Easter Wine Food Pairing - Meat

A rare and well-balanced Tannat from the remote Ica Valley in the Peruvian desert. Ripe and harmonious. Smooth and smoky.

Zugober is a small family estate in the Rioja Alavesa zone. Their wines are classically structured but carefully balanced, allowing the fruit to shine.

Exuding all the violet scent and baked bramble fruit for which the Rhône is famous. Perfectly pitched between ripe-fruited richness and lively freshness

Elegant Cabernet Franc from pioneering producers in one of Chile's most exciting wine regions, Licantén, an oasis just a stone's throw from the Pacific.

Made in the heart of Mendoza by a boutique winery overlooking the stunning Andes mountains, this is a premium example of Argentina's signature grape, Malbec.  

An enveloping, oak aged claret, with a core of rich, raspberryish Merlot supported by Cab Sauv's firm backbone, Cab Franc adding herbaceous elegance.

Refined and elegant, made in the style of white Burgundy, just 12km from the Pacific in the Aconcagua Costa.

Rich, fruity Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend from award winning family producers, Nelson Estate.

Deep plum-ruby in colour, this is immediately inviting, presenting a nose rich in plump, ripe, cherries and berries, delicate spice and a savoury, mushroom character, all reflected on a generous, fresh, high-toned palate

This blend of indigenous grape varieties Tannat, Pinenc and Cabernet Sauvignon from the foothills of the Pyrenees, pays tribute to Gascony's wonderful winemaking heritage with its wooden label and wax seal.    

A nose full of dark raisin-like berries, forest fruit and bitter cherry along with lifted violet aromas. The palate is pure, with chalky minerality and a leafy, herbaceous character so typical of Cabernet Franc. There is a freshness here that is hugely attractive and a finish of real length. Very good!

Le Carquelin is one of the most cherished parcels in Moulin-à-Vent and sits together with Champ de Cour in the Labruyère hierarchy. It has muscular tannins in youth and needs some time in the cellar.

Quinta da Manoella VV Wine & Soul 2014

Finca Bella Vista Achaval-Ferrer 2015

Jet-plum-ruby, bright and intense to a tight, bright rim, this offers black and red fruit on the nose, complemented by grilled fennel. Earthy and mineral, with citrus notes - bitter orange - and opulent cherry liqueur, this has a multi-layered complexity and sensuality. The palate echoes the aromatics presented on the nose, set within a luxuriant texture. Opulent yet fresh, focused and spiced this has a poised, protracted, elegant finish.
