After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Ernest & Julio Gallo started their winery in California. Unable to obtain bank loans, they rented a warehouse and bought equipment on credit. More than sixty years later, the Gallo family still controls one of the world's most successful wine companies. The Gallo philosophy of continual improvement saw Julio Gallo travelling throughout California seeking high quality grapes and vineyards; he came to the conclusion that Sonoma County has the finest growing area in California. Its complex geography provides an endless variety of growing conditions, and eleven viticultural appellations have been established in Sonoma. A silky chardonnay which is bright and crisp with a flinty, minerally edge. This wine will develop over the next 3 (6 x 75 cl)

Gallo Family Vineyards TWOROCK Vineyard Chardonnay Sonoma
Description: Our TwoRockChardonnay is delicate yet layered with flavor. This is a bright and crisp wine, with elegant pear, apple and citrus flavors and a long, smooth finish. A non-traditional Chardonnay, this wine has a mineral characteristic that was imparted from the soil at our TwoRock Vineyard. In creating our TwoRockChardonnay, we pressed whole clusters to reduce phenolic extraction and impart a silkier, more refined texture to the wine. Once pressed, 43% of the wine was barrel aged for an average of 6 months in French oak, while 57% was fermented in stainless steel to maintain the bright, crisp fruit flavors. Our family's TwoRock Vineyard is located in the benchlands of the southern-most tip of California's Sonoma Coast appellation. This location is also one of the coolest climates in Sonoma County with heavy fog intrusion from the San Francisco Bay that lingers for most of the day. As a result, the Chardonnay grapes ripen very slowly to showcase their refreshing acidity and concentrated citrus, apple, and pear flavors and aromas. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £91.29

Montes Unoaked Cabernet Sauvignon Chile
Description: Montes were and still are one of the pioneers of top quality Chilean wine. Their objective has always been to create wines of finesse and balance. Their success in this is shown by the International WINE Challenge Gold Medals for in 2000 and also the International WINE and Spirit Competition Gold Medals for Alpha Chardonnay in I999 and Alpha 'M' in 2000. Aurelio Montes is the creator of the wines and was Chilean winemaker of the year in 1995. They continue to invest in vineyards. Their vineyard, La Finca de Apalta, in Colchagua, is a dramatic exercise in rock moving, ground clearing and planting on the lower slopes. They have recently acquired 300 hectares at Marchigue further along the Colchagua Valley towards the Pacific Coast. Recent wine developments are the new Alpha Syrah and Reserve Pinot Noir. Aurelio has brought his delicate touch to these two difficult grapes to create typical Montes wines of real character and finesse (24 x 37.5 cl) Price: £90.56
