Germar Breton are a relatively young Champagne House that started in 2005.  Based in the southerly Aube region, they make approachable, terrific value wines solely from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, eschewing the use of Pinot Meunier as they believe that it brings a harshness ot the final wine.

2018 Rioja Reserva, Hacienda Lopez de Haro, Magnum

Tempranillo

The colour is a medium-deep garnet hinting at its age and follows on to the mature, complex nose. Aromas of dark fruits, spices, truffles, dark chocolate and fine oak are all present.

Red Blend

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.

2019 Rioja Crianza, Bodegas Luis Canas, DOCa Rioja, Magnum

Tempranillo

In 1970 Luis Cañas changed two hundred years of tradition and became the first winemaker in Rioja Alavesa to bottle his young wine rather than sell it in bulk. This bold move, and his continued pioneering spirit, has cemented the winery's enviable reputation as one of the most progressive in the region. Sheltered below the watchful Sierra Cantabria, the vineyards are all old, small plots on chalky-clay soils with a dedicated team of vineyard workers carrying out organic practices.

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!

£45.00

2020 Pojega Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore, Magnum

Red Blend

The Rizzardi Pojega is an utterly delicious example of this style of red wine, showing a wonderful depth of fruit and terrific balance.  Made from a traditional blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and Merlot the wine shows great concentration of dark and red fruits, but also lovely freshness and a harmonious finish.  The addition of 10% Amarone (which now has to be done by law for Ripasso's) simply adds to the complexity without detracting from the elegant freshness which seems to be the hallmark of the wines from this historic estate.  This is the kind of wine which doesn't disappoint, no matter what your taste.

£39.95

2021 Block 1 Malbec, Mauricio Lorca, Los Arboles, Uco

MALBEC

The Block 1 Malbec shows the typical elegance and concentration of Mauricio Lorca.  Made from densely planted vines grown at 1250 metres above sea level, the grapes are hand-harvested and aged in a mixture of French (90%) and American (10%) Oak.  Quite simply, this is a beautiful Malbec that is fruit forward and aromatic with hints of spice on the nose. The palate is juicy, rounded and very, very drinkable.

£42.00

2021 Rioja Crianza, Hacienda de Lopez, DOCa Rioja, Magnum

Tempranillo

The Hacienda de Lopez Rioja Crianza shows a lovely deep, dark and velvety red cherry which leads to a complex nose showing aromas of ripe dark fruits mixed with coffee, vanilla, balsamic and woody notes. The palate is typically smooth and fruity with gentle tannins. Enjoyable and almost dangerously easy to drink.

£30.00

2021 Weissburgunder Fels Reserve, Waldschutz, Wagram, Magnum

Pinot Blanc

The Weissburgunder Fels Reserve from Waldschutz is 100% Pinot Blanc and an absolute delight to drink.  Unoaked yet with a decent degree of richness, the wine has floral notes to the nose, a rounded palate that balances textured fruit with richer notes of caramel and hazlenuts.  The finish is long and impeccably balanced.  This accomplished white is delicious now but has great ageing potential.

£44.00

This cuvée has a bright and golden colour. The nose is dominated by the freshness and the fruit. The Chardonnay brings finesse sustained by notes of yellow fruits such as peach and Mirabelle plum. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous. The Pinot Noir of Ay gives its structure. Hawthorn and white flowers merge naturally. Acidity is expressed by citrus fruits.
