March Case of the Month

Our March Case of the Month contains:

Undurraga Terroir Hunter Chardonnay (Limari Valley, Chile)

Fresh aromas of camomile flowers, lemon, melon and pear are complemented by touches of toasted hazelnut. Smooth and creamy on the palate, delicate notes of oak spice are exquisitely balanced by coastal freshness through to an elegant finish.

Allegrini Lugana 'Oasi Mantellina' (Lugana, Italy)

Is Lugana an under-the-radar appellation? Not to anyone who's spent any time around the shores of Lake Garda, where these whites are de-rigeur for anyone after a decent white. They combine great acidity with full, complex flavour profiles, and this example is now exception. Pale straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The delicate, understated fragrances proffer floral notes mixed with hints of almond. The palate is graceful, well-defined, taut and flavoursome.

Folc Rosé (Kent & Suffolk, England)

A superb example of modern rosé from the south coast of England.  Very much made in the Provençal style, Folc has a light and bright profile, with gentle red berry fruits and a light citrus lift on the finish. Easy going, easy drinking and dry, it's everything you ever wanted from a rosé this summer!

M.Chapoutier Gigondas 'Les Jocasses' (Thracian Lowlands, Bulgaria)

A powerful nose, alternating between strawberry jam and spicy/peppery notes. Similarly the palate is floral then spicy, the wine has superb tannic structure and lovely long-lingering flavours. Marked by exceptional earliness and scorching mid-summer heat, the 2020 vintage offers us wines full of elegance and pedigree. They have all the markers of great ageing potential thanks to preserved acidity and remarkable phenolic maturity.

Larry Cherubino Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River, Australia)

Showcasing what the Margaret River does so well, this deep, inky purple wine shows intense classic Cabernet aromas of blackcurrant. Ample blackcurrant and bay are layered with hints of cedar and chocolate on the palate. Medium bodied. Velvety tannins and a long smooth finish.

M. Ventenac Coup de Sang (Languedoc, France)

A lovely wine which displays the character of both Cabernets. Sauvignon brings deeply fruited notes, full of blackcurrant and hints of chocolate, whilst the Franc adds a hint of freshness with savoury spice and green bell pepper. Nicely structured, but typically approachable for a Languedoc wine.
