le charme

SAUVIGNON BLANC

A shimmering green tinged colour, with an aromatic and fresh bouquet. On the palate there are flavours of citrus fruit combined with blackcurrant leaf aromas and a great roundness.

We share the production of our Le Charme range between two winemakers who are specialists in their own region. Whilst this may be a little more difficult in terms of logistics, it is also a demonstration of how our own wines are not just bought off the shelf, but very much crafted to suit our own exacting standards. Christine Cabri has produced our Le Charme Sauvignon since 2008 and it continues to be one of our most popular wines. Winemaking was in her blood. Remembering her earliest emotion linked to wine she says; “Aged 5 years old, on the family vineyard I would taste the grape juice as it came out of the press – it was completely delicious!” The Le Charme Chardonnay, Merlot and Shiraz are produced in the Languedoc by Philippe Lebrun, one of the Languedoc’s crop of dynamic, flexible and forward thinking winemakers, who have responded to the onslaught of wine from the New World with relish.

CHARDONNAY

A bright pale gold in the glass, the nose is soft and full of ripe fruit aromas like melon and pear. The palate is fruity and soft with a good roundness.

MERLOT

A ruby red appearance, with lovely cassis and raspberry flavours and slightly spicy hints. A lot of fruit flavours on the palate with a hint of black pepper at the finish.

SHIRAZ

Bright cherry red in the glass with aromas of currants and blackberry and hints of violet and licorice. Dense, soft and fruity palate with silky tannins on the finish.

Marilyn Lasserre is a genuine pioneer. Since she arrived back to France in 2008, she has significantly contributed to the renewed success of Languedoc’s wines. Bringing her feminine touch to traditionally strong, rustic and full-bodied wines, Marilyn succeeded in improving quality and taste with a rigorous selection in the vineyards and perfect control of the winemaking process. Marilyn studied Viticulture and Oenology in Bordeaux, and has spent time working in various regions throughout the world. Les Argelières is a tribute to the “Terroir” from which we source these wines, a terroir mostly made of pebble and limestone perfectly exposed to the sun. It enhances the fruit aromas as well as the mineral style of the white wines, whilst giving the reds a vibrant fruit character.

VIOGNIER

Bright yellow with green hues, apricot and mango aromas mixed with a whiff of rose petals and almonds. A juicy palate with herbal hints and a lingering finish.

CHARDONNAY

Shimmering gold in the glass, aromas of ripe apples and dainty hints of vanilla and nuts with a buttery note. Dense and velvety on the palate but ever so fresh with a long finish.

CABERNET FRANC

Dark purplely red in the glass, there are blackcurrant and green pepper aromas, typical of the Cabernet Franc variety. Smooth, fruity and medium bodied on the palate with a spicy finish.

PINOT NOIR

Glossy garnet red in the glass. On the nose there are aromas of raspberry and cherry with subtle smoky and peppery hints, Fruity, elegant and well-balanced on the palate with a silky long finish.

les Argelières


Alain Grignon has been involved in the production of Languedoc wine for nearly thirty years. Most of the grapes for his red wines come from vineyards near Minervois in the North-East of the Languedoc, whilst the whites are produced in the cooler climate of the Gers. Alain combines the “terroir” of the Languedoc and the Gers regions, with the winemaking style of the Southern Hemisphere. Remaining faithful to the individual characteristics of each varietal he has given wines from Southern France a flavour of the New World.

SHIRAZ

Marvellous deep red colour. Ripe black fruit perfume bursts out on the nose. A fabulous wine with a massive amount of class and concentration.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Deep ruby red, expressive ripe cassis with smoky and peppery hints. Rich and spicy on the palate with pleasant tannins and some coffee at the finish.

SAUVIGNON BLANC

Characteristic Sauvignon with its aromas of gooseberry and sweet pepper. A pleasant structure with a smooth and spicy finish. Serve chilled with salads, marinated vegetables, curries, seafood.

Mastering the nuances of Southern French varietals and combining traditional and modern winemaking techniques, Xavier Roger produces wines to our own specification. They are superb examples of the very high quality that is now being produced in the South of France. Using the best parcels in the area, the quality of this range is truly outstanding and also demonstrates the great diversity that the Languedoc offers.

MVMARSANNE VIOGNIER

Thin soils, low yields and attention to detail by our ‘Guru’ winemaker, Xavier Roger, give this ripe, soft and balanced dry white an exotic and immensely pleasurable character. It offers sun ripened fruit flavours such as apricots, dessert apples and citrus, with a wonderful streak of balancing acidity.

ABALICANTE BOUSCHET

Alicante Bouschet is an obscure red grape with red juice, a rarity in the world of grapes. Grown sparingly in the southern French vineyards around Carcassone, its richness and velvet-like concentration has been intensified by the thin soils, and dry climate

OVCOLD VINES CARIGNAN

Xavier Roger, has wrestled a meagre quantity of super-ripe grapes from a desolate hillside patch of 85 year old bush vine Carignan, grown on thin limestone soils around the town of Carcassone. This is a stunning ripe and soft red, with soft black forest fruits and a smattering of Parma Violets.

MMALBEC

Intensely pleasurable and soft Malbec, with richness of fruit, soft red currant and coffee aromas offered in equal amounts. The combination of thinner soils, attention to detail and the dry climate of southern France has given a ripe and warm red with a lick of red-fruit jam and spice.

The Richelieu dry white is produced in the Côtes de Gascogne, and as from the 2015 vintage became a single varietal Colombard. The Richelieu GCM is produced from a blend of Grenache and Cinsault. The proportions of each varietal changes every vintage depending on which one performs the best. Once we have reached our preferred proportions, we then add up to 20% Merlot to add a plummy richness to the final wine.

COLOMBARD

Refreshing aromas of lime and lychee with a subtle hint of white pepper. Juicy, rich and well balanced on the palate with a vivid finish.

domaine pierre cros

Domaine Pierre Cros is based in Badens, situated in the Minervois, surroundered by the Canal du Midi to the South and the Montagne Noire to the North. It is here in the intense heat of the southern sun that little else grows except vines and olive trees. And it is here that Pierre Cros, an ex Rugby player, cultivates his 20 hectares of vines including the classic Southern French varieties of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. However, he is something of a maverick and a thorn in the side of the AOC authorities, as most unusually, he grows the non-permitted grape varieties of Nebbiolo (Italy), Touriga Nacional (Portugal) and Pinot Noir (Burgundy). Low yield and vines dating from 1905 contribute to the production of some extremely fascinating and popular wines which are deep and structured and very enjoyable.

LA LIBERTÉ TOURIGA NACIONAL

Dark ruby red. Highly complex with flavours and aromas of spice, coffee, fruit, laurel and thyme.Hearty, rustic and full flavoured. A great accompaniment with curry or other Asian dishes.

100% Touriga Nacional

LES MAL AIMÉS

Dark ruby red. This is an original wine with aromas of red fruit, garrigue, spices and hints of smoke. It is pleasantly silky and fresh on the palate. A brilliant accompaniment to fatty fish dishes made with spicy, red wine sauces.

A blend of Aramon, Alicante, Piquepoul, Carignan

LA LIBERTÉ NEBBIOLO

Dark ruby red. A delicious wine, smooth with aromas of sour cherry, strawberry jam, dried apricots and smoke. The wine surprises with its aromatic freshness and elegant tannins... Italian elegance combines with French “Je ne sais quoi”! A delicious accompaniment to red meat and cheese.

domaine sylvain bailly

Dynamic Jacques Bailly, heir to a winemaking tradition dating back to the 1700s, and wife Marie-Hélène, cultivate an array of coveted vineyards around Bué in the heart of the eastern Loire appellation of Sancerre. In 2007 they were joined by their daughter Sonia, ensuring the continuity of this superb domaine. The style is fresh and grapey with a steely edge and a fine minerality. The cross of Saint Ursin, erected in 1877, is situated on the property and lends its name to the domaine's full title.

domaine jean thomas

Crisp, steely and fresh with notes of mown grass, herbs mineral and citrus. Situated in the village of Bué this family estate comprises around 60 acres spread across the appellations of Quincy and Sancerre.

Full of fresh herbs, citrus fruit and a delicious ripe qualilty. Crisp and refined Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire village of Quincy, a few short miles from Sancerre.



SANCERRE TERROIRS QUINCY BEAUCHARME

Crisp, streely and fresh with distinct grassy notes that are the character of prime Sancerre. This wine has a little more depth and character in the mid-palate and a delicious acidity that keeps the wine fresh and interesting to the bottom of the bottle!


SANCERRE


domaine laurent combier

The Combier family first moved from the Ardèche to the Rhône in 1936 when Camille Combier bought three hectares of vines in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, and sold his wine to the Tain l'Hermitage co-operative. The domaine is now run by Laurent Combier, a very practical, open minded winemaker, who produces a lush, exuberant and rich style of wine. He believes that in order to make a great wine, he must allow nature to dictate his work in the vineyards, and bases his decisions on the soils, the living organisms and the lunar calendar. His 13 hectares of vineyards, situated on the ‘Les Chassis’ plateau are farmed organically. The modern winery, built in 1990, is situated between Tain l’Hermitage and Pont de l’Isère. If you love pure, unadulterated, concentrated Syrah, look no further!

domaine etienne pochon

Aged for 12 months in oak casks, of which 40% are new. The wine is bottled without filtration. A lovely rich, smooth palate full of red berry fruit and overtones of wood smoke. Produced from a 9.5 hectare Clos (walled vineyard) this is Laurent Combier’s top cuvée.

This is aged both in stainless steel tanks and small barrels before final blending. A deep bouquet with stunning blackberry aromas. Concentrated cassis, rich and juicy with a lovely textured palate.

This is a typical Crozes Hermitage made by a passionate winegrower. Etienne makes wine with lots of character, fruit and charm. White pepper & liquorice on the nose. Deep red fruits, blackcurrant with velvety tannins, nice round with a long & fresh finish.

Not easy to find good Crozes Hermitage white but this is a perfect example of a well-made Northern Rhône white wine. It has freshness, complexity and well balanced acidity.

domaines brunier

The Brunier family have developed a wonderful portfolio of magnificent domaines including Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe one of the great estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Domaine has about 45 hectares of vines planted, with an average age of around 55 years. Blessed with one of the finest locations in the area, the particularly hot microclimate is such that the Brunier Family, owners of this domaine for almost a century, are able to harvest as much as a week ahead of their neighbours. When the Brunier family purchased the domaine back in 1998 this great property had fallen on hard times. Years of painstaking work in the vineyards followed. Terraces were built and reinforced, allowing for better water retention. A new winery was built to receive the harvested parcels individually in gravity-fed tanks. Finally as the Bruniers began to fully understand the vineyards at Pallières the many lieux-dits, once blended into one cuvée of Gigondas, were separated into two, starting with the 2007 vintage.

MÉGAPHONE

A bright style, with impressive black cherry, black raspberry, spice, pomegranate and floral notes. Backed by light anise and violet hints. Shows a racy edge through the finish.

80% Grenache 20% Syrah

domaine de la citadelle

Domaine de la Citadelle is one of the Southern Rhône's newest stars, having been founded as recently as 1990. It started life as a nondescript albeit beautiful farm that was purchased by the entrepreneur Yves Rousset-Rouard, after he was captivated by the outstanding scenery and landscapes of the region and its untapped potential. Originally a mere 8 hectare farm, today the 39 hectares surround the pretty village of Menèrbes, on the north-facing side of the majestic Luberon mountains. Motivated by a constant search for higher quality, the viticulture is moving towards a totally organic approach, after 20 years of managing the vines without chemical inputs. Rousset-Rouard realised, however, that technology would also need to play its part and to that end invested in a state-of-the-art winery, built into the sides of the hill. It is one of the region's most innovative and striking cellars.

LES ARTÈMES

Lifted aromas of summer berries, pepper and blackberry jam, on the palate. It is vibrant and fruity, full and well structured with flavours of cassis and warming spice. This is a true reflection of the terroir of the Luberon region.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON

On the nose there are mature dark fruits, exotic spice, leather and earthy, leafy notes. The palate is rich in flavour, and has mellowed with bottle age - full and rewarding with good structure and soft tannins. Could easily be mistaken for a top quality Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

VIOGNIER

Bright gold in the glass, the aromas open with peach, nectarine and soft spice, typical of the Viognier variety. A rich fruity palate with more stone-fruits, and a touch of lime peel, there is a zip of acidity which balances beautifully with the weight of the fruit.

domaine testut

We have worked closely with Cyril Testut for many years now. Quiet, considered and deeply passionate about his 13ha domaine, he is the proprietor of one of the real jewels of the Chablis region that sits in the top echelons of the Chablis hierarchy. His Chablis vineyards are perfectly situated - squeezed between the Grand Cru of Blanchot and the 1er Cru of Montée de Tonnerre. It is arguably the finest Chablis AC vineyard in the region. The small parcel of the famous Grand Cru Grenouilles returned to the Testut family only a few years ago. Back in 1970’s the vineyards were leased, due to internal family squabbles, and were held by William Fèvre for 30 years. It is now back in the hands of one of Chablis’ finest domaines.

CHABLIS TESTUT

A complex wine with excellent mineral structure allowing it to retain its typical dry mineral and white fruit aromas for a number of years.

CHABLIS 1ER CRU MONTÉE DE TONNERRE

A smoky, elegant and beautifully layered nose exhibits white flower, citrus, pear and a top note of mineral reduction. The tension-filled medium-bodied flavours are at once sleekly, powerful and refined before leading into in a textured, intense and impressively persistent finish.

CHABLIS GRAND CRU “GRENOUILLE”

A relatively discreet touch of wood frames a ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic nose of mostly dried yellow fruit. There is a seductive, even succulent mouth feel to the caressing medium weight flavours, exuding a fine bead of minerality on the attractively intense, balanced and lingering finish.

domaine daniel dampt

Produced from two parcels - one 13 year old vines and the other 58 year old vines. A soft and easy style full of ripe, quenching tropical fruits, balanced with a firm but not overpowering acidity. If you like a fruity style of Chablis, this is the one.

This vineyard, set on a stony clay subsoil, has a great aspect and the fruit normally shows a great degree of ripeness and generosity. This wine is bursting with ripe apple aromas. The palate is intense, rich and loaded with pineapple and tropical fruits with an appealing minerality on the finish.100% Chardonnay

domaine marronniers

Laurent and Marie-Noëlle Ternynck acquired this lovely domaine from Bernard Legland in 2013. They have invested well and strive for perfection each vintage by expressing the traditional soils of Chablis. The only change in winemaking is the move to using wild yeasts during the fermentation process, thereby elevating the terroir character of Chablis in the wine. This is a super little domaine that produces wines of great typicity.

CHABLIS CHABLIS 1ER CRUCÔTE DE LÊCHET

Produced from 10 different parcels from vines of between 25-30 years old. A classic, tightly knit wine with a steely backbone and overtones of apple and herb. Brilliantly racy on the finish.

Tight, taut and closed for the time being on the bouquet. The palate is more open, revealing a luscious, ripe fruit and super equilibrium.

domaine christian Sérafin

Domaine Sérafin Père & Fils is run by second-generation vigneron Christian Sérafin. Christian is now in his later years and his niece, Frédérique Bachotet, who has been working alongside her uncle for ten years now, is now very much the winemaking driving force. The house and cellars are situated just below the premier cru vineyard Les Cazetiers, at the top of the wine-growing village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy’s legendary Côte d’Or region. The domaine encompasses 5.3 hectares of vines in the communes Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St.-Denis, and Chambolle-Musigny, including plots in numerous well-placed premier cru vineyards. The viticulture is completely organic. These wines are hand crafted, with old vines and low yields central to his winemaking philosophy.

BOURGOGNE ROUGE

Vinified in 100% new oak -“A little Gevrey”. Fresh and pretty – a very good introduction to this top domaine. The palate is tight and intense with good grip and expressive Pinot Noir characteristics.

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN

Fermented in 100% new oak and aged for 18 months. Finely constructed, hedgerow fruits showing very well, supported by fine elegant tannins and a well defined structure.

CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY 1ER CRU LES BAUDES

This appellation is presented as the most feminine of the Côte de Nuits. A wine representative of its appellation, it is highly aromatic with small red fruits (strawberry, cherry, raspberry). Its delicateness of body does not prevent it maintaining a solid and durable structure. Its tannins remain soft and suave.

domaine machard de gramont

This 20 hectare family estate is managed by Arnaud Machard de Gramont and his two sons Alban and Alexis. The cellars are located in Prissey, a neighboring hamlet of Nuits-St-Georges. These cellars were built in the XIXth century. Their superb vaults give a "cathedral" effect to the winery. The 20 hectares of vineyards cover an impressive range of appellations spanning 50 kilometres, from Chenôve (south of Dijon) to Puligny-Montrachet of Beaune. This domaine is a great source of Burgundy at sensible prices. “Value for money” is not something that is often associated with the wines of the Côte d’Or, however, we have dealt with this family domaine for many years for our commercial Burgundy needs – it offers more individuality than most négociants and consistently performs well.

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET ‘LES HOUILLÈRES’

Character: Produced from a 2/3 ha plot purchased a number of years ago from Louis Chavy. Zingy, ripe and vibrant, rich and creamy on the palate with pineapple and grapefruit blending superbly.

CHOREY-LES-BEAUNE ‘BEAUMONTS’

Character: Produced from vineyards to the west of the village of Chorey, this wine is aged in older barrels, with an emphasis on the cherry fruits that this super little appellation is renowned for.

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN ‘PRESSONNIER’

Character: Produced from their small 0.3 ha plot. Aged in 20% French mountain oak, the finer grain enhancing the soft tannins. A big, ripe cassis filled palate. Such intensity of black fruits! An excellent wine that epitomizes the terroir of the Gevrey appellation.

Domaine Guy Amiot’s work springs from a long tradition begun in the 1920's under the direction of founder Arsène Amiot. Arsène started acquiring parcels in Chassagne in the 1920's and under his direction Domaine Amiot became one of the first domaines in Burgundy to bottle their own wines. By the time Guy Amiot took over in 1985, the domaine had built up very impressive holdings and had passed the knowledge of how to best care for the vines down from generation to generation. Their work in the vineyards is exemplary and has led to a solid consistency in the wines. Guy’s sons Thierry and Fabrice are now running the domaine and are taking it to the very top level. The wines of this domaine age particularly well, largely due to the serious acidity and minerality that so epitomise them when tasting from barrel.

CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET VIEILLES VIGNES

There is plenty of weight to this wine which displays the attractive flesh of the year with a little lemony acidity. All is in balance; this is an attractive, harmonious Chassagne.

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU LES DEMOISELLES

This vineyard is situated next to Chevalier Montrachet and is planted with 40 year old vines and benefits from 50% new oak for 12 months followed by 6 months in cuve. Only 4 barrels are produced of this wine. This is an impressive wine offering both elegance and power. A tight steely backbone with gunflint minerality.

LE MONTRACHET GRAND CRU

A meagre production of only 2 barrels! Aged in 100% new oak for 12 months followed by 6 months in cuve. An impressive beast of a wine. Intensely aromatic with pineapple and grapefruit characters, enormous steel structure, tight and unyielding with fine citrus acidity giving beautiful balance to a very impressive richness.

domaine hubert lamy

Created back in 1973 by Hubert Hubert Lamy, this domaine has been run by his son, Olivier, since 1996 following his training at Domaine Meo Camuzet. He immediately introduced the changes that have ultimately elevated this domaine into the higher echelons of Burgundian winemaking. He ceased selling grapes to négociants and sold off peripheral vineyards to concentrate on the oldest and best sites. High density planting was introduced to glean as much expression of terroir as possible and selection tables were introduced into the cuverie to ensure that only the finest grapes are used. His more recent move to reduce the amount of new oak and the introduction of demi-muids (300-600lt barrels) has also helped to improve the wines at this domaine and resulted in a greater propensity to age. Olivier adapts his winemaking to the vintage.

ST AUBIN 1ER CRU 'CLOS DU MEIX'

The wine is a lemon gold colour, full of sprightly lemon, orange and apricot flavours, shaped by some lively acidity and a tiny touch of nutty oak amidst the fruit.

ST AUBIN 1ER CRU 'EN REMILLY'

This big and powerful wine is founded on a tightly knit structure, rich, deep honey fruits with nut overtones and a stunning citrus balance. "The St. Aubin En Remilly is wonderfully complete. Beams of vibrant minerality and acidity provide support for layers of open, resonant fruit. The En Remilly is utterly vivid and kaleidoscopic in the glass, with superb nuance and transparency.

BOURGOGNE BLANC 'LES CHATAIGNERS'

A full and rounded wine with a good nerve of acidity. The palate offers a hint of minerality, a little spice, and soft finish. Produced from a vineyard that lies on the upper slopes as the hill bends around toward Meursault and away from St Aubin itself. This wine is matured in used 600 ltr oak barrels (2/3 1 year and 1/3 2 year) to lessen the effects of new oak and to preserve the sense of minerality.

SAINT AUBIN LA PRINCEE

A tropical melon fruit bouquet. This wine is intense and taut, the September sun helped produce ripe nectarine fruit flavours which are balanced by a seamless minerality.

This 26 ha domaine is situated right in the heart of the village of Fuissé in the Saône-et-Loire department (7 kms from Mâcon). Domaine Roger Luquet has been in the hands of the same family for five generations. There is no oak ageing at all in the winemaking process whatsoever, which enables Patrick Luquet, the current generation running this domaine, to produce wines that express both fruit and terroir with no interfering dimensions.

Fermented in stainless steel tanks, Patrick Luquet splendidly preserves the characteristics of both grape and terroir. An immediate and quenching wine showing fine mineral flavours and a ripe, clean finish.

This vineyard was initially planted back in 1927 by the Great Grandfather of the current generation, Maurice Luquet. This wine shows a great combination of depth and richness with a super minerality.

maison sichel

We have worked with the Sichel family for decades as one of our principal suppliers of everyday drinking clarets as well as Cru Bourgeois and Classed Growth Clarets. As I write, the 5th generation of House of Townend is currently working in the Commercial Department of Sichel in Bordeaux, a further example of the close ties that exist between ourselves and this esteemed Bordeaux négociant. From our everyday drinking Château Moulin de Mallet and Château d’Argadens, through to the famous Château Angludet and Château Palmer, Sichel is a superb source of great Claret.

CHÂTEAU ANGLUDET

A perfect balance between fruit, structure and tannins. Beautifully dark, almost opaque with a stunning ripe and intense bouquet. Sweet, ripe cassis and liquorice with a sturdy ripe tannin blanket, balanced by and impressive freshness. A lovely brooding finish - another outstanding wine produced by this high quality Château.

CHÂTEAU D'ARGADENS

Clad in a beautiful hue of garnet, this wine has a rich, open bouquet that reveals intense aromas of ripe, concentrated black-berried fruit and elegant oak. The same impression of generous fruit is found on the powerful, rich and chewy palate, which is structured by taut, dense tannins and lingers to a long, ample and spicy finish.

CHÂTEAU TRILLOL

Expressive aromas of ripe cherry, redcurrant, blackcurrant and a hint of oak. The palate opens softly, with notes of cherry and red fruits. Discreet well- structured tannins support the fruit and the finish is delightfully long.

champagne gardet

BRUT TRADITION NV

Perfect as a simple aperitif, or with canapés that have depth of flavour and spice.

Gardet was established in 1895 by Charles Gardet in Chigny-Les-Roses, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. It was sold to the Prieux family in 2007. The Prieuxs have invested in the business, but wisely retained the features of the style of wine made over the years, only slightly refining it to be a little more forward-drinking with more fruit freshness and balance. The house owns around 7 ha of premier cru vineyards around their home villages of Chigny-Les-Roses, Luds and Rilly la Montage. The long tirage time and the use of a high proportion of reserve wine has marked the house style, and in fact is a distinguishing feature of Champagne Gardet.

BRUT RESERVE NV

Warm notes of ripe yellow fruits; fresh and persistent finish wIth a delicate complexity.

BRUT PREMIER CRU NV

Rich and ripe with notes of toast and brioche.

BRUT SELECT RESERVE NV

rioja vega

Initially started as the dream of Don Felipe Ugalde in 1882, this winery has seen ongoing growth and development over the years. Don Felipe’s aim was simple, to be one of the country’s most prestigious Bodegas. His winery passed down the family line, and it was through marriage that it became united with Bodegas Muerza. In 2001 a new winery, 10km outside Logroño, complete with an underground ageing cellar was built. The new cellars incorporate modern equipment such as self-weighing hoppers, pneumatic presses and self-emptying stainless steel vats. Winemaker Esperanza Elias provides a feminine touch to the winemaking style as well as producing a fascinating range of small batch wines including 9 Barricas, Tempranillo Blanco and GG (Garnacha Y Graciano).

Irvine Wines’ foundations were laid with the first shiraz plantings by the Miles Family in 1867. The family owned vineyards are carefully nurtured by fourth generation vigneron Peter Miles and his highly experienced team following the purchase of this great estate from Jim Irvine in 2015. The 400 acres of Eden Valley and Barossa Valley vineyards are under Peter Miles’ expert care. Irvine Wines are one of the largest privately-owned premium grape growers in the Barossa. Four generations of Miles’ family expertise ensures the fruit is of the highest quality and harvested with precise timing. The Irvine Estate is in safe hands.

pitchfork

Pitchfork is produced exclusively for us by the Harvey family at their Chalk Hill estate in the McLaren Vale. Their winemaking philosophy is very much based around small batch, hand crafted wines of distinction. The family’s grape growing heritage goes back six generations and now incorporates six vineyards in the McLaren Vale region.

The terrain at Chalk Hill is intricate and varied. Located at the convergence of a number of naturally defined winegrowing regions, the estate features a range of microclimates, soils and exposures that require well-reasoned, site-specific farming protocols. It’s this unusual complexity of terroir that allows them to create wines that are intense, balanced and distinctive.

On the nose there are clean aromas of melon, peach and nectarine. The palate is fruity, clean and medium bodied with good freshness. Part of the new wave of clean, fresh Australian Chardonnay. If you think it's a grape variety you don't like, try this - you might be converted!

On the nose there are aromas of plum, mulberry and black raspberry which follow through onto a lush palate with fine savoury tannins.

Turi takes its name from the Pukará de Turi, Chile’s most important fortress of the Atakama Culture (10th Century) in the north of the country. The grapes for Turi are produced in vineyards located on the Coastal Mountain Range, 14km from the shores of the Pacific Ocean, 25km south of Casablanca and 95km west of Santiago.

AVONDALE

The picturesque 160-hectare farm that is today known as Avondale has been under cultivation for more than 300 years. Early records show that the land was one of the first in the Paarl Valley to be allocated specifically for the production of wine grapes. Avondale is now home to the Grieve Family and 25 farm worker families. Johnathan Grieve has developed a holistic approach to wine farming known as Biologic, which combines biodynamic and organic principles with modern science, and constantly asking the question; “Would Mother Nature approve?” “Terre Est Vita” is his ethos, which means ‘soil is life’. Simple methods are used, such as using a posse of ducks to eat the snails that target the vines – AKA Snail Assassins! Wasps are released to prey on the mealy bug. Chemicals and fertilizers are shunned and cover crops are grown to restore the nitrogen levels in the soil. Quirky? Yes – Great wines? Undoubtedly!
