2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Reserve Red by Collovray & Terrier

J L Terrier & C Collovray, Drink now,

Fruits of the 2016 vintage, which was so much kinder in the South of France than elsewhere, our blend this year marries plots of Merlot from varying altitudes, together with uplifting Syrah and ripe, generous Grenache. Finely crafted, and reassuringly gregarious, the wine is impressively structured and beautifully made.

2017 Berry Bros. & Rudd Reserve White by Collovray & Terrier

J L Terrier & C Collovray, Drink now,

Limoux’s steep slopes and rich limestone and clay soils have combined to create this accessible white wine. Chardonnay from a selection of carefully selected parcels dominates the blend, giving breadth and concentration to the palate. Sauvignon Blanc, Mauzac and Chenin Blanc bring vibrancy and a refreshing acidity.

2016 Chardonnay/ Pinot Grigio, Il Roccolo, Natale Verga, Abruzzo

Natale Verga, Drink now,

This wine is approachable and versatile. Aromas of white peach and lime blossom emerge on the nose, while there is ample fruit on the mid-palate and plenty of energy coming from its ripe acidity and citrus fruit vibrancy. This is perfect for drinking now.

2015 Tierhoek Piekeniers White Blend, Piekenierskloof

Tierhoek, Drink now,

Originating from the rugged, mountainous ward of Piekenierskloof on the border with Cederberg, the wines at Tierhoek are made by Roger Burton, now helped by Carla Niewoudt, with fruit from the farm, which is the only fully restored Sandveld farm in South Africa. The wines continue to exude a sense of place, with the older vine components bringing depth and complexity.

This is a one-off blend from Shelley Sandell, with only 3,600 bottles produced. The Sauvignon Blend element (a third was aged in old oak) is more textural than aromatic, and the wine has a lovely touch of honeyed dryness. A lovely, understated limited-edition bottling.

Berry Bros. & Rudd Crémant de Limoux by Antech

Antech Limoux, Drink now,

Family-owned Antech is the most prestigious producer in Limoux and we are delighted to have worked exclusively with Françoise Antech, from the sixth generation of the family, to craft this wonderfully expressive Crémant de Limoux.

A blend of 70 percent Chardonnay and 15 percent each of Chenin Blanc and Mauzac, aged traditionally and generously on its lees, this is a beautiful, balanced wine, with elegant aromas of orchard fruit and honeyed spice. The palate marries more exotic fruits with a clean, pebbly backdrop and an impressive depth of flavour.

2016 Pulenta, La Flor Blend, Mendoza

Pulenta Estate, Drink now,

Pulenta’s La Flor is a delightfully fresh, floral and red berry scented take on Argentinian Malbec. It is medium-bodied, with lively acidity. Six months in one-year old barrels contribute a luxurious hint of vanilla to the finish. This is a snappy, moreish accompaniment to gourmet beef burgers.

2016 De Martino Gallardía del Itata Old Vine White, Itata Valley

De Martino, Drink now,

A new member of the Itata family, the 2016 Gallardía de Itata Old Vine White is sourced from their own dry-farmed, ungrafted old vines planted in 1905 in the zone of Guarilihue. It is a field blend of approximately 70% Moscatel and the rest what they call Corinto, which is nothing other than Chasselas. They consider 2016 a great vintage in Itata, and you were able to harvest early and were not guided by the sugar content of the grapes. Following the house style, this has low alcohol (12.3%), low pH (3.09) and high acidity (6.38 grams), unusual for the varieties elsewhere. This is the blend that was traditional in the zone. The nose is not terribly expressive, somehow neutral and austere, it doesn't show the typical Moscatel aromas. The wine was kept in used barrels until it was bottled in November 2016. The palate is light and fresh, quite tasty, not terribly expressive either. 9,680 bottles produced.
Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate. 28th April 2017.

2017 Berry Bros. & Rudd Provence Rosé by Château la Mascaronne

Château La Mascaronne, Drink now,

This rosé has been specially blended for Berry Bros. & Rudd by Château la Mascaronne, which is based in the beautiful rolling hills of the Côtes de Provence. Juicy red berry fruits of wild strawberries and redcurrants are combined with refreshing herbal notes of lemon verbena and hints of spice. The crispness of acidity and salinity on the palate brings vibrancy and tension.

2015 Neuburger, Nikolaihof, Wachau

Nikolaihof, Drink now,

A relatively unknown variety, Neuburger which is indigineous to Austria should not be overlooked! Quite full bodied in style with a glycerol mouthfeel and aromas of peach, orange peel and pink grapefruit, this wine has an attractive salty/saline note on the palate that really lifts and excites. Aged in 2000l casks, this really is a lovely wine.

2015 Ch. du Moulin Neuf, Medoc

Ch du Moulin Neuf, Ready, but will keep,

This is a fruit-driven, accessible Médoc from the clement 2015 vintage. The lion’s share of the blend is Merlot which makes it perfectly approachable in its youth, the palate is generous with blackcurrant fruit and the tannins are fine and polished thanks to its six months spent in oak barrels. It won a silver medal in the Decanter World Wine Awards (2017). This modern Médoc is crying out for red meat, whether it is roast beef, steak and ale pie or anything off the grill, it should prove to be the perfect dining partner.

Domaine Lyrarakis, Malvasia of Crete, Greece

Domaine Lyrarakis, Drink now,

A historic wine which enjoyed huge success for 300 years while Crete was ruled by Venice, the tradition was to blend together a number of native Cretan grapes rather than use a single varietal. This blend comprises the white cultivars Plyto, Dafni, Vidiano and Vilana. Grapes are dried in the sun for nine days to concentrate the sugars and the must, and, after pressing, the wine is aged in new oak for a year.

You might expect the resultant wine, from such a warm climate, to be on the heavy side, but in fact the contrary is true. There is a high degree of lusciousness with rich, grapey, apricot-and-honey aromas, and plenty of weight on the palate, but there is also a real sense of elegance and freshness to the wine. Serve it with creamy fruit desserts or simply with ripe stone fruit such as peaches and nectarines, whilst sitting at an open-air table overlooking a Greek harbour.

2015 Mondeuse, Le Pied de Barme, Domaine Saint-Germain

Domaine Saint-Germain, Ready, but will keep,

The nose is exceptionally complex with cranberry, red cherries, earth and savoury spice (thyme perhaps). The palate toys with sourness, then delivers sweeter red fruit towards the finish. At present, the tannins are tooth-coating and grainy in the most satisfying way, but will become silky with another few years in bottle. A tremendous alternative to Cru Beaujolais and a winning accompaniment to all manner of dishes, notably charcuterie or tartare de bœuf.

Bedrock Wine Co., The Whole Shebang, Cuvée XI, California, USA

Bedrock Wine Co., Ready, but will keep,

This multi-vintage, multi-variety blend is made with an in-house solera system to produce consistency (and as such the cuvée will change every nine to 12 months). It is made with declassified fruit from the Bedrock vineyard, ensuring the wine is of extremely high quality – and offers incredible value!
The Cuvée XI has a juicy, ripe red-fruit core, with crisp acidity and rich, punchy tannins. At 14 percent alcohol, this wine displays incredible balance. The blend is predominately Zinfandel, Carignan, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Alicante Bouschet, Grenache, Syrah and Barbera, aged in French oak.

2013 Pedra Basta, Sonho Lusitano, Quinta do Centro, Alentejano

Sonho Lusitano, Quinta do Centro, Drink now,

A blend of Trincadeira, Arragonez, Cabernet Sauvignon and the all-important Alicante Bouschet – key to the singularity of the wines of the Alentejo. In fact, Sonho Lusitano is located in the Alentejo sub-region of Portalegre, where the increased altitude contributes to the freshness and finesse of the estate’s wines. 12 months in old oak allows the constituent parts of Pedra Basta to harmonise but leaves no trace of flavour. The name Pedra Basta (enough stone) hints at the engaging mineral character of its long, moreish finish. Drink now to 2018.
Will Heslop - Wine Buyer

English wine writer Richard Mayson MW, who has long recognised the potential of the Portalegre sub-region of the Alentejo, made his Sonho Lusitano (Lusitanian Dream) a reality when he established the eponymous estate with winemaker Rui Reguinga in 2005. The Portalegre DOC lies some 500 metres above sea-level and enjoys significantly more rainfall than the majority of the Alentejo.

2014 Dara, Celler Sangenís i Vaqué, Priorat

Celler Sangenis i Vaque, Drink now,

Dara is a Catalan word meaning now and, true to its name, this wine delivers instant gratification. Following the initial hit of ripe black fruit aromas, discrete notes of black olive tapenade and garrigue begin to reveal themselves, pointing to Dara’s Mediterranean roots – roots that stretch deep beneath the famous llicorella soils of Priorat. Garnacha, Carignan (Samsó in these parts) and 10% Merlot make up the blend. All are grown on terraces at around 400 metres altitude, where a strong breeze known as the Garbinada provides respite from the summer heat, maintaining a high level of acidity to balance the 14.5% alcohol. To round things off, there’s a luxurious lick of oak on the finish, the result of 12 months in an even split of French and American barrels.
A fabulous accompaniment to chargrilled red meat.

2012 Mas Champart Blanc, Pays d'Oc

Mas Champart, Drink now,

Mas Champart’s Pays d’Oc white (previously called Monts de la Grage) is a fascinating blend of ancestral Languedoc varieties, Terret (80 percent) and Grenache Gris (20 percent), the former from 110-year-old vines, its meagre progeny picked late and then vinified in large wooden vats.
The wine is appropriately different, with hints of salinity underscoring a mid-palate profile, which is dominated by grapefruit, quince and poached pear. Notes of honey and spice are also evidenced and the finish is powerful; an unusual but most impressive example. Exactly the kind of wine, all too seldom unearthed, which shows off the rich diversity of the heritage of the Languedoc.

2013 Mas Champart, Blanc, Pays d'Oc

Mas Champart, Drink now,

The 2013 is a blend of 70 % Terret and 30 % Grey Grenache, farmed at impressively low yields (less than 25 hl/hr) on a limestone plateau with very stony topsoil. Vinification and elevage is carried out in 500 litre Stockinger barrels for 9 months and the resulting wine has texture and grip, floral aromatics giving way to a palate which is both smoky, crisp and richly satisfying; a good match for terrine, white meat salads or even Fusion cuisine…..

2016 Pecorino dei Colli Aprutini, Collepietro, Faraone, Abruzzo

Faraone, Abruzzo, Ready, but will keep,

Pecorino is a white grape, traditionally from the hills of Abruzzo, where it is adept at growing in a slightly cooler climate and on clay soil. It is the last grape to flower in the Spring and the first to be harvested in September. Vinified in a traditional white wine-way, the nose shows off notes of white flowers while the ageing sur lie gives it a full body. Sometimes it is described as a red wine dressed as white.
