Giant Old Vine Red 2020
Giant Old Vine Red is a rich, full-bodied Zinfandel from California , crafted from old vine fruit that delivers the concentrated dark fruit, spice, and depth that makes the variety so compelling. Ripe, generous, and unapologetically bold, it is a red wine built for those who love their reds rich, heady, and full of character. Why You'll Love It Old vine Zinfandel is one of California's great wine treasures. Older vines produce lower yields and more concentrated fruit, and in the warm, sun-drenched conditions of California, that translates into wines of extraordinary richness and depth. Giant Old Vine Red delivers all of that in a generous, crowd-pleasing package, with dark fruit, coffee, and dried fruit notes that make it an instant favourite for fans of Malbec , Primitivo , or any rich, full-bodied red. If you like your reds on the slightly sweeter, riper side of the spectrum, this is the bottle for you. Vineyard & Production Sourced from old vine Zinfandel vineyards in California, where the warm climate and the age of the vines combine to produce fruit of exceptional concentration and complexity. Old vines naturally restrict yields, pushing flavour intensity into each berry and producing wines with a depth and richness that younger vines simply cannot match. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour. The nose is rich and expressive with dark fruit, blackberry jam, dried red plum, and fig, layered with notes of cinnamon, coconut, and espresso coffee. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous with ripe dark fruit, cassis, and a touch of sweetness, finishing long and warming. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for barbecued meats, slow-cooked ribs, burgers, and hearty stews. Also excellent alongside aged cheddar, charcuterie, or a classic American-style BBQ spread. Equally enjoyable on its own as a warming evening wine. The Blend 100% Zinfandel
Pasquiers Grenache Noir Vin de Pays D'Oc 2024
Pasquiers Grenache Noir is a ripe, supple southern French red from the Languedoc , crafted by Boutinot France from a 40-year-old parcel of cordon-trained vines in the south-western Languedoc. Brimming with dark fruit, spice, and easy-drinking charm, this is Grenache at its most generous. Why You'll Love It Boutinot France has grown from a small importer into one of the country's leading producers, working hand-in-hand with growers across the Languedoc. Their philosophy is to champion traditional varieties and terroirs while crafting wines that are approachable, characterful, and true to their origins. This Grenache Noir is a perfect expression of that commitment, unoaked and unhurried, letting the variety speak for itself. Vineyard and Production The vines are unusually cordon-trained in a region dominated by bush vines, their roots digging deep into sandy, silty soils and producing concentrated fruit fully ripened under the Mediterranean sun. After careful destemming, the grapes are macerated at cool temperatures and vinified without oak to preserve Grenache's vibrant fruit purity. Tasting Notes Expressive aromas of ripe black fruit and sweet spice lead to a palate loaded with juicy berry flavours, liquorice, and soft texture. Rich yet rounded, with no hard edges, this is Grenache at its most generous. Perfect Pairings Perfect alongside Mediterranean fare, think olives, crusty bread, roasted vegetables, herb-infused meats, and aged cheeses. Grape Varieties Grenache
