  Terre Di Giumara Frappato Nerello Mascalese

  Vintage: 2011

  Bold red with a delicious savoury sour element and mouthfilling blackcurrant, liquorice and dark chocolate fruit. Deep, lingering and lasting red, a little like a Cabernet Sauvignon but with a fascinating wilder side of rosemary and herbs. Fabulously intense Italian wine.

  About this bottle: A blend of two wonderful Sicilian grapes: Frappato is locally famed for its amazing density of colour and longevity, and fruity Nerello Mascalese (Sicily's second most planted grape) contributes wild herb and tobacco characters. Winemaker Giuseppe Clementi blends these grapes equally: each makes up 50% of the wine. He ages 30% of this red in large oak tonneaux for 4 months to give complexity and smoothness

  Venta Real Reserva

  Vintage: 2007

  Rich, mouth-filling wine, with smoky plum notes alongside dark cherry, bramble and blackcurrant fruit. There are spicy, chocolatey tannins and a touch of acidity, too, keeping the palate really lively and lingering.

  About this bottle: Magdaleno Garcia Rojo has been working here at Venta Real for 30 years and he perfectly understands the land, the vines and the climate of Valdepeñas. To get the best out of his venerable 40-year old Tempranillo vines he gives their grapes a long, slow, 24-day fermentation, then rests the wine in oak barrels for at least a year. Valdepeñas means 'valley of the rocks', and this rocky landscape - carved out by the Jabalón River in sun-baked Central Spain - is the perfect terroir for heart-warming red wines.

  Foxwood Viognier

  Vintage: 2011

  Mouthfilling, satin-smooth Viognier with bracing orangey acidity, gentle hints of lychee and tropical fruit, and an underlying peachstone warmth. Give it a swirl to reveal a tantalizing note of apple Tarte Tatin developing on the finish.

  About this bottle: Medal-winning white made by expert winemaker Guillaume Bonzoms who makes a strict selection of the finest Viognier grapes from specially chosen Languedoc vineyard sites. He then cold-ferments the fruit and matures the resulting wine on its yeast lees to reveal its full aromatic potential and rounded natural aromas.

  Montaignan Malbec

  Vintage: 2011

  Vibrant, mouthwatering red wine full of cranberry, cherry and redcurrant fruit, highly perfumed and vividly ripe right to the finish.

  About this bottle: Winemaker Xavier Roger has wine in his blood. His father, Jean Max Roger, is a respected winemaker from Sancerre, and Xavier has inherited his passion for making elegant wines.

  Alisios Riesling Pinot Grigio

  Vintage: 2012

  Poised, aromatic white, full of honeyed Riesling aromas and a light touch of apricot from the Pinot Gris in the blend. The two grapes sing out vibrantly on the palate too, with firm minerality and expressive sweet notes of peach.

  About this bottle: Light, fresh, unoaked white made with – as winemaker Miguel Almeida calls them – a truly funky pair of grapes: each a classic in its own right, but causing amazing sensations when blended together. The Riesling and Pinot Gris grapes (50% each) are cold-fermented and pressed carefully with a pneumatic press to preserve all their natural aromatics. They come from newly discovered vineyards of Campanha, in the pampas lands of southern Brazil, bordering Uruguay.

  Alisios Tempranillo Touriga Nacional

  Vintage: 2010

  Mellow, delicious red wine with intense strawberry and spice aromas and a vibrant core of warm red bramble fruit. Enticing toasty oak notes and a touch of liquorice on the finish. This is deftly made red, not too heavy, but richly complete.

  About this bottle: Winemaker Miguel Almeida chooses grapes from his home territory for this blend - Portuguese Touriga Nacional and Spanish Tempranillo, each 50% of the wine. These red varieties both thrive in Brazil's southern pampas region, Campanha, near the Uruguayan border. Each is famed for its complex, food-friendly reds, and blended together they develop masses of quirky mouthwatering characters that are hard to resist.
