1x Portal del Priorat Gotes 2022
A medium-full bodied red wine that channels the spirit of premium Australian Shiraz. Produced in the rugged Priorat region by rising star winemaker Alfredo Arribas, the wine bursts with rich raspberry tart flavors. Despite its robust nature, it offers a surprisingly refreshing and silky-smooth mouthfeel that provides instant gratification in every glass.
1x Pietro Junior Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2021
A luxurious, full-bodied red wine that exemplifies the traditional Valpolicella style. Aged for two years in oak barrels and barriques, it develops complex flavors of intense mocha, black fruits, and tobacco. The unique production method includes 30 days of contact with Amarone marc, resulting in an exceptionally rich and velvety wine.
1x Rully Rouge, Philippe Milan et Fils, Burgundy 2022
A delightful red Burgundy that showcases generous fruit flavors, with pronounced notes of cherry and strawberry. Produced by Karl Milan in the small hamlet of Valotte, this wine follows sustainable farming practices (lutte raisonnée). It offers a long, juicy finish with chewy tannins, providing a sophisticated yet approachable drinking experience.
1x Yves Cuilleron Syrah 'Signe' 2022
A sophisticated Syrah-Viognier blend from the Northern Rhône, created by acclaimed winemaker Yves Cuilleron. The wine is rounded and juicy, brimming with fresh red berry fruits and floral notes. It represents an exceptional expression of the region's winemaking tradition.
1x Chateau Carteau St Emilon Grand Cru
A sophisticated Bordeaux wine with a deep ruby color and an elegant nose. Aromas of dark fruit, toasted bread, and liquorice lead to a smooth palate featuring blackberry, cherry, and cassis. The Bertrand family's meticulous approach ensures a beautifully balanced wine free from over-ripeness or excessive oak.
1x Vertente, Niepoort, Douro Tinto 2020
Vertente is a stunningly elegant and complex wine that beautifully captures the bold fruit and concentration you expect from Douro wines, while still delivering that signature freshness Niepoort is known for. It’s the perfect balance of power and finesse. Most of the grapes come from 60-year-old vines on the right bank of the Douro River, with a smaller portion from 30-year-old vines in the Tedo River Valley at Quinta de Nápoles. The result? A wine that’s bursting with character, yet refined and refreshingly vibrant. An absolute must-try for anyone who loves a bit of depth in their glass.
