Tampesta Maneki D.O Tierra de Leon

Tampesta  Maneki is again made from the Albarin grape, although aged for longer on the lees to impart complexity and body. There was also a brief spell in oak.

The resultant wine is lovely. Full, rich and round in the mouth with noticeable peach flavours, ending with a long nutty finish. It is “gourmet” in style ideally paired with cured meats and good cheese. If you prefer a lighter fresher style of wine then opt for Tampesta’s Albarin instead.

Tampesta Neko is a brand new wine made from the Godello grape.

Pale gold with good clarity. Some gentle legs. Full and fresh in the mouth with pear drop flavours, well balanced natural acidity and a long dry finish.

This is a lovely fresh wine, low in sulphites, ideal for summer. If you can let it breathe for ten minutes as being a new young wine it will benefit and soften a little.

Malcaracter “Julia” Verdejo DO Rueda

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.

Recuerdame organic sauvignon blanc

Recuerdame Organic Dominio de la Vega is a barrel aged organic wine made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. That said it is a complex aromatic wine with full body and gentle acidity, about as far as you can get from the typical New Zealand or Chilean Sauvignons that dominate the market. Ideal with food from cured meats, good cheeses to buttered fish and herby pasta dishes, even roast pork or turkey. It’s a gourmet wine with a very long finish, well worth trying a bottle as wines like this are rare and hard to come by.

Lorca Natural Blend

A brand new wine from Mauricio Lorca. As I’ve known Mauricio for many years now, when he decided to produce a sulphite free wine we were the obvious choice to market it so we bought roughly half of the very limited quantity he produced.

It’s hand picked and hand selected fruit from his best vineyards at Finca los Inicios in the Uco Valley at over 1000 meters altitude. The wine is superb as you would expect from Mauricio. Being sulphite free is a bonus.

Deep opaque ruby with good legs and a natural nose. Big concentrated black and red fruit flavours with subtle liquorice and a hint of violet coming in on the long finish. Medium weight and body, smooth and velvety on the palate with the perfect combination of power from the Malbec and elegance from the Cabernet Franc producing a superbly balanced wine well suited to food (but great on it’s own too).

Audacia Codebreaker Red

Audacia Codebreaker is a fantastic no added sulphur blend from this artisan producer.

Deep purple with ruby edges. A powerful natural nose followed by big deep flavours.

There is a balance of initial restrained fruit, then the oak followed by a lighter fruit lift as with Rhone reds blending in some Viognier. It’s very smooth, full and round with power and a long finish.

In my opinion this is superb. Sulphite free wine South African style!

Some straight Cabernet Sauvignons can be a bit “dry” but this lovely blend retains the fruit flavours and elegant feel to the end.

Kovak Amelie Rose

Pale copper in colour with gentle legs.

Good fruit upfront, strawberry and cherry, with decent body and mouthfeel. A little citrus comes through on the clean, crisp finish.

This is very nice wine! Don’t be put off by the poor photo or the screwcap, the 2022 we have in stock is actually in a Bordeaux shaped bottle and the label (drawn by Boris’s young daughter Amelie) looks much better in person!

This is a great option for the roasting hot summer weather.

This organic Cazot Blanc from Boris Kovac and David Serodes is a delicious blend fermented in stainless steel with a small portion of the wine then aged in new French oak.

The wine is a clear pale gold. Big nose with melon aromas then concentrated melon flavours on the palate. Quite full in the mouth but not heavy or cloying. Finishes clean and fresh.

Ver Sacrum Gloria Garnacha S

Ver Sacrum is a very exciting newcomer. It’s basically Eduardo’s garage and a rented warehouse. A small group of Vignerons returning the original Spanish grapes to Argentina, and making the wines as naturally as possible.

This Garnacha S is fantastic. Partial carbonic maceration to avoid extracting too much tannin. Then fermented in both used 500ltr Fremch oak barrels and clay amphorae (with no skin contact, again minimising tannin extraction).

Then aged in both small oak casks and clay amphorae for 18 months, bottled and aged for a further 20 months prior to release.

Red fruit flavours with natural acidity giving it a lift (much in the style of good GSM or Chateauneuf), super smooth with a very long finish. Eduardo has achieved a great balance without the wine being “heavy”, keeping it in an elegant and classical style.

The Fledge & Co Stellenbosch Cabernet

This is the maiden release of this new artisan wine which Leon just launched in Johannesburg at the end of August. He produced just 1880 bottles.

Leon says it is still tight so will benefit from decanting.

Delicious! Deep ruby opaque. Black fruit initially with some lighter red fruit toward the finish and integrated but noticeable oak. Good weight on the palate and super smooth. I decanted it to give it some air but I reckon it’d be a great wine to savour throughout an evening from freshly opened to fully aerated. Ideal in front of a log fire!

Boplaas Sparkling Pinot Noir Rose 2022

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.

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.

Boplaas Gamka Branca 2020

We have a very limited quantity of the 2020 vintage due in first week of December.

Given the huge success with their flagship Gamka red, Margaux opted to produce a classic white Cape Blend too.

It’s a blend of Chardonnay, Viognier, Grenache blanc, Verdelho & Chenin Blanc from different regions – Elgin, Stellenbosch, Swartland and Klein Karro, so pretty much the entire Western Cape.

It was both barrel fermented and barrel matured on the lees for nine months. Bottled unfined and unflitered to retain the goodness.

Pale gold in colour with wonderful clarity. Full in the mouth with a melange of fruit flavours, delicate balanced acidity and a very long bone dry finish. This is a great wine!

Only 1400 bottles produced!

Cave de Cairanne Organic Gigondas

Gigondas had become known as “the poor man’s Chateauneuf du Pape” a decade ago, although I think that is a bit tongue in cheek as the wines can still command a hefty price. The wines can be amazing and although this AC has developed a very strong reputation for high quality, they still tend to be a bit cheaper than equivalents from Chateauneuf.

This wine is superb. Big and powerful as you would expect, with full body. Super smooth with acidity and oak in perfect balance, and a very long lingering finish. Highly recommended. Cave de Cairanne make all their reds in a fruit forward style and minimise the tannins (by de-stemming etc) so the wine is ready to drink young. For this reason we recommend you drink within a couple of days once opened, but it is so delicious you will probably drink it within a couple of hours in reality!
