New at LEA and SANDEMAN

This red has such an open and inviting personality, it is hard not to fall for it from the first sniff. There is pungency of ripe red and black fruits, glossy and warming, it is filled with sunshine. But the palate plays a beautiful balancing act between rich fruitiness, blackberry, strawb...(read more)

We ended up tasting these wines after quite some line up of new wines and wowsers did they stand up well. Macabeo can sometimes be a little, shall we say, dull, but this version is nothing of the sort. Fresh and with great intensity on the nose of greengage, chamomile, fresh hay and delica...(read more)

Youthful, perhaps, but this is ready to go and an absolute delight a the price, with deep colour, and an inviting spicy fruit nose. The most remarkable element of the tasting at this stage is the suppleness of the cool weight of the wine on the entry - ultra-fine tannins giving real sophis...(read more)

Carnuntum is a very celebrated region within Austria for fine wine production. We are delighted to have met the Artner family who make this brilliant, bright Grüner here. Delicious, pithy green citrus notes hold forth on the attack - and are echoed with a gentle pep on the tongue. Del...(read more)

To say we are excited about having our very own Greek white is an understatement, we are beside ourselves about this beauty. Fragrant with notes of grapefruit, lime and honeysuckle. In the mouth there is a delicious pithy note, delicately saline and chalky, packed with citrus and orange pe...(read more)

Pale and clean as a whistle in the glass. Green hue but bright. Nose is pretty and floral aromatics abound, white sprays of blossom. There is trademark viognier notes of apricot and some intense ripe peach notes too which underpin the more breezy, pretty and delicate bouquet. Once again pa...(read more)

A beautifully pale, delicately structured style that delivers intense strawberry and cherry fruits, floral notes and just a touch of hawthorn. The palate is fresh and supple, lovely red fruit intensity, with an undercurrent of mocha and a bright juicy acidity. Very immediate and undeniably...(read more)

These wines are so of their place, with a distinct perfume of Mediterranean herbs and smoky barbecued meats. This is a rich red, made from Grenache and Syrah, but it never feels heavy and overdone. Savoury, herbal with plum, strawberry, blackberry and ground black pepper. Ripe full tannins...(read more)

Deep colour, full and succulent, stays fresh and with supple mid-palate weight and a fine, direct Médoc character. Refined, but not lacking spice and vigour, this is another excellent Médoc from the Philippe and Gilles Reich, who also make the popular Château Aimée.

Carignan 90% Grenache Noir 10% The old vine Carignan here delivers bags of bramble and spice. This is a classic Languedoc wine, but in a very refined style. Great nose, transports you for a moment to an empty french church with incense and then gorgeous floaty black fruits. The palate has...(read more)

This is the first release of a still 100% Chardonnay from Langham and comes from the outstanding and sunny 2018 vintage. Made thanks to spontaneous fermentation the wine is unfined and unfiltered. On the nose it has aromas of kiwi and melon, with fresh salinity and wet stone on the palate....(read more)

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this release takes advantage of some of the very ripe fruit from the generous 2018 vintage. Really quite surprisingly full and immediately delicious and mouthwatering.
