Special Offers

May 2012

Here is a selection of wines we have hand picked for drinking this Spring.

Following on from our recent foray into the realms of Sussex as part of our our New New World of Wine, it seemed about time that we turned our attention to one of the original stars of the "old" New World of Wine, Australia.

Australia has inspired a radical change in the style of wine consumed in this country and with it, attracted consumers that may have otherwise found buying wine intimidating. Australia is the world's fourth largest exporter of wine and in so far as the UK market is concerned, has focused on key price points that dominate the supermarket shelves. We recently had an opportunity to meet several winemakers over from Australia and would like to introduce some new wines, which we believe offer excellent mid-week drinking.

As always, these recommendations are to reflect the changing seasons produce that will be gracing our tables this Spring. Please call Karl on 01273 242535, if you would like any further advice on what to drink this month.

These special offers are valid until 31.5.12 and are subject to availability. Minimum order is just 6 bottles; delivery charges may apply.

Italy - Umbria

Est Est Est di Montefiascone 2010, Falesco, Italy
Riccardo Cotarella is one of Italy's most renowned winemaking consultants; his brother Renzo is general manager of Antinori. Together they own Falesco, an estate that straddles Umbria and Latium, and shows an innovative approach to local and international varieties alike. On the one hand, they continue to support and refine traditional appellations like Est! Est!! Est!!!, and on the other have pioneered the vinification of the little-known Roscetto variety.

The three white grape varieties for this blend (Trebbiano, Malvasia and Rescetto) are sourced from selected vineyards in Montefiascone. Vines are planted on crumbly soil, rich in pebbles, at 300 metres above sea level and with an average age of sixteen years.

This is a fresh, fruity and floral dry white wine from this famous appellation and given extra depth from the addition of 20% Rescetto. This wine has great character and will make a welcome change form the ubiquitous Sauvignon Blancs at this price level.
