Between Macon and Lyon, in the heart of the Beaujolais vineyards and at the foot of Mount Brouilly we find this beautifully renovated, magnificent building, located in an exceptional setting in the middle of the vines. Brouilly is very pleasing when young but also drinks well after a few years cellaring.

A pure, pale salmon pink colour with gentle onion skin hues that shine from the glass upon swirling. A fine, delicate nose with floral blossom, peach, fresh citrus, and hints of red fruit lead to a classic fresh and bright palate, a spritely acidity balanced with wild strawberry, raspberry, and stone fruit notes.

From a Premier Cru Classe Sauternes property, Chateau Guiraud are developing a reputation for their exceptional organic dry wines. A blend of 50% Sauvignon and 50% Semillon with 80% barrel fermentation and 7 month oak and lees aging.

Intense cherry red in colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries are married with spicy notes of liquorice and chocolate and subtle floral hints. On the palate, velvety tannins give a silky mouthfeel and a crisp acidity carries the flavours onto the spicy finish.

The top wine from Casa Silva, a blend of Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Shiraz. Many layers of Cassis, Cocoa and chocolate fruit. Top Drop!

The 2013 is another excellent LBV from Taylors. Plummy jam and hints of blackcurrant on the nose, with a rich palate of dark cherry and stewed fruits.

The best Cremant d'Alsace we have found! Bruno Sorg Senior has long produced this excellent creamy, citrus fizz from Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. All elderflower and elegance.

Pale yellow with a beautiful sheen. Nose: Intense with light aromas of passion fruit, peach and citrus. Palate: Harmonious and predominantly floral with a mixture of light peach and citrus aromas, wrapped in lovely minerality on the finish.

Nose of laurel, rosemary and something fresh, almost thyme, then an explosion of black fruits (blackberry, candied cherry). Light oak adds a perfect complexity. The mouth is powerful, bulky. It is nicely tannic but the tannins are a well coated relief.

Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay from its inception for 25 years and instrumental in the international recognition which Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc enjoys now. The name 'Greywacke' was adopted by Kevin for his first Marlborough vineyard located in Rapaura.
