Good afternoon wine lovers,

Our weekly selection is ready to be tasted here at Grand Cru. This week a new entry among the whites and two spicy reds to be enjoyed for the last few more barbecues this summer !

Don't forget they're all 10% off !

NEW ENTRY Saint Veran, Nicolas Potel, 2012 at £11.95

This is a Macon appellation, a neighbour of the renowned Pouilly Fuissé. It is harvested in eight districts, including Saint Véran and Solutré-Pouilly. This is a lively, fresh, vigorous wine. Good acidity and nice texture make of this wine a perfect companion of fish based dishes … a fresh seabass cooked in garlic garlic butter would just be awesome ! Serve it at 12° in order to fully enjoy this beautiful white Burgundy.

Tormenta Chile, Organic Sauvignon blanc, 2014 at £8.95 

A wine of massive aromatic intensity and character, exploding with tropical notes (passion fruit and mango) with citric and woolly hints. On the palate the wine has a crisp but full-bodied mouth-feel giving way to more layers of flavour such as of passion fruit, lime, gooseberry and grapefruit. The finish is very long and velvety. Outstanding.

Crozes-Hermitage, Colombo & fils, 2012 at £13.95

With grapes picked only from the Rhône's beautiful soils packed with rich alluvial deposits. 100% Syrah, traditionally vinified and aged in oak for a minimum of 12 months to produce an interesting and complex wine with good tannic structure, flavours of black plum and blackcurrant fruits complimented by a drop of cherry with a slight, but attractive earthiness. 

Solanera vinas viejas, Familia castano, 2013 at £11.95 

A beautiful dark shiny red colour, it displays notes of graphite, acacia flowers, black raspberries, blueberries and blackcurrants. Full-bodied and intense on the palate with silky sweet tannins. Stunningly pure and textured.

Cheers !
