2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd White Burgundy by Collovray & Terrier

Domaine des Deux Roches, Ready, but will keep,

After the more hedonistic 2015, our 2016 marks a return to classic, restrained Chardonnay. With delicate floral aromas, the palate abounds with vibrant citrus and peach fruit, finishing on a subtle, smoky note thanks to well-judged oak. An excellent apéritif, its fresh, crisp profile makes this an ideal match for salads, seafood and lighter meat dishes.

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

Add to Wishlist

J L Terrier & C Collovray, Drink now,

The quintessential house white: creamy, with warmth and shards of freshness, like basil leaves, thyme, bay and lemon peel pressed into waxy parchment. Made from Chardonnay, Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc.
Victoria Moore - 40 Best wines under £10 - Daily Telegraph - Feb-2018

The steep slopes of Limoux are in plain view of the Pyrenees and their magnificent terroir is especially kind to white varietals, particularly Vermentino (aka Rolle), Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, the last of which dominates this blend and adds creamy complexity to a citric core, courtesy of an element which has been barrel-fermented.

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

Add to Wishlist

J L Terrier & C Collovray, Drink now,

The rosés from 2016 were a joy to blend, with Merlot and Syrah lending spice and fruit to the core of Cinsault’s soft red fruit and, finally, Mourvèdre, warming and gently savoury, completing the assemblage with real panache, grounding the wine’s ethereal charm with unassuming dignity.

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

Add to Wishlist

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.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Chilean Merlot by Viña Doña Javiera, Maipo Valley

Add to Wishlist

Viña Doña Javiera, Drink now,

On the nose our 2016 Chilean Merlot melds attractive hedgerow aromas with notes of cinnamon spice. Soft, plummy fruit comes to the fore on the palate with layers of intense blackberry fruit. The finish is deliciously rounded, smooth and fresh with a hint of sweet morello cherry. Incredibly versatile and very drinkable, this is quite simply the perfect all-rounder.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Chilean Sauvignon Blanc by De Martino

Add to Wishlist

De Martino, Drink now,

Hailing from vineyards in the Casablanca Valley, a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean, our 2016 Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is made especially for us by De Martino – one of the most progressive producers in South America. The nose is fresh and pure with notes of just-mown grass and green apples, while the palate is vibrant and zesty, with a twist of lime and a touch of tropical kiwi fruit on the finish. This wine is an ideal apéritif.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Pinot Grigio delle Venezie by Nec Otium, Friuli

Add to Wishlist

Nec Otium, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Drink now,

This is classic Pinot Grigio from Friuli-Venezia Giulia made for us by Christian Patat at Necotium. Unoaked, expressing remarkable energy and freshness, the wine displays an attractive clarity, while still embodying the texture and tone expected of 100 percent Pinot Grigio. The nose hints at white peach and orange blossom, while the palate is vivacious on the attack, with floral notes, crisp acidity and peach fruit.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Australian Shiraz by Elderton

Add to Wishlist

Elderton, Ready, but will keep,

The 2016 vintage was superb in the Barossa Valley, enabling Elderton to include 30 percent fruit from the family's prized Greenock vineyard in this special blend. The wine has an enticing nose of blackberries and warm plummy fruit, lifted by an appealing freshness. Soft, supple red and black fruit envelops the palate, while the tannins are smooth and fine.

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

Add to Wishlist

Chateau 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.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Extra Ordinary White by Ch. Villa Bel-Air

Add to Wishlist

Jean-Michel Cazes, Drink now,

Our white Graves is bottled for us by Famille JM Cazes. The quality of the 2016 vintage is evident on the nose, which shows pronounced white peach and melon aromas. The palate shows a wonderful balance of ripe citrus fruit, with a crisp, refreshing finish which is the hallmark of the Graves. The pure, dry finish means this would be perfect with seafood, but its marked complexity will stand up to far richer dishes as well.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Old-Blocks Chenin Blanc by Tierhoek

Add to Wishlist

Tierhoek, Ready, but will keep,

The fruit for this Chenin comes from small blocks planted in the 1970s by Tierhoek, one of the pioneers of the Piekenierskloof. Classic aromas of citrus and orchard fruits emerge on the nose, with undertones of earthy minerality adding another layer of complexity. The palate is bright and zesty, redolent of grapefruit pith and quince. The mid-palate is toned, elegant and concentrated with refreshing acidity. Lively and long on the finish, this wine is truly expressive of its unique terroir.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc by Churton Wines

Add to Wishlist

Churton Wines, Ready, but will keep,

Full of fresh gooseberries, hints of tomato leaf and passion fruit, there is nonetheless an elegant restraint here. The typical Marlborough pungency is held in check by tangy citrus notes and a fine, mineral finish. This is a delicious wine with verve and vibrancy.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Chablis by Domaine du Colombier

Add to Wishlist

Domaine du Colombier, Chablis, Ready, but will keep,

The 2016 vintage is the archetype of “small but perfectly formed”. In spite of the vintage’s challenges (a catastrophic spring frost signifi¬cantly reduced the size of the harvest), the wines are excellent. Blended from three different vineyard sites in the villages of Chichée and Fontenay, this wine has the perfect balance of bright fruit and sizzling mineral precision. Unadulterated by oak, it lends itself to a wide variety of food pairings, including (of course) shell¬fish and seafood dishes.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Eden Valley Riesling by Torzi Matthews Vintners

Add to Wishlist

Torzi Matthews Vintners, Ready, but will keep,

This is the second vintage of our increasingly popular Eden Valley Riesling. The 2016 demonstrates the same crisp, mouth-watering lime character of the previous vintage but with a touch more generosity and roundness. White flowers mingle with yellow peach notes which broaden out on the palate and the finish is long and refreshing. Drink now and enjoy its glorious freshness or keep for two to five years to delight in the complex, toasty character that will undoubtedly shine through.

Olivier Merlin, Ready, but will keep,

A blend from six excellent vineyard sites in the villages of Chaintré and Vergisson, Olivier Merlin has once again worked his magic, producing a wonderful Pouilly-Fuissé. Perfectly weighted stone-fruit flavours combine with a saline minerality and toasty oak notes to give a poised and restrained white Burgundy, one which will pair beautifully with seafood risotto.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir by Crittenden

Add to Wishlist

Crittenden Estate, Ready, but will keep,

We have worked with Crittenden Estate to create this Pinot Noir, a brand new addition to the top tier of our own-label range. The nose is full of juicy red cherry, leading on to a palate of crunchy redcurrants and strawberries. There is an herbaceous twist and a delicious freshness, making it supremely drinkable. Fine tannins add definition while the finish is savoury and long. This is a Mornington Pinot with structure and character, one which will reward patience, yet can also be enjoyed now.

2016 Berry Bros. & Rudd Meursault by Domaine Guyot-Javillier

Add to Wishlist

Domaine Patrick Javillier, Ready, but will keep,

The small but perfectly-formed 2016 vintage in Burgundy delivered wines of crystalline transparency and remarkable freshness. Displaying beguiling notes of wood smoke and white peach on the nose, a hint of ripe apricot on the palate gives a nod to the opulence of Meursault, while the juicy citrus acidity and spicy oak provide a cleansing finish. This is a wine which is more than worthy of its famous name.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chavy, Ready, but will improve,

A blend of 10 different parcels across the appellation of Puligny-Montrachet, this gives a complete picture of the village. With charming white flowers and citrus notes on the nose and a refreshing, crisp palate, this offers all the fine-boned elegance one expects, culminating in a toasty, saline finish. Clean and precise, this is best enjoyed at the table, ideally with seafood risotto.
