Tasting notes:

This wine is a particularly special one for me, as it comes from a collaboration between myself and Ray O’Connor. We decided we wanted to give Fine Wine Club members the chance to taste a true Merlot from the coast of Tuscany, taking inspiration from one of the world’s most famous Super Tuscans, Tua Rita Redigaffi. It’s a wine that has received astronomical ratings and reviews, but in order to taste it, you have to pay over £200 for a bottle.

Tasting notes:

It’s with great pride that my family and I present you with our Para Muestra Un Botón. It comes from El Bierzo, a very small region in the northwest of Spain, which has been steadily making a name for itself over the last decade for the extraordinary quality of its wines and their distinctive character. The combination of El Bierzo’s old vines (some of our grapes come from vines that are nearing a century in age), the Mediterranean microclimate, the considerable rainfall and scorching summer temperatures, makes it a totally unique region.

Tasting notes:

Burgundy is considered a cool climate region, but in 2020 and 2022 it certainly did not feel like that with both years seeing extremely high temperatures and early vintages. 2021 was much more traditional with a cooler summer allowing the fruit to ripen over a much longer period. 

Tasting notes:

I am delighted to introduce you to one of our finest creations, Château Poitevin 2016. This wine is a true representation of the Médoc region’s unique terroir and the expertise that goes into every bottle of wine we produce.

Tasting notes:

The Caminho da Costa Tinto Reserva comes from the Pinhão Valley in the Cima Corgo - a small region at the very heart of the Douro. Although this is a region famed for its Port wines, the higher elevations of the region produce exceptional wines with a unique richness and longevity.

Tasting notes:

My 2020 Tempranillo hails from Oregon’s Umpqua Valley, nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the Coastal range just south of its famous neighbour, the Willamette Valley. Few remember that a lot of winemaking pioneers started here - for instance the first Pinot Noir vines in Oregon were planted in the Umpqua in 1961 and the first Tempranillo vines in Oregon were planted here in 1995.
