Sauvignon Blanc

It is fresh, zesty, juicy and full. This fruit-driven new world style wine is what we all come to love and expect of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It is the reason why one of our winemakers – Bruce Abbott joined the industry. “A pure taste of NZ summer in a glass”, would be his way of describing it.

 

93 Points, Wine Spectator

Aromatic, with terrific precision to the herbal details of white pepper, grapefruit, lemongrass and fresh-grated ginger. Packs a core of mouthwatering Meyer lemon, ruby grapefruit and green apple flavors showing a thread of savory salinity, with an intense, fresh finish.

Winemaker Notes

A classic Valpolicella Ripasso. A powerful and elegant wine with aromas of roasted coffee and chocolate. Deft & silky, not over-extracted. Lovely Corvina edge of petals and almond nmd earthy leathery notes. Bright, intense garnet red. Aromas of ripe plum and sweet hints reminiscent of hazelnuts and Amarena cherries and black elderberry. On the palate it impresses with a fully harmonious, dense body paired with a round tannin structure. Intense cassis notes as well as licorice and truffle taste. Long-lasting, exciting finish with a lot of concentration of ripe berries.

A tangy and fresh Gavi full of sliced apples, lemon zest and stones. Medium-bodied and textured on the palate with fresh, vibrant acidity and a pure, pithy finish.

Monastrell

Made from 100% Monastrell in Alicante from old bush vines situated on calcareous, sandy and gravelly soils. Yields are consistently low. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel before a few months' ageing in the same tanks. 

 

91 Points, Decanter

A consistent favourite in the extensive Telmo Rodriguez portfolio, and one of the best-value wines in a country not short on bargains. This 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre) is intense, sinewy and dark but with a seam of brightness that makes it effortlessly drinkable.

Beautiful yellow-green color. Young and fruity wine which develops aromas of citrus fruit. The white wine “Je t’aime mais j’ai soif” can be served with seafood as well as with fresh water fish or sea fish. It will be perfect for aperitif.

“Je t’aime mais j’ai soif” is a Vin de France wine and is “dressed up” by the artist Mika. It has a beautiful golden colour. Its fruitiness is delicate. Our taste buds are satisfied with this tender moment of happiness and conviviality.

Zinfandel & others

 

One of our top selling wines. In fact, Jancis Robinson has noted that it's, "possibly California’s best-value wine of any colour."

A pleasantly bright and lively red wine, plump with blackberries and black cherries. Secondary notes of wild mint, dusty earth and even a hint of mocha provide an alluring, grounded experience in the glass. Comforting and irresistibly familiar, this is one of the original and best known red blends produced in California. A ‘drink now, enjoy often’ wine that can easily be taken more seriously if the moment happens to demand.

Many believe the best Pinotage in the world comes from the Breedekloof Valley. It is certainly one of the most awarded varieties from this area. We love the fresh, intense cherry and dark chocolate aromas. The juicy soft palate is framed by warming vanilla and touch of oak.

The wine is fresh on the nose with hints of white flowers and white peach. On the palate, it's fresh with an excellent balance of acidity and some sweetness. It is rich with floral and creamy pastry undertones. Long and persistent finish. 

 

The handpicked and mechanically harvested grapes come from their vineyard site called “Can Bas” with an average age of vines of 15 years. Grapes are picked from mid-August until the end of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a very low temperature between 12 -14 ºC for several days. The coupage wine obtained undergoes 2nd fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional “Méthode Champenoise”. We employ a strain of yeast which increases mannoprotein content in the cava in order to achieve velvety and creamy mouth feel.

This is light, crisp and steely with a cascade of citrus notes flooding in. Lemon, lime, Fiji pear and apple bounce around together. There is a creamy mouthfeel with a hint of banana which makes this a great midweek refresher.

Laurent Miquel produces elegant wines in his family vineyards high in the Languedoc hills of Southern France. He harvests at night when temperatures are cooler to ensure the delicate grapes are gathered under perfect conditions. Laurent represents a new generation of winemakers combining his ancestors’ wisdom with his innovative approach and an inflexible focus on quality. Working in harmony with nature, he creates wines of character which reflect the Languedoc’s inimitable style.

 

90 Points, Decanter

It’s hard to pick just one of the many excellent Viogniers that Laurent Miquel produces around this price point, but for the money this is hard to beat, with its voluptuous white peach and nectarine fruit (harvested at night, as the name of the wine suggests). Enjoy it young and fresh.(previous vintage)
