Pouilly-Fuissé ' Clos des Quarts', Olivier Merlin
--
Olivier Merlin
-- France
Chardonnay, 13% alc. The 2006 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos des Quarts is graceful and harmonious, even though it is the richest of Olivier's Pouilly-Fuissé cuvées. There is no loss of elegance in the rounded and perfumed palate which is redolent of ripe pears. It will stand up well to spicy oriental cuisine, as well as more classic fish or chicken matches. This is a delicious wine for the medium term, showing just how good Maconnais wines can be in the hands of Merlin the magician. (Jasper Morris MW, BBR Buyer) |

Pinot Blanc, Barriques, Domaine Ostertag
--
Domaine André Ostertag
-- France
Pinot Blanc, 13% alc. A fascinating blend of Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc and even some Pinot Noir a jus blanc, finely-tuned in this top vintage with the aid of 10% new barriques, adding weave as well as complexity. Delicious, especially with smoked trout. (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer) "Barrel-fermented and then left for nine months in oak, this pinot blanc has a creamy texture and a buoyancy that comes into its own with food. It's reminiscent of white peach, just-baked pear tarts and mandarins. Drink with with salmon teriyaki with noodles..." (Victoria Moore-The Guardian, 16 Aug 08) |

Grüner Veltliner, Freie Weingarten
--
Freie Weingarten Wachau
-- Austria
Grüner Veltliner, 12% alc. Frighteningly fashionable on the London restaurant scene, Gruner Veltliner (known in some circles as Gruvy) shows here its full worth and inherent complexity. This Gruner Veltliner had an attractive aromatic nose, with notes of white pepper, Spring flowers and pear skin to the fore. The palate maintains the spicy theme, with crisp acidity to balance the generous texture and a satisfying gently piquant finish. An ideal aperitif, the wine has also sufficient weight to match salads and white meat; try with sea bass or even turbot. (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer) |

Nebbiolo d'Alba, Valmaggiore, Sandrone
--
Luciano Sandrone
-- Italy
Nebbiolo, 13.5% alc. "From a single-vineyard sandy site in 'Valmaggiore', north of Alba, this beautifully perfumed, strawberry rich 100% Nebbiolo displays all the suave, finely crafted fruit we've come to expect from Luciano Sandrone; aged for approx 10 months in large french tonneau to capture the maximum fruit expression."

Isabel Estate Pinot Noir, Marlborough, NZ
--
Isabel Estate
-- New Zealand
Pinot Noir, 13.5% alc. Such was the success of the vintage that Mike Tiller's Pinot Noir displays dark plum skin, almost black gateau richness on the nose, as well as a level of detail and spicy complexity that comes from having nine different Pinot clones in the vineyard. The palate follows, being lush & voluptuous, tamed by 10 months in 20% new french oak. Alluring in its youth the wine will drink for a further 5 years yet. (David Berry Green - BBR Buyer) |
