This has produced a lovely red coloured wine with a nose of ripe fruit that develops on the palate through to the lingering finish. One of the few varietally-labelled wines of the Rhone, it could never have the name of the village on the label because it is not an officially recognised varietal for the zone. (12 x 75 cl)

Pittacum Tinto Bierzo DO
Description: Bodegas Pittacum was purchased several years ago by Terras Gauda who were looking to find a red wine with distinctive personality. The winery is located in Arganza, a town of longstanding vine-growing and wine-making heritage, nestled in the beautifully hilly landscape of the Bierzo region. The Bierzo Tinto, made with Mencia grape, is sourced from 50-90 year-old vineyards, located on poor slate soils so as carefully to force the process of ripening. Organic fertilisers are used and green practices are employed throughout the vineyard to ensure the health of the vines. Once the timing of the picking of the different plots has been decided, the teams of grape-pickers make the first selection on the vine. Only the healthiest, ripest bunches are packed into 14-kilogram boxes, to prevent them from splitting or becoming bruised. They are then sent straight to the winery, where they arrive in perfect condition, ready to be processed. The delivery area outside the winery is where the boxes are received on pallets and unloaded one by one onto the selection bench, where any below-standard bunches that happen to have slipped through are promptly removed. The selective extraction of tannins is carried out with manual cap-plunging, pumping-over and long macerations. Every day during the barrelling the wines are tasted, and with the aid of analytical monitoring of polyphenol compounds, the appropriate time for removal is determined. Next, the grape skins are pressed in a vertical press working at low pressure-important if the wine is to be of optimal quality. Now is the time for malolactic fermentation, part of which is done in stainless-steel vats and the rest in oak casks. After malolactic fermentation (6 x 75 cl)

Pieropan Soave Classico Veneto
Description: This Soave Classico is vibrant straw yellow in colour, with delicate perfumes reminiscent of almond blossom and marzipan. On the palate, it is soft textured with good depth of fruit balanced by a zingy acidity that lingers on the finish. The Garganega gives structure and acidity to the wine, while the Trebbiano di Soave gives perfume and richness of flavour. It has a richness that is unusual in this wine at such an early stage, and yet the acidity and aroma that will enable the wine to age beautifully.. Nobody else has spent the past 35 years getting to know Garganega and the vineyards of Soave Classico in the same intimate detail as Nino Pieropan. He then ensures that his work in the cellar retains and amplifies the quality and style provided by the vineyard. The vineyards are planted primarily with Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave . (12 x 37.5 cl)
