Grenache Noir 60%, Mourvèdre 30%, Syrah 10%, 2021.
Micro-Cosme Grenache-Pinot Noir. Rhone, France. 14%.
I love this ‘rule-bending’ Rhone red – a fusion of 60% Grenache grapes from several vintages & 40% Pinot Noir grapes which deliver beguiling notes of strawberry compote, gingerbread, souk spices & heirloom rose in a blend that is vibrant & complex, supple & deliciously smooth red wine. The wine is classed as a ‘Vin de France’ rather than ‘Cotes du Rhone’ due to being produced with the non-permitted Pinot Noir grape variety in the region & also using multiple vintages of Grenache.
This wine is another ‘brain-storm’ from innovative wine maker; Louis Barruol – maker of the wonderful & much sought after wines of Chateau St.-Cosme Gigondas in the Southern Rhône.
2019 Carpineto, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG, Tuscany, Italy. 13.5%. £45
This exceptional red wine derives its name from the Renaissance town of Montepulciano. The term “Nobile” designating a vineyard area deemed special enough that in the past the wines produced there were reserved exclusively for the aristocratic, noble families of the town.

Aged in American oak , this full-flavoured red displays attractive floral aromas, ripe fruit and balsamic notes in the background. Balanced freshness on the palate lifts the vibrant fruit through to a smooth and persistent finish.
2024 Kuzubağ, Denizli, Turkey. 14%. £35.
The region of Çal is situated in the inner Aegean part of Turkey on a plateau 850-1100 metres above sea level. This high elevation is a key feature of Kuzubağ, as the cooler nights and warm days at this altitude help the grapes ripen slowly, leading to good flavor and natural acidity in the wines. Pale red in colour, on the nose, fresh cherry, raspberry, red forest fruits and with white spices, this medium bodied wine has a very lively aromatic structure. Fresh in its youth with fruity aromas while slowly developing light velvety tannins and spice notes.
2021 Groot Constantia, ‘Lady of Abundance’ Constantia, South Africa. 14%. £32.
From the oldest winery in South Africa; This medium bodied, supple red has flavours of blackcurrant, plums, cherries and pomegranate, with hints of chocolate and spice on the nose.

Away from the bright lights of Pauillac, Margaux & Saint-Julien; Château Cantemerle quietly goes about it’s business nestled away in woodland at the southern-most end of the Médoc region.
Just two red wines are made. And whilst the Chateau’s first red wine is built for long-term cellaring, it’s second wine; Les Allées de Cantemerle offers full enjoyment at a relatively earlier age.
