Fine Red Wine

This is a textbook example of the grape, with warm, intense plum and blackberry fruit, gentle tannins and a burst of morello-cherry lusciousness.

Deep in colour, with bright, leafy forest bramble fruit and appealing juicy texture. The warmth of the 22 vintage shines through here.

Made from Portugal’s top red grape varietal, Touriga Nacional, and aged for six months in oak barrels for an exquisite richness in aroma, body and texture.

A lively, cherry and red berry-scented pinot, with a soft, rounded palate full of black cherry and blackcurrant flavours.

A delicious red Rhône and a long a favourite of the Guide Hachette des Vins, Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker and ours. Grenache, syrah and just a touch of mourvedre.

Made in only the best vintages and blended for us by Jonathan Maltus, the first Englishman to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker. Rich, ripe merlot, beautifully integrated oak.

Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec harvested and matured independently and skillfully brought together in this harmonious blend of dark fruit flavours. Mulberry and black currant abounds backed by a meaty ...

A sumptuous blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from one of Chianti's most ancient estates, representing over 5 centuries of Siennese winemaking. Loves grilled red meats, game, mature cheeses.

Ripe, red-berried fruit on a dense silky palate. Savoury notes reminiscent of cigar box add a touch of refinement. Drinking well now and will continue to evolve.

From this up-and-coming producer a sensational Côtes du Rhône village and for us, one of the best value wines to be found in all the Rhône valley. Very Châteauneuf.

A silky merlot blend from the Côtes de Castillon to deliciously demonstrate just how good - and ageworthy - the wines of Bordeaux's more affordable regions have become.

From 3rd-growth Château Giscours (Margaux) and sumptuous, abundant, well-balanced proof that you need not always pay £20+ for a bottle of Left Bank pedigree and finesse.

Deeply coloured, with classic cab franc herbaceous notes lifting bright, black-berry fruit. Perfumed with a note of fresh mint and a hint of sweet, spicy oak.

Expressive, fresh cassis fruit in abundance - quite an exuberant, aromatic style with a subtle note of cedar - classically cabernet sauvignon.

Strikingly fresh and pure for a Malbec, with warm, sweetish bramble fruit, savoury spice and soft ripe tannins. Really characterful and well-balanced.

A brilliant red for outdoor drinking. There is invigorating, zippy freshness to complement gorgeous concentration and grip. Perfect on its own but will equally stand up to hearty grilled meats. ...

From one of the most creative of new generation Piedmont winegrowers comes a Barbera d'Alba of exceptional finesse and elegance. Structured, bold, expressive - delicious.

Made from 40 year old vines and aged in French oak barrels. Priorat with just Rioja has the highest designation for a wine appellation in Spain.

Vibrant, deeply flavoured cabernet sauvignon that is elegant, aromatic, and, though irresistible now, also happy to spend the next ten years developing further layers of enchanting nuance and flavour.

From pinot noir vines averaging 50 years of age comes this deeply fruited, peppery Bourgogne Rouge from the clay/limestone plateau in the Macon region of southern Burgundy.

"The 2021 Juliénas 'Le Clos des Poulettes' is unique in that it's made in what I imagine to be the only working winery in France located in a church. 

In a sheltered valley at the foot of Monte Amiato, the highest mountain in Tuscany, the wines benefit from the very rich mineral soil of this extinct volcano.  

A captivating equilibrium between sumptuous, spicy dark fruit and a surprisingly gentle, fresh conclusion. A remarkable performance from a wine so youthful.

A bold, flavourful blend, with real presence and class. Principally syrah and malbec, with a little cabernet and petit Verdot. Dark, vibrant and bursting with bramble fruit.
