Entrecote Merlot Cabernet Syrah 2024
Les Grands Chais de France Entrecôte is a richly expressive red wine from the Languedoc, showing dense purple-red colour in the glass. The wine offers aromas of wild berries, plum mousse, mulberries and rum pot, complemented by hints of other ripe fruits. On the palate, it is fruity, velvety and smooth, with a lingering finish that reveals subtle mineral notes from the clay and limestone soils. Vinification The wine is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes grown on clay and limestone soils. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, sorted and gently crushed before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees for several months to enhance texture and complexity before bottling. Tasting notes Dense purple-red colour with aromas of wild berries, plum mousse and mulberries. The palate is lush and fruity with a velvety texture, rounded tannins, and a long, mineral-tinged finish. Food match Serve at 15–18 °C with lamb stew, Thai cucumber salad, arugula penne, or a classic grilled entrecôte. Grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah
Ponte Villoni Edizione Privata 2025
Ponte Villoni Edizione Privata is a bold, expressive southern Italian red wine that brings together three of the region's most characterful indigenous varieties, Sangiovese , Primitivo , and Nero di Troia , in a rich, velvety cuvée with generous ripe fruit, smooth texture, and refined complexity. Crafted from hand-selected grapes harvested at peak ripeness, this is a wine of immediate pleasure and genuine depth, capturing the warmth and personality of southern Italian winemaking at a very approachable price. Why You'll Love It Ponte Villoni works closely with local growers across Italy's southern regions, combining modern winemaking techniques with classic Italian craftsmanship to produce wines of real character and charm. Edizione Privata Private Edition is their flagship blend: a wine that showcases the best of what the south can offer. Sangiovese brings structure and cherry fruit; Primitivo adds richness and spice; Nero di Troia contributes depth, colour, and a distinctive savoury edge. Together they are greater than the sum of their parts. Vineyard & Production Hand-selected grapes are harvested at peak ripeness to ensure richness and concentration. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve vibrant fruit purity, followed by gentle maturation to refine texture and integrate flavours. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour. Aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and dark berries on the nose, lifted by notes of vanilla, sweet spice, and a hint of cocoa. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, soft tannins, generous fruit, and a long, satisfying finish. Perfect Pairings A superb partner for grilled meats, tomato-based pasta dishes, slow-cooked Italian stews, and mature hard cheeses. Also excellent with pizza, aubergine parmigiana, and charcuterie boards. Grape Variety Sangiovese, Primitivo, Nero di Troia
