1 x Belles Vignes Collection GSM 2016 (France)
AWARDED 91/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2018
"The wine offers perfumed aromas of Black Doris plum, blueberry compote, vanilla, hazelnut and floral on the nose, leading to a wonderfully fruited and rounded palate that is juicy and mouth-filling. A lovely modern style offering excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2018
A classic Southern French blend of Grenache, Syrah and the little known Marselan. Generously flavoured and sturdy, this is filled with dark fruit, game and spice characters, beautifully enhanced by fruit richness and smooth mouthfeel.
Food Pairing: The wine is well structured by pleasingly dry tannins, making it a wonderful partner to winter slow-cooked dishes.
1 x Lisbonita Lisboa Tinto 2017 (Portugal)
Awarded Gold Medal: Best Value: China Wine & Spirits Awards 2019
Awarded Gold Medal: Berliner Wein Trophy 2019
Awarded Gold Medal: Citadelles du Vin 2019
This irresistibly juicy red comes from Lisbon’s renowned Casa Santos Lima and Portugal’s ‘Best Young Winemaker 2016’, Diogo Sepúlveda. Having also worked in Pomerol and in the Barossa with heirloom Shiraz vines, his credentials for making this rich, old vine Portuguese red are second to none. Fans of smooth, mouthfilling wines take note – a delicious blend of Portuguese grapes (Castelão , Tinta Roriz , Syrah , Touriga Franca) with ripe plum and blackcurrant aromas. In the mouth it shows ripe black fruits and cherry notes. Chocolate and liquorice flavours, given by ageing in oak barrique, dominate a long and smooth aftertaste.
1 x Château Lussan 2018 (France)
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: SINGAPOUR COMPETITION 2019
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: SHANGHAI COMPETITION 2019
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: CHALLENGE INTERNATIONAL DU VIN 2019
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: China Wine & Spirits Awards 2019
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: FRANKFURT 2019
The Château’s history goes back to the Middle Ages, but vines and wine have always been part of the estate. The estate first belonged to the monks of the region’s most important abbeys, before passing into the hands of the d’Esparbès de Lussan family, who were part of the political establishment of the nearby town of Blaye.
This soft and fruity wine may be young, but with its bright red fruits, it's ready to drink. Its juicy red berry flavors are filled with spice and a minty character from wood aging. It finishes with ripe fruitiness.

Awarded Gold Medal: Selections Mondiales des Vins 2019
Awarded Gold Medal: Challenge International du Vin 2019

OMG! If you LOVE your reds big and smooth this is a wine for you!
The winemaker is Diogo Sepulveda, who has worked in Pomerol and Napa, and at 5-Star Halliday rated Turkey Flat in the Barossa.
OMG - it's not just the label - this whole wine is an exclamation! It is rich and generous with bold black fruit and palate-staining tannins. There's a delicious juicy core to this wine that is spicy and full of berry flavours. Ready to drink and ready to impress - OMG! Portugal boasts a superb range of unique, amazing quality wines which are terrific value, too. This tasty, smooth red is from Casa Santos Lima, a grand, family run property located near Lisbon, close to the Atlantic coast.
1 x Calmel & Joseph Côtes Du Roussillon-Villages 2016 (France)
AWARDED NEGOCIANTS OF THE YEAR 2018: La Revue du Vin de France
AWARDED 93/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018
"A gorgeous juicy fruit attack on the nose, showing lifted aromas of blackcurrant and cranberry with subtle roasted nut, olive and dark spice notes. The palate is concentrated and expansive with excellent depth and richness, superbly framed by firm tannins. Sturdy and bold. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018
"Calmel & Joseph continue to produce reasonably priced, well-made wines from throughout the Languedoc" RobertParker.com
1 x Pian e Fa Presto Chianti DOCG 2018 (Italy)
AWARDED 91/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2020
"This is classically expressed on the nose showing spiced cherry, dried herb, cured meat and anise characters. The palate is equally attractive displaying bright fruit flavours combined with lovely mid-palate weight and fine texture, backed by fine grainy tannins, finishing lingering and pleasingly dry" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2020
Bright ruby-red colour of an attractive intensity. Characteristically intense, distinguished by an elegant scent of violets and tenuous perfumes of wild berries. Dry, full, properly balanced and extremely enticing with lingering acidity and flavours of cherry and spice.
Food Pairing: It combines well with the hearty flavours of country cooking and it is the ideal companion of grilled red meat and cheeses aged at moderate length.
