Fabre Montmayou Malbec Reserva 2007
Full and Fruity Reds |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 99 ratings [rate] |
Malbec | 14.5% | 2007 | 9.99 | ||||||||||
| This wine has the amazing distinction of being an Argentinean wine, made by a defected Frenchman, that is sold back to the French...in Bordeaux, a very, very rare feat indeed as the French import nothing...ever. So it must be good. Made by Bordeaux-born Herve Fabre from very old vine malbec, some over 100 yrs, so that the concentration is perfect. It has intense focused cherry fruit with spices, underpinned with vanilla and chocolate flavours. | ||||||||||||||||

Devils Peak Special Edition Chenin Blanc 2008
Fragrant but Dry Whites |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 109 ratings [rate] |
Chenin Blanc | 11.5% | 2008 | 7.99 | ||||||||||
| The flagship white grape of the cape with loads of crisp, orchard fruit flavours and a touch of honey. Werner is one of the very best winemakers in South Africa. Working at the super-premium Waterkloof winery he has been 'let loose' and is able to make the wines he wants rather than being tied to a commercial, marketing-driven remit. | ||||||||||||||||

Domaine Andre Brunel Vin de Pays de Vaucluse 2009
Classic Reds |

||||||||||
| Andre Brunel is such a calm, urbane gent that it is of no surprise to taste that his wines have the same kind of careful consideration and reserve that he does. But he's deceptively passionate too, and he pours as much of this passion into each of his wines, from his top Chateauneufs to this great little number. | ||||||||||||||||

Loom Wine Baker's McLaren Vale Blend 2008

Chardonnay | 13.0% | 2008 |
|
||||||||||
| I heartily recommend this wine. It's a ripe and silky blend with enough weight of rich fruit to see off a decent lump of monkfish. Blended from an excellent selection of really great McLaren Vale stock. Sourced from small volume, specialist growers that only Steve Grimley, our Aussie hero, could gather. Of course, I could be biased. This is actually my blend made using what I know about what you like. I'm so confident you'll love it, I even put my name on the label! | ||||||||||||||||

Huge Reds |

Syrah / Shiraz | 14.5% | 2007 | 8.99 | ||||||||||
| Steve Grimley is passionate about working with small growers to produce wines that punch way above their price. Grapes grown on beautiful terra rossa soils lend refinement and class. It has a lovely brambly intensity, kept firmly in check by a bold dash of tannin, and a mint-chocolate spiciness that would go great with beef. | ||||||||||||||||

Sauvignon Blanc | 11.5% | 2008 |
|
||||||||||
| Fresh, zesty citrus fruit bursting with tropical notes and an unerring ability to refresh. This is Sauvignon Blanc at its vibrant best. Made by one of South Africa's greatest, Adi Badenhorst - the talent that made Rustenberg great and much decorated, before he left and set up his own thing - from super-premium hand-selected fruit. Fragrant, precise with a subtle mineral backbone. No, not Adi, the wine! | ||||||||||||||||

Zeferino Molise Falanghina 2008
Fragrant but Dry Whites |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 43 ratings [rate] |
Falanghina | 12.5% | 2008 |
|
||||||||||
| Falanghina is an ancient, exotic grape variety. Molise is the smallest region in Southern Italy. An irresistible combination in my search for the extraordinary. This wine is a crisp, aromatic white, and has great perfume of apricots and citrus. The winemaker, Clemantina Bernardini, took over the vineyard when her father's mid-life crisis led him to enrol as a monk in the Benedictine order. | ||||||||||||||||
