It's been a quiet start to January on the new wines front, though we've got an awful lot of exciting juice on the water heading this way. While we're waiting for these to arrive, there are still one or two choice morsels to get your teeth into:
We've long been fans of Seresin Estate's biodynamic wines so it's a joy to welcome their Chardonnay to the Red&White fold with its classic barrel fermented Kiwi stylings.
Our Portugese section has been long overdue a re-vamp, so the arrival (admitedly just before Christmas) of a quartet of delicious wines from Terra d'Alter in southerly Alentejo is a relief - two whites and two reds including the estate's flagship 'Outeiro' (now there's a wine with Robert Parker's name on it!)
Greece has been in similar need of attention but we now boast a Robola (crisp, refreshing white from Cephalonia) and Red Nemea from Gentilini and a Mavrodaphne of Patras (sweet red) alongside old faves Hatzidakis Santorini and Melikos Muscat.
Last but not least, a couple of exciting wines from iconic producer: Gaston Huet's Demi-Sec Vouvray 'Le Mont' joins the dry wine from the same vineyard, and, just in time for Chris' birthday, a couple of bottles of Krug Grand Cuvee have turned up from somewhere!
We'll be opening some of these wines (though sadly not the Krug) at Friday Mini Tastings over the next few weeks, and watch out for more exciting new arrivals, coming soon!
