Contino 2012 Rioja Gran Reserva
Contino Gran Reserva is a harmonious wine, with a great balance between silkiness and roundness in the mouth. On the nose it is fragrant, reminiscent of ripe black fruit, with floral and balsamic notes that provide freshness. All well balanced with subtle toasted notes from its ageing in barrel. On the palate it is fine, subtle, with pleasant tannins and perfect acidity, which make it a persistent wine with a long finish.

Chatelet 2018 Moulin A Vent
A bold and structured Cru Beaujolais, offering aromas of dark cherries, ripe plums, and blackberries, with earthy undertones of forest floor and spices like black pepper and cloves. On the palate, it delivers rich dark fruit flavors, firm tannins, and a robust, mineral-driven backbone, balanced by refreshing acidity. The wine has a long, lingering finish with hints of spice and savory herbs, making it a complex and age-worthy expression of Gamay.
Springfield 2016 Meth Ancienne Cabernet
Thirty-five years ago, Springfeld cleared a 2.8-hectare triangle of land previously ignored because it was not ‘good’ enough - "too rocky and too steep".
Cabernet Sauvignon was planted, struggling at first with virtually no soil. The miracle was in the fruit: tiny berries – intense in colour and flavour, this meagre crop was vinified in the traditional way. No crushing of berries, native yeast only, no fining and no filters.
Wine was made with little intervention and kept for two years in new French barriques. After three more years of maturation in bottle, Springfield releases their top wine. It is a piece of their history, their passion and labour. It is their finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, and will age effortlessly for another two decades.
