Description
The Monkey Jacket Red epitomises what the Cruse wine company are all about – producing characterful, individual wines that are a joy to drink. This cracker of a red is a blend of predominantly Valdiguie with support from Carignan, Petite Sirah and other varieties, all from vineyards at least 50 years old. The wine itself has a juicy mix of red (Strawberry and Raspberry), and dark cherry and Bramble fruits alongside bright herbal notes and hints of leather and black olive. Open and fresh, this lovely wine can be enjoyed chilled in the warmer months or popped open in the depths of winter – either way, it’s guaranteed to brighten your day!
Approximately 35% of the blend was whole bunch fermented in concrete. All of the grapes were fermented in concrete and then pressed into older French oak barrels and concrete tanks, with an eye on retaining brightness of fruit. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally with the wine receiving a light sulphur addition immediately before bottling.

2020 Chateau Saransot-Dupre, Listrac Medoc, Magnum
Bordeaux Blend
Chateau Saransot-Dupre is a favourably sited 17 hectares property that lies between Fourcas Dupré and Fourcas Hosten in Listrac. Due to Listrac’s cooler temperatures, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are favoured over Cabernet Sauvignon to form the majority of the blend, helping them achieve optimum ripeness. Much like Chateau Fourcas Hosten, the wines have improved year on year since 2010 and the property were put on the radar thanks to a certain Robert Parker hailing the 2010 vintage as 'classed growth quality'. High praise indeed!

2021 Promis Ca Marcanda, Gaja, IGT Toscana
Merlot
The Ca Marcanda Promis is a complex wine with an undeniable elegance. The nose is rich and concentrated, with blueberry, liquorice and cocoa hints. It starts fresh and then develops balsamic notes and scents of graphite, before becoming more mellow in character with a rhubarb and menthol note. The palate is voluminous with fine-grained and silky tannins on the finish.
