It’s been a wet and windy start to spring but it hasn’t dampened our enthusiasm for our two new wines from South Africa. The Klippenkop Chenin Blanc is light, crisp and clean with a hint of melon. Perfect to go with any springtime meal, especially chicken and salads. While the Sauvignon from Zevenwachts comes from a family owned and managed estate on the beautiful Stellenbosch Wine Route and is a more elegant wine with elderflower, green fig and gooseberry notes. It pairs beautifully with seafood. Available from next week!

From a climate of snow and sun, and one man’s love of wine, comes this rich Argentinian Malbec. Dark red in colour with violet hints it delivers strong aromas of plums and black cherries. The Gougenheim winery is one of the highest altitude vineyards in the Mendoza region. In a desert climate region, they use melt water from the Andes mountains to irrigate the vines growing on unique alluvial soils. “I wanted a change in my quality of life…to produce something which I am proud of.” Patricio Gougenheim

Blown away by the storms? You’ll definitely be blown away by this wine!   From the Garreau vineyards that stretch over the magnificent slopes of Bordeaux, where the natural drainage and aspect are ideal for the vines. With 2015 being a great vintage, you are getting some serious wine in this bottle.  Nicely balanced with smooth red fruit flavours, it’s just the job with food. So, cook up a hearty roast dinner, pop the cork and snuggle up for the weekend. 

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with sparkling inspiration. Keep it classic…traditional Champagne for the perfect romantic setting. Champagne Fournaise Dubois has luxurious good old fashioned style not to be missed. Keep it iconic…Camel Valley Brut is a firm favourite of ours. We simply love the taste of the South West with English hedgerow scents. Keep it pink…Cremant de Loire Rose, Chateau Langlois, made in the Champagne style with fresh, fine bubbles. An absolute winner for both value and taste. All hand picked just for you!

With Valentine’s Day coming up this month we are feeling rather pink and so we have put together a collection of pink wines with something for everyone. From the traditional dry French rose from Saint Auriol to our latest Australian Moscato, Innocent Bystander. With its natural effervescence, low alcohol and fruity palate, drink it on its own or as a dessert wine. All in a pretty bottle and suitable for vegans too. One wine for all occasions? You can’t go wrong with our long-standing favourite made in the Champagne style from Langlois Chateau!
