We know, it’s a tough job, but we’ll take the sacrifice to do it, so you don’t have to…

Last month Dan and Oli went on a whistle stop buying trip with some other friendly merchants to Bordeaux. We visited some fabulous wineries and tasted wines to see what would work well in the shop, as well as visiting some wineries we already work with.

On the Monday we were hosted by Château Olivier (Graves), Château Larrivet Haut Brion (Pessac-Leognan) and Château Angélus, (St Emillion)

On Tuesday we went to a tasting at Château Angludet (Margaux) and Château Cantemerle, (Haut Médoc)

On Wednesday, we visited and did tastings at Château Tourelles (Cadillac) Château Saransot-Dupré (Listrac) and met up with the winemakers of Château Grandis and Château Haut-Barrail

A big thanks to all these lovely producers, as well as to Maison Sichel for their assistance and hospitality!

Keep an eye out in the next couple of months for more Bordeaux landing in the shop!

Join us tomorrow at the usual time to sample these two wines that we feel encapsulates the feeling of summer.

Hundred Hills Preamble No2: The 2021 vintage was long and cool, rewarding those who coaxed their grapes through to a late October harvest, with wines of freshness, purity and delicacy. Golden straw coloured in the glass with a beautiful clarity, this vintage’s Preamble is a tightly knit band of yellow apple and pear, centred around a core of crisp acidity. Those who favour elegance and finesse in their wines will enjoy the fine profile here.

Alongside we will also be opening the Ecker-Eckhof Rosa Von Eckhof 2023: A delightful rosé with a light pink hue, it is fresh and lively with aromas of red berries and cherries which follow through on the palate.

We look forward to seeing between 4pm to 7:30pm to celebrate the start of the weekend with these two wines to sample in-store.

Join us from between 4pm to 7:30pm today to sample these two fun wines.

This Viognier from the Côtes de Thau region offers an overload of ripe peach, pear, white flower and evem a little fresh apricot. It’s a fairly easy going wine but balances brightness, ripe fruit and nice palate weight well. 

Perfect for pairing with sunday roasts, sweet root vegetable, poultry and seafood.

&

This Cabernet Sauvignon from the Côtes de Thau region offers a fresh and approachable take on this classic grape variety, known for its bold flavours and structure.

Medium-bodied with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. The palate reveals ripe black fruit flavours like blackcurrant and blackberry, with a touch of cherry. Herbal notes of green pepper and thyme add complexity, alongside a slight earthy, mineral undertone. A hint of vanilla and spice comes through from the oak ageing.

Perfect quaffing outside in the garden amongst friends over a barbecue.

See you at the usual time for our in-store tasting.

Join us today for our in-store Wine Tasting today, from 4pm to 7:30pm.

Todays we’ll be opening:

Produttori Di Manduria, Alice, IGT, Puglia, Italy - Straw yellow in colour, the nose shows aromatic white flowers mixed with citrus notes as well as pear and pineapple. Dry on the palate this is fresh and mineral like. This wine will pair nicely with a Caprese salad, baked seabass with lemon potatoes, seabream carpaccio, golden deep-fried anchovies. Currently £16.49 or £14.84 as part of any mixed 6 wines.

Also; we have a ten year old Bordeaux from Châteauu Gemeillan Medoc, Cru Bourgeois 2015. This is a WIGIC (When its Gone, its Gone) Wine that we have on offer at a RRP of £24.99, but, on offer for £17.99 or £16.19 as part of any mixed 6 wines.

This is a perfectly mature Bordeaux, ready to drink, from a top vintage. This really is a bargain. Dry, classic Medoc here. Full of red cherry and violets, with lovely to***co, cedar and cocoa flavours all playing a supporting role. Good acidity lends freshness to the palate, and a very respectable 13% alcohol means this is no heady fruit bomb. This is pure, restrained, sexy Claret. And as a Brit, I would indeed be enjoying this alongside my roast beef on a Sunday.

See you at the usual time of 4pm to 7:30pm at Eynsham Cellars.
