"Stellar old vine Carignan that is supple, savoury and deeply gorgeous. Yves Falmet's varietal selections from his extraordinary single bank of vines in Creissan, Saint-Chinian go from strength to strength. Make sure you check them all out". Stewart Travers, Senior Buyer

A junior version of Barolo and Barbaresco: priced accordingly, and a much better bet than lower-end versions of those greats. Langhe Nebbiolo occupies an interesting legal status in that it is the only appellation available for top Barolo and Barbaresco to downgrade or declassify their wines, therefore offcuts and lesser batches end up in their Langhe wine at a cheaper price. This example is classic: pale, leathery, dried fruits and flowers, a pinot-like delicacy and savoury layering. Charming dinner wine, let it breathe for an hour or so before drinking.

Fruity, brambly and supple, this distinctly Argentinian Malbec will impress with generous lashing of plum, blackberry and hints of vanilla spice.About the winery Bodega Sottano was founded in 1890 by Mr. Fioravante Sottano who settled in Mendoza after moving from Italy. Today the estate is a byword for quality, modern Mendoza wines that express a delicious sense of place.

Very solid GSM from Torbreck! Intense plum, cherry and black earth with smoke and vegetal overtones. Great fruit intensity! Hand-picked Grenache, Mourvedre and Shiraz (65%/10%/25%) from the Barossa Valley. Basket pressed for lush and concentrated red berries, smoked meat and sweet cake spices.

100% Cinsault from 130+ year old vines. Extraordinary wine.

Glorious old vine Mourvedre from the wonderful Yves Falmet (who is as vegan as his wines). Yves has a single, steep vineyard of old vine varieties planted in southern Saint-Chinian. Mourvedre cannot be used 100% and be called Saint Chinian, so this is a Vin de France. Silky, fine and long, with vibrant fruit, great balance and perfect ripeness. An amazing value wine. "Yves Falmet is doing something so special that people should be sitting up and taking notice. I’m becoming convinced that he is making some of the most elegant wines in the Languedoc. His 2020 Mourvèdre is yet another confirmation of his almost wizard-like ability to make a cashmere silky, jewelled-fruit wine out of a grape that I usually find stomps in heftily, wearing a scowl, muddy steel-toe-cap boots and thick dark canvas overalls, smoking a Gauloises, smelling of farmyard and uttering not much in an unintelligible mutter. This wine smells of jasmine, violet and pomegranate molasses. Sure, there is a lick of smoke, but it’s folded into deeply sweet dark fruit – blueberry, black fig, blackberry – and a sheath of tissue-paper-and-600-thread-cotton-textured tannins". Very Very Good Value. Tamlyn Currin on jancisrobinson.com 17.5/20 jancisrobinson.com

Outstanding. Floral, herbal and gorgeous bright red and black fruit on the nose, The palate is divine with it's exquisite purity and balance. Great at the table with both savoury and sweet dishes. Published on decanter.com June 2022: Domaine des Soulanes, Grenat, Maury, Languedoc-Roussillon, France 2021 93/100 "Super ripe and fruity aromas, piles of cherries, plums and currants. Mouth-watering and succulent, with great freshness encircling the sweetness. The fortification is well integrated and it has tempting structural tannins and good freshness, making it very vinous. A great wine to experiment with food pairings across the spectrum of courses - from savoury to sweet". Drinking Window 2022 - 2035

A pure fruited, natural wine without additional sulphites. Shimmering fruit backed up by gorgeous savouriness and delightful floral notes - this is a real star for those who like a little restraint and class in their glass (only 13% abv). This is an utterly delicious take on Côtes du Rhône with Syrah leading the way backed up by Carignan and then Grenache. Beautiful balance and real elegance. Vigneron Frederic Julien has some talent!

Big and fruity this wine packs a punch! Enjoy and have some fun with this with some charcuterie.

Tasting notes: Low intensity red colour. Red fruits and herbs aromas. Light and fresh on the mouth, medium acidity, with long tannins. Easy to enjoy wine.

This Roboul cuvée exudes lifted fruit aromas in abundance with blackberries, blueberries, pomegranates and also gentle garrigue notes. On the palate it is velvety with curious, beautiful interest. There is a perfect balance between alcohol and acidity and it ends with a striking freshness. It's a marvelous wee wine. Full bottle 1,341 g. Single vineyard. 60% Mourvèdre (20 years old), 40% Grenache (30 years old) on pudding stone, clay, sand and limestone tuffeau. Hand-picked; whole-bunch, spontaneous fermentation; minimal cap work; very gently pressed. Fermented separately because the Mourvèdre ripens so much later than the Grenache. 12 months in old oak barrels of 600, 500 and 400 litres. "If I’d not known what this wine was, and put it to my nose, my first guess would be Pinot Noir, Tasmania. Rosehips. Nectarine skin. Hibiscus tea. Morels. Then, after tasting it, I’d change my mind. I’d wonder if this was Cinsault, one of Alex Milner’s wraith-like beauties, perhaps: the bruised rose petals, the jasmine tea, the taste of prickly pears and dust and pungent-peppery-green at the back of my throat. Then I smell garrigue - cistus, broom heather, wild thyme, the smell of the wind blowing through holm oaks and twisted pines and I am in the south of France. This is the fey child of Roussillon. This is a wine that dances in the thin places". Very Good Value. Tamlyn Currin on jancisrobinson.com 18/20 jancisrobinson.com

This wine is ruby red in colour, with youthful highlights. On the nose, fragrant fruit with prominent notes of dark cherries and fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varieties of this appellation. This Valpolicella is impressively lively and playful on the palate, whilst exhibiting delicacy and finesse at the same time.

Old vines planted on volcanic soils of the slopes of Mt. Vulture in Basilicata, up to 800m. Intense, rather wild.

The concentrated 2020 East Bench Zinfandel shows these younger vines really starting to hit their stride. The bright varietal aromas have been joined by a spicy note, and the signature Ridge texture, generous but precise, is already in evidence.

Part of the world-famous Hess Collection of Napa. Inky, lifted, jewel-bright, no hint of over-sweetness, proper meat wine. Vegan, sustainable.

Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch. Young, bright, natural, vibrantly juicy quaffer from Pittnauer, one of Austria's most exciting Natural/Biodynamic small family growers.

Abundant red cherry, plum and vibrant berry fruits combine in this joyful, bright and incredibly juicy red that's medium-bodied with beautifully ripe and light tannins and touch of spice on the finish.

Vibrant and juicy nose of fresh blackberry with a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is rich and juicy.

Halliday 93/100 "combines heft with restraint and that's its key. Black coal, redcurrant, blackberry, clove... a hearty red wine to sit down and settle in with."

Our house Malbec now for over 10 years. Simply nothing like it at this price. Great wine.

96 points Tim Atkin 95 Points “Best Cabernet Franc from Chile “Again, the cooler vintage seems to have favored the 2013 Franco, which came through as complex, compact, powerful and elegant. This time it's not a pure varietal, as it contains some 6% Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend. This is a Cabernet Franc all about finesse but with enough power and character. It's very floral and exuberant”, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, 28th Apr 2017
