A fabulous selection introducing the delights of lesser known grape varieties and wine regions such as Marsanne from Nagambie Lakes in Australia and Madeleine Angevine from Wales.
Soluna Fairtrade Organic Premium Malbec 2006 Mendoza, Argentina A full-bodied red with juicy notes of plum and blackberry flavours that’s a delight matched with grilled red meats. The palate is smooth with notes of smoky oak and the finish long and velvety. Mezzomondo Negroamaro Rosso 2007 Salento, Puglia, Italy This wine shows a combination of savoury characters from this local variety in the South of Italy, with a modern touch in the flattering oak tones. A great red to enjoy with a fresh tomato and mozzarella pizza. Gran López Tinto 2008 Campo de Borja, Spain This is a modern-style Spanish red wine made from Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes. It’s young, fresh and easy-drinking with lots of jammy red berry fruit. Enjoy with lamb or grilled red meats. Tahbilk Marsanne 2007 Nagambie Lakes, Australia Fresh, youthful and easy-drinking, this Australian white is full of peach and lemon fruit flavours streaked with hints of honey. Enjoy well-chilled on its own or with fish or seafood. Italia Grillo 2008 Sicily, Italy Having historically been used to fortify Marsala, Grillo has been rediscovered as a great grape for refreshing, dry whites. Producing a surprisingly full-bodied, lemony and dry white, it’s great with all fish, from fried cod to fruits de mer. Monnow Valley Madeleine Angevine 2007 Monmouthshire, Wales A floral white wine from one of the most easterly Welsh vineyards, with a distinctive slightly Francophile flavour. Fresh and fruity on the palate this easy-drinking wine is great sipping on its own or try with light appetisers or tapas.
