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

J L Terrier & C Collovray, Drink now,

This Merlot-dominated blend has Syrah and Grenache in support, resulting in a juicy red wine with a crunchy fruit profile. A barrel-aged parcel adds complexity to lots from varying altitudes. The frost of the 2017 has affected volumes on offer, but the quality has remained characteristically high.

2018 Berry Bros. & Rudd, Reserve White, by Collovray & Terrier

J L Terrier & C Collovray, Drink now,

This wine exudes notes of white blossom, citrus and generous stone-fruit. It has lively and energetic, almost saline acidity, that one expects from the beautiful hillsides of Limoux. Juicy and silky in texture, the concentration drives on right to the finish

2018 Berry Bros. & Rudd Provence Rosé by Château la Mascaronne

Drink now,

Château la Mascaronne – the property behind our own-label Provence Rosé – is located in the beautiful rolling hills of the Côtes de Provence. The wine, blended specially for us and made exclusively with organic fruit, displays subtle spice and zesty acidity, with a floral edge and delicate red-fruit perfume.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Provence Rosé by Château la Mascaronne

Drink now,

A blend of Grenache and Cinsault, direct pressed and fermented at relatively low temperatures, this is an archetypal Provence Rosé, a category which is getting more and more popular and in which the spectrum of quality is ever-widening. Mascaronne is right at the top of the pile, quite literally, its stony, photogenic vineyards carved out of the rocks, its fruit cultivated organically and at low yields.

The 2016 vintage enjoyed a benevolent ripening season, even by Provençal standards, and this harmonious backdrop has been expertly captured by our friends at Mascaronne. Cinsault and Grenache are the majority shareholders here, and are perfectly complementary; the first floral and lifted, the second rounded and generous. The wine is a symphony of red fruit and soft spice, its gentle nacreous colour perfectly antithetical to the expressive and joyful fruit basket of the palate.

2017 Berry Bros. & Rudd Provence Rosé by 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.

2017 Al Muvedre, Telmo Rodríguez, Alicante, Spain

Telmo Rodriguez, Drink now,

The nose of this Mourvèdre (known locally as Monastrell) is open, displaying vibrant bramble fruit and a subtle hint of spice, wild herb and hedgerow. On the palate, the wine is generous and rounded, yet supple and impressively fresh. There is a real finesse to this wine, particularly for its price-point. It is the perfect partner for summer barbecues (or grilled meats in less clement weather). Ready to drink now.

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.

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.

Rosé Brut, Cuvée Edoardo, Trevisiol L. e Figli, Veneto

Trevisiol L. e Figli, Drink now,

A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Glera, this fizz has an attractive red-fruit perfume of strawberries and redcurrants. While not technically a Prosecco, due to the use of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this is a fresh and clean rosé which would make the perfect sparkling apéritif for a summer’s day.

2016 DouRosa, Tinto, Quinta de la Rosa, Douro, Portugal

Quinta De La Rosa, Drink now,

The 2016 Tinto douROSA is unoaked and comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a fruity little Beaujolais-styled wine, but it typically does nicely. Its fresh fruit and vivid flavor are supported by its structure as a rule, some acidity to go with ripe tannins. Its freshness makes it sing. So, too, this year. I think the 2015 year was better for this style, granting that they are not side by side, but there isn't a huge difference in style, just changes along the margins. This is very pretty, a perfect summer red, something you can drink casually and a little cooler than normal. It is nicely priced and made for immediate consumption. It may hold a bit, but drink it as young as possible. It is worth leaning up just now.

The 2018 Triennes displays a delicious red-berry perfume with hints of watermelon and pink grapefruit.

2018 De Martino, Gallardia, Old Vine White, Itata Valley, Chile

De Martino, Ready, but will keep,

The 2018 Gallardía del Itata Old Vine White was produced with a field blend of 70% Moscatel and 30% Chasselas from their own dry-farmed, ungrafted old vines planted in 1905 in Guarilihue. 2018 was a cool year with low yields and an early harvest that resulted in fresh and light wines of good typicity. This wine ferments in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matures in used barrels until the bottling, which will be some time in October 2018. What I like about this wine is that it doesn't have the classical Moscatel aromas; it's very subtle and elegant, with great freshness. It's sharp and dry, with some more varietal flavors and the tension from the granite. 9,200 bottles produced.

2016 Mestizaje Tinto, Bodega Mustiguillo, Valencia, Spain

Bodega Mustiguillo, Drink now,

Bodega Mustiguillo is a certified organic family-run project which has worked hard to pioneer the revival of indigenous grape varieties, championing the red variety Bobal which forms 72% of this blend, alongside 17% Garnacha and 11% Syrah. The use of oak (10 months in French barrels) is restrained, creating a well-balanced and refreshing wine. It’s fruit-driven, with notes of dark berry fruit mixing with earthier notes of cocoa powder and a subtle hint of cinnamon and ground nutmeg. The finish is long, concentrated and fresh – thanks to the vineyards’ altitude of 800 metres above sea-level. Enjoy this with red meat or tomato-based dishes. Drink now to 2021.

2017 Mullineux, Kloof Street Rouge, Swartland, South Africa

Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines, Drink now,

Mullineux was established by husband and wife winemakers Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Since 2007, their ambition has been to produce wines that are a true expression of the Swartland. They work closely with a select group of growers who follow sustainable, reasoned farming practices.

Syrah makes up the majority of this blend and the grape’s presence is immediately clear from the pepper spice on the nose and mid-palate. This spice is met by juicy red fruit and rose perfume. Supple tannins and flecks of shale minerals give this wine a complexity that belies its price. Drink now to 2021.

This is a fantastic, pretty rosé from Cillar de Silos made from Tinto Fino (also known as Tempranillo) from vines aged between 15 and 75 years old. It is particularly elegant and fine in 2018, with lovely strawberry fruit and a creamy texture complemented by a hint of dried fennel. This would go very well with seafood or salads.

2016 Lote 3, M.O.B., Dão, Portugal

M.O.B. Moreira, Olazabal & Borges, Ready, but will keep,

Lote 3 is an incredibly versatile wine and a firm favourite amongst the Buying team. It is delicious slightly chilled with a barbecue. It is made from Touriga Nacional, Jaen (aka Mencía in Spain) and Alfrocheiro – all old, low-yielding vines which create very concentrated wines. It is delightfully floral and herbal on the nose, which gives it a real lifted freshness. On the palate the aromatics are complemented by a concentrated core of raspberry and dark cherry fruit, while there’s also a mineral, granitic thread running through it. The Dão’s cool nights create fresh acidity which keeps this wine especially lively. Ready to drink now.

2018 Mestizaje Blanco, Bodega Mustiguillo, Valencia, Spain

Bodega Mustiguillo, Drink now,

Bodega Mustiguillo has pioneered the revival of indigenous grape varieties, championing the red variety Bobal, as well as the equally unknown white indigenous variety, Merseguera. The latter makes up 66% of this blend, alongside 23% Viognier and 11% Malvasía. The result is vivacious, yet elegant. The Merseguera contributes a very noticeable minerality and a citrus core, while Viognier and Malvasía bring a slightly rounder texture and more aromatic floral notes to the blend. The three varieties are perfectly offset against each other. This would be a perfect match for subtly spiced dishes like ginger and soy salmon. Ready to drink now.

Ready, but will keep,

This wine is a multi-vintage, multi-varietal blend of younger fruit from the Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma. Thanks to the exceptional attention to detail Morgan Twain-Peterson and his team give the vineyard, the fruit is of amazing quality. Predominately Zinfandel, the wine offers classic aromas of strawberry compôte with fresh fig, dried cranberry and spice notes.
