Winter 12 Bottle 'Signature' Case
Your case will include:
2* Nuovo Quadro Gavi del Comune di Gavi 2021, Piedmont, Italy
An enticing nose of white peach and pear with hints of fresh lime and gooseberry. Fresh and zesty citrus notes and ripe peachy characters are balanced by crisp acidity and mineral notes - leading to a textural, complex finish.
2* Oak Valley Stone & Steel Riesling 2020, Elgin, South Africa
Oak Valley Riesling expresses a fruit basket of aromas, particularly yellow peach, litchi, green apple and watermelon. The palate bursts with flavours of apricots and grapefruit, and is cleansed with a finish of linear acidity. This is a cracking little Riesling, excellent value and just so well balanced and delicious.
2* Tedeschi Capitel San Rocco Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore 2019,Veneto,Italy
Strong ruby red with an ample bouquet of cherry, raspberry and red currant which lends a lovely freshness to the wine. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and well-structured, warm and round with a long-lasting and persistent flavour.
2* Boutinot La Cote Sauvage Cairanne 2019, Rhone, France
A serious, restrained and complex example of cru Cairanne. This is rich, intense and drenched in dark red fruits. With morello cherry and a touch of cinnamon spice on the nose, soft dark plummy fruit, liquorice, chocolate, a hint of black tea on the palate, this wine is full flavoured and smooth with supple tannins. A rich, savoury satisfying mouthful!
2* Wente Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Livermore Valley, California, USA
Aromatics of warm baking spices. On the palate this wine delivers ripe blackberry and fig with round, smooth tannins. Contains a splash of Petite Sirah (aka Durif) and Petit Verdot to add complexity and spice.
1* Leonce Bocquet Crémant de Bourgogne Brut NV, Burgundy, France
Light golden colour with a generous forming a nice cord on the glass. Fine and very expressive on the nose, deliciously fruity with dried fruit (apricots) aromas, citrus notes and a little Viennese pastry. Well-balanced in mouth with a very pleasant and persistent freshness. A great alternative to Champagne.
1* Ginestet Classique Sauternes 2020 (50cl)
A classic botrytis nose; rich in honey and sweet floral tones with hints of citrus marmalade. The palate is rich and smooth with similar sweet floral and honeyed apricot flavours but with a faintly citrus note in the finish which makes it very moreish.
