Collection includes:

1 x  Les Vignerons Carignan Syrah 2020 (France)

AWARDED 91/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023

"This is fruit forward and fragrant on the nose with dark plum, sweet cherry, floral and warm spice notes, leading to a beautifully supple palate that's silky and succulent, making it friendly and immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023

Alc: 12.5

1 x Maravedi Organic Tinto 2020 (Spain)

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2022

"It's beautifully fruited and aromatic on the nose showing dark plum, floral, clove and almond characters, leading to a succulent palate offering bright fruit flavours with fine texture and silky tannins. Elegantly flavoursome and lingering. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2022

This is an excellent example of Tempranillo-Syrah from old Spanish dry-farmed Organic vineyards. Deep purple with a ruby rim, displaying aromas of red fruit and blackberries with slight spicy notes of freshly ground pepper. Medium bodied and juicy on palate, yet with fine tannins and a refreshing finish. Organic.

Food Pairing: Excellent with pasta, BBQ, cheeses and Spanish tapas.

Alc: 13% - Seal: Screw Cap

1 x Rebelde Alentejano Tinto 2020 (Portugal)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Sakura Japan Women's Wine Awards 2022
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Concurso De Vinhos De Portugal 2022
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Prodexpo Wine Competition 2021
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Austrian Wine Challenge 2021

This is a red-fruited, juicy, easy-drinking red that will do surprisingly well in cellar over the next few years.  The generous aromas feature sweet red cherry, black plum and Asian five spice powder lead to a juicy fresh palate of raspberry, cherry and plum fruit plus more spice and a light floral accent.

Alc: 13.5 - Seal: Cork

1 x Ignacio Marín Montefeliz Tempranillo 2021 (Spain)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard International Wine Challenge 2023

If you're fond of silky reds with lots of easy berry character, then Montfeliz Tempranillo is a 'must have'. Like a young Rioja in style. Pure Tempranillo, the prized grape of Rioja, it is brimful with juicy plums, redcurrant and black cherries, made by the super talented Rivero family. Enjoy alongside tapas, garlic mushrooms, roasted vegetables with feta, or chicken. It's great as a glass on its own, too.

Alc: 13% - Seal: Screw Cap

1 x Tavernello Organic Terre Siciliane IGT Syrah/Nero D'Avola 2020 (Italy)

AWARDED 93/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"This is richly fruited and enticing with dark berry, cake spice, hazelnut, mocha and dried flower characters on the nose, followed by a generously flavoursome palate displaying plush texture and silky tannins. Soothing and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, The Wine Orbit

Alc: 13% - Seal: Screw Cap

1 x Cabra Cega Tinto 2019 (Portugal)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: China Wines & Spirits Awards 2019
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Best Value: China Wines & Spirits Awards 2021

Highly aromatic notes of ripe black and red fruits. In the mouth, it has a smooth fruity start with concentrated red fruit flavours perfectly balanced with oak notes and a nice acidity. The fresh, yet fine tannins take over at finish, where flavours of spice and liquorice dominate. A blend of Touriga Franca, Castelão, Syrah & Tinta Roriz – again, just think richly fruited, smooth as silk red.

Excellent selection of European wines at a reasonable cost have reordered

I was dissatisfied with 3 bottles which I would have paid €3 for when I was last in Europe. I made a mistake in the star choice should have been 2 stars
