    Grapes: Tempranillo
    ABV: 14.5%
    Style: Smooth Fruity Red
    Fewer than 13,000 bottles are made annually of this rich, and full-bodied Tempranillo from Cigales, a relatively small DO, located to the north of the Duero river between the more well known regions of Rueda, and Ribera del Duero. 12 months ageing in American oak barrels gives this wine a highly aromatic intensity, fruit, spice and wonderfully integrated oak nuances.  Taste Deep red colour, on the nose a rich intensity, with notes of dark fruit, spice and oak. On the palate it is well structured

    97 Points - Falstaff. Gruaud Larose is Bordeaux wine royalty. The label bears the inscription, 'The wine of kings, the king of wines' and in spectacular vintages such as 2018 it's hard to argue with this. The Wine Advocate awarded it 95-97, one of the highest scores Gruaud Larose has ever managed, and with some bottle aging it's clearly showing that the final score will be at the upper end of this. Open and let it breathe for a few hours and expect a massive, exotic, powerful mouthful of Bordeau

    93 Points - Wine Enthusiast. The Chateau Bouscaut 2018 is one of the stars of the magnificent 2018 Bordeaux vintage. In common with its Grand Cru Classe peers, the Chateau Bouscaut 2018 is a rich, ripe, succulent wine that exudes style and class. Drinking well now, its bouquet is full of smoked black fruits, dusty minerals, cherries and Chinese spices. The palate is medium-bodied, multi-layered, broad and packed with blackcurrant, plum, earth notes, and highlights of red berries. The tannins are

    The Petit Manou is another great example of the value of buying second wines in great Bordeaux vintages. The Petit Manou 2018 is the second wine of the 91-point Clos Manou 2018, and it shares many of its big brother's qualities, being big, bold, well-extracted and packed with black and red fruits backed by notes of cedar, mocha and minerals. At its drinking peak now, enjoy this with grilled meats, creamy cheeses, tomato-based dishes or as a satisfying solo sipper. Vivino Rating: 4.0 (Apr 2025) A

Showing the ripeness that was this glorious vintage's signature, the La Chapelle de Bages Pauillac 2018 is now drinking well and offers plush blackcurrant, cherry, and plum fruit, pencil lead, cigar box, and crunchy mineral touches. Scoring a whopping 92 in Falstaff Magazine, this is a wine to buy by the case and enjoy over the coming de

    91 Points - James Suckling. Second wines in great years have always been a great way for Bordeaux wine lovers to enjoy something special without breaking the bank. The Petit Corbin-Despagne Saint-Emilion 2018 is a prime example of this. The second wine of the Grand Cru Classe, Chateau Grand Corbin-Despagne, it shares much of its big brother's class and style, but being made from younger vines it's approachable young. Leading critic James Suckling gave the Petit Corbin-Despagne Saint-Emilion 2018

    Style: Rich Full Red
    The Crudabendita Gran Reserva is one of Ribera del Duero’s increasingly rare finds — a wine of serious structure and provenance that still offers exceptional value. With prices in the region climbing steadily, driven by both rising demand and standout vintages like 2018, this is a welcome reminder that quality and accessibility can still go hand in hand. Taste Aged for 38 months in French and American oak, followed by two years in bottle, this is a deeply structured, classically styled Ribera

    92 Points - Tim Atkin MW. Inspired by the world-renowned wines of the famed ‘Right Bank’ of Bordeaux’s Garonne River, the vision of De Toren Z originated, followed by the maiden vintage release in 2004. The exact same quality, precision and winemaking philosophy that De Toren is so well known for, would be used to craft an equal for the Left-Bank, De Toren Fusion V. This complementary Right-Bank Bordeaux styled wine is today better known as the eminent, De Toren Z. Vivino Rating: 4.4 (Mar 2025)

The 2018 scored 94 from Robert Parker, cementing its reputation as a wine to be compared with the likes of Vega Sicilia and Pingus. Made exclusively from Tinto Fino, the local name for Tempranillo, from a single high-altitude (850m above sea level) vineyard in only great years, since its release in 1991 it has become one of the most sought-after wines in all of Spain.

Foggy Hill is typical of the spectacular, steep, cool climate sites that have helped revolutionise Australian fine wine in recent years. Laying at 350m above sea level on the ancient soils of the Fleurieu Peninsula and cooled by the waters of Victor Harbor and Cape Jervis, it is the perfect spot for producing world-class Pinot Noir. Grapes are hand-harvested with each clone being brought in separately. Chi

    97 Points - Sam King, Wine Orbit. The Lou Miranda Estate in the southern Barossa Valley is blessed with a small block of Mataro (France’s Mourvèdre) that was planted in 1898. These ancient, exceptionally low-yielding vines produce a tiny amount of wine – a yield that was reduced even further in the heat of the brilliant 2018 vintage. The little that was made was blended with Shiraz to create one of the best premium Australian red wines. Post-fermentation it was given three years ageing in season

No ordinary Bordeaux Superieur, Chateau Lagrave Paran is nestled on a micro-property spanning approximately 3.5 hectares, this under-the-radar winemaker lavishes each vine with the utmost care, resulting in excellent wines year after year.
