Turner TINPOT HUT Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc NZ
Description: The Tinpot Hut Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a concentrated and complex wine with powerful passionfruit and blackcurrant flavours, with underlying grapefruit and mineral notes. This wine is pleasingly rich and powerful with a well balanced acidity that leads to a long lingering finish. Winemaker Fiona Turner has worked with Matt Thomson on many of the most successful wines made in Marlborough. The tinpot hut that gave its name to Fiona’s brand is an old mustering hut in the remote hills between the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. These huts were used as a base for musterers, who were responsible for rounding up the sheep that had been in the hills from spring to autumn and bringing them down to the low paddocks for the winter. Fiona sourced the fruit primarily from her own vineyard in Blind River and combined it with grapes from some other carefully selected sites in Marlborough. After juice clarification, the wine was inoculated with pure, aromatic yeast strains and cool fermented. Once dry the wine was stabilised, filtered and bottled. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £57.53

Richard Hamilton HUT BLOCK Cabernet McLaren Vale South Australia
Description: Made from 100% Estate owned fruit from the McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia, the 'Hut Block' vineyard is planted on an open lace in free draining soils, unusual amongst the clay and loams of the district. This produces a wine of intense berry aroma and flavour. The 'Hut Block' is named after the old 'pickers' hut, which has sat on the property for over fifty years. The wine is a blend of Cabemet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc matured in selected French and American Oak casks for twelve months prior to bottling. Traditionally the wine is deeply coloured, with ripe berry flavours, a full rich, robust wine balanced with a supple mid palate and a fine tannin finish. This wine is a full dense red colour with vibrant crimson highlights and an intense ripe Cabernet Sauvignon nose with excellent expression of fine oak. Clean and vibrant, this is a great example of full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from McLaren Vale. On the palate the varietal characters from the nose follow through on the palate to give a wine of great length. The wine finishes cleanly with tannins, acidity and flavour in harmony. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £94.96

Andrea Oberto BAROLO Vigneto Rocche DOCG
Description: Mature, mid-red colour. Ripe, open nose with complex pot-pourri notes. Rich soft palate, developed spicy flavours with a long warm finish. Andrea Oberto owns 8 hectares of perfectly exposed vineyards in the commune of La Morra . He uses organic farming methods with very hard pruning in winter and bunch thinning in the summer to reduce yields to no more than 5 or 6 bunches per vine in good vintages and 3 or 4 bunches in less good years. This equals just over 1 bottle of wine per plant in a good vintage. Oberto’s adoption of avant garde winemaking techniques and maturation exclusively in French oak means that all his wines have great elegance, suppleness and precision of fruit flavours. (12 x 75 cl)
