Selection
Marquis D’alesme Margaux 2018
$154.9955% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aging in 65% new oak
96 Points, Robert Parker: Deep purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with bold, expressive black cherries, warm plums, crème de cassis and red roses scents with touches of baking spices, potpourri and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich and opulent, it completely fills the palate with hedonic black fruit preserves and spices, framed by firm, velvety tannins and finishing with fantastic length.
95 Points, Wine Spectator: Gorgeous mouthfeel right from the first sip, with a velvety, fine-grained texture that lets the range of dark plum, black currant and blackberry fruit flavors splay out without losing focus, while mouthwatering black tea, alder and mineral notes wait gracefully in reserve, showing just a hint, for now, of what they can do on the finish.
Real Agrado Rioja Crianza 2017
$34.99Garnacha (50%) and Tempranillo (50%)
Clean, bright purple-red colour. Lovely aromas of red and blackberries against a background of roasted notes, anise and cocoa. Very friendly and balanced in the palate, showing good structure and volume but fresh and lightly spicy as well. Smooth and delicious.
Real Agrado Rioja Blanco 2021
$21.99100% Viura
Clean, bright yellow straw colour. Hints of tropical fruits, peach skin, white flowers (orange blossom) and light herbal notes. Fresh and crisp on the palate, with subtle citrus notes and good persistency.
Real Agrado Rioja Tinto 2020
$22.99Garnacha (80%) and Tempranillo (20%).
Bright purple red colour, with intense aromas of violets, blueberries and strawberries. Yummy and fresh in the palate where again the fruity notes are vibrantly present.
Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
$129.99Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.
Reverdito Barolo Castagni 2016
$99.99Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 6,000 bottles
Soil: Marl & Limestone
Castagni vineyard lies at an altitude of 370 to 450 metres above sea level. Given the near perfect vintage, the 2016 Castagni offers beautiful drinking now but will most certainly reward cellaring. Incredible value for money here in such a pricey and sought after vintage. Lots of typical dark morello cherry and forest fruit, sweet spice and leather with a more savoury, smoky finish and firm but rounded tannins. This is a remarkably harmonious young Barolo.
Verrier Et Fils Cuvee Tradition Brut 375ml
$32.99 – $139.9975% Meunier, 20% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Noir
Aged in Cellar 4 Years before Release
The nose opens with a welcoming intensity and delicious tones of almonds and cherries that develops into darker berries and pastries.
The palate is effervescent yet robust. Well-structured tannins flesh out the perfectly balanced acidity, with notes of grapefruit and apple, and ending with a lingering finish that will have you reaching for another glass.
Les Deesses Muettes Merlot 2021
$19.99Beautiful red color. Intense nose of cherry and blackcurrant. Fruit-driven mouthfeel displaying the rich aromas perceived on the nose. Long and elegant finish. Great with roasts, white meats, mixed salads, soft cheeses.
