Red: GRAN CERDO TEMPRANILLO, Rioja Region, Spain - In the end Gran Cerdo is all about the purest expression of fruit with whole bunch fermentation, no filtration, no stabilization and minimal sulphites. The wine has real character, all the juicy elements of Tempranillo, with no oak to mask its charm. With its cherry-red, purplish, brilliant colour, Gran Cerdo reveals primary notes of fresh fruit, strawberries, raspberries, cherries and violets with clean mineral tones from the granite. This little natural wine is phenomenal value.
Red: ANTICA ENOTRIA, VINO ROSSO, Puglia, Italy - Enotria Vino Rosso is a blend of mainly Nero di Troia with Sangiovese, Montepulciano – Bright and juicy, red fruit and violet on the nose leading to ripe forest fruit and fresh red cherries on the palate. Soft texture with firm but ripe tannins on the finish. Great with anything tomato and cheese based and also with anything chargrilled and smoky too, meat or veg. based.
Red: CHATEAU TIRE PÉ DIEM, Bordeaux, France - Tire Pé Diem is a Merlot harvested by hand and de-stemmed. Each plot is picked and fermented separately. The grapes undergo a short 8 to 12 day cool maceration for a soft extraction. The wine is aged for eight to ten months in concrete tanks, after which the wine is bottled unfined, with super light filtration. Buoyant and fruity on the palate, Diem is packed with juicy red currant, crushed plum and sweet herbs. This is a pretty red with an easy fruity profile and a lingering finish.
Red: SANTA DUC LES PLANS, Rhône, France - Les Plans is a blend of Grenache (50%), Syrah (20%), Merlot (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) and 5% other varietals. It is blended from Grenache and Merlot grown on estate-owned plots, mainly in Roaix, with some purchased fruit. This is an authentic, full-flavoured Southern Rhone wine, a touch rustic, but with real power and complexity.
White: CANTINA TOLLO, TREBBIANO Bio - Certified Organic
From the award-winning Cantina Tollo, one of the best co-operative wineries in the Abruzzo region. This delicate, fragrant wine was made from organically grown grapes, harvested by hand on gently rolling, sunny hills in Abruzzo.
Pale straw yellow in colour with greenish tinges. Since it is not filtered, it might have some slight veiling. The fragrance is fruity, with subtle floral and mineral notes, while the flavour is medium-bodied, delicate and savoury with an almondy finish. Excellent as an aperitif and with all seafood dishes, white meats and fresh cheeses.
White: JUDITH BECK, WEISSBURGUNDER (PINOT BLANC), Burgenland, Austria - Picked by hand,Weissburgunder (aka Pinot Blanc) is matured for 6 months in oak casks on the entire lees and is fragrant and refreshing. Pale golden-yellow colour, refreshing aromas of citrus, pears and white peaches. Full-bodied and well structured on the palate with balanced fruit, acidity and a long finish. It is showing a bright lemon yellow in colour, with youthful green hints. Aromas of fresh green apples are accompanied by an attractive spiciness. Exotic fruit and ripe citrus flavours perfectly balance this wine's refreshing acidity.
