Thistledown- She's Electric Old Vine Grenache
Barossa Valley, Australia
1 x 75cl Bottle
Grenache is a grape variety that takes a back seat to the Cabernet and Merlot of this world even though its the main grape in wine from chateauneuf du pape.
Produced in the the Barossa valley in Australia this wine is a favourite of famous wine writer Jancis Robinson. Big but silky, spicy but velvety and fruity but complex, this wine is a little bit of a contradiction but because the grape variety is of the lesser known type it tends to give great value for money.
Chateau la Verriere
Bordeaux Superieur, France
1 x 75cl Bottles
Bordeaux at a lower price level can be a hit or miss affair but with this wine we have found you a gem.
Its from the 2016 vintage and it is a 91 point decanter wine that is drinking perfectly now. Mostly made up of Merlot with a little Cabernet added for good measure.This wine has balance of fruit and structure,fruit and spice and great length. Expect cherry, blackberry fruit and mint toffee and supple spice on the finish.
Finca Resalo Ribera Del Duero
Ribera Del Duero Spain
1 x 75cl Bottles
This wine is made from the Tempranillo grape variety, a grape made famous by the wines of Rioja. The main difference with this area of Spain is that they tend to make bigger bolder wines and they call the grape Tinto Fino.
You can expect to taste Mulberry, cherry, some liquorice and a good deal of spice in here.The tannin's are on the assertive side which is exactly what you need when you're having a burger or a steak from the barbecue.
Zuccardi Bonarda
Mendoza Argentina
1 x 75cl Bottles
Bonarda is the B movie actor from Argentina, taking a big second place to Malbec but its a grape that is more silk and sensuality than muscle and when well made can make a beautiful very easy to drink softer style of wine.The nose is quite intense with hints of strawberry and blackberries, cassis and vanilla. The first sip will give you red fruits such as strawberry and sweetened blackberries finishing with a touch of spice.
Sodera Cabernet Sauvignon
Puglia Italy
1 x 75cl Bottles
This excellent red comes from southern Italy. The land in this part of the world tends to be a lot less expensive and the sun tends to shine more than in other parts of Europe which in turn tends to give you a really good value to quality ratio which means that you get a lot of wine for your money. This wine is no different.
Expect a full bodied lush style of Cabernet with all the flavours you would expect such as cassis, sun ripened blackcurrants, dark chocolate and a touch of mint and vanilla on the finish.
Segredos de Sao Miguel Tinto
Alentejo-Portugal
1 x 75cl Bottles
The keys on the label refer to the name which translates into the "secrets of Sao Miguel" We still don't know what the secrets are but if you find out give us a call. The quality of the wine however is no secret. its a medium to full bodied red that gives you tons of ripe succulent juicy fruits.
As well as being the perfect barbecue wine it is also a firm favourite among some of Ireland's coolest restaurants.
