Churton Organic Pinot Noir 2020
' ''From site selection and biodynamic practices through to low intervention winemaking, the ultimate aim at Churton is to produce exceptional, terroir-driven wines. We produce organically certified wines that reflect the diversity of our individual blocks and produce wines that combine texture, complexity, flavour and length. All wines hail from our vineyard, Churton wines undergo a slow natural fermentation before resting on lees and spending time in bottle to develop layers of flavour and enhance integration before release. Each Churton cuvee is produced with minimal French oak influence while the Natural State range, created by Ben and Jack, has no oak influence and even less intervention. There are no additions to the Natural State Wines: we merely guide the fruit to bottle for enjoying in youth.'' '
Roda Sela Rioja 2023
Bodegas Roda Sela is a refined expression of Rioja Alta, crafted from old bush vines of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha planted near the historic town of Haro. Low yields, careful hand-harvesting, and 12 months in French oak make this a wine of real elegance and concentration — a step up from everyday Rioja without stepping away from what makes the region great. Why You'll Love It Introduced in 2008, Sela has quickly become a benchmark for carefully crafted Rioja Alta. Bodegas Roda's philosophy centres on balance, elegance, and terroir expression — and this wine delivers all three. If you're looking for a Rioja that rewards attention without demanding it, this is it. Sustainably farmed, with minimal intervention in the winery. Vineyard & Production Sourced from 15–30-year-old bush vines whose low yields encourage phenolic maturity and concentrated aromatics. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently crushed before 19 days of maceration. The wine then spends 12 months in 100% semi-new French oak barrels, allowing fruit and oak to integrate seamlessly before bottling. Tasting Notes Bright ruby with layered red hues. The nose is intense and expressive — cherry, red berry, and hints of black fruit, with subtle mineral and oak notes. On the palate, the wine is wide and voluminous, with fine, well-structured tannins, ripe fruit concentration, and a long, persistent finish. Perfect Pairings Best served at room temperature alongside rich, flavourful dishes. Think roasted venison, beef fillet, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or hearty stews. Also excellent with aged hard cheeses and charcuterie. The Blend Tempranillo 94%, Graciano 3%, Garnacha 3% — DOCa Rioja Alta, Spain. Hand-harvested. 75cl bottle.
