July Case Of The Month - Expect The Unexpected 6 Bottle Case

Our July Case of the Month is our final Case Of The Month curated by Tomasz. After many successful "Expect The Unexpected" Tastings we figured the best way to pay tribute to him is with this very special 6 bottle case of some of the most popular wines from his 'Expect the Unexpected' tastings. Just like the tastings, this case features 6 uncommon wines from 6 different wine producing regions.

The Wines In This Case Are

Crémant d''Bordeaux Blanc de Blancs
Tomasz liked to start things off with some bubbly which was a charming staple of any tasting with him. The surprise here was that sparkling Bordeaux exists.This unique Blanc de Blancs is a blend of 60% Semillon,30% Muscadelle and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Aged for 18 months. Delicate, sensible, with aromas of white flowers and exotic fruits, a paradox between subtlety and character.

Disznoko, Dry Furmint, Tokaj, Hungary 2023
A remarkable wine with similarities to some more popular grape varieties such as dry Riesling, Sauvignon and Albarino. These wines reflect the balance of acidity, fruitiness and minerality, making them appealing to palates while highlighting the unique qualities of Furmint from the Tokaj region. It is is an exceedingly drinkable wine perfect for so many occasions; quenching your thirst on a hot summer's day, the perfect companion to light meals.

Nivarius, Finca La Nevera, Maturana Blanca, Rioja 2018
An appealing wine to those seeking something distinctive and representative of its unique origins. This white Rioja is produced from Maturana Blanca, which in fact is the oldest grape variety planted in this region and dates back to 1622. It comes from a natural cross between Savagnin (Traminer) and Castellana Blanca (an old Galicain variety). Aged Maturana Blanca tastes like a combination of Gruner Valtliner and Chenin Blanc. Truly remarkable.

Offley Rosé Port Wine NV
Pink Port was created only in 2008 and is an easy drinking wine that can be also mixed with soda or tonic water. This is a rare style of port that offers a lighter, fruitier alternative to traditional ruby and tawny ports. It's versatility makes it an excellent companion for a range of dishes including seafood and salads. A very refreshing choice for warmer weather.

Zanotelli, Schiava, Vigneti Delle Dolomiti 2022
A light, refreshing red wine produced in the Vigneti delle Dolomiti region of Italy. The wine is often enjoyed slightly chilled, enhancing its refreshing qualities. It exhibits aromas of red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, along with floral notes. On the palate, dry, cool, soft, not too alcoholic. A versatile wine suitable for pairing with a variety of dishes, including pasta, pizza, and grilled meats.

Dalia, Spelt, Gamay/Vranac Serbia 2021
A unique and interesting wine from Serbia and a great alternative for Beaujolais lovers. Serbia has been gaining recognition for its quality wines, particularly in recent years, as winemakers focus on both traditional and modern methods. Deep ruby with hints of purple in colour, this Gamay and Vranac blend displays aromas of dark cherry and liquorice, with a hint of earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, with elegant acidity and fine tannins.
