🍷ON TASTING THIS WEEKEND🍷 We like to think of the wines of Canon-Fronsac as the Samwise Gamgee of Bordeaux. Sure, it might not have the glamour of Pomerol or Saint-Emilion but you know what? When your backs up against the wall and a giant spider's coming at you, you can rely on good old Canon-Fronsac.

Other than disconcertingly poor Lord of the Rings references, this wine offers wonderful value for money, showing delicious flavours of damson, dark cherry, bramble and liquorice. Thank you, Canon-Fronsac you've made an awe-inspiring wine and your spirit guide, Samwise, was the only reason we managed to defeat Sauron.

1805 is when everything started. The De Cournuaud family built the vineyard, and as of the start of 2017 it has been the home to 9 generations of the family. Since 1994 Patrick de Cournuaud has been running the property. The family ethos is to maintain the heritage of both Chateau and the region, while also making modern and approachable Bordeauxs. Mazeris is situated at the top of the town of Saint Michel de Fronsac, in the heart of the AOC Canon-Fronsac, at an altitude of 70 meters. Today, 17 ha of vines are in production, with 80% of Merlot and 20% of Cabernet-Franc. Half of the vineyard surface is cultivated with herb between the rows to keep a good microbiological life in the soils. The wine is currently showing youthful flair, with bright notes of dark berries balanced with well-integrated flavours giving an excellently structured and approachable wine. 🍷

The property captured the heart of their father, Grant, as he rode his horse through the region as a youngster and daydreamed of one day living there. Some years later while courting Helen, he proclaimed that if the opportunity ever arose, he would buy Corryton Park Homestead for her and their future family. Just a few years later the picturesque property had two new and delighted owners, with Grant turning his attention to the small but exceptional parcel of vines and Helen focusing on restoring the estate to its former glory.

Fresh and vibrant on the palate, this wine has smooth and ripe tannins. This superbly textured Carignan finishes with a fruity length.

GAVELOT was born from a dream: to marry the elegant French style of winemaking with the vibrant Southern expression. The production area of the Pays d’Hérault is hugely influenced by the river that gave it its name, the “Hérault”, whose spring can be found at an altitude of 1400m. It shaped the impressive canyon “Gorges de l’Hérault” where streams travel over 148km to reach the sea. The diversity of the region’s soils originates from the granite earth deposited by the river onto the limestone plains. The combination of soils and climatic conditions are perfect for producing rich, concentrated and ripe grapes. A total bargain at £10.50

🍷🍷ON TASTING TODAY!!🍷🍷 This brilliant wine is a naturally co-fermented red blend. It's been expertly aged in old French oak barrels for 12 long months. Cape Rock Red is lightly filtered at bottling to ensure its robust flavour profile. This wine has been carefully crafted by Cape Rock Wines.

Cape Rock Wines is situated 300km north from Cape Town and 30km east from Doringbaai on the West Coast between the towns of Vredendal and Klawer. The vineyards are located on a single 11 hectare farm just above the banks of the Olifants river floodplain.

Their first Their total production currently varies between 12000 and 20 000 bottles per year depending on the yield and quality of the grapes.

The Cape Rock philosophy is simple; we aim to create wines that are balanced and speak of place. We aim to use varieties for their virtues, one ads spice, the other acid, tannin, colour, body etc. We will always try to make use of natural yeast to ferment healthy grapes and never use new barrels to age our wines. Some people believe that winemaking is about displaying textbook characteristics of what a variety should taste like in a certain area. For us wine is all about enjoyment and lightness, it should be a refreshing beverage. 🍷

began life in 1897 as a simple osteria serving wines to locals and workers. Caldirola’ headquarters and centre of commercial activity remains on the very same site in the small hamlet of Contra in the Comune of Missaglia, north of Milan. Ferdinando Caldirola and his son Gaetano bought the osteria in the 1940s and transformed it into an important centre for bottling and selling wine and other local products like cured meats. As the company developed its wine trade by buying and bottling wines from all corners of Italy throughout the second half of the 20th century, they were instrumental in developing coloured bottles to distinguish wines from different regions and styles.

3 family generations later, Caldirola has established itself as one of the largest Italian wine merchants in Italy, with an export market reaching across the globe.
Caldirola’s expertise reaches into sourcing wines and partnering with growers and co-operatives from regions all over Italy, from Piedmont to Tuscany, from Sicily to Abruzzo. They developed one of the most recognisable Italian retail brands in “La Cacciatora”, trusted for quality wines with reasonable prices, considerable choice and synonymous for various bottle shapes, sizes and recyclable bottles. 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
