Grapes: Melon de Bourgogne
Origin: France, Loire  Sub-district: Muscadet
Vineyard: Côtes de Grand Lieu  ABV: 12%

Eric Chevalier, famous for having saved the region’s Fié-Gris vines, has made this floral yet beautifully precise Muscadet from a granite outcrop in the Pays de Retz. Superb.’ Steven Spurrier

2012 RIOJA ALAVESA Sierra de Toloño

2012-RIOJA-ALAVESA-Sierra-de-Tolono

Grapes: Tempranillo
Origin: Spain, Rioja  District: Rioja Alavesa
ABV: 13%

This is winemaker Sandra Bravo’s first vintage at this new project after stints in Bordeaux, Chianti, Marlborough, California and now Priorat. This shows fresh, almost crunchy Tempranillo fruit from a high vineyard, with natural ripeness and good tannins. Very modern.’  Steven Spurrier

2011 MORELLINO DI SCANSANO Heba Fattoria di Magliano

2011-MORELLINO-DI-SCANSANO-Heba-Fattoria-di-Magliano

Grapes: Syrah, Sangiovese
Origin: Italy, Tuscany Sub-district: Morellino di Scansano
ABV: 13%

Vines planted at 120m facing south towards the sea in the centre of the Morellino DOC. A little Syrah adds spice but no exaggeration to the Maremma’s Sangiovese fruit. This has very natural, even sophisticated flavours.Steven Spurrier

Pricing:  £13.95  or  £12.95*
