Spectator Wine Offer

Classic Rioja from small, quality-focused family winery, Bodegas Zugober, in the prestigious Rioja Alavesa area.

This is classic Provence rosé. So pale and delicate, yet fruity. A real crowd-pleaser. Floral notes coupled with that kind of rich stone fruit you only get from wines from this part of France. A summer staple.

Immediately enticing with its notes of summer berries and crème de cassis, this is a smooth, supple Cabernet Franc with fine, silky tannins. From a stellar vintage, this is the fruit of an age-old vineyard in Saumur-Champigny, a discreet appellation punching above its weight. (Saumur-Champigny, Anjou)

With an intense nose of exotic fruits and pear, this wine is ripe, fresh and creamy on the palate, with aromatic persistence and a lengthy finish.

Soft-shelled Mosel loveliness and clipped lemony precision, opening onto ample apricot fruit. This will mellow and meld with age but frankly, why wait when it’s this good now?!

Intense jet-ruby in colour, this has a fresh nose, redolent of fresh berries, blended with rose, violet and wild herbs. There is a hint of citrus, accentuating a sense of focus. The palate is silken and beautifully rounded, rich in plump primary fruit underscored by earthy minerals and heady floral aromatics – a very complete Mendoza Malbec, well-balanced with layered complexity, fruit enhanced by mocha richness.

“2018 was in many ways a perfect growing season in Ribera de Duero. Following three years of drought, the spring rains were very welcome. We avoided the problems of mildew so, when summer began in earnest in July, it was smooth sailing to harvest. A very early harvest secured lovely freshness. It really is a dream come true ….” PETER SISSECK June 2019 90%Tempranillo (locally known as Tinto del Pais) 10% Garnacha , matured for 20 to 22 months in stainless steel tanks and large oak vats
