More artisan, low intervention wines, all the way from Yarra Glen, Australia; Colchagua and Maule Valleys in Chile, Mendoza, Argentina and the Loire Valley… here’s the list:
Anjou blanc ‘Haut de la Garde’, Pierre-Bise: A racy, mineral, Savennières-like Chenin blanc
Cheverny rouge, Clos du Tue Boeuf: Thierry Puzelat’s light, red berry scented Gamay – Pinot Noir from the Loire
Le P’tit Tannique Coule Bien, Puzelat-Bonhomme: Another Loire natural wine from Puzelat’s stable; as original and digestible as always
Cinsault ‘Quella’, Louis Antoine Luyt: A Chilean Cinsault, natural, full-bodied, unfiltered and pure fruited
Carignan Reserva , Villalobos ‘Wild Vineyards’: Carignan from Chile? ... Yes, from wild, almost untended vineyards and only 12% by vol.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Familia Cecchin: From our favourite organic estate in Mendoza, Argentina; Classic Cabernet with lovely natural freshness
Carignan, Familia Cecchin: And another South American Carignan for good measure, round and mellow, sweetly-fruited and full-on flavoured
Bobar Syrah, Tom and Sally Belford: Organic Syrah from Australia, Beaujolais-style carbonic maceration, and only 12%. Quite different
