Magnums

Intense red colour with fresh, healthy fruit aromas and a hint of oak. Well rounded on the palate, this aromatic red has ripe concentration, with notes of black cherry, blackberry, liquorice and tobacco. The firm tannins fade into a long, spicy finish. Vinified in stainless steel tanks before a light oaking (twelve months) in French and American barrels.

Good with all sorts of food, this is a superb match for barbecued meats, roast lamb, and kebabs.

An opulent, plush style of Rioja. There's a big, tempting nose of sweet black cherry and cinnamon, with a mid-weight palate of cassis and tobacco leaf, before a long finish with suggestions of cool mint chocolate.

This is the wine that the bodega considers the embodiment of its style and values: a blend of the best of tradition with a contemporary, global outlook.

‘A round and soft red with berry and chocolate character, medium body and a flavorful finish. Delicious and inviting red. Drink now.’
90/100 James Suckling

One of the most popular wines at Bubble Brothers, in a double helping from the seriously delicious 2018 vintage.

The magnum size is ideal when you have a crowd: luxury and a sense of occasion, without overdoing it.

Ripe and juicy with good weight, moderate tannins and attractive notes of sweet blackberry, farmyard and thyme. Impressive length and complexity for a wine at this price.

'This is another wine that won me over on the first sniff: its delicious sweet farmyard scent giving way to a well-weighted medium mouthful.'
Blake Creedon, Irish Examiner, January 2012

This is one of our most popular white wines: it tastes really 'French', it's easy to like and isn't going to offend those who feel they don't care for this or that grape on its own—Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio or what-have-you.

It's made by the Perrin family from a typical Rhône blend of grapes, judiciously selected and balanced to give a crisp, dry, easy-drinking white that goes with food or without and is deliciously reliable from vintage to vintage.

A magnum: what luxury, and what value when cava of this quality still does not attract the premium put on some other traditional-method wines. Fragrant with toasty biscuit and brioche, lifted by citrus and floral notes. Zingy and elegant palate, with a crisp, lemony finish. Delicious as an aperitif, or to complement lighter meals.

Situated in the heart of the Alt Penedès - a privileged subregion protected from the elements by two mountain ranges, 40 hectare Mas Codina is a boutique, family-owned company dating from 1681.

This is a more affordable chance to taste the famous Margaux of Château Kirwan. ‘Les Charmes’ comes from younger vines in the same vineyards as the first wine of the château, and offers a softer texture than its costly sibling, making it ready to drink and enjoy sooner: from now on, in fact.

Expect fresh and tempting aromas of cherry and redcurrant with a hint of oak. There's an agreeable liveliness on the palate that merges into a fuller, rounder sensation of fruit intensity. The creamy richness contributed by aging in oak enhances this satisfying weight well into the spicy, lingering finish.

Supple and ripe with juicy flavours of plum jam, liquorice, Mediterranean herbs and cocoa. Medium-to-full body, with moderate acidity and light tannins. A delicious, unoaked, dining or party wine that makes a perfect match for steaks, burgers and barbecues, but has so much fruit character that it's very easy to enjoy just on its own.

The Costières de Nîmes is the Rhone’s southernmost appellation, and was previously known as the Costières du Gard before a name change in 1989. Until 2004 it was considered part of the Languedoc, but today it is included in the Rhône region, which makes sense considering the predominance of Grenache and Syrah in its red wines and the galet-strewn Châteauneuf-du-Pape-like soils on which they grow.

Robert Parker has said of the estate’s winemaker, "Young Cyril Marès crafts some well-concentrated bargains both red and white and an ambitious, flamboyant, but modestly-priced Cabernet-Syrah blend."

Costières de Nîmes was settled by veterans of Julius Caesar's campaigns in Egypt, and today's bottles of wines from the appellation bear the unlikely symbol of that time's Roman settlement - a crocodile chained to a palm tree.

“Dark red with purple highlights...steeped red fruits and spicy nose. Good volume, generous matter (full of fruits) and silky tannins in the mouth. Excellent aromatic persistence, really succulent, enjoy now!” In Vino Veritas

The trademark vibrant and intense crispness of Chablis is rounded out by delicious depth and the beginnings of more complex, buttery notes in this dry white wine made for dining.

The double-sized magnum bottle makes this a perfect choice for entertaining.

The magnum format is two bottles' worth, so not too big, but it still makes sure there's enough to go round when there are guests.

The La Vieille Ferme range, from the Perrin family who make the celebrated Châteauneuf-du-Papes of Beaucastel, is meant to offer genuine winemaking and an authentic Rhône style at an everyday price, and in our view it succeeds—the whole range is reliable, tasty+ and offers the best of what a wine brand should be.

This is a fruity, medium-bodied red with aromas of red fruits and moreish cherry freshness in the mouth. There's a little tannin for structure, but it's a pleasure wine first and foremost, welcome on any occastion where a dependable, not too big-bodied red is called for.

An appealingly fresh and lighthearted champagne from the three Baron sisters, the Universelle is a great all-rounder. 

With Pinot Meunier predominating in the blend, there's a fruity, lively elegance that the Barons suggest will ‘transport you into our feminine universe’. 

This is certainly excellent value in an invigorating bubbly to suit all occasions.

This is a lovely champagne for any occasion. Generous, slightly spicy, floral aromas lead to a rich, velvet-smooth mouthful that, after just fifteen months' aging, remains appetizingly suggestive of tropical fruits, with just a few hints of secondary flavours. Tiny, densely packed bubbles last as long as even the most leisurely meal.

Bags of character and a very attractive price too.

Fashionable, bone-dry style of Champagne, noted for its cool precision, focus and linearity. Clean core of citrus and green fruits, with tingly acidity, a fine mousse and bracing freshness.
A unique, 'must try' Champagne!

Clouet is made by a father-and-son team whose wine is cellared beneath their pretty, vine-covered, 17th century house in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, in the Montagne de Reims. Jean-François Clouet, winemaker, is known for his fanatical devotion to quality. Young and full of ideas, he aspires to Bollinger in style and quality.
Thanks to an ancestral land grant from Napoleon, Jean-Francois has the privilege of working with some of the best-situated vines in the Bouzy sub-region.

Rated ‘#1 Champagne under $50’ by the Wall Street Journal.
Lifted aromas of stone fruit, wheat kernel and strawberry, with a silky, mid-weight palate and a subtle, refined mousse. Crisp, elegant finish. A Blanc de Noirs made solely from Pinot Noir grapes.

This is a full-flavoured and very food-friendly champagne that works wonders with creamy pastas, poultry and richer seafoods.

‘Offers up layers of mineral-infused red fruits on a silky, mid-weight frame, with gorgeous length and a refined, subtle mousse. This impeccable, elegant wine shows terrific overall balance as well as complexity. I loved it!’
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 90 points

A magnum bottle of a tasty and authentic Bordeaux, perfect for a dinner party and certified vegan-friendly.

From the forward-looking Château Dauzac in Margaux, this is a rich red with gently spicy aromas of ripe red fruit, made from a roughly equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot picked at full maturity to give a supple, satisfying wine.

The winemaking experience of the Château means that there is attention to detail throughout, with carefully shaped tannins and a moreish, balanced finish.

Where fining is needed, it is done using pea proteins, meaning that this is an entirely vegan wine.

The magnum format of one of our most popular white wines. The Verdejos of Rueda are sometimes dubbed the Sauvignons of Spain, but their individual aromatic character and balance of freshness and weight in the mouth make them distinctively appealing.

The Guía Peñín 2018, the top reference for Spanish wines, accorded the 2016 Verdejo 91/100 (Excellent).

The prestigious French publication Gilbert & Gaillard awarded the 2016 vintage 92/100, describing this (high praise indeed from the French) as “a gourmet wine”.
