Favourite wine: Hard to choose: love Champagne, especially with age. Rhone wines, Pinot Noir when it's sweet and pure, Riesling. Balanced, oaked Chardonnay, Australian Shiraz/Grenache/Mourvedre, as varietal's or blends Gruner Veltliner and Austrian dessert wines. Albarino, Godello and Txakoli. Loving Italian reds especially Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera.
Most annoying thing about wine trade: The lack of adventure in some wine drinkers: we've been drinking so & so's good ordinary Claret for years. Favourite food:I love outdoor cooking and have 7 barbecues. Meat in general! Slow roasted meats, top quality Burgers are hugely under-appreciated, also fish such as Turbot, Dover Sole, Brill.

As we move into Autumn (whatever happened to Summer?!) then we have a few fuller styles of wine, but of course we live in hope and some great bbq wines too. As ever a selection of new vintages of old favourites plus some new wines to our portfolio. A veritable smorgasboard of grape varieties, countries and styles, and all at the usual discounted mixed case price.
Our latest selection, hoping we have some decent weather with largely crisp whites and some bright reds that are great with a chill alongside some fuller examples that are great BBQ wines. International Wine Challenge 2021 Tuscan White Trophy, Italian White Trophy 95 points Lots of really pretty ripe fruit on the nose and palate.
The Argentinean Malbec bandwagon keeps on rolling. It's just a very popular style of wine. So if you like full bodied reds, along with a juicy steak or otherwise, this case may be for you. This features a variation of styles from some bright everyday wines along with bigger, richer fuller ones, including big rich oaky styles.
75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Vermentino from Southern France. A refreshing change from varietal Sauvignon Blanc; Sauvignon V blends vibrant Sauvignon with. Moving swiftly from 2019 to 2020. This is a good, fresh Pinot Noir that shows some typicity of the grape and for around 8! Strawberry and cherry fruit on the.
A six pack of some of the best selling wines in the Magpie Estate range, made by Rolf Binder and Noel. The latest Fakir! The first since 2012 and very different in style. The Grenache largely comes from the Neldner vineyards in Gomersal, we added a portion from. Mainly from one mature vineyard in the Western Ridge vineyard in the Barossa c 30 year old vine Cabernet Sauvignon, low yielding and picked ripe, but not.

Possibly Cambridge's top independent wine merchant (and there are quite a few to choose from), Noel Young is a bit of a way out of town, but has won awards galore and is certainly the place to go if you are looking for Austrian wines.
He also holds wine tasting sessions in his shop, but just remember to get someone to drive you home afterwards.
