70% Nero d’Avola & 30% Frappato

Sicily, Italy

Partially dried grapes, from ancient Sicilian agriculture, are harvested in late Autumn to create this aromatically complex wine. Passimiento is a wine that allows you to discover ancient and uniques tastes. This wine is a real gastronomic offering. It fully comes to life, showing a wider array of flavours when partnered with food. You have plenty of choice on what you go for but we’d recommend slow cooked duck leg. 

White

Viura/White Rioja

Rioja, Spain

The Monopole white Rioja is an attractive pale yellow colour with a soft floral, pear and apple nose and is quite smooth yet fresh on the palate. The winemakers now understand that the grape of white Rioja, which is called Viura, needs cooler sites and earlier harvesting – all the stuff that helps maintain the freshness of the grape. The grapes for Monopole white Rioja come from the higher altitude Rioja Alta and gain those vital Atlantic influences which help keep the grapes nicely balanced. Great with seafood paella, garlic prawns and grilled asparagus.

Red

Syrah, Mourvedre and Viognier

One of South Africa’s top wineries, Boekenhoutskloof.

A terrific Rhône inspired blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Viognier from one of South Africa’s top wineries, Boekenhoutskloof. These are the good people who bring us the famous and delicious Chocolate Block wine. The Wolftrap’s blend of grapes each play their part. The Syrah brings a lovely, black cherry, plummy spiced fruit, the Mourvedre a touch of smokiness and the Viognier smooths things out and gives a bit of vibrancy to the whole blend. Great wine for a barbecue.

At just £74.99 our Summer ‘Quaffable Case’ is the best selection of great value wines from the shop for everyday 'quaffing', mixing great quality with an exceptional price. In a smart, presentable 12 bottle case with full tasting notes. A case stuffed full of great quality, enjoyable wines with a couple of real gems thrown in just for good measure. At just £6.25 a bottle, for wines of this quality, this case really is a fantastic bargain!

Carignan

France

"De Chansac is a deep coloured wine with a lovely slightly spicy brambly fruit. It has flavours of bramble, wild plums and raspberry and a delicious fleshy smoothness. Modern winemaking techniques also play a key role. The grapes undergo a process called thermo-vinification which is used to extract maximum colour and flavour without the hard tannins that carignan is known for, hence the lovely smooth ripe mouth feel. The De Chansac is quite a flexible red wine, really at home with chargrilled meats and beef brisket but good also with duck, pork or turkey."
