A blend of two vineyard parcels, Les Planchots and Les Pimentiers, yields a unique combination. While one boasts stony, well-draining soil, the other features a clayey, less profound terrain. The vines, with an average age surpassing 60 years, and some exceeding 90 years, bear modest yields. However, their grapes are distinguished by remarkable ripeness and intense aromatic concentration. Taste With a medium intensity colour, the Savigny-Lès-Beaune of the Domaine Decelle & Fils offers an ele

The De Nariz Monastrell is a bold, full-bodied red that showcases the depth and character of Yecla’s unique terroir. Produced by Vinos de Nariz, a boutique winery known for its commitment to sustainable practices and minimal intervention, this wine reflects the essence of the Monastrell grape. With its rich dark fruit flavours and subtle spice, it’s a perfect expression of the region’s signature style. Ideal for those who appreciate wines with power, balance, and a true sense of place.

A rich, sun-drenched blend of six native Puglian grapes, showing dark plum, liquorice and wild herb notes. Generous yet focused, with supple tannins and just enough freshness. Proof that Puglia can do complexity as well as power. Vivino Rating 4.3 (April 2025) Taste The Cignomoro 6 Anime Puglia Rosso has a gorgeous, deep colour from which rise aromas of super ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, cherry, plums, and spicy, toasty vanilla oak. Powerful and intense, even at this tender age, it's soft a

94 Points - The Wine Journal. The Lou Miranda Estate Centenarian Old Vine Shiraz is a piece of Australian wine history. It is produced in minuscule quantities from fruit from their Church block which was established in 1907. These precious old vines are planted on their original rootstocks, not grafted onto American ones as is the norm today, and are afforded royal treatment. Dry grown rather than irrigated, and hand-tended at every stage of their development to ensure each vintage meets the exa

92 Points - Wine Spectator. The second label of Rocca di Frassinello, this bold yet elegant blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot brings together Italian character and French finesse. Rich and well-structured, it showcases depth, balance, and ageing potential. Recognised early for its quality, it earned a spot in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 by its fifth vintage.

92 Points - Jane Anson. Bordeaux's Saint Estephe is littered with undiscovered gems, and the Chateau Segur de Cabanac is one of our favourites. Being heavy on Cabernet Sauvignon, it enjoyed a hugely successful 2016, producing a 92-point wine according to leading critic Jane Anson. Rich and spicy with a lovely depth of flavour, bottle age has brought harmony and finesse to this cracking wine.   Vivino Rating: 4.2 (Oct 2025) Wine Press Ratings 92 Points - Jane Anson (2016 Vintage) 91 Points - Wine

91 Points - Wine Spectator.Dave Phinney doesn’t make wines that whisper — even his Sauvignon Blanc has something to say. Blank Stare takes a grape known for its precision and dresses it in Californian attitude. A portion fermented in oak adds depth and texture, while fruit from Sonoma and the Russian River Valley keeps things bright and racy. It’s Sauvignon with swagger — bold, aromatic and just the right side of indulgent. Vivino Rating 4.0 (Sept 2025) Wine Press Ratings 91 Points - Wine Specta

Lebeau-Batiste Brut Tradition is a beautifully crafted grower Champagne, aged on its lees for over two and a half years to build complexity and depth. The blend also includes 20% reserve wines from previous standout vintages – a hallmark of quality that adds richness rarely found in non-vintage Champagne. Taste Pale gold in the glass with fine, pearlescent bubbles, this wine opens with inviting aromas of white berries, citrus peel and warm almond croissants. The palate is rounded and generous, l

Situated in an enviable small enclave among the classified growths of Saint-Julien, 5 hectares of vines are surrounded by the grand crus classés of Leoville Barton, Gruaud Larose, Beychevelle and Talbot. "The Château Moulin de la Rose Saint-Julien is a wonderful showing. It instantly starts off with aromas of red and dark berries woven together with flowers, spices, new leather and toast all unwinding in the glass.

Villa Mangiacane Aleah Toscana IGT 2019 is a true expression of Tuscan Merlot, blending intensity and finesse with a persistent, well-balanced palate. Crafted by an estate rich in history and artisanal dedication, this wine exemplifies limited, high-quality production and has quickly gained critical and community acclaim.

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

94 Points - The Wine Independent. Dave Phinney doesn’t really do subtlety — and Mannequin is a classic example of that unashamed Californian swagger. This is Chardonnay dialled up to eleven: bold, textured and unapologetically hedonistic. Sourced from some of Napa and Sonoma’s best sites, it’s a wine that manages to marry power and polish without ever tipping into excess. Think of it as California sunshine in liquid form — but with the complexity and balance that Phinney’s meticulous blending al

93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS. 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. Medium-bodied, with plush fruit but still a seriously structured wine with layered tannins. Wine Press Ratings 93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS (2021 Vint

The stunning 2023 vintage benefited all the wines of Chablis, but more so to the vineyards of Sylvain Mosnier who took full advantage of the opportunity to produce this crisp Petit Chablis which is drinking beautifully now. Balanced aromas of citrus and wet stones are followed by a fruity, tangy palate, with a subtle tang of salinity and apple skin freshness towards the finish. Perfect on its own or to enjoy with white fish or meats.  Wine Press Ratings 90 Points - Gilbert et Gaillard | Double G

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

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

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.

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

'Vol de Nuit' is a pure expression of the Carignan grape variety from a selection of 3 very old parcels of vines dating back to 1900. The result is a wine with a very deep colour and an explosion of fruit, black cherry and spice. Simply wonderful!  About the Producer A story that began when, in 1816, Raymond Amiel won the deeds to this property from the Bishop of Perpignan over a game of cards. Then a mere 10 hectares, the fortunes of the estate have waxed and waned over the ensuing 200 years. W

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

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

The Shiraz gives it its wonderfully deep colour and black berry fruit, the Grenache adds plump, overripe cherries and the Mataro provides the backbone.

Lortum Riche Vineyards Proprietary Red Blend 2022 is the embodiment of Paso Robles richness and Napa-style sophistication, seamlessly uniting lush dark fruit, spice, plush texture, and polished structure.
