Sensibel by name but certainly not by nature, the By Latue Sensibel (another name for Tempranillo) has all the rich depth of flavour that you would expect from this noble variety. This is a juicy and versatile medium-bodied red from central sunny Spain that has crunchy red fruit with delicious black cherry flavours. It’s smooth on the palate with soft ripe tannins and just a hint of toasty oak to balance. This wine is a tribute to the ancestors of the winemakers at Bodegas Latue, who called the Tempranillo grape variety ‘Sensibel’.

Matured for only 3 to 4 months in oak, this wine has an attractive red colour with violet hues and aromas of intense ripe fruit such as cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and fresh plums, combined with spicy and floral hints. On the palate, the intense and concentrated fruits are coated by smooth tannins making each sip more tantalising. Gualtallary is famed for its distinctive and complex wines; the high altitude allows the grapes to ripen slowly to develop intense flavours while retaining fresh acidity and producing a lighter more elegant style Malbec. Elegant, complex and long lasting!

With some bottle ageing, this 2018 packs a punch. Nerello Mascalese is Sicily’s star variety and usually grown around the foot of Mount Etna. These mineral-rich volcanic soils help the vines produce grapes that are rich in both complex minerals and a fine acidity. This exciting red has smoky minerality with rich red cherry fruit and a nimble body that dances along the palate.

This exciting red from Lisboa is a single varietal Bastardo (Trousseau from the Jura), which gives a light and fresh style of red, which can be chilled. The grapes are handpicked, then fermented spontaneously in concrete, with light pump overs for a gentle extraction and maturation for a year to soften. A delicious vibrant red, with charming currant, cherry and floral aromatics. The palate is elegant, with smooth tannins and a well balanced acidity.

Perfect with white meats, salmon, grilled prawns and Mediterranean dishes.
