Beyond the Labels

From France, you’ve a fine Gold-medal Rhône Grenache and a lavish Southern French star from Gassac, “the one First Growth of the Languedoc” (Hugh Johnson). Italy’s Il Papavero is a bestselling 4-region blend from our good friend Scipione Giuliani, and you’ve a power-packed Primitivo from Puglia, deeply intense and decadent. Head to Spain for the lovely La Cueva Garnacha, and then to Portugal for the marvellous Marques de Marialva Colheita Selecionada. It’s a Baga/Touriga Nacional/ Aragonez blend from Bairrada, made by thrice Winemaker of the Year, Osvaldo Amado. And it’s won THREE Golds!

Wine Summary

With Gold medals galore, Thierry Ferlay has made wine all over the world but remains fondest of the warm, ripe reds of the southern Rhône. He also adores their chief grape, Grenache – the most important variety in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In fact he’s in charge of winemaking at this renowned appellation’s only co-operative winery, where all the growers are part-owners of the enterprise. Naturally, maximising quality is at the forefront of their minds, which explains this wine’s exceptional flavour and value. Made purely from Grenache, it has irresistible raspberry fruit, hints of spice and a peppery edge. Enjoy with ratatouille, lamb chops and homemade burgers. And because it’s so smooth and not too heavy, it’s ideal sipping on its own, too.

Wine Summary

Our Buyer Jehan Sacaze is delighted to present his newest Portuguese find – authentic Bairrada from thrice Winemaker of the Year, Osvaldo Amado. He's worked in Spain, Italy, South Africa and Brazil and been head winemaker at this cooperative since 1991. It's a world leading cellar too – founded in 1954, it has twice been named Cooperative of the Year. It's also counted among the Top 100 Wineries of the World. To ensure quality, all the grapes for this red are hand harvested from 15-40 year old vines. The main variety is Baga, renowned for its acidity and tannins – no wonder its wines age so well – here complemented by Aragónez and Touriga Nacional. Medium bodied – silky cherry, violets, plum and raspberry with spice. Enjoy this mellow red with grilled meats, herby tomato butter bean bake or meaty type fish.

Wine Summary

Winery Feudi di San Gregorio has helped spearhead a renaissance in southern Italian winemaking, in particular the use of the region’s superb native grapes. Made from Primitivo (the same grape as California’s Zinfandel), this wine is from Gioia del Colle DOC in Puglia. Gioia del Colle can be translated as “jewels of the hill” and the DOC is a 400-metre-high plateau considered to be the homeland of the Primitivo grape. Sea breezes from the Adriatic and Ionian give the grapes much needed relief from the warm Italian sun, creating rich, velvety wines. An organic Primitivo packed with sumptuous berry fruits, a mouth-coating texture and spice kick. Easily enjoyed on its own, but pairs beautifully with spaghetti Bolognese and eggplant parmigiano.

Wine Summary

For nearly five centuries, the winemaking ancestors of those living and working in the Campo de Borja region sought refuge for their wines in ‘La Cueva’. It was a sanctuary carved into the very mountain itself, a place for them to protect their wines from the searing heat of the Spanish midday sun. Today, the cave provides the perfect cellar for the oak barrels in which the La Cueva Garnacha is aged. Bright cranberry, raspberry, and red plum unite in a juicy combination of flavours and aromas that entice the senses. Subtle black pepper and herbaceous earthy notes give it a savoury groundedness and makes for a fantastic food wine. Salud!

Wine Summary

Since Samuel Guibert returned from 7 years' experience winemaking in New Zealand, he's been reinvigorating his family's already exceptional estate with new ideas. His parents Aimé and Véronique founded the property in the late '60s. Former glovemakers to royalty, they discovered from a friend, the emininent Henry Enjalbert, that they had chosen an amazing site for their vineyards, with the potential to make magnificent Grand Cru style wines. Formed over thousands of years by slowly shifting glaciers, the poor, well drained soils are perfect for vines. History has shown this prognosis to be correct and Gassac is now known as the one true ‘Grand Cru’ of the south. Pensée is a real taste of the Languedoc – ripe black herbal fruit and tobacco spice.
