2x Real Compania De Vinos Tempranillo 2016 (Spain)

Awarded Trophy for Champion Single Varietal Red: New World Wine Awards 2017

Awarded Gold Medal & 97/100: New World Wine Awards 2017

“Beautiful deep primary colour, floral aromas of rose and violet and bright red fruit. The palate is modern, vibrant and harmonious with dark fruits of blackcurrant and plum. From the home of flamenco, paella and tapas, here is a real taste of Spain with all the personality and complexity of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.” New World Wine Awards

Classic Tempranillo with all the hallmark, velvety, toasty flavours that have made Rioja such a hit. The grapes come from the old vineyards in La Mancha, rare in such a modestly priced wine, and key to its popularity and recent Trophy winning history. The Tempranillo variety expresses like none other the true spirit of Spain: being powerful and robust, while at the same time delicate and full of attraction. Popular and noble, profound and festive, traditional whilst radically contemporary

2x Passo Del Sud Edizione 2016 (Italy)

Awarded Gold Medal: Berliner Wine Trophy 2016

Awarded 97/100 Points: Luca Maroni ‘Yearbook of Italy’s Best Wines’ 2017

Awarded 93/100 Points: Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit, November 2017

"Opulent and substantial, this gorgeous red offers blackberry jam, dried cherry, vanilla, cocoa and toasted hazelnut characters with warm cake spice notes on the nose. The palate is concentrated and magnificently weighted, and delivers superb fruit richness and velvety mouthfeel, leading to a lingering delectable finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2017

This supercharged blend of the classic Italian grape varieties Primitivo, Nero de Troia and Negroamaro are made in the Appassimento style from the south of Italy. Appassimento style is all the rage at the moment, this involves drying grapes to concentrate the flavour – basically supercharging the wine!
Food Pairing: This could be the ultimate BBQ wine for summer 2017!

2x Cave De Roquebrun Chemin Des Olivettes 2016 (France)

Awarded Gold Medal: Feminalise 2017

Awarded Gold Medal: Languedoc-Roussillon Co-operative 2016

"Dense and appealing black fruit complemented by spice and delicate charcuterie notes. Smoky oak finish with fine tannins." International Wine Challenge

A remarkable, rich and powerful red from the Languedoc, showcasing the old-vine treasures that survive in the region's arid soils. Dense and complex with velvety blackberry spice. A wine brimming with character. On the palate more of the same fruit characters are joined with an abundance of red fruit. Hints of herbaceous spice linger with a soft smoky finish and lovely integrated tannins. All in all a lovely wine for all occasions.
45% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre and 10% Carignan produce a complex nose of dark berry fruit and cream made by winemaker is Cave De Roquebrun’s Alain Rogier, winner of 2015 the IWC Winemaker of the Year, adores all aspects of the region's wines.
