Selection
Decero 2017 Remolinos Vineyard Malbec
Violet, red cherry and raspberry aromas lead a silky, medium-bodied Malbec, with darker berry fruit and subtle spice adding depth. Fresh acidity gives the wine a fine backbone, while supple tannins keep its ripe character polished and balanced. The finish is elegant, gently savoury and persistent. Serve with grilled beef, lamb, empanadas or roasted mushrooms.
Chateau Maucoil 2019 Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Sun-warmed strawberry and red cherry lead, sharpened by cassis and blackberry and layered with brambly herbs. The palate is richly concentrated and penetrating, yet zesty and vibrant, with dark fruit, spice and savoury depth held by fine, tautly composed tannins. Generous in scale but balanced, finishing with freshness and precision.
Monchhof 2019 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett
Light-footed yet intensely expressive, with ripe citrus, yellow peach and orchard fruit carried by a fine mineral edge. The palate is vibrant and zesty, balancing gentle sweetness with mouthwatering acidity and a precise, almost weightless texture. Fruit and wet-stone notes linger on the clean finish. Serve lightly chilled with spicy dishes, roast pork or soft cheese.
Castell 2021 Silvaner Trocken
Ripe peach and lime lead the nose, lifted by a subtle note of peppermint. The palate is harmonious and classically dry, with clear fruit, generous texture and present acidity carrying a clean line from start to finish. Fresh without feeling sharp, it suits asparagus, freshwater fish or simply prepared vegetable dishes.
Fürstlich Castell 2021 Weissburgunder
Domdechant Werner 2018 Hochheim Guts-Riesling Trocken
Orange blossom gives the nose a clear floral lift, leading into a palate that feels both tightly drawn and quietly creamy. Citrus provides the central line of flavour, bringing freshness and definition as the wine opens. The finish lingers with a clean saline edge, leaving a poised, refreshing impression.
Robert Weil 2018 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese
Intense ripe apricot, peach and mango set a generous tone, but the palate stays remarkably precise. Bright acidity cuts through the concentrated fruit, while lemon zest, mint and a salty mineral edge add definition. Lush yet poised, it finishes fresh, piquant and exceptionally long, with ample energy for further development.
Domaine de l’Enclos 2023 Chablis Premier Cru La Fourchaume
Ripe orchard fruit opens with an inviting sense of richness. Full and softly enveloping on the palate, it carries its fruit with measured weight while a clear mineral line keeps the profile composed. The texture is generous without becoming heavy, and the flavours linger through a persistent, harmonious finish. A poised match for scallops, lobster, roast poultry or creamy mushroom dishes.
Remoissenet Père & Fils 2018 Meursault Premier Cru Poruzots
Pear, orange oil and white flowers lead with a restrained note of clear honey. The palate is medium-full and layered, combining ripe orchard fruit with cool mineral detail and a subtle touch of oak. Fresh citrus keeps the structure poised, carrying the Chardonnay through a long, complex and quietly generous finish.
Fauvin 2019 Chenas Cuvee Selene Magnum
Redcurrant, vanilla and peony meet in an intense, silky red with enough structure to carry its generous fruit. Partial ageing in new oak brings polish and complexity without obscuring the freshness of Gamay. Drink now or hold for several years, and serve with pigeon, feathered game, roast duck, mushroom dishes or a red-fruit tart for a more unexpected pairing.
Maison Roche de Bellene 2002 Collection Bellenum Beaune Premier Cru Les Greves
Fully evolved and savoury, with dried cherry, raspberry and prune framed by leather, forest floor and soft spice. The palate is graceful rather than heavy, its mature fruit carried by fine structure and a gently earthy finish. Serve cool and allow sediment to settle before pouring; it suits roast duck, mushroom dishes, game birds or aged soft cheese.
Croft 2011 Vintage Port
Blueberry, ripe dark berries and violet lead a deeply scented bouquet, with rock rose, blue slate and a touch of leather adding complexity. Full-bodied and velvety, the palate balances luscious fruit with fresh acidity and firm, integrated tannins. Long, structured and energetic, it finishes with floral and mineral lift. Pair with Stilton or dark chocolate.
d’Arenberg The Nostalgia Rare Tawny NV
Walnut, toasted almond and mature rancio notes open into dried pear, apple and fig, with cinnamon, toffee and marmalade adding warmth. The palate is sweet, concentrated and velvety, balancing caramel richness with seasoned oak and a savoury nutty edge. Long and layered through the finish, it works beautifully with blue cheese or almond desserts.
Quinta do Noval 1963 Vintage Port
At full maturity, the colour has softened to translucent ruby-tawny. Sweet strawberry and orange aromas lead into an elegant, balanced palate, where warm spice, a dry core and fine remaining tannins keep the fruit poised. The finish is long and gently warming. Bottle variation is possible at this age, so stand upright and decant carefully before serving.
Taylor Fladgate 1966 Vintage Port
Violet and ripe fig lead an elegant, fresh bouquet, joined by tobacco, cedar, pear and dried apricot. The palate is remarkably balanced, placing concentrated fruit within a firm mineral and tannic frame. Lively acidity keeps the texture poised, and the flavours continue with clarity through a long finish. Decant carefully and serve with blue cheese or walnuts.
Taylor Fladgate 2009 Vintage Port 375 mL
Inky black with a purple rim, opening on concentrated woodland fruit, raspberry and plum. Citrus blossom, mint and lavender lift the dense core, while a mineral edge adds definition. The palate is powerful and richly fruited, supported by thick, sinewy tannins that draw the wine into a long, tightly structured finish. Decant carefully before serving with blue cheese.
