Wine Best Buys, Great Value, Affordable, Sale Wine
Here we’re listing a selection of great value affordable wines. Some are “bin ends” which we are discontinuing. Others are simply good wines at the right price which we keep in stock, and others may be parcels of wine which we were able to buy on a good deal
Either way all these wines are good value and most importantly good quality.

This vintage is excellent once again.

A fantastic new wine which is a pet project from our favourite Spanish supplier. Cecilia had Rosa Zarza make the wine, and many of you will have enjoyed her reds such as the Incredulo wines and the superb Tinta Rosa and 14 Meses. Well here Rosa has made a superb Verdejo from organically grown grapes. This “Julia” has now been rebranded this vintage under Malcaracter’s name where the wine is actually made, and presentation has changed – we don’t have an up to date image as yet. They are basically all working together producing a small selection of superior wines and it made sense for them to have the “Julia” under the Malcaracter brand.
The wine itself is of course the same excellent quality and is delicious and highly recommended. Low in sulphites so a great healthy lifestyle option.

Tinto de Abel is an organic red made from the Bobal grape, hand harvested and lightly pressed.
Soft and fruity, easy drinking, gentle tannins. Very enjoyable, great wine for BBQs!
Please note Jane had a very mild reaction to the sulphites so if you have a sulphite allergy you may wish to avoid this wine. I enjoyed it and for everybody else it’s a great healthy wine, we are just being extra cautious as we have quite a few customers who suffer from the sulphite allergy, so we haven’t given it a low sulphite rating (despite it being low compared to mainstream wines!

Pinot Noir, hand harvested from a low yielding single vineyard. Boplaas only produce this wine in exceptional years.
It’s made via the tank method rather than fermented in bottle, and the juice is left on the lees in tank for six months before racking off and bottling to add complexity.
Pale salmon in colour. Red berry flavours on entry with a fine persistent mousse, gentle acidity, finishing bone dry. It’s delicious in the drier style as opposed to our Rose Cava from Dominio de la Vega which is sweeter on entry with a little more residual sugar. If you like your sparkling wines dry this is the Rose for you.

A blend of Macabeo and Xarel Lo from selected individual vineyards at altitude. Hand sorted etc and only the free run juice is used. Being a Reserva it has a minimum of 18 months bottle age, and being Brut Nature the tirage doesn’t have added sugar so this wine is fully fermented to result in a drier style on the finish.

Variety 100% Macabeo from the La Vega vineyard, harvested by hand then hand sorted to select only the best grapes. Being a Cava it is produced via the traditional (Champagne) method of secondary fermentation in bottle. The resultant wine was aged on the lees in bottle for a minimum of 18 months qualifying it for “Reserva” status, which means creamier, fuller and more integrated in style – more the richer “Champagne” style than Prosecco.
This wine is an excellent alternative to Champagne and great value.

A lovely wine from an artisan family winery producing wines in a natural style. The winery was built on a gravity feed system and uses pneumatic presses to extract only the best juice. They practice sustainable farming and winemaking.
Very deep opaque ruby, red fruit on the nose and big legs sticking to the side of the glass.
Soft and silky on the palate with red and black fruit flavours, and good palate cleansing acidity on the long finish.

A unique wine fermented with Japanese Sake yeast allowing for much cooler fermentation. Aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks for 12 months to gain complexity.
This is a true artisan Pinot Noir, elegant and soft with red fruit flavours and well balanced acidity. Great any time but particularly good with the turkey!
This is a poor photoshopped image – the wine is in a very impressive heavyweight dumpy bottle and looks fantastic (makes a great gift!)

These sauvignon grapes were fermented with Sake yeast – Vina Marty is the only winemaker outside Japan permitted to use it.
The wine is clear gold in colour with legs and a complex nose. Big concentrated flavours with a very long finish. Presented in a fabulous heavyweight bottle too.
This is a special wine with very restricted allocation.

A new wine from Meyer. Although he started producing this a couple of years ago as an entry level introduction to his superb wines, this is the first time we’ve been able to get any as it is extremely popular.
It’s a natural wine fermented with it’s own yeasts, unfined and unfiltered leaving the natural antioxidants in there. Sealed with a wax top. The free SO2 has remained free so while it’s a healthy wine we don’t recommend it for anybody with a sulphite allergy. Opt for one of the fantastic wines from Audacia instead.
Deep ruby. Mouth filling and round with initial red fruits turning to black fruits on the dry finish. Enjoy it with a roast or BBQ.

Pale gold in colour with a lychee nose. Reminded me very much of good Awatere Valley Sauvignon. It has big concentrated fruit flavours with gentle natural acidity (rare in sauvignon blanc) and a very long dry finish.
A great summer wine, also will pair well with food.
