Errazuriz La Cumbre Syrah 2019
Erráuriz La Cumbre is a premium Syrah crafted from hand-selected grapes sourced from the finest lots of the MAX I and MAX V vineyards in Chile's renowned Aconcagua Valley. Located just 60 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, this wine benefits from the valley's Mediterranean climate with a long, dry growing season and cooling afternoon breezes that create ideal conditions for producing exceptional, concentrated fruit. Why You'll Love It This is premium Chilean Syrah with real character—rich, complex, and beautifully balanced with layers of dark fruit, floral notes, and warm spice. The addition of 4% Viognier adds aromatic lift and elegance, a classic technique borrowed from the northern Rhône. Sourced from Erráuriz's most prestigious vineyard blocks, this full-bodied wine delivers exceptional depth, impressive length, and a persistent, mouth-filling finish that showcases the quality of Aconcagua Valley terroir. Vineyard & Production Sourced from hand-selected lots from the MAX I and MAX V vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley, just 60 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean.

Tasting Notes Deep, intense purple with elegant ruby highlights. Rich and complex aromatics offering floral notes of lavender and pink pepper alongside vibrant blueberries, maqui, and blackberries. Warm spice accents of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg are complemented by nutty nuances reminiscent of marzipan.

Juan Gil Jumilla Blue Label 2023
Bodegas Juan Gil Blue Label is a powerful, opulent red from Jumilla — one of Spain's most exciting wine regions and the spiritual home of Monastrell. Sourced from old bush vines planted at around 700 metres on the stony slopes of the Peñarrubia mountain, aged 18 months in French and American oak, this is a wine of real concentration, depth, and surprising elegance for its 15% ABV. Why You'll Love It The Gil family have been producing in Jumilla since the early 20th century, but it was Miguel Gil — great-grandson of the founder — who transformed the estate with a new bodega in time for the 2003 vintage. Today, Bodegas Juan Gil farms over 750 hectares, predominantly old, unirrigated bush vines from indigenous Monastrell clones with yields so low the concentration in the glass is extraordinary. If you want to understand why Monastrell is having its moment, this is the bottle to open. Vineyard & Production Made from low-yielding, old-vine Monastrell blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, all planted at around 700 metres altitude on poor, stony soils. Fermented in small 5-tonne tanks before malolactic fermentation in French and American oak barrels. The separate parcels are aged for 18 months before the final blend is assembled. Tasting Notes Opulent aromas of ripe black fruits, spice, and balsamic notes on the nose. The palate is rich and full — mocha, cherry, plum, and chocolate characters supported by rounded tannins and fresh acidity. Despite its 15% ABV, the wine remains elegant, fresh, and remarkably well-balanced. Perfect Pairings Built for bold, flavourful food. Excellent with rich pasta ragù, roast meats, game, slow-braised short rib, and aged hard cheeses. Also a natural match for dark chocolate desserts. The Blend Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah
