Louis Latour Corton Grand Cru Clos de la Vigne au Saint
Description: This vineyard is found on the east-facing slopes of the hill of Corton, with perfect exposure to the sun and well-drained soils.

Soil: marl based soil, limestone base. Vinification: Traditional open-vat fermentation at the Cuverie of Corton Grancey followed by 18 months in oak barrels. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £449.07

Louis Latour Santenay Rouge AC
Description: Unusually for the Cote d'Or the system of pruning employed by the growers of Santenay is the Cordon Royat rather than the simple Guyot. The producers argue that the increased richness of the soil in their vineyards needs to be compensated for by not overly burdening the vines by keeping them young and vigorously pruned. They produce admirable, lively wines, with a very abundant and special bouquet reminiscent of strawberry and cherry. Soil: Rich marl and limestone. Vinification: Traditional open vat fermentation with 18 months ageing in oak barrels. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £176.85

Azienda Agricola Zidarich CARSO TERRANO Carso Friuli
Description: Carso is a thin slice of land connecting Trieste to the main mass of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia. Officially speaking, this is Italy, but, as is the case all along Italy's border with Slovenia, the wine culture transcends national boundaries. Winegrowing Carso extends well beyond the border into Slovenia and is a limestone-rich plateau that extends out from the city of Trieste and reaches toward the Julian Alps to the north. The heavy limestone content of the soils likely gave the zone its name , and it lends the wines, both white and red, a firm acidic backbone and mouth-watering minerality. The Azienda Zidarich is located in Prepotto, near Duino Aurisina, which is a small and characteristic village of the Carso area. The landscape is extremely varied and stimulating. The vegetation of the environment is very different and enhances the peculiarity of this territory dedicated to viticulture. Jagged chalky rock is the keynote of Carso viticulture, which is carried out on small terraces of red, iron-richsoil that have been reclaimed from the woodland. This lends the wines the characteristic acidity and mineral notes. The Terrano is made with a variant of the Refosco grape grown in characteristic red soil. The peculiar quality of the sun and soil of the Carso area contribute to the wine's particular characteristics. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £152.83
Sandeman ROYAL CORREGIDOR Rich Old Oloroso
Description: Royal Corregidor has an appealing mahogany colour and a deep, complex aroma, where the intense raisin notes of the Pedro Ximénez sweet wines combine with the smoothness typical of the very old olorosos. It is extraordinarily rich on the palate, with a velvety mouthfeel and an extremely long aftertaste recalling all of its aromatic complexity and stimulating all the senses. It is a perfect partner to bitter chocolate and mocha desserts or rich dried fruit cakes, in addition to gorgonzola or stilton cheese. (6 x 50 cl) Price: £83.40

Marcarini LA SERRA La Morra Barolo Piedmont
Description: La Serra, or rather the other side of the Marcarini Barolo production, comes from a historic area of ancient origin whose soil, lacking organic substances but rich in mineral salts and microelements, is capable of giving wines good colour, structure, and flavourful but never excessive tannins. The particular microclimate is characterised by a slight ventilation with the circulation of fresh and dry air. The ripening occurs a bit later than in the Brunate area, resulting in very elegant and apparently less structured wines, but always generous and rich with intense, ethereal bouquets. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £302.40
