2 x Mesta Organic Tempranillo 2014 (Spain)

Awarded Gold Medal: New World Wine Awards 2015

Awarded 5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

100% Tempranillo, from organically farmed vineyards.

"Wonderfully fragrant and inviting, the bouquet shows blueberry, plum, raspberry coulis and floral aromas with a hint of spice complexity. The palate is succulent and rounded with excellent fruit purity, beautifully enhanced by silky texture and supple tannins. A fabulous expression of the variety, this is not heavy and clunky, but it is bright, refreshing and very appealing, and offers terrific value." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

 

2 x Calmel & Joseph Côtes Du Roussillon-Villages 2014 (France)

Awarded 5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Awarded 17/20 points: Jancis Robinson MW

A classic blend of Syrah 40% ,Grenache 30%, Carignan 30% (old vines).

'Quite enchanting nose - fresh ripe damson, rosemary and the lightest note of just-ground coffee beans. Absolutely gorgeous! Vibrant and dense red fruit, almost luscious, sashays across the palate and winds itself around the tongue with shimmering energy.' Jancis Robinson MW

 

2 x Chateau Saint-Roch Cotes Du Roussillon Vieilles Vignes 2014 (France)

Awarded 90/100 Points: Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate

'The 2014 Cotes du Roussillon Vieilles Vignes is a super sexy, ripe, polished Roussillon that’s has lots of blueberry, strawberry, spice-box and dried flowers aromas and flavors. Made from close to equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Carignan, aged completely in concrete tanks, it’s a fabulous value to buy by the case for drinking over the coming 3-4 years.' Robert Parker
