Notes : Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc plus a drop of Macabeo. Very fresh, soft citrus and good acidity on the palate, gentle fruity nose. Very much liked on the evening and good value.<\/p>\n
Notes : Roussanne Macabeo blend. Rather \u2018dumb\u2019 on the nose, somewhat austere and a touch flabby on the palate, clearly not showing at its best on the night \u2013 is it \u2018sleeping ?\u2019<\/p>\n
Notes : From a very old Estate (ca. 1495), blend of 50% Syrah, 25% Grenache and 25% Mourvedre. Relatively light and fruity with good acidity and mineral backbone on the palate, nose slightly \u2018jammy\u2019 but NOT on the palate, with a savoury finish. Good value<\/p>\n
Notes : Rich red and black fruit nose, good depth and colour, this is 70% Carignan with the remainder Grenache and Syrah. From a more northern organic vineyard, some real structure here ; again, excellent value for money.<\/p>\n
Notes : A very unusual wine, very pale red, almost like a Pinot Noir. Light on the palate with a shortish finish, quite elegant for such low extract (only 13% BV). A blend of Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Carignan, the winemaker (ex-Rugby player!) clearly intended this light style. Not really sure it works, quirky and expensive.<\/p>\n
Notes : Vineyard is almost in Spain, close to Banyuls. Mainly Grenache by an Argentinian winemaker, a full and deep red with a serious mineral backbone, almost \u2018crunchy\u2019 on the palate. Fruit and tannins remarkably mature and structured, a serious wine. Good value.<\/p>\n
Notes : A traditional Vin Doux Naturel from Roussillon and Banyuls, fortified to 16% BV with sugars at ca. 90g\/l. This is the reductive style with real red fruit but soft and sweet, no edges. Went wonderfully well with IOW Blue Cheese.<\/p>\n
Notes: Made in the more widely known oxidised style, a Grenache Gris and Macabeo blend fortified to 19% BV. Grown on schist soil so good minerality and packed with amazing rich fruit and fruit-cake flavours. A great dessert wine.<\/p>\n
