Currently on offer with 10% off single bottles and 15% off an unmixed case of 12.
"Quite a bit of struck match on the nose – though not excessive. Masses of rich fruit on the palate but not at all heavy. So enjoyable! Really meets every taste bud head on. I don't think I would age it for very long but it's absolutely lovely now. Beautiful precision and balance. I'm so glad someone is bringing this into the UK.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is one of the most-widely planted varieties in the world.
Arguably not the most characterful grape, hence its common ageing in oak, yet at its pinnacle in Burgundy it produces some of the greatest (and certainly most expensive) white wines in the world. Look out for unoaked Chardonnay, it can make a pleasant change, and usually goes down very well with all those people who...

Carinae, Malbec, Odile, Mendoza, 2023
Currently on offer with 10% off single bottles and 15% off an unmixed case of 12.
"Mid garnet. Sweet blackberry and cherry fruit, open and expressive. Just a hint of black fruit pastilles. Sweet-fruited on the palate, contrasting with fresh acidity, giving a sweet-sour impression on the finish. Juicy, easy, with gentle tannins so you could just about drink this without food, or with a handy packet of crisps – but it has the presence/structure to be served with food, too. The...

Carinae
Mendoza, Argentina
Frenchman Philippe Subra, with his wife Brigitte, came to Argentina as the national boss of EDF, the French energy giant - but loved the country so much he cleverly bought some long-established vineyards and settled there, on the south side of Mendoza. He has built a small cellar - boutique indeed, whilst wholly lacking the pretension that word implies!

Malbec
Malbec is a red grape whose home is in south-west France, and specifically in the appellation of Cahors.
There (known as Cot) it makes a strongly flavoured wine which is, all too often, tannic and rustic and needs several years ageing to show its best.
Like Carmenère in Chile, it is much more successful in Argentina than in its homeland. Introduced in the mid 19th...
