Good afternoon wine lovers !
As usual here at Grand Cru we are ready to open our weekly selection !
As the weather gets chillier this week we’re suggesting you three spicy, bold and characterful reds to warm you up as well as two aromatic whites, perfect for a dinner party aperitif.
William Robertson Chenin Blanc 2015 at £9,25
An appealing light straw colour. Light with lovely ripe, attractive rounded fruit. Fresh floral nose and an exciting acid balance. Enjoy now as ana aperitif or with seafood, smoked salmon, roast chicken and pork.
Langlois, Sancerre, Chateau de Fontaine-Audon 2013 at £17,90
Pale straw yellow with greenish hues. The bouquet is intense, pronounced, pleasantly aromatic and typically varietal with citrusy and exotic fruit notes. On the palate, very good balance and freshness with a slightly astringency on the finish. Marked minerality.
Gayda Figure Libre Freestyle Rouge 2013 at £13,75
With a helping hand leant by the guys behind The Chocolate Block, South Africa's cult wine, this is one not to be missed. A very big, full bodied wine with red cherry flavours fitted out with black fruit backgrounds. Pepper and spice playing their vital role too.
Izadi Rioja Reserva 2011 at £12.95
Bright ruby red in colour with intense aromas of red fruit. On the palate lively red and black fruit flavours abound with gentle hints of oak, spice and toast. Well rounded and wonderfully balanced with a remarkable freshness on the long finish.
Mitolo Jester Shiraz 2013 at £12.25
Deep, dark red. The nose is bright, lifted and aromatic,with raspberry, blackberry and mint chocolate characters. The palate is concentrated with a luscious rolling texture and packed with fresh blackberry and plum, dark chocolate, liquorice and a hint of white pepper spice. The wine is juicy and plush with silky tannins that linger, providing a drying, savoury finish.

Cheers !
