Max Ferd Richter Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett trocken 2009
€23.95It has wonderfully bright precise fruit and the density of the fruit is well counterbalanced by the confident way the flavour seems to have been carved out of the raw materials. This would make a great bottle to convince doubters of the sheeer quality of Germany’s new generation of assertive dry Rieslings.
A magnificent steep south facing vineyard, the name ‘brown hill’ refers to the iron oxide colour of the slate soil. This iron rich ground produces wines that have a high mineral intensity with very pure fruit yet remaining elegant, Sonnenuhr is pocketed in the middle of the Brauneberg vineyard. It is well sheltered and with its proximity to the river the vines attract botrytis (noble rot). Learn More -
Pegasus Bay Aria 2009
€29.95The Wine has a rich array of aromas and flavours. Impressions of peach and nectarine intermingle with those of guava, passion-fruit, lemon and lime. Honeysuckle and wild-flower honey elements are added by the noble botrytis. It is concentrated and powerful in the mouth but yet refined and elegant. There is a spine of minerality and lively acidity, providing a perfect foil to its lusciousness and drawing out its length. With careful cellaring over the next decade or two other fascinating nuances should develop, including apricot and mandarin-like flavours. Learn More -
Masciarelli Castello di Semivicoli 2007
Regular Price: €33.95
Special Offer: €30.95
Trebbiano can be dull and lifeless; it also produces this wine, which is one of the best whites in Italy! It is layered and smooth and stands up to a wide range of foods and is comparably to fine Burgundy in quality. Learn More -
Sybille Kuntz Riesling Gold-Quadrat Lieser Niederberg-Helden Spätlese dry 2009
€31.95Tropical aromas of ripe, yellow fruits like melon, pineapple and a bit of apricots in the nose, followed by honey and some vanilla. In the taste a very present peach and later cassis. The dry Riesling Spätlese from old vines tastes lively, "minerally", a great mouthfeel, layers and layers of complexity, creamy and gorgeously dry with a very long finish. Lip smackingly good. HRH Jancis Robinson adorned it with 18/20 points, referring to it as "very dense and tingly. So meaty and dry on the nose it really is rather like White Burgundy". Learn More -
La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva Rioja 2004
€32.95Medium-high cherry red robe, with orange tinted tones on the edge of the glass, clear and brilliant. Intense and complex to the nose. Wild berry aromas predominate, blended with hints of coconut, cinnamon, tobacco and leather. Full-bodied and well structured to the palate, with silky and enveloping tannins. Long after-taste acquired from its lengthy time in bottle, where its elegant bouquet gains in intensity. Learn More -

Marina Cvetic Chardonnay 2008
€37.95"Masciarelli is a refrence point producer for rich, internationally styled wines from Abruzzo", so says Robert Parker and he's not wrong. This is toasty, creamy, smooth and rich. The fruit is tropical, the texture enveloping. A hedonistic style and a benchmark for this Chardonnay style. Learn More -
Bussola TB l'Errante 2004
€40.00Continuing Bussola's idiosyncratic thinking outside of the box, this is a Veronese Bordeaux blend! It's huge and delicious in equal measures. Though we officially "disapprove" of these experimental things, we can't help loving this stuff very dearly indeed! Learn More
