Bartolomeo Lorenzi Amarone 2020

Item Code: 3629120

Description

If you love bold, powerful reds that leave an impression, this dense, cherry-charged Amarone is for you. It’s made by specialist of this style, Cantina Negrar – Italy’s 2016 ‘Winery of the Year’. Rich, textured, with lots of spiced red fruits.



Wine Enthusiast calls Amarone “one of 15 icons in Italian wine”. They are certainly some of the country’s most treasured reds. Rooted in the ancient tradition of sun-drying grapes before fermentation, Amarone wines offer exceptional richness and a glorious combination of power and complexity that cellars well, too. No wonder they are sought after worldwide. This 2020 from esteemed Cantina Negrar pays tribute to 18th century poet Bartolomeo Lorenzi, whose epic poems celebrating rural life made Valpolicella wines famous.

The grapes are from the ancient, dry, stone terraces of the cool Marano Valley, where they ripen slowly. They are then air-dried for 120 days to intensify flavours. Decant early and enjoy with hearty dishes, or cellar.

Gold Star Red Wine 2018

Item Code: 4082418

Description

The Gold Star label from this winery is reserved for wines that really stand out for quality. That's very true of this rich, dark Merlot, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah blend, all from top Napa subregions. A velvety, spiced fruit Napa red to snap up.

This is a fabulous, rich, ripe, beautifully structured red from some of the top subregions of the Napa Valley. Stars that include Rutherford, St Helena and Oak Knoll. It's a small leftover parcel that was offered to our buyer at a really sharp price. She snapped it up on tasting it. We can't spill the beans on the source, but it really is the business, which you'll taste in every drop. Not only are the grapes – a luscious, mouthfilling blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah – from some of the Napa's smartest addresses, the 2018 vintage was "the finest of the past two decades." Critic Jeb Dunnuck concluded that "the wines are beautifully balanced and are going to age gracefully". A rich, long flavoured red. Decant for best results.

Low Stock Herdade Aldeia de Cima Reserva 2018

Herdade Aldeia de Cima Reserva 2018

Item Code: 4173918

Description

From Winemaker of the Year, Jorge Alvès, this is a very fine, elegant and expressive Alentejo red. All native grapes, sustainably grown, with a very light hand in the cellar, it is textured, complex and elegant with spiced black fruit and freshness.

You may know the name – Amorim – largest producers of cork in the world. This, however, is winemaking on a micro-scale, amongst the oak forests of Alentejo. The family have come together and restored a wine estate that was founded in 1758. They combine the very best modern thinking with the great traditions of the past – that means using clay-pot amphorae and terracotta tinajas, as well as barrels, for the winemaking. Above all, however, is a true respect for the area's ecosystem, with sustainability at its core, plus minimal intervention in the wine cellar. The vineyards for Almeia de Cima lie at the highest point (424 metres altitude) to ensure a freshness and balance to this fine wine, made from all-native Portuguese grapes. Open early.

Low Stock Way & Cat South Australia Red Blend 2020

Way & Cat South Australia Red Blend 2020

Item Code: 4149520

Description

For lovers of juicy ripe reds, this sun kissed Aussie wine is the cat’s pyjamas. Individually sourced parcels of grapes, fermented, then blended ensure an overflow of fruit forward flavour. Silky plum, raspberry and a sinuous smoky wrap.



This juicy, full of fruit Aussie red sums up the best of Aussie wine – gorgeous ripe fruit, good intensity and freshness. Great value too. Way & Cat is short for ‘wayfaring catador’, catador being Spanish for taster. So the name is a tribute to how the team source their fruit – they head out into the vineyards to taste the grapes of their grower friends. When they find the selections they like, they vinify each parcel separately, then blend the results into fruit first expressions of the varieties they chose.

That blend changes vintage by vintage, depending what performs well that year. It's top for versatility too – great as a glass on its own, tasty with roasted vegetable quiche, sausage and mash. And just the ticket at a barbecue.

Lobo e Falcão 2023

Item Code: 1948223

Description

Fans of smooth, mouthfilling wines take note – this is a sure contender for the Big Red crown, now with hundreds of 5-star reviews. A delicious blend of Portuguese grapes from a former royal falconry, it has lovely warmth, richness and spicy fruit.

Wine Spectator calls Portugal “the most exciting wine place on the planet”, with its terrific range of native grape varieties and wines that always offer standout value. The rich, mouthfilling Lobo e Falcão fits firmly in that category. It’s made at a 17th-century estate owned by the Lobo de Vasconcelos family, once the location of the king’s falconry. Special barrels of wine were kept for the king when he visited. Today, talented winemaker Joana Lopes makes this red specially for us, blending Syrah with Portugal’s exciting native grapes. Previously awarded a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy Award, the 2023 has lovely intensity of flavour and velvety smoothness. Generous berry fruit and spice – a very moreish red on its own, ideal for a barbecue.

Low Stock Château Capbern 2020

Château Capbern 2020

Item Code: 0296520

Description

From an excellent vintage, this is a powerful, cassis-rich, 95-point Saint-Estèphe, with potential.



Formerly known as Capbern Gasqueton, this Cru Bourgeois Saint-Estèphe estate has been in the same family for 10 generations. It's the same family that owns 3ème Cru Classé Calon Ségur. It lies in one of the finest parts of the appellation, between Phelan Ségur and Meyney, and every aspect is given Grand Cru care. Hand picking of the 41 hectares of vines, with ageing in top-quality oak, all adds up to the exceptional quality.

This vintage has gathered many top scores from wine critics such as Jeb Dunnuck and James Suckling, who called it "full-bodied with a deep character". Two thirds Cabernet with almost the same in new oak, it has “gorgeous cassis, violets, classy oak, with beautiful tannins” (Jeb Dunnuck). One to cellar for a few years.

Low Stock Château Labégorce 2020

Château Labégorce 2020

Item Code: 0988020

Description

Just a stone’s throw from Château Giscours, Labégorce makes appealing Margaux, with all the character of this sought-after commune. This 92-93 point 2020 punches well above its price and offers very good value indeed when compared to its neighbours.

There's been immense praise from critics for Bordeaux's 2020 vintage, "another great year for Bordeaux" wrote James Suckling; "Margaux is one of the success stories of 2020" put Neal Martin, while Jancis Robinson declared "stunning wines have been produced". Although yields were down, Margaux performed well and Château Labégorce is an excellent buy. Unlike many of its neighbours Labégorce wasn’t classified in 1855, meaning that the wines remain today very well priced. With vines on average 30 years old, some over 100, they yield grapes of tremendous concentration, the flavour of which is flattered by ageing for 15 months in half-new oak barrels. With rich, warm black fruits, espresso notes and firm rounded tannins, this is a keeper.
