Established in 2001 and set in the heart of Central Otago’s Upper Clutha basin, Akitu’s 12-hectare vineyard sits alone at 380 metres above sea level on a stunning north facing slope. Set just minutes from Lake Wanaka the semi-continental climate, with high sunshine hours, hot summers and dry autumns help to create wines of amazing fruit purity and complexity. The vineyard is entirely dedicated to Pinot Noir. There are approximately 41,000 vines of 6 carefully selected clones planted across the vineyard according to soil and aspect. Founder Andrew Donaldson, a native to Central Otago, had long believed in the region’s ability to produce exceptional world class Pinot Noir and when the opportunity arose to purchase the Mount Barker site, he did so with this in mind.

A1 is aged in 25% new French oak, and results in an elegantly crafted wine with precise fruit focus, brooding aromatics, velvety tannins balanced by lively acidity and a long refreshing finish.

Tasting Note:
Spice, wild herbs and brooding plummy fruit on the nose. The palate is very fine and silky. Perfumed aromatics, silk-like texture and subtle persistence define this vintage of A1.

Akitu has always had a very pure proposition – only producing two Pinot Noirs, Akitu A1 and Akitu A2, that show two sides of the same coin, namely the special terroir of the Wanaka end of Central Otago. So, when Andrew Donaldson and winemaker PJ Charteris decided to make a white wine it naturally enough had be a ‘Blanc de Noirs’, a wine that is as unusual as it is seductive,

Tasting Note:
Refined aromatics showing light berry sorbet lift and subtle dried herb notes. Floral perfume adding aromatic complexity. Lacy acidity with texture and depth of flavour flowing to a refined and focused finish.

Araldica-Alasia is Piemonte's most forward-thinking co-operative, situated in Castel Boglione, in the heart of Barbera d'Asti territory.

Another 6 months maturation in bottle is completed before release. Black fruit aromas, with some savoury, spicy and gently floral characters. Complex and richly flavoured with black cherry, bramble and a hint of violet on the palate. Good structure and fine tannins lead to a long rich finish. Fantastic with roasted and grilled meats.

£25.12

£20.93 ex. VAT

Grape variety: 100% Pinot Gris

Today one of Alsace’s most famous and respected names, André Ostertag could hardly be called a run-of-the-mill Alsace winemaker.
The Ostertags first put down their winemaking roots in Alsace with three hectares in 1966, with André the second generation to make the wines.
As of the 2017 vintage, André has stepped aside – handing the winemaking reins over to his son Arthur. Arthur has travelled the world to learn his trade and worked with his father for several vintages before stepping up to the plate.
The estate’s Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir is aged in oak barrels, in the style of Burgundy, and on their lees. All the wines are remarkable and amazingly age-worthy.

Tasting note:
A strong note of acacia honey complements fresh pear and floral aromas on the captivating nose. Then bright and juicy, displaying mineral elements to the fresh lemon and orchard fruit flavours. Finishes with sneaky concentration and noteworthy refinement, not to mention freshness.

Antinori Bramito Chardonnay

21991

£22.93

£19.11 ex. VAT

The Antinori family have been producing wine in Tuscany for six centuries, and exporting it for four; that’s twenty-six generations of uninterrupted family ownership. The first recorded mention of the family dates from 1188, when they worked in the silk trade. They moved to Florence in the early thirteenth century, and remain central figures in the fabric of the city; Piazza Antinori is the square in the historic centre where their offices are located. Winemaking was added to the family’s activities in 1385, and during the sixteenth century the wines spread, along with Antinori’s reputation, to France, Flanders, Spain and North Africa. The purchase of the Tignanello estate in 1900 marked the beginning of a remarkable period of expansion, which shows no signs of abating. Through judicious acquisition of vineyards and an uncanny knack for developing iconic wines, Antinori has become Tuscany’s – arguably Italy’s – pre-eminent wine producer, with an important presence in Piedmont, Lombardy, Umbria and Puglia. Marchese Piero Antinori sums up the company’s outlook thus: “Ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never held back our spirit of innovation.

Bramito is a classy Italian Chardonnay from the Castello della Sala estate in Umbria, owned by Antinori, one of Italy's most famous and historic winemaking familys. Antinori purchased Castello della Sala in 1940, when looking to move into producing more white wines. The first vintage of the great 'Cevaro' label was in 1985, and this wine is today recognised as one of (if not the) best Italian examples of Chardonnay. Bramito was first released in 1994, as the younger sibling, produced with the same quality but as an earlier drinking style.

Tasting Note:
Beautifully structured and balanced with a wonderful freshness set against a creamy hint of oak. There are flavours of ripe apple, peach, lemons and chamomile, with a touch of vanilla and slight hint of toast.

The palate is notably savoury and fresh, with characteristics of chamomile, white fruit, and flint along with a pleasurable persistence and tasting depth. Its youth, although already inviting and enjoyable, announces much capacity for ageing. The wine, still quite young, will evolve in an optimal fashion in the years to come.

Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

22140

£25.30

£21.08 ex. VAT

The Antinori family have been producing wine in Tuscany for six centuries, and exporting it for four; that’s twenty-six generations of uninterrupted family ownership. The first recorded mention of the family dates from 1188, when they worked in the silk trade. They moved to Florence in the early thirteenth century, and remain central figures in the fabric of the city; Piazza Antinori is the square in the historic centre where their offices are located. Winemaking was added to the family’s activities in 1385, and during the sixteenth century the wines spread, along with Antinori’s reputation, to France, Flanders, Spain and North Africa. The purchase of the Tignanello estate in 1900 marked the beginning of a remarkable period of expansion, which shows no signs of abating. Through judicious acquisition of vineyards and an uncanny knack for developing iconic wines, Antinori has become Tuscany’s – arguably Italy’s – pre-eminent wine producer, with an important presence in Piedmont, Lombardy, Umbria and Puglia. Marchese Piero Antinori sums up the company’s outlook thus: “Ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never held back our spirit of innovation.”

Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Reserve 2015 presents an intense ruby red as a color. The nose shows notes of ripe red fruit, wild cherries and sensations of dried wild flowers along with spicy aromas of cinnamon and a pleasurable balsamic finish. The palate is balanced, savory, and vibrant with a long and persistent aftertaste which brings back the wine's ample spicy aromas and flavors.

Tasting Note:
Ample and enveloping, balanced and vigorous with soft and silky tannins the finish and aftertaste are long and persistent.

Greek for “a serene state of mind, free from worry and preoccupation”, Ataraxia lives up to the hype. Established in 2004, Ataraxia is a boutique winery located in the scenic area of Walker Bay in South Africa. The idea for the winery was conceptualised when a couple purchased 50 hectares of vineyards along with their friends. The soil quality and the climate of these vineyards were perfect for growing the choicest quality of grapes.

The Sauvignon Blanc varietals grown here are extremely pure and pungent, but they don’t compromise on their fruity accents and aromas, and this expertly crafted example celebrates the virtues of elegance, vivacity and finesse. Most importantly, the Sauvignon Blanc grape is merely the chosen vehicle to express the free-draining Table Mountain Sandstone and Cape Granite soils on which the vines are planted.

Tasting Note:
Lively acidity and classy structure underpin pungent citrus fruit, gooseberry and grassy aromas, culminating in a wine of great poise, length and charm.

Au Bon Climat Chardonnay

20546

£26.79

£22.33 ex. VAT

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay

Founded in 1982, Au Bon Climat (which means "a well-exposed vineyard") produces internationally-recognized Pinot Noir & Chardonnay from grapes grown in California's Santa Barbara County. Located at the foot of one of California's most rated vineyards, Bien Nacido in the Santa Maria Valley, one of the finest sites in California, ideal for the production of the refined, Burgundian style of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to which Jim so aspires, ABC, as it is more commonly referred to, has won universal acclaim for its wines thanks to Jim 'Wild Boy' Clendenen, its winemaker & owner. Jim eschewed a career in law for the lure of the vine following a month's stay in Burgundy & Champagne when he was 21. He has never looked back, although he is frequently to be found darkening the doors along the stretch of the Cote d'Or. Unsurprisingly his wines combine the minerally precision & grace of Burgundy with the flair of the West Coast. He regards Burgundy as the benchmark to which he should aspire and buys clones of Pinot Noir from Burgundy in a bid to replicate as closely as possible the restraint and finesse of the wines from that region.
Au Bon Climat has been making balanced, food friendly Chardonnays since 1982. Even in the early 2000s when ripe, oaky Chardonnays were all the rage, Au Bon Climat stuck to a more subtle and refined style, with minerality and intensity. The 2016 Santa Barbara County Chardonnay is a beautiful example of the Au Bon Climat style. The flinty, stony aromas stand out while in the background is a hard spice note from sur lie barrel ageing. There are notes of lemon-lime and soft vanilla. With the first taste it is irresistible. This is one of those wines that invites the consumer to have another glass. At this young age, this wine would be perfect with shellfish or poultry. It will improve for at least 10 years and as it evolves, try this wine with chanterelle mushroom pasta and be amazed.

Tasting note:
This barrel fermented, full bodied Chardonnay has mouth filling citrus fruit and a palate cleansing, bright finish. It will become richer and more complex with age.

Ayala Blanc de Blancs

22183

£64.44

£53.70 ex. VAT

Established in 1820, the House of Ayala has an incredible history, with a pioneering and visionary personality at its helm, Edmond de AYALA always sought to go the extra mile. The name AYALA comes from the champenois village of Aÿ, where the House has been located since its creation. A pioneer in introducing a drier style, Edmond had the flair to launch “dry champagne” in 1865, with only 21 g/L. A bold statement in favour of purity, contrasting with the traditional French dosage of more than 150 g/L at that time, but it laid the foundations of the Champagne style we know today. Bollinger acquired AYALA in 2005, reaffirming its place in the Champagne Rolodex of stars.

Elaborated in limited quantities, exceptionally during the most expressive years, Le Blanc de Blancs brings to the light all of the elegance and the purity from the Chardonnay of the Côte des Blancs. This terroir is home to the most beautiful Chardonnays with a great ageing potential, including three Grands Crus which form the fundamentals of the blend.

Tasting Note:
Fresh and lively from the get-go, with a broad and appetising palate of white fruit and acacia honey, subtle pastry overtones. The finish is long and persistent, revealing a delicate salinity, along with hints of grapefruit and blood orange.
