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.

Low Stock Altos de la Guardia Crianza Rioja 2021

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.

Low Stock Altos de la Guardia Selección de Familia Rioja 2014

Altos de la Guardia Selección de Familia Rioja 2014

Item Code: 4375914

Description

This glorious Rioja was destined for Reserva quality, aged a year in barrel and then bottled. But upon tasting, winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua decided it could be tucked away a little longer.

It ended up being considerably longer than intended, but all's well that ends well, because 10 years later it's proved to be absolutely stunning – a silky, velvety luxury wine. A great choice with lamb.

Altos R Pigeage Graciano 2018

Item Code: 3711118

Description

15 Golds and 94 Suckling Points for the latest Altos Pigeage from Jean-Marc’s superb Rioja estate.



Our Haut-Brion-trained winemaker, Jean-Marc Sauboua, founded Altos in 2006 and, all together, has won over 180 Golds, Trophies, plus many high scores.

He works with the young Amaia Amestoy and Hector Gomez in the cellar, whose CVs includes experience at Napa’s Château Montelena, Contino and Murrieta in Rioja and Villacreces in Ribera del Duero.

They made this wine from old-vine (80+ years) Tempranillo and Graciano, vinifying it using Burgundy’s pigeage method.

This involves fermenting in open vats and plunging the skins into the liquid three times a day – hands-on winemaking that delivers great results.

Aged for two years in half new French oak and bottled unfiltered, the wine offers seams of intense black fruit with spice-box complexity.

Low Stock Andrew McPherson's The Full Fifteen Reserve Doreen's Shiraz 2022

Andrew McPherson's The Full Fifteen Reserve Doreen's Shiraz 2022

Item Code: 1946522

Description

Andrew McPherson takes The Full Fifteen to new heights with this super premium Reserve. It’s an oak-matured blend of old-vine Shiraz and Cabernet from Victoria, delivering power and elegance alongside trademark Full Fifteen.



The Full Fifteen has been one of our bestselling Aussie reds for years. Smooth juicy flavours, power and real drinkability have made it an all-time customer favourite. So we were thrilled when Andrew McPherson decided to craft a special Reserve edition. It’s been made in honour of Andrew’s mother Doreen, a woman who embodied Australia’s great pioneering spirit and whose devotion to family inspired everyone around her.

To call this Andrew’s special project red is an understatement. He seeks out premium parcels of old-vine Shiraz and Cabernet from acclaimed Victorian vineyards and treats the wine to long, luxurious ageing in finest oak barrels. The result is a berry-laden, richly concentrated, spicy red. Serve with prime steak or roast lamb.

Low Stock Big Bat Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Big Bat Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Item Code: 4133515

Description

Winemaker behind our Waxed Bat red, Opi Sadler has outshone himself with this terrific Cabernet release. Scoring 95 points from James Suckling it has seven years maturity, making it mellow, complex and brooding with dark, peppery fruit.



Opi Sadler has brought us the customer favourite ‘Waxed Bat’, now he presents the ‘Big Bat’. If you didn’t think a wine could get any richer, silkier and packed with luxurious layers of flavour, you were mistaken. But then, Opi is one of Argentina’s most internationally renowned winemakers and he adores the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

To achieve such an ageworthy perfection, he selected grapes from the finest, high-altitude vineyards in Altamira, Uco Valley, ageing this grand red for 18 months in French oak barrels. This lends a spicy edge to the rich black fruits. Opi states that Argentina makes "undoubtedly the best Cabernet wines in the world". A big statement, but judging by this wine, he may well be right. An elegant, mature steak red.

Low Stock Big Sky Te Muna Road Martinborough Pinot Noir 2019

Big Sky Te Muna Road Martinborough Pinot Noir 2019

Item Code: 3863219

Description

Martinborough's coastal cooled vineyards in New Zealand's North Island are perfect for Pinot Noir. Just taste this gloriously silky, elegant flagship red from a small family estate. Deep berry fruit, warm spice, savoury oak and silky tannins.



Martinborough may be less high profile than other Kiwi wine regions (it's only small) but the quality of its cool climate wines is second to none. It lies in the southern corner of North Island and is renowned for Pinot Noir. A government report in 1979 had highlighted that the conditions of the region were remarkably similar to Burgundy – free-draining gravel soils, with moderate temperatures and rainfall. Jeremy Corban and Katherine Jacobs founded their beautiful family estate in 2005, after a wine stint in France.

They chose a site in Martinborough's Te Muna valley and planted Pinot Noir. This is their gloriously fragrant, expressive flagship wine. Aged in new oak, it has a lovely balance of ripe fruit, spice and savouriness. Open early.

Bodegas Caro Aruma Malbec 2021

Item Code: 1458421

Description

Lovers of very fine Mendoza Malbec, get ready for a spectacular example brought to you by two prestigious (and famous) names ──

Château Lafite’s Barons de Rothschild in France and world renowned Nicolás Catena from Argentina – Bodegas Caro Aruma Malbec 2021.

Aruma brings together small batches of wine made from tiny parcels of premium Ucó Valley grapes – from Altamira, El Peral and San José – to create a fine, silky and complex blend. Hand-harvested, high grown, old-vine grapes provide outstanding quality, while the absence of any oak maturation ensures the wine shows great purity of fruit from Ucó terroir. Velvety smooth and deeply fruity with beautiful floral notes, this mouthfilling stunner is a delight from first sip to last.

James Suckling is impressed – he gives it a stellar 93pts. He also gave its 2020 vintage an impressive 92pts and commented: "Perfumed yet focused nose with lots of violets and deep but fresh blueberries. Very pure”.

Like most Argentine Malbecs (and indeed many fine French wines), it will match your finest cut of beef beautifully. Decant and pour into large glasses so that its full magnificent flavours can be suitably appreciated.
