| Description: |
|
The estate, started by Giacomo Voerzio in the 1950's, has been run by his son Roberto since the 1980's and has done exceedingly well under this new regime. Considered by many to be the leading producer of the region, Roberto Voerzio is an outspoken modernist and is understandably, unabashedly proud of his own estate and techniques. Voerzio's highly concentrated wines are the result of the very low yields he enforces in the vineyard, leaving 8 buds per vine. If the summer is exceptional, it is left as is and yields little more than 1 bottle per vine, approximately 2 tons per acre. If the weather is rainy and cool in late August or early September, production is reduced. Ageing for 27 months using a combination of new, 1 and 2 year old barrique has produced a deep ruby red coloured wine. With aromas of violet, spices, marmelade of fruit raspberry, liquorice, this wine is well structured, mouth-filling, with sweet, enveloping tannins with a persistent licorice finish. Available in Magnum Bottles. (3 x 1.5 Litres)

Oyster Bay Merlot Hawke's Bay New Zealand
Description: The philosophy of Oyster Bay is to produce fine, distinctly regional wines that are elegant and assertive with glorious fruit flavours. A vibrant merlot showing intensity of fruit but the hero is always freshness of ripe fruit, spice and soft tannins on the palate. The Hawkes Bay wine region is arguably the most exciting find in recent times for the cultivation of merlot in New Zealand. Ancient alluvial river terraces provide for a superb mix of soils over gravelly, free-draining sub soils, with an abundance of pure river water for irrigation. With a temperate maritime climate, the vines are warmed by strong clear sunlight during the day and cooled at night by the sea breezes of the Pacific Ocean. This is the unique environment in which merlot produces its vibrant, fully ripened varietal flavours. (12 x 75 cl)

Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis 1er Cru VAILLONS AC
Description: Tasting comments : These wines are very generous,fleshy and nervous. The poor "Terroir" composed by calcareous slopes gives to this 1er Cru a minerality and a strengh that express a sharp character. Keeping time : As it stays perfumed with notes of peaches and apricots, it can be drunk young if you look for this vividness. In aging, it takes all its charm and becomes fruitier, full-bodied and powerful. Vinification methods : Traditional method used in Chablis, composed by two fermentations, calrifying, fining and the cold stabilization. Then there is a light filtration. During the vinification,one part is passed in new barrel and a blending is done with the other part exclusively vinified in tank. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £123.57
