Queulat Pinot Noir Gran Reserva 2006

Queulat Pinot Noir Gran Reserva 2006

 

The Queulat Pinot Noir ”Gran Reserva” is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the loam and clay soils of Casablanca. Oak ageing lends a gentle vanilla-spice to the sweet-savoury mix of fruits and Pinot characters.

Grey Premium Carmenere, Maipo Valley 2008

Grey Carmenere 2006

Grey Carmenere 2006

Ventisquero`s Grey Carmenere  is a premium oak-matured red grown in Maipo`s loam and clay soils. The wine is 85% Carmenere, 7.5% Syrah and 7.5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Carmenere is a warming, spicy red, ideal for red meats, spicy dishes or even cheeses.

Winemaker`s tasting note: Intense aromas of blueberry, blackberry and strawberry, notes of cherry, bitter chocolate, black pepper and nuances of mint and lavener. A full-bodied well-structured wine with firm but ripe tannins and balanced acidity; concentrated flavours lead to a long, fruity finish tinged with a hint of spice. Ideal with grilled meats flavoured with exotic spices!

Les Hauts De Massonne Merlot-Cabernet

Chateau Les Hauts de Massonne du Chateau Pillet, to give the chateau its full name, is our new House Claret. We are delighted with its quality and it comes highly recommended at £8.99 per bottle. The grape mix is 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. The wine is perfectly drinkable now in its youth and will develop well over the next few years.
