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.

Sangiovese comes in many guises in the hands of Italian winemakers and this is given the classic treatment with the added bonus of organic status. Dense, ruby red in colour, intense flavours of juicy black fruit and jam like qualities with undertones of spices, liquorice and violets. Harmonious and silky tannins give a well structured body with a luscious, fruit back palate leading to a long lingering finish.

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’.

Grenache and Syrah predominate in this cuvee, with just 10% each of Carignan and Cinsault. All grapes are hand harvested at a family run estate, and fermentation is natural. The resultant unoaked wine is all about pure fruit enjoyment, and it’s guaranteed!
