Description

So successful have our selections of hard-hitting Kings of Europe we have put together another round. As before, if you are a serious fan of European wine then you won't find a better selection of high performing, big hitting reds! Rich, dark fruit and lashings of spice are the hallmarks of the delicious reds in this case.

Collection includes:

1 x Cave De Roquebrun Terres D'Orb Rouge 2019 (France)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Citadelles du Vin

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Concours Mondial de Bruxelles

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: 70 Millions de Dégustateurs

Made from 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 20% Carignan and 10% Grenache. (The Grenache is from 30+ year old vines). This lovely southern French red has a delicate, elegant nose with red fruit aromas. Notes of blackberry, chocolate and liquorice on the palate. Soft, harmonious and well-balanced. Oodles of drinkability.

1 x Château Saint Roch Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Old Vine 2019 (France)

AWARDED 92/100 POINTS: Jeb Dunnuck

Blackcurrants, smoked herbs, licorice, and some bloody meatiness all emerge from the 2019 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Old Vine. It's medium to full-bodied, plush, and sexy on the palate, with a wonderful sense of seamlessness.

1 x Cabra Cega Tinto 2017 (Portugal)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Berliner Wein Trophy 2019

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Austrian Wine Challenge 2018

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: China Wines & Spirits Awards 2018

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.

Alc: 13% - Seal: Screw Cap

1 x Canapi Nero d'Avola 2020 (Italy)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Sakura Wine Awards

Canapi is back! After a couple of years in the shadows this juicy easy drinking red is back by popular demand, and the great news is that it has just been awarded a Gold Medal!

We're in love with the great value wines of Sicily. And nothing we've found so far is a better advertisement for them than the 'Canapi' wines. One of our biggest-selling wines, Canapi Nero d'Avola is fantastic example of the ripe, plummy, super easy-drinking reds that are coming out of Sicily these days.

Alc: 13% - Seal: Screw Cap

1 x Fantini Sangiovese 2019 (Italy)

AWARDED 96/100 POINTS: Luca Maroni

Garnet colour, fruity bouquet of strawberries and black cherries with vinous notes and hints of wood, quite intense and persistent; medium bodied, with firm tannins and good balance, immediate appeal.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with salami, savoury first courses, red meats and cheeses.

Alc: 13.5% - Seal: Screw Cap

1 x Ignacio Marín Montefeliz Tempranillo 2017 (Spain)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019

"Attractive juicy attack of dark and purple berries together with subtle spice notes lead to a succulent palate that is plump and fleshy. It is up front and delectable with plenty of tasty fruit flavours, leading to a lengthy comforting finish. Outstanding value" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019

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 brim-full with juicy plums, redcurrant and black cherries, made by the super talented Rivero family.

Food Pairing: Enjoy alongside tapas, garlic mushrooms, roasted vegetables with feta, or chicken. It's great as a glass on its own, too.
