BROOKFIELD PETIT VERDOT - AUSTRALIA The Brookfield name comes from a conservation park in South East Oz. One of their particular conservation concerns is the "Hairy-nosed Wombat"! Petit Verdot traditionally is used to add depth to the reds of the Haut-Medoc, however there are many new world plantings reaping great rewards. It's a rich and tannic flavour which can need a few years in the bottle - 7 out of 10. |
£5.20 |

PERDEBERG PINOTAGESouth Africa - 2005 Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut conceived in South Africa in 1925 but not widely planted until the 1950's. It's a bit of a love-hate grape, the main characteristics are plums, red berries and dark rich fruit. |
£5.52 |

VISTAMAR MERLOT - Chile 2005 I've always liked Merlot - "Red wine without the Tears" as someone once said! - It can claim to be one of the Masters of the red wine world, yet at the same time, can make a wine of fat, juicy character without tannic bitterness ready to drink almost straight from the vineyard. Blackberries with a touch of spice! |

 |
SANTA LUISA CHARDONNAY - Mendoza, Argentina 2005 You can tell by the colour of this that it bears no relation to the Yellow, heavily oaked Chardonnay's of Australia. Despite the light colour, it is still a substantal wine, with apple and citrus aromas and a buttery, rich aftertaste. Light seafood dishes and chicken do the job! |
£5.23 |
 |
DOMAINE GRAUZAN SAUVIGNON BLANC - France 2005 This wine is a twin to the Cabernet Sauvignon from last month, which seems to have gone down very well. Old world climate and environment with some new world "pazazz". Good prices too. |
£5.92 |
 |
VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI - "TERRE CORTESE" 2005 I had to buy this just for the bottle! That aside - this is quite special. Grown in hills near the Adriatic coast, it's become central Italy's most promising white of the last ten years. When young it is fresh & fruity, ideal with fish, but has enough strength to age into wine of some great depth. |
