Trophy-winning winemaker Nicolas Bizzarri. He heads the cellar team at the family-owned Luis Felipe Edwards estate, four-time winner of ‘Chilean Winery of the Year’. The Don Cayetano Merlot is full of fruit and silky smooth – a luscious velvety mouthful you will adore.

Lovers of fine Italian whites don’t miss this dazzling star from the third-generation Antonio Federici family estate near Rome.
Bursting with white peach and orange blossom notes on a mouth-watering citrus-crisp finish, it’s the ultimate in refreshment.
And guess what? The prestigious Luca Maroni Wine Guide has rated it 99 points out of a possible 99. Yes, that’s a perfect score!
It’s made from Malvasia Puntinata, and if you haven’t heard of this delicious grape, we’re not surprised. It’s a native grape of Lazio, near Rome, so you may have tasted it in that beautiful, chaotic city if you’ve visited, but limited quantities mean not much of it leaves Italy. Actually, not much of it leaves Rome! The Romans know what’s good and this wine usually goes to the top restaurants. We were lucky enough to get some of the red during that infamous period in 2020 when restaurants were closed, and our good connections mean we’ve remained on the list to get the white as well.
And we are so glad we did because this is SO delicious! It’s beautifully aromatic and elegant, with wonderful apricot, orange blossom, and herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied, it has a lipsmacking freshness, with gorgeous minerality and a crisp, citrus finish. It’s the perfect seafood partner – though you can easily just sip on it solo too.
We love it. Luca Maroni loves it. (As that 99/99 score shows!) And we think you will love it too!
