An extravagant bouquet of sweet spices and pepper, followed by a full-throttle, firm-tannined wash of ripe blackberry, menthol and minerals. A very serious wine! So treat like a Bordeaux, and aerate well, before enjoying alongside roast beef, mature cheeses or chargrilled vegetables.

Cabardès is a relatively small red-and-rosé appellation in the hills north of Carcassonne. Its catchment area is on the climatic border between balmy Languedoc-Roussillon and the more inclement South-West, in the foothills of the Montagne Noir. This double identity is manifested in the grape varieties which make up the appellation's wines: Grenache and Syrah from the SE; Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, and Merlot, from the SW/Bordeaux. The result is some genuinely unique wines, the majority of which are red.

‘At this price it's a steal!’

A smooth, richly spiced, black red from deep in southern France, Cabalié needs no ceremony. Just large glasses for serving! A Grenache-charged, old-vine red, brimful of spicy berry fruit.

Take a minute to read the (literally thousands of) 5-star online reviews for Cabalié. This one is typical: “When my time comes to shuffe off this mortal coil, this is the wine I want in that final glass. It is simply, utterly, indescribably fantastic.” Its secret? It’s crafted by a master winemaker, Hervé Sabardeil, following the centuries-old style beloved of Roman centurions, who first made wine there. Raspberry-rich Grenache, with herby Syrah and Carignan, Cabalié has impressive concentration. That’s due to the maturity of the vines, most well over 50 years old. The tiny berries they produce give Cabalié extraordinarily rich, ripe flavours. Boasting 8 Golds in as many vintages, this much-loved red is warming solo or with hearty dishes.

This is a deliciously fresh and appetizing rosé, made from Nero d'Avola grapes picked a week or so before the harvest for Purato's red wine. The early picking means just a tinge more acidity, to keep the fruit flavours in the wine bright and focused.

The Purato brand has delivered great wines for more than ten years, at the same time as meeting rigorous environmental standards. The wines are organic, with the IT- BIO certification on every bottle, while the packaging, from bottles to shipping cartons, is as recycled and recyclable as possible. That's why the winery describe these as wines ‘with a conscience’.

Bright, energetic red fruit aromas and flavours make this an easy choice for all kinds of occasions with food or without.

It's a fruity, rounded young wine with great ruby colour in the glass, arresting raspberry and cranberry aromas from the off and delicious, crunchy fruit flavours.

A real taste of Spain and of Rioja at an irresistible price.

A crisp and delicious white wine from the Rioja region with apples and some tropical fruit at first sniff. There are herbal and floral aromas too, and satisfying body matches the bright, juicy flavours.

From a winery begun in 2004 by a winegrowing family as 'a dream made real', this is sure-to-please, genuine Rioja—and leaves you with plenty of pieces of eight (Real de a 8) in the treasure chest!
