A wonderful Burgundian style Pinot Noir from a producer who carefully select fruit from Marlborough's top organic single vineyards to produce wines of great elegance and complexity. An aromatic, savoury nose with notes of damson plum, dark berry, forest floor, nori, peppercorns, salami and salted, black liquorice.

This is Puglian wine at its best, with great character and warmth, and a 'friendliness' sometimes lacking from its northern Italian cousins. It has delicious spiciness, complexity and pure fruit intensity, with ultra-plush, velvety texture. There are layers of ripe black cherry and blueberry fruit, and everythin

Handcrafted, traditional & unhurried are the key watchwords of Grangehurst Winery and their flagship wine is a blend of three Bordeaux varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The vineyards are located on the coastal part of Stellenbosch and the quality of the grapes is positively influenced by the cool southerly summer sea breezes that blow across False Bay. With over 15 years of bottle age, the Grangehurst is wonderfully smooth and complex. Vivino Ra

The Beauroy site – the ‘climat’ – has Premier Cru status, and with its fine mix of limestone-rich soils, it gives wines that are fresh, clean and mineral-soaked. Sylvain Mosnier produces traditionally styled wines – no new oak here – that drink well young but which have the capacity to age and develop in bottle.
