The Lezcano-Lacalle Reserva 2019 is a standout 4.3-rated wine on Vivino, hailing from Cigales in Castilla y León. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Tempranillo, it offers a fresh take on the modern Spanish style — polished, expressive, and full of character. The superb 2019 vintage adds an extra layer of finesse, delivering structure, balance and plenty of ageing potential.

Soft, juicy and full of charm, this is Rioja made for relaxed, everyday drinking. Packed with ripe red berries, a touch of spice and just the lightest brush of oak, it’s everything you want from a young Tempranillo — fresh, vibrant and ready to go. No need to overthink it: just uncork, pour, and enjoy with anything from tapas to a midweek roast. Taste Bright ruby in the glass, this young Rioja opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and a touch of violet. The palate is fresh and fruit-

This exquisite Chenin Blanc is the fruit of a solitary hilltop vineyard nestled in the Polkadraai Hills, celebrated for its exceptional Chenin Blanc. Here, ancient vines flourish in rocky granite soils, caressed by the invigorating Cape South Easter winds, resulting in a Chenin Blanc that is not merely a wine but a vivid, mouthwatering revelation, brimming with vitality and charm. Tasting Note This vintage open in body and tight in texture: kelp, citrus creams and apples jump forth. The palate i

93 Points - Decanter. Quintessentially English, only the very best fruit grown at Roebuck's Sussex vineyards is carefully selected for the Classic Cuvée. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, this wine displays wonderful notes of baked apples and stone fruits layered with a biscuity richness. The 2017 growing season started well in the spring with an early budburst, followed by dry, sunny weather in May and June, and a very early flowering – one of the ear

90 Points - James Suckling. The Chateau Pavillon Beauregard hails from Lalande de Pomerol, a commune of Bordeaux that made the most of the fantastic 2019 vintage. Lalande de Pomerol's best wines share many of the characteristics of the wines from its more famous neighbour, while offering great value for money - something no one could accuse Pomerol of doing. The Chateau Pavillon Beauregard 2019 received 90 points from The Wine Independent, and it's easy to see why. With its plump nose of crushed

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Château Fonroque produced an excellent wine in 2017. The 2017 vintage was unusual and not without its challenges. A hard (-6°C) frost on the 28th of April reduced the potential crop significantly as did a lack of rain in the spring. Happily a dry summer and sunny autumn allowed Fonroque to bring in a relatively small, but healthy harvest. The grand vin is a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, a mix that played to the vintage’s strengths. Typically powerful and

Beau Vigne Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 synthesises Napa Valley richness with the precision of French-influenced winemaking, yielding a wine that is both powerful and nuanced. Its concentrated black fruit, elegance, and critical acclaim make it a flagship example of what boutique mountain-grown Napa Cabernet can achieve.

Elegant, understated, and quietly confident—this is rosé with a real sense of place. The 2024 vintage shows the finesse and freshness that make this a go-to bottle for long summer evenings. Taste Pale salmon pink. Wild strawberries, white peach, and rose petals on the nose, with a touch of garrigue. Crisp, dry and refreshing, with bright acidity and a subtle savoury twist on the finish.

The Moulin des Vrilleres Sancerre Rosé is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grown on fine limestone and clay soils. The limestone imparts a wonderful minerality while the clay adds depth to the finished wine. It’s produced using the saignée method whereby the skins ‘bleed’ a little colour into the wine over a period of around 12 hours. Fermentation temperatures are kept low to protect the delicate aromas, and it's bottled in the spring to capture its vibrancy. Taste Beautiful smoked salmon pink, the

The Cignomoro Pepe Nero Cuvee Spumante Brut NV is a delicious sparkling wine from the Cignomoro winery.  Cignomoro is a genuinely boutique winery in the heart of Puglia on Italy's southern Adriatic coast.

94 Points - Tim Atkin MW. There were only 5,000 bottles produced of this un-oaked Cabernet Franc, from vineyards situated at over 1,000 metres high. Highly praised by the International Wine Press, this is a medium bodied wine, with a wonderful complexity of herbaceous and dark fruit notes, firm tannins and a fresh acidity.

The Valdivieso Caballo Loco Grand Cru Limari is another of Valdivieso’s flagship wines, one that utilises fruit from their best plantings of Syrah, Carmenere, Malbec, and Pinot Noir grapes. While Limari is one of the finest of Chile’s wine regions, it’s also one of the most inhospitable. Annual rainfall of around 90mm (3.5 inches) combined with poor clay and chalk soils mean that vines struggle and the resulting fruit can be superb. A blend of Syrah, Carmenere, Malbec and Pinot Noir may not soun

The second wine of Château Rouget. The terroirs dedicated to Le Carillon de Rouget are slightly higher than the ones selected for Château Rouget. This, combined with the relative youth of the vines, compared to the ones of the Grand Vin, result in earlier ripening and give the wine its roundness and appealing character.

90 Points - Ray Jordan. Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro (SGM) is an Australian wine classic, and the Lou Miranda Estate Fierce III SGM is one of the very best. 2022 was an great year for the Barossa Valley and the family made the most of the conditions to produce a truly beautiful Australian red wine. The Shiraz gives it its wonderfully deep colour and black berry fruit, the Grenache adds plump, overripe cherries and the Mataro provides the backbone.

Clement Fayat set up his construction business in the 1950’s. Having grown it to the 4th largest in its sector (just behind Bouygues – owners of Chateau Montrose) he decided to follow his passion and began to invest in properties in Bordeaux.

The Chateau de Gourdon Terrasse a l'Ombre is made under the relatively rarely seen Côtes du Rhône Village "Suze-la-Rousse”. A blend of old vine Grenache and Syrah, each plot is harvested individually and several ‘tries’ may be attempted to ensure only perfectly ripe grapes are picked. To ensure the wines reflect the character of the vine and vineyard, they are fermented in stainless steel using natural yeasts.

A benchmark Chilean icon, Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve 2021 showcases the depth and elegance of the Aconcagua Valley.
