This month’s Decanter Magazine features recommendations by Steven Spurrier for three wines from Lea & Sandeman:
2013 LA NO脡 Sur Lie C么tes de Grand Lieu Domaine de L’Aujardiere
Grapes: Melon de Bourgogne
Origin: France, Loire聽 Sub-district: Muscadet
Vineyard: C么tes de Grand Lieu聽 ABV: 12%
‘Eric Chevalier, famous for having saved the region’s Fi茅-Gris vines, has made this floral yet beautifully precise Muscadet from a granite outcrop in the Pays de Retz. Superb.’ Steven Spurrier
Pricing:聽 拢11.95 or 拢10.95*
2012 RIOJA ALAVESA Sierra de Tolo帽o
Grapes: Tempranillo
Origin: Spain, Rioja聽 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.’聽 Steven Spurrier
Pricing: 拢13.95 or 拢11.95*
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:聽 拢13.95聽 or聽 拢12.95*
