Raventos i Blanc Cava L'hereu Reserva Brut 2006, Penedes (6) £11.99 £11.39
"L’Hereu de Raventos I Blanc was produced by the methode champenoise, unusual for such an inexpensive bubbly. A blend of Macabeo, Xarello, and Parellada, it exhibits an attractive mousse and refreshing crisp acidity on the palate. Balanced, tasty, and with good length, this is a great value in Cava." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : 90/100 Score
Jules Taylor Wines Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Marlborough £12.99 £12.34
Tenuta J. Hofstatter Gewurztraminer 2005, Alto Adige (6) £14.99 £14.24
Raventos i Blanc i Blanc Cava Gran Reserva 2003, Penedes (6) £18.50 £17.58
One of the great sparkling wines of Spain. Aged minimum 5 years on its lees prior to disgorgement, the Gran Reserva has stunning depth and complexity with minerals, brioche and lees character coming through strongly. No yeasty soda water cava here! Regarded as the most prestigious Cava house in Spain. Owned by Mr Raventos, who previously owned a large share in Cordoniu Cava house, he sold out to the rest of his family in 1982 and started this venture literally across the road, 45 minutes north of Barcelona in prime Cava territory. The Gran Reserva takes in some of the 60 year old Xarello vines which add such incredible Champagne-like depth and breadth to the wines.
Champagne Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV £26.00 £24.70
Le Mesnil is a beautiful, delicate, medium-bodied Champagne offering hints of flint, chalk, white peaches, honeyed grapefruit, and lemon zest. This beautiful Chardonnay tastes of liquid minerals and sings with of terroir. An impressive glassful at the price.

Tenuta J. Hofstatter Lagrein 2006, Alto Adige (6) £13.99 £13.29
Quinta de Macedos Lagar de Macedos 2002, Douro (6) £18.99 £18.04
Chateau Haut Brisson 2000, St Emilion Grand Cru £19.99 £18.99
Elegant nose, mineral tones, dark fruit, leather and smoke. Rich palate, full with grainy tannins, elegant fruit and good length, nice.
Volnay 1er Cru les Caillerets 2000, Michel Lafarge £42.00 £39.90
We are getting into the very big league now. There is enormous weight of raspberry, loganberry and cherry fruit. This time there is not fatness to the wine, but balanced and ripe tannins, a fine acid structure and soft velvet texture that touches the entire palate. One of the greats. 2008 to 2015.
