Nero D'Avola Sicilia
Vintage: 2017
A ripe and concentrated full-bodied red with deep blackberry and spiced plum aromas over peppery cherry and berry flavours.
About this bottle: Nero d'Avola is Sicily's premium grape variety, selected for its ability to thrive in the island's arid heat. Local expert Stefano Chioccioli crafted this powerful red from low-yielding vines, picking the grapes early in the morning to retain their freshness, then maturing the wine in oak for 12 months to soften its rugged charms.

Château Richemont Rouge
Vintage: 2011
A smooth and easy-drinking Bordeaux red with hallmark aromas of cassis, leather and cedarwood. Flavours of creamy ripe plum and blackcurrant leaf are underpinned by fine tannins and a delicious savoury note in this stylish, lightly oaked red.
About this bottle: Château de Sours dates back to the 14th century, and vines were first planted here by the Comtes du Richemont in the late 1700s. Made for us by one of Bordeaux's talented new-wave of winemakers Valerie Valmy, Château Richemont red is a terrific example of how modern techniques and traditional know-how can be used to create wines with both purity of flavour and a real sense of place. Made predominantly from Merlot with a splash of leafy Cabernet Franc, this wine was aged for a short period of time in French oak barrels to lend texture and depth of flavour.

Manzanos Rioja Crianza
Vintage: 2011
Lovely pure-fruited red, dense and concentrated, powerfully structured right to the finish. Expect blackcurrant and berries, blueberry and smokey violet notes with a twist of oaky, spicy barrel-tannins at the edge. This is full-bodied red Rioja with great gravitas and presence, and a real emphasis on powerful fruit.
About this bottle: Thirty-two year old winemaker Borja Ripa is blazing a trail in Rioja with his own brand of powerful red wines. Borja sources the fruit for this young Rioja from the finest Rioja Baja vineyards, macerates the wine on its grape skins for 21 days, and matures it in American and French oak barrels for 18 months. Its wonderful intensity of fruit is testament to the age of vines chosen, some of which are over 50 years old.

Dubeouf Morgon
Vintage: 2011
Fabulous bitter cherry, plum and red fruit aromas, followed by crisp strawberry and cranberry fruit really mark out this red’s lively character. It fills the palate with its lovely velvety texture, and remains cheery, bright and boisterous right to the finish. A gentle tang of black pepper keeps it lingering and long on the palate.
About this bottle: Morgon is one of the most loved of the ten Beaujolais crus. Its flavours are among the most classic and identifiable, with all the supple fruitiness of the region’s Gamay grape combined with the structure and charm of a red Burgundy. The winemaking team use gnarly 50 year-old vines for this wine, which give added depth and richness. Semi-carbonic maceration is used, with fermentation at relatively high (28–32˚C) temperatures keeping flavours bright and berryish.

Vinus Paul Mas
Vintage: 2012
Vibrant savoury wine, full of welcoming red fruit characters with a hint of prune and a twang of Mediterranean herbs and liquorice. Its vibrant crisp acidity makes this red ultra moreish and tangy right to the end of the glass.
About this bottle: A southern French classic, made from the darling red grapes of the Languedoc, Syrah and Grenache. Syrah is renowned for its gutsy dark berry fruited wines with hints of leather and spice. Grenache is famed for its vibrant upfront fruit, low tannin and vivid appealing colour. Winemaker Jean-Claude Mas sources these grapes from wonderful ancient vines – 45 years old for the Syrah, 60 for the Grenache – thus adding even greater gravitas to this wine.

Blau Montsant
Vintage: 2011
Rich, inky, dark red wine, full of gorgeous blackcurrant intensity. Deep raisin, dark berry and fig aromas are followed by layers of leather, oak and blueberry fruit. The modest tannins and subtle grip of acidity give this wine excellent structure, and a hint of vanilla oak adds sweetness and breadth.
About this bottle: Winemaker Nuria Sarroca uses 50% Mazuelo and 25% each of Garnacha and Syrah for this burly Spanish red. It comes from the newly demarcated Montsant region of northern Spain. Here the vineyards nestle among olive groves, forests and rocky outcrops, and share similar mountainous terrain to the famous neighbouring region of Priorat. The rich, dark, powerful wines are very similar too. Nuria uses fruit from old vines (20 years plus), and ages this red for four months in.
