Description

The Roca Grisa, Marco Abella is massively expressive with intense, notes of graphite, plum, blackcurrant and blueberries with coffee and chocolate lurking in the background. Rich, ripe and velvety tannins with a long fresh finish, this wine has plenty going for it now but will continue to age and develop gracefully for several more years. The Roca Grisa (Grey Slate) is a single vineyard wine form Marca Abella’s Malolla vineyard and is one of their top wines. 


The Marco Abella family have been producing wines in the Priorat region since the 15th century, with David Marco returning to the region in the early naughties to breath new life into his ancestral vineyards. Marco Abella owns seven plots located on seven different peaks in the village of Porrera. These are the highest plots of the Priorat region. During the winemaking process they only use indigenous yeasts in the fermentation process and age the wines in their own cellars located seven meters below ground level – the lowest tier of their custom built gravity fed winery.

2023 Beaujolais Villages ‘Cuvee Six’, Caves De Julienas Chaintre

Gamay

The Beaujolais Villages 'Cuvee Six' from Caves De Julienas Chaintre just gets better and better with each vintage, showing soft, rounded red fruits and vibrant cherry flavours.  Complex enough to make one sit up and think yet easy going and supple at the same time.  Great for lighter lunches and it can also be chilled lightly when the weather warms up!

Syrah/Shiraz

The Duc de Belmond Cabernet/Syrah has a lovely deep colour in the glass. The nose shows spice, blackberry and cassis with a whiff of oak, and leads to a palate that is round, smooth and spicy.
