Reserva Mixed Selection - Case of 12

Journey's End Kendal Lodge Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon

Vintage: 2019

Scented with blackberry fruits and roasted herbs. A full-bodied partner for your Easter roast.

About this bottle: Kendal Lodge is the original homestead which stood guard over the vineyards in sight of False Bay. Winemaker Leon Esterhuizen of Journey's end crafted this red wine from grapes grown on prime Stellenbosch hillside sited close to the ocean, ageing in French oak to construct its fine texture.

Finca Constancia

Vintage: 2011

Intense, cherry-red wine with spicy aromas of blackberry and violets and a richly expressive array of berries and plum characters on the palate. Graceful, smooth and stylish right to the finish.

About this bottle: Winemaker Beatriz Paniagua Ortiz has created this blend of 30% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 13% Petit Verdot, 12% Graciano and 5% Tempranillo as a fanfare of all the grapes that thrive in the sunshine of the Spanish Sierra de Gredos. To give this fabulous blend extra richness and smoothness, she has aged it in French and American oak barrels for 13 months.

Aliwen Cabernet Sauvignon

Vintage: 2011

Gentle, well-rounded wine with vibrant aromas of red fruit and complex notes of blackcurrant, vanilla, chocolate and tobacco on the palate. Fabulously smooth, and rich with warm hazelnut tones on the finish, this is a multi-layered treasure of a wine: robust, but utterly mouthwatering.

About this bottle: A blend of Cabernet grapes from two regions: Maipo and Colchagua. The Maipo fruit comes from old vines – up to 20 years in age – grown on soils that are deep and stony and where warm summers are tempered by foggy mornings and cold evening breezes. Colchagua has constant sunshine but poorer, river bank soils. The resulting blend of fruit (70% Maipo to 30% Colchagua) has just the right balance of warm, ripeness and crisp acidity to keep the wine fresh.

Charles Smith The Honourable Riesling

Vintage: 2013

A dry and vibrant style of Riesling from Washington State with bright flavours of ripe lemons and limes and a balanced, moreish finish.

About this bottle: M&S Winemaker Belinda Kleinig sourced this punchy Riesling with Washington State’s most iconic and exciting new wave winemaker Charles Smith who is making an impression with bold, defined styles of wine with purity and character.

Santa Julia Seleccion Tempranillo

Vintage: 2012

Today this third generation family of winemakers continue their mission through many programmes that beneift the land and the people who work on it.

Santa Julia Viognier

Vintage: 2013

Classic Viognier with its irresistible bouquet of ripe tropical fruit, peach and honeysuckle.

About this bottle: Innovation is what has differentiated Familia Zuccardi from the very beginning. Since 1993 they have planted more than thirty varietals on their Santa Rosa property that had not been cultivated ever before in Argentina including the deliciously full bodied Viognier grape that this wine is made from.

LFE Gran Reserva Chardonnay

Vintage: 2013

Casablanca Valley is famous for its cool ocean breezes which allow grapes to ripen slowly and develop intense fruit flavour. This Chardonnay was partially aged in French oak barrels and shows the subtle complexity and great varietal character.

About this bottle: During every vintage on the Luis Fellipe Edwards estate, grapes selected from the best areas are vinified separately under the personal supervision of the Head Winemaker. These wines are always included in the family's private cellars and reserved for special occasions.

Domaine Mirabau ‘Les Domaines Auriol’

Vintage: 2013

A bright and autumnal southern French red bursting with bramble fruit and smokey spice aromas over an elegant palate of raspberry and cassis flavours with lively acidity.

About this bottle: This modern Roussillon red comes from southwest of Perpignan in the fertile hills between the Canigau mountains and the Mediterranean sea. Here, vines have thrived for centuries and grapes easily ripen, giving the local winemakers considerable options. To give this wine its balance, the winemakers vinified the grapes in two ways, using Beaujolais-style carbonic maceration to draw as much fruity exuberance as possible from the Syrah, while vinifying the Grenache traditionally to give the wine its depth and structure.

Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba DOCG

Vintage: 2012

This lively red shows aromas of red berries and cherries over hints of sun-baked earth, with cherry and bitter almonds flavours followed by a bright and tangy finish.

About this bottle: While it’s often overshadowed by Piedmont’s more famous grapes Nebbiolo and Barbera, Dolcetto offers the canny wine drinker bags of tangy Italian fruit character. Produced in the tiny Diano d’Alba village, nestled between the heavyweight Barolo and Barbaresco areas, this generous red was crafted by winemaker Daniele Ponzo. Sourcing grapes from mature vineyards in the Langhe hills, Daniele carefully vinified the wine at low temperatures to extract all the grapes’ character, leaving it unoaked to enhance the freshness.

Terre di Giumara Grillo

Vintage: 2013

This gorgeous golden Sicilian white offers intriguing notes of lime, ripe pear and ground almond over a tingling fresh backbone of green apple and tropical fruit flavours.

About this bottle: Grillo is an historic Italian grape variety that thrives along Sicily’s south-western coast near Marsala where it is an important component of the area’s famous sweet wine. But Grillo also makes excellent dry whites when the grapes are carefully grown and vinified, such as this example from Terre di Giumara. Winemaker Giuseppe Clementi is an expert in bringing the best out of this and the island’s other indigenous grapes, creating a wine with a wonderful balance of freshness and complexity.

Domaine du Haut Perron, Touraine
