Description
The Tokara Director’s Reserve Red displays an appealing red claret colour with an intense core and a ruby rim. The nose shows complex aromas of ripe red and black fruits with hints of dried cranberry, baking spice and graphite. The wine enters the palate with incredible purity and focus. Flavours are those of dark cherries, blackberries and ripe plum skin. Sumptuous and full, there is a hint of spice on the mid-palate which leads to fine, firm tannins on the finish. This is a truly classy wine and one which will age gracefully for years to come.
Attention to detail is key here with the harvested grapes going through two sorting processes before before being gently crushed directly into tanks for fermentation using gravity feed and no pumps, ensuring the most gentle handling of the juice. Cold maceration lasts for up to 5 days before the fermentation starts spontaneously in a mixture of stainless steel and upright wooden foudre with natural yeast.

2016 Les Charmes de Kirwan, Chateau Kirwan, AC Margaux
Bordeaux Blend
Les Charmes de Kirwan is the second wine of 3rd Growth Château Margaux and, like it's more grown up sybling, has benefitted from the massive investment program in both the winery and the vineyard in recent years. It is generally made with the younger vines on the property but receives exactly the same care and attention as the wine.

2020 Cabernet Franc Seleccion, Bodegas Rio Del Elorza, Mendoza
Cabernet Franc
The Verum Cabernet Franc Seleccion, Bodegas Rio Del Elorza has classic elements on the nose including wild strawberry, blackberry, pencil shavings and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. Lovely ripe fruits with a hint of stalky/vegetal character but not too much greenness, instead offering more body and depth of fruit and a slight touch of herbal mint. The full-bodied palate is elegant with firm tannins but a vital balancing acidity. Cedar notes show from the use of French oak and the finish is dominated by bright red fruit and mocha spice.
