Andre Romero has been described as the superstar of Rasteau by Robert Parker. A classic blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre it has a deep, rich, porgy nose with a dense, weighty palate of dark, gamey fruit.

Made from 100% old vine Tempranillo from the high altitude Rioja Alavesa creating a wine with style and finesse. A deep plum and black fruit palate, accompanied by toasty oak and a black cherry, clove and cinnamon bouquet. A wine with great aging potential.

It’s as explosive, bright and dramatic as the flower the domaine is named after; popping with ripe cherry, wild strawberry, plum, blackcurrant, rosemary and clove. Divine with salt beef and lashings of mustard, rare beef Thai salads, Sunday roasts or homemade tomato sauces.

The domaine of Roger Sabon is as highly rated as any in the Rhone. Sourced from hillside vineyards around the village of Roquemaure it is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre and Carignan. A scented, spicy red fruit nose with a palate of rich fruit with balance and texture.

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.

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.

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.
