Domaine des Deux Roches,
Ready, but will keep,
Our 2018 White Burgundy has been made in collaboration with our good friends Jean-Luc Terrier and Christian Collovray. This delicious expression of mineral Burgundian Chardonnay has delicate floral aromas, while the palate abounds with ripe citrus and peach fruit, finishing on a subtle, smoky note thanks to well-judged oak. An excellent Apéritif, or an ideal match for salads, seafood and lighter meat dishes.

Celebrated British artist Kate Boxer created her dashing dandy – a nod to our former customer Beau Brummell – for the latest in our limited-edition series of Good Ordinary Claret. Just 7,000 bottles have been produced.
Our best-selling wine for many decades, GOC, as it's known, brilliantly highlights the drinkability of modern red Bordeaux. Bright, medium ruby in colour it has a siren-like nose of black cherries, bramble fruit and wood smoke. The palate follows through with a long, velvety finish. Equally at home with a weekday supper or a grand Sunday roast, it is the perfect wine for all occasions.

De Martino,
Drink now,
This superb Sauvignon Blanc was crafted for us by gifted winemaker Marcelo Retamal of De Martino, from fruit grown in Chile’s Casablanca Valley. Its complex bouquet includes aromas of lime, kiwi fruit and freshly-mown grass. On the palate, mouth-watering acidity and a beguiling mineral character speak of the vineyards’ proximity to the Pacific. Enjoy it with seafood, vegetarian dishes or as an apéritif.

De Martino,
Drink now,
We are delighted to be working with the brilliant De Martino on this new addition to our range. The wine is surprisingly restrained, a nod to Bordeaux evident in its lean, focused character and fine, grainy tannins. This is, however, still full of fresh blackberry fruit with sweet black cherries completing the long yet refreshing finish. Perfect to pour straight away, this also has the gravitas to merit decanting – if you have the patience, that is.

Dourthe,

The latest vintage of our best-selling white, “GOW”, is a benchmark Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented at low temperatures to preserve the crystalline purity of this popular variety, the nose displays classic cut-grass and gooseberry aromas. The palate follows up with fresh, crunchy white current and citrus fruit. With its elegant, bone-dry finish, this is perfect on its own or with lighter fish and chicken dishes

Selbach-Oster,
Ready, but will keep,
This Kabinett is made for us by Johannes Selbach, based in Zeltingen on the banks of the Mosel. Off-dry in style, the grapes are grown on the slate-rich slopes of the spectacular Mittelmosel. Crystalline acidity, slate-inflected minerality and lime zest characterise the nose and palate, with hints of white blossom and stone-fruit adding to the complexity of a wine that is accessible, juicy and vibrant.

Isabel Estate,
Ready, but will keep,
Our new Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is made for us by award-winning winemaker Jeremy McKenzie from Isabel Estate. The nose is reminiscent of an invigorating sea breeze and freshly cut grass. Enticing notes of on-the-vine tomatoes follow on the palate which is rounded and smooth with a passionfruit edge. The wine has wonderful freshness and finesse, complete by a clean, pure finish. This would be perfect as an aperitif or divine with a warm goats’ cheese salad.

Artists and filmmakers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard used the forgotten Victorian art of “multigraphs” to create our latest limited-edition label. This technique conjures a visual illusion. “With a bottle of Good Ordinary Claret at the centre, a sociable setting emerges from a single glass,” the artists explain. Only 8,000 bottles are available.

“GOC”, as it is known, has long been our best-selling wine, and the current vintage admirably demonstrates why. With notes of cassis and wood-smoke on the nose, it’s a classic Bordeaux blend full of glorious ripe fruit, with a moreish, savoury finish.
Domaine Lyrarakis,
Drink now,
We have worked with Crete producer Lyrarakis for a long time, and leapt at the chance to have a wine made exclusively for our own-label range. This Vidiano – an indigenous grape – is produced without any oak influence, preserving the intensely fresh, peach and apricot characters that emerge on the nose. On the palate, these notes are underpinned by juicy acidity, glorious concentration and a mouth-filling texture. The finish is persistent, with lingering notes of stone-fruit and a salty tang.

Our 2018 Argentinian Malbec, made for us again by the brilliant Pulenta Estate, is full of rich black-cherry fruit. The wine has a touch more weight than the previous vintage yet is still fresh and crunchy with all-around appeal. This is a Malbec that manages to merge its ripe blueberry character and svelte texture with complete refreshment on the palate. It is incredibly versatile, matching well with chilli con carne or beef burgers alike.

Elderton,
Ready, but will keep,
This is a full-bodied and classical Barossa Shiraz, with rich, ripe dark fruit characters. Blackberry and brambles are layered with vanilla spice on the nose. On the palate plush tannins and fresh acidity are balanced by forest fruits, warm spice and milk chocolate, leading to a long, rich finish

Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes,
Drink now,
Our first Beaujolais-Villages has been made by talented brother and sister team Louis-Benoît and Claude-Emmanuelle Desvignes. The fruit comes from a parcel of 60-year-old vines on a south-facing granite slope in the commune of Jullié, which sits at around 400 metres’ altitude. The old vines provide concentrated strawberry fruit, while the high altitude and granite soil give grip and mineral freshness. Made without oak to preserve the pristine fruit character, the oral top notes, sweet red-berry fruit and crunchy nish make this an irresistible wine.

Sourced from the Frankland River in Western Australia, from Frankland Estate, this wine embodies freshness and a glorious purity of fruit, reflecting the region's cooler climate. The characteristic salinity on the nose and palate is met by vibrant lemon zest and stony notes. The palate is poised; white peach and citrus layer with vibrant acidity and a touch of creaminess adds to the complexity of this classically proportioned wine.

Once again, sisters María and Cristina Amézola de la Mora have produced our own-label Rioja. A nose of fresh hedgerow fruit and subtle vanilla leads to a generous but fresh palate of raspberries and blackberries, with hints of cinnamon and exotic spice. The layers of fruit reveal the wine’s complexity and finesse. This is gloriously enticing.

Produced specially for Berry Bros. & Rudd by Crittenden, this is an exceptionally pure Pinot Noir.

Tierhoek,
Ready, but will keep,
Sourced from Piekenierskloof pioneers, Tierhoek, this Chenin is made from fruit produced from a few select, old blocks planted in the 1970s. The nose reflects layers of orchard fruit with citrus pith and hints of wild fynbos herbs. The concentration expansion of fruit across the palate is incredible, with poised and precise acidity layering with earthy minerality, quince and lime zest. The finish is gloriously long and vibrant. Once again, this wine expresses a unique terroir.

Chateau Climens,

This exquisite wine has been carefully vinified for us by one of the finest châteaux in Sauternes, Ch. Climens. The fruit comes from different parcels within the vineyard, producing a wine with classic honey and orange blossom notes on the nose.

Wild flowers and a saline core make this a deliciously refreshing wine.

A 50/50 blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, this classic example of white Graves is bottled for us by Famille JM Cazes. Gorgeous aromas of citrus oil and white peaches fill the nose, while the palate strikes the perfect balance of caressing soft fruit with a vibrant lick of acidity on the finish.

Since its first vintage in 2002, “EOC” has come from a single estate in Graves. Surely the finest showing yet, the 2016 is a textbook example of classic, rounded Claret, that can be enjoyed now, or cellared for a year or two. Loaded with rich blackberry fruit, with a warming, woody finish, it will drink as well with a modest midweek meal as it will with the grandest of roasting joints.

Domaine du Colombier, Chablis,
Ready, but will keep,
The warm and luminous 2018 growing season has lent a touch of generosity to our Chablis. It is a blend of four different vineyard parcels in Chichée, a village renowned for producing fresh, mineral wines. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve the wine’s crisp, citrus fruit and steely freshness, this classically styled Chablis is a perfect match for seafood and fresh cheeses.

The talented David Sautereau has once again come up trumps, succeeding in retaining the classic restraint and balance of Sancerre, while giving a subtle nod to the unusually generous summer of 2018. The result is a fresh and mineral take on this warm and sunny vintage, seamlessly combining ripe stone-fruit with crisp citrus and subtle flint. It’s a perfect partner to the famous local Crottin de Chavignol goats’ cheese.

Greystone Wines,
Ready, but will keep,
Made for us once again by Greystone in North Canterbury, our 2017 New Zealand Pinot Noir is a wonderfully pretty and delicate wine. We love the fact that Greystone reflects the vintage conditions so well each year in its wines; this 2017 does not have the intense, smoky character of 2016 but, in contrast, is a much more Burgundian style, full of very pure red-berry fruit with just a touch of black cherries. It is lifted, ethereal and a joy to taste.

Nikolaihof,
Ready, but will keep,
Made specially for Berry Bros. & Rudd by biodynamic estate Nikolaihof, our 2017 Grüner Veltliner balances concentration and accessibility. As in previous vintages, this Federspiel enjoys extended time on its lees in large, old wooden casks, bringing additional layers of depth and complexity to the wine. Notes of fresh herbs and citrus pith mingle with layers of white peach and orange blossom on the nose and palate. The acidity is ripe and vivacious, bringing freshness and clarity to the mouth-feel, leading to a long, scented finish.

Benjamin Leroux,
Ready, but will improve,
Our Bourgogne Côte d’Or Pinot Noir is a new addition to our own-label range, made from 100 percent Côte d’Or fruit to obtain this prestigious new appellation (which only came into existence from the 2017 vintage). The fruit is in fact declassified Chorey-lès-Beaune, from very old vines and sourced with the help of star négociant Benjamin Leroux exclusively for Berry Bros. & Rudd. Unsurprisingly, the wine offers remarkable complexity, with pretty, floral top-notes accompanying the charming red-berry fruit. Elegant and delicate, this is Burgundian Pinot Noir in its most elemental expression.

This is a predominantly Merlot-based wine from a small Grand Cru property managed by one of the best winemakers on the Right Bank, Alain Vauthier. The nose is classic St Emilion, showing rich bramble fruit with a hint of chocolate and vanilla. The palate is enticingly soft and rounded, with generous fruit and warmth.
