Wine Summary

Jean-Marc Sauboua was born and raised in the heart of Grand Cru Bordeaux and has a book filled with useful contacts. He’s a winemaker too (trained at Château Haut Brion) as well as a top Bordeaux Buyer, hence both the great quality and value of this juicy claret. Plus, it’s from a lovely ripe vintage. Jean-Marc tasted his way through a few dozen vats of wine to pick out the very best. He then helped the winemaker put a blend together that had just the right balance of forward ripe fruit and silky tannins to make this a great-value early drinking and Gold-winning Bordeaux. There’s no rush either. For now, Jean-Marc suggests pouring into a jug to aerate the wine. Then serve with midweek suppers – shepherd’s pie, chops, butter bean casserole. It’s versatile!

La Bella 2018

La Bella, from Spain's Campo de Borja is indeed a beauty – with no fewer than 8 Gold medals.

Wine Summary

Founder Señor Andrés Ruberte began making wine from the gnarled old bush vines of his 25-hectare estate in Campo de Borja in 1978. Skip forward to 2017 and the estate under the husband and wife team of Miguel Salvador and Susana Ruberte was named the “BEST WINERY IN ARAGÓN.” Around 500 years ago, local farmers began to carve vast caves into the side of the Moncayo Mountain next to the winery. To this day, several are still in use as refuges for their owners from the intense Summer heat. As the owners proudly report: "Ours is the only such cave in the area that continues to serve its original purpose and although the original oak barrels have since been replaced, the mountain walls hold firm and still provide the ideal cellar for our finest barrel-aged wines". La Bella is a velvety blend of Garnacha, Syrah and Tempranillo crafted by Scottish-born, Spanish expert winemaker Pamela Geddes. It's 100% barrel aged in French oak, lovely and smooth now with six years of aging in barrel and bottle and a treat served alongside roast lamb. Oh, and it also boasts EIGHT Golds including a rare Great Gold and a Double and high scores of 90-92pts.

Wine Summary

Pillastro our bestselling Italian reds – customers love all that richness, warmth and bold, ripe fruit. It comes from Puglia's Salento region, in Italy’s deep south, best known for big, reds made from the prized local variety Primitivo. Packed with spiced plum and raspberry flavour, this is a rich, dark, velvety red. It's from maestro of Puglia, Angelo Maci, and his pride and joy winery that has five times been voted Italy’s Winery or co-op of the Year. Angelo started the cellar over 30 years ago with 15 growers, now there are over 1,000 and he knows them all by name. It's not only growers he saves, but the ancient traditions and almost-extinct grape varieties that make these wines so rich, characterful and super-charged. This rich, powerful red is a great match to spicy tomato pasta.

Wine Summary

The buzz of bees is music to the ears of grape growers. Because where there are bees, there are healthy vines and pristine grapes. Leon Esterbuizen pays tribute to these essential vineyard workers with this velvety Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Grenache blend. The grapes come from the hardy Swartland wine region – a hilly, dry area that's fast gained a name for quality. Nearly half were taken from old bush vines, which produce fruit of excellent concentration and all were handpicked, in the cool of the night for freshness. Whole bunch fermentation and wild yeasts means a gentle touch in the cellar and more layers of flavour. It’s as smooth as its name would suggest, with layers of ripe berry fruit, herb and spice notes. Great with bangers and mash.

Wine Summary

This plump, juicy-fruit, Double Gold Merlot is made by Trophy-winning winemaker Nicolas Bizzarri. He heads the cellar team at the leading, family-owned Luis Felipe Edwards estate in the premium Colchagua Valley. Luis Felipe Edwards Snr started his wine estate in 1976, beginning with a small plot of land and slowly buying up more vineyards. Today he owns an entire valley and a thoroughly modern, fully equipped cellar. He really has spared no expense over the years (even installing chandeliers in the barrel cellar), but has always kept that quality-focused, family-run touch to the business. His reds are renowned for both great flavour and value and have won many top international awards. Tasty as a glass solo, this Merlot is very versatile with food too.

Wine Summary

One major UK newspaper named Rocksand Shiraz among its ‘12 Best Portuguese Wines’, giving it the title of ‘best for a meat feast’! The secret to its luscious weight and fruit-packed splendour is the sandy soils, which hold little rain for the vines, plus the unrelenting hot sun of the Setúbal Península. The result is a very modest yield of small berries crammed with juicy flavour and spice. No wonder, then, award-winning winemaker Jaime Quendera is now forging a worldwide reputation for Setúbal’s rich, bold reds, all at affordable prices, too. A few months' ageing in French oak barrels has lent a gorgeous, spicy, vanilla lift to its wealth of ripe black fruits. A fine, Gold-medal treat to serve with spicy chorizo sausages, a hearty stew or the Sunday roast.
