This year VSF celebrates 25 years selling fine wine to the yachting world

and successfully growing the business year on year.

From a stockholding of 35,000 bottles, the lion’s share purchased from the

finest producers around the world, VSF boasts perfect provenance, quick

delivery and customer fidelity.

When our founder started selling Aussie chardonnay to crew in 1993,

it would have been hard to foresee how the company would grow as a

leading supplier to the industry.

This anniversary is the perfect opportunity for us to thank ALL of our

customers for your trust and loyalty.

We are looking forward to the next 25 years!

CHAMPAGNE

CHAMPAGNEBILLECART-SALMONStill family run, the small house of Billecart-Salmon offers a range of black-grape dominated Champagnes with bright, complex fruit flavours resulting from a long, slow, cool fermentation process. Particularly well known for its elegant Rosé, Billecart-Salmon is a Champagne house for wine lovers: many who discover it drink few other Champagnes thereafter.

BOLLINGERBollinger has been making classic, Pinot-dominated Champagnes with great ageing potential and complexity since 1829. The house style is deliberately oxidative with much of the wine (all of the vintage and reserve wines, and a high proportion of Special Cuvée) being fermented in old oak barrels, resulting in rich toast, apple and spice flavours. A proportion of the reserve wines are aged in magnums under cork keeping the aromas and flavours fresh and helping to make Special Cuvée one of the most complex Non-Vintage Champagnes around.

One of the most northern wine producing regions in the world, Champagne is located 90 miles north-east of Paris with 34,000 hectares of vines. Surrounding the Champagne hubs of Epernay and Reims, the

region produces around a million bottles of Champagne a day.

A technique said to have been invented by Dom Pérignon in 1688, Champagne is made using the traditional

method whereby a second fermentation is induced in the bottle, producing CO2 which becomes trapped,

resulting in a sparkling wine. Champagne style wines are now replicated all over the world.

These premium wines are usually made from a blend of grapes: Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance; the red

grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, for body and backbone.

“A lovely rosé in an almost vinous style, with mouthwatering acidity and

a fine, lacy mousse carrying appealing flavors of ripe raspberry, white cherry

fruit, star anise, mandarin orange peel and honeysuckle. Lightly chalky on the

lasting finish.”


“There’s a subtle power to this graceful Champagne, which boasts a firm, crystalline frame of acidity married to the fine, satinlike

mousse and notes of white raspberry, brioche and Earl Grey tea. Seamless through to the long

finish of smoke and spice accents, this opens beautifully in the glass.”

“A finely knit version that glides across the palate, this elegant blanc de blancs

offers vibrant acidity layered with ripe Dijon pear, toast, pastry cream and

candied lemon zest.”

“Beautifully aromatic, this leads with aromas of ground clove, coffee liqueur

and mandarin orange peel, adding crystallized honey, dried cherry, acacia blossom and toasted brioche notes on the expansive palate. Rich in flavor and

broad in structure, with verve driving this through to the long, satiny finish.”

CHAMPAGNE

“An elegant Champagne, with good intensity. Hints of pastry cream and

brioche accent the glazed apricot, candied ginger and lemon pâte de fruit flavors

on the palate. Firm acidity creates a mouthwatering impression on racy, spice-

and smoke-laced finish.”

“This is lacy in texture, featuring a firm frame of acidity and a smoke-tinged

underpinning. Offers flavors of poached quince, toast and pickled ginger, with a

crisp, citrusy finish.”

“Rich, creamy and radiant, the 2009 Cristal captures all of the natural

generosity of the vintage while also retaining a good bit of freshness and

aromatic intensity. Immediate and totally sensual in its allure, the 2009

will drink well with minimal cellaring.”

DOM PERIGNONDom Pérignon, owned by Moët & Chandon, is an exclusively vintage prestige cuvée Champagne. It is made from roughly equal quantities (varying slightly according to the vintage) of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown only in the best vineyard sites in Champagne. During production, the wine sees no oak and is protected from oxidation as much as possible making it one of Champagne’s most reductive, minerally styles with an overarching elegance, harmony and completeness. It is one of the most classic, famous, and eye-catching of all wines and consistently tastes as good as its reputation suggests it will.

CHARLES HEIDSIECKCharles Heidsieck founded his eponymous Champagne house in 1851 at the age of 29. He is credited with popularising Champagne in the United States where he became hugely popular and earned the nickname ‘Champagne Charlie’. The consistent high quality of the wines means their range is one of the most frequently awarded in Champagne.

HENRIOTFounded in 1808, Henriot is one of the few remaining independent Champagne houses having been owned and managed by the same family for more than eight generations. The Chardonnay-dominant wines are fresh and elegant with a rich, toasty character from extended ageing on the lees (twice the legal requirement) and are exceptional value for money.

KRUGKrug is the only Champagne house to have created a prestige cuvée every year since it was founded in 1843. The house’s flagship wine, Grande Cuvée, typically contains 35-50% reserve wines chosen from an extensive library of 150 different wines across more than 10 vintages. With fermentation in neutral oak barrels and ageing on the lees well beyond the legal minimum, the wines have incredible depth, richness and complexity and a unique personality all of their own.

LAURENT-PERRIERChardonnay forms the core of most of Laurent-Perrier’s cuvées giving the wines a fresh, elegant style. The exception to this is their Cuvée Rosé, for which the house is best known. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it is unusual in that it is made by the tricky ‘saignée’ method. This is the technique by which the pink colour is obtained through maceration of the skins rather than the addition of red wine (the way most rosé Champagnes are made) and gives Laurent-Perrier Rosé its remarkable flavour.

MOET & CHANDONCreating a true slice of Champagne, Moët & Chandon brings the characteristics of all three varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, into their blends. The wines are vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel and undergo malolactic fermentation, giving them a soft, light, approachable style with a universal appeal that has made Moët & Chandon the world’s most popular Champagne.

PERRIER-JOUETPerrier-Jouët is a prestigious Epernay-based producer, famous for its cuvée Belle Epoque, instantly recognisable by its distinctive anemone-adorned bottle. Chardonnay from the Grand Cru vineyards of Cramant and Avize have the biggest influence on the house style which is one of lightness, elegance and finesse, featuring floral aromas and a delicate creaminess.

LOUIS ROEDERERMost famous for their prestige cuvée Cristal which was first created in 1876 for the Tsar of Russia, Alexander II, the house of Louis Roederer is known for the sheer quality and style of their wines across the range. Roederer is the largest owner of organically-farmed (and increasingly, biodynamically-farmed) vineyards in Champagne. The wines are distinguished by their superb balance, finesse and elegance and their fine, creamy mousse.

“The 2006 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut is simply fabulous. In most

vintages, Dom Ruinart is a big, ample Champagne that shows the structure

of the Montagne de Reims Chardonnay in the blend. The 2006 has plenty of

textural resonance and richness, and yet I am also struck by its tension.”

“The 2006 has been nothing short of magnificent both times I have tasted

it. Comtes de Champagne remains the single best value (in relative terms) in

tête de cuvée Champagne.”

“A waft of spring blossom draws you into this elegant Champagne, whose subtle

notes of poached quince, toasted brioche and mandarin orange gracefully ride the

satiny mousse, supported by a vibrant backbone of acidity.”

quintessentially English flavours of redcurrant, raspberry and cherry that lead to an elegant,

“Fresh and balanced, this bright savory sparkler delivers mouthfuls of green apple, white peach and lemon peel. Crisp acidity

keeps it refreshing while a soft mousse gives it plenty of finesse. It has a dry juicy finish.”

RUINARTRuinart is Champagne’s oldest house, with a history dating back to 1729. The Chardonnay grape is at the heart of all Ruinart’s wines giving them freshness and bright fruit aromas. The wines, vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel, have a minerally character in youth, developing toasty, smoky characteristics with bottle age.

Sparkling wine is arguably the most technical style of wine in the world. Not only do these wines have to undergo a first fermentation in order to make alcohol, but also a second

fermentation to produce the carbon dioxide giving the wine its fizz. This is done either in the same way as Champagne, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, or by using

the tank method where it takes place inside a sealed tank.

Produced all around the world, sparkling wine comes in a huge range of styles, from bone dry to

perfumed and floral.


ROSE

“Bright dark pink. Lovely, with very delicate aromas and flavors of spicy red

berries, quinine, cinnamon and violet. Fresh, juicy and smooth, with a lively long

finish and a very clean, slightly tannic mouthfeel. This is a brand new wine from

Antinori, that is made with Aleatico, the lovely aromatic red grape that is very

much at home on the Tuscan coast.”

“Pale orange. Fresh strawberry and tangerine on the lively, spice-accented

nose and in the mouth. Juicy and seamless in texture, showing very good

clarity and a suave floral nuance on the back half. Closes long, sappy and

extremely floral, leaving an exotic melon note behind.”

Rosé is produced in a variety of styles around the world, although perhaps the best known are those from Provence. Not only is this France’s oldest wine region, having been making wine for over 2,600 years, but it is also the only one to focus on rosé.

It even has a research institute dedicated to the style. Dry, crisp and refreshing, these

wines are a blend of regional varieties such as Grenache, Carignan and Syrah.

France produces 7-8 billion bottles of wine every year, second only to Italy in terms of volume. A key part of French culture, with 27 billion hectolitres being drunk in

France annually, wine is produced throughout the country in every style.

France’s long-standing wine heritage gave birth to the appellation system, designed to

preserve regional wine styles, which has been emulated all over Europe.

France is also the source of many international grape varieties such as Cabernet

Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

FRANCE WHITE ALSACE

Located between the centre and north of France, the Loire valley stretches 600 miles east to west and accounts for 8% of the country’s vineyards including the famous appellations of Sancerre, Pouilly-

Fumé, Muscadet and Vouvray. Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are situated at the far eastern end of the Loire valley and arguably produce the world’s greatest expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. Sancerre also

produces high quality reds and rosés from Pinot Noir.

The Loire is considered to be France’s most diverse wine region given the different climates and soil types

such a large region offers, and as such, produces wines in every style.

“Lovely talc, sweet pea, mâche and chive notes stream through, backed by a

bracing, flint-edged finish. This is steely and pure, textbook Sancerre that can

handle a little cellaring.”

“From the nine-hectare original vineyard of the Huet family, the 2016 Vouvray

Le Haut-Lieu Sec shows a citrus color followed by an intense, fresh and chalky-mineral bouquet with lemon and some

blossom aromas. This is a medium-bodied, round, elegant, remarkably

lush and delicate Chenin Blanc from calcareous clay soils.”

“Broad and creamy flavors of Jonagold apple, orchard blossom, peach skin and ground ginger are

set in a lithe and elegant frame, enlivened by a laser beam of

acidity and an underpinning of spicy mineral.”

Protected by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace is one of the driest regions in France and due to its northern latitude has very long hours of sunshine during the growing season. This helps to ripen the grapes and produce some of the world’s finest white wines.

The wines from Alsace are produced from noble varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and

Gewurztraminer and unlike elsewhere in France, here, the name of the grape must appear on the

label. The best vineyard sites have been given Grand Cru status.

Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is the source of the most majestic Grand Cru and Premier Cru wines in the world. The polar opposite of Bordeaux with its grand Châteaux, this is a complex region of smallholders with over 3,000 vineyard owners. 15 million cases are produced annually from 100 different appellations spanning 26,000 hectares.

With reds made from Pinot Noir and whites from Chardonnay, these wines are not

only long lived, but are also some of the most exceptional on the market

.

The region is split into 5 sub-regions:

Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais.

The most significant of these for the production of white wines are

Chablis, the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais.

“A mineral-driven bouquet – linear and taut, with slate and granite aromas

gradually unfurling in the glass. The palate is clean and fresh with supremely

well-judged acidity. Touches of apricot and mango lie in the background with the

citrus element playing the main role.”

“Magnificently focused, brimming with mineral intensity and worldly complexity.

Cleverly built, with medium-toasty oak notes, a tightly wound lemon and pink grapefruit juiciness and cigar-box

aromas. Long finish.”

“A classy white, creamy in texture and racy, featuring lemon, apple, hazelnut, nut oil and mineral aromas and flavors. Intense

and airy at once, building to a long aftertaste of citrus and mineral. The oak

lends the right amount of support and never gets in the way.”

COTE DE NUITSThe Côte de Nuits is a 20km stretch forming the northern part of the Côte d’Or, Burgundy’s

‘golden slope’, and it is here that most of the world’s finest examples of Pinot Noir

are produced. Named after the region’s largest village, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 22 out of

Burgundy’s 23 red Grands Crus are located here, expressing a variety of styles. They tend

to be weightier and deeper coloured than the Pinots produced on the Côte de Beaune.

Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot and Nuits-Saints-Georges are known for their robust style of

wine, whilst Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée display finesse and elegance.

COTE DE BEAUNEDespite the Côte de Beaune being well-known for its white wines, there is actually more red

wine produced in the region. The Pinot Noirs from this southern half of the Côte d’Or show

softness and finesse with the best examples coming from Beaune, Pommard and Volnay as

well as the exceptionally powerful Grand Cru of Corton.


“Cherry, currant and spice flavors are the hallmarks of this dense red.

A mineral note adds interest as this builds to a long, sinewy finish.

Echoes fruit and spice details on the long aftertaste.”

“Rousseau’s 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques is flat-out gorgeous. Waves

of blue/purplish fruit hit the palate in an intense, explosive Burgundy loaded with

pure class and pedigree.”

“Liqueur-like ripeness of red berries, dried cherry, musky underbrush and minerals,

with treble notes of dried flowers and blood orange contributing sexy lift. Large-

scaled but remarkably light on its feet. This baby is alive!”

“Rich and mouthfilling, with a velvety texture carrying the cherry, raspberry,

mineral and spice flavors eloquently. The refined tannins firm this up, leading to a

wine region in the world and includes the

renowned appellations of St Estèphe, Pauillac,

St Julien and Margaux. Situated on the left

bank of the Gironde estuary, the best vineyard

sites are located on gravelly outcrops close

to the river. The left bank is well suited to the

production of Cabernet Sauvignon and the

wines produced here will generally have this

as the dominant grape in the blend.

ST ESTEPHEThis is the most northerly of the important

communes of the Médoc. The wines here take

on a rustic style due to the high proportion

of clay in the soil. As a result they can seem

austere in their youth, however they display

good acidity and colour and are exceptionally

long-lived.

PAUILLACConsidering that Pauillac is a small region

of only 23km², three of the five First Growth

Châteaux are located here – Château

Latour, Château Lafite and Château Mouton

Rothschild – with Grands Crus Classés

representing 84% of the rest of the production.

Fine, deep and gravelly soils mean that

the vine roots reach a greater depth here

than anywhere else in the Médoc. The

resulting wines are intense and display great

complexity.

ST JULIENSt Julien is the smallest of the well-known

Médoc communes at only 700ha with a

uniform style thanks to the gravelly soils.

Despite having no First Growth properties,

St Julien is considered to offer the most

consistent wines across the board, with

impressive offerings year after year.

MARGAUXThe largest commune in the Médoc, and

home to First Growth Château Margaux,

Margaux is famous for producing the most

elegant and alluring wines of the Left Bank.

With the lightest and most gravelly soils in

the Médoc, the finest examples of Margaux are

intensely perfumed whilst also subtle

and refined.

PESSAC-LEOGNAN/GRAVESPessac-Léognan is a district within Graves

that was created in 1986 due to pressure from

the vignerons who wanted to disassociate

themselves from growers further south in the

commune where the soils are much sandier.

Pessac-Léognan is home to Châteaux Haut

Brion, the only First Growth property outside

of the Médoc.

RIGHT BANK

POMEROLPomerol is the smallest of the prestigious Bordeaux appellations with

around only 150 producers and 740 hectares of vineyards. Demand and

prices for these wines are high given that many of these are boutique

growers making circa 1,000 cases a year. Pomerol is dominated by

Merlot, producing rich and smooth wines, and features some iconic

properties such as Château Pétrus.

ST EMILIONLocated on the right bank of the Dordogne, St Emilion is one of the

most important Bordeaux appellations in terms of both quality and

quantities produced. Merlot is the predominant grape variety and is

perfectly suited to the clay and chalk-rich soils here. Cabernet Franc

and Cabernet Sauvignon are also grown. Given the high proportion of

Merlot, these wines are much more approachable in youth than the

more tannic examples produced on the left bank.

88% of the production of Bordeaux is red wine, or Claret as it is known in the UK, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Bordeaux is also the source of dry whites made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and

some of the world’s longest-lived sweet wines from Sauternes.

The wines of the Bordeaux left bank were classified in 1855 and only five have atttained First Growth status - Château Lafite,

Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Haut Brion. Those Châteaux that made it into any

of the five tiers of this classification will have Grand Cru Classé on the label.

“Rock solid, displaying a dense core of plum, steeped currant and braised fig fruit, with racy charcoal and ganache notes. Intensely chalky, offering flesh and refinement to match the bracing minerality, this shows hints of grilled

“Administrator Frederic Engerer says the 2003 is “the sexiest Latour ever made.”

Dense, thick and unctuously textured, this staggering Latour is undeniably the most

sumptuous, opulent wine made here since the 1982 or 1961.”

“Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully

over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable

purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-

time great examples of Lynch Bages.”

CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILDLafite consistently produces one of the wines of the vintage year in, year out.

CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILDChâteau Mouton Rothschild is the only Château to achieve reclassification since 1855 when the wines from Bordeaux were sorted into five tiers according to the prices they were fetching on the market at the time. This unique recategorisation took place in 1973 when Mouton Rothschild entered into the realm of the top five Châteaux (Premiers Grands Crus Classés). The bottles from this vineyard are famous not only for the powerful yet deceptively smooth wine inside, but also for the colourful labels brought out each year which are designed by a different artist for each vintage.

“The nose offers outstanding delineation and mineralité. It positively fizzes in the

glass with all that coiled-up energy, ladling out vivid blackberry and cedar aromas.

The palate is medium-bodied, but it is the detail and precision that achieves a level that makes the 2010 a benchmark for the

Pauillac estate.”

“Dense purple, with classic notes of cedar and lead pencil shavings as well

as gobs of black currants and licorice, the wine has a full-bodied mouthfeel

with fabulous precision and density. It also possesses a long, silky finish with

moderately high tannins, but they are ripe and well-integrated.”

“The nose shows loads of plum, spice and meat aromas, as well as hints of licorice. It’s

full-bodied, with firm, yet velvety textured tannins. It’s big and rounded. If you can’t afford Las Cases, try some of this. Some

might call this a second wine, but it comes from a plot of vineyards not deemed

worthy of Léoville Las Cases. So it’s like its own estate.”

“This has mature hints, but there’s great focus as the cedar, bay and leather notes

race along with, rather than pull away from, the core of fig and blackberry fruit flavors. The long, bittersweet cocoa-dusted finish

provides a solid bass line.”

“A superstar of the vintage, the wine has notes of pen ink and creme de cassis,

good acidity, sweet, subtle oak, and massive extraction and concentration.

The beautiful purity, symmetry, and huge finish of nearly a minute make

this one of the all-time great classics from Leoville Barton.”

ST JULIENCHATEAU BEYCHEVELLEAccording to legend, the name Beychevelle came from the Gascon ‘bêcha vêla’, meaning ‘lower the sails’. This was a reference to the fact that ships passing by the château lowered their sails in deference and allegiance to Admiral Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette, the property’s first owner under Henri III. To this day, Beychevelle has the prettiest and most dramatic impact on the riverbank of the Gironde estuary.

CHATEAU DUCRU BEAUCAILLOUThe name of this estate comes from the former owner, Mr. Ducru, and a description of the land it comprises: ‘beau caillou’ literally means ‘beautiful pebble’.

PETRUSProbably the greatest and certainly the most famous red wine in all of Bordeaux, and perhaps the world. Because of their extraordinarily rigorous selection (sometimes they only use 50% of the crop), Pétrus consistently make the best possible wine every vintage. This impacts on the quantity produced each year (between 1000 and 3000 cases only) but maintains the wine’s legendary reputation.

CHATEAU ANGELUSChâteau Angélus was officially recognized as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1996. It has consistently delivered superb wines ever since. Powerful and massive, it has concentrated blackcurrant, redcurrant and leather on the palate given structure by firm tannins which soften with time. As with almost all St Emilion wines, this is made principally from Merlot.

CHATEAU BEAU-SEJOUR BECOTBeau-Séjour Bécot is in the upper echelon of Bordeaux right bank producers but, unusually, the property lost but then regained its Premier Grand Cru status as a result of vineyard acquisition. It was relegated to Grand Cru Classé after the incorporation of some non Premier Grand Cru vineyards, but having proven that they could produce not just typical, but great St Emilion wine, in 1996 it was reinstated as a Premier Grand Cru and deservedly so.

CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANCWhat really sets Cheval Blanc apart is its unusual mixture of grape varieties planted as a result of its position on the gravel outcrop that dominates St Emilion. The main grape is Cabernet Franc, augmented by the more expected Merlot and only a minuscule amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. The origin of the White Horse name is lost in time.

CHATEAU FIGEACSituated, like Cheval Blanc, on the gravel soils of the west of the region, Figeac uses around 70% Cabernet in its wine, making it the most Médoc-like of the right bank properties. A typographically exquisite label and classic winemaking also mark out this fine estate.

CHATEAU LA GAFFELIEREStill in the hands of the Malet Roquefort family after more than three centuries, Château La Gaffelière is one of the oldest family-owned properties in St Emilion. A leper colony existed in the area during the medieval period, hence the name Gaffelière, deriving from the old French word ‘gaffet’ meaning ‘leper’. Today the vineyards comprise 22 hectares with an enviable position between those of Château Ausone and Château Pavie.

It came as no surprise in 1996 when the wines were elevated to 1er Grand Cru Classé status where they have remained ever since.

The northern Rhône contains some of the oldest vineyards in France producing elegant wines made from Syrah

which are both powerful and have the capacity to age. Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie are the stars of the north,

needing at least a decade to show at their best. St Joseph and Cornas produce more accessible examples

whilst Crozes-Hermitage offers great value for money.

The valley floor opens out in the southern Rhône, with vines planted low to the ground in goblet

formation to protect them from the strong mistral winds. The soils here are made up of round stones

from the ancient river bed and these retain the warmth of the day, helping to fully ripen the grapes of

the heat-loving Grenache. The best wine villages of the Côtes du Rhône have been given their own

appellation such as Gigondas and the well-known Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The cool climate produces wines with incredible precision and focused fruit flavours balanced by finely tuned acidity.

Austrian wine recently came into its own following a wine scandal in 1985 which led to a complete

ITALY

Each region has its own style with the most

significant in terms of both quantity and quality

being Piedmont, Tuscany and Veneto.

Italy’s best-known grapes are Sangiovese,

Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, Barbera and

Montepulciano alongside international varieties,

in particular Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

PIEDMONTLocated in the north west of Italy, Piedmont has a continental

climate influenced by its proximity to both the Alps and the

Ligurian Apennines. Since Roman times, Piedmont has been

considered the fine wine capital of Italy and has the country’s

highest proportion of DOC and DOCG wines even though it only

accounts for 7% of its production.

Gavi DOCG is Piedmont’s best-known dry white wine made from

the Cortese grape grown around the town of Gavi itself. Whites

are also made from the indigenous Roero near the town of Arneis.

Nebbiolo is the king of red wine grapes in Piedmont and is

planted on all of the best sites. Nebbiolo, the variety behind

Barbaresco and Barolo, produces wines with pronounced aromas

of tar, roses and truffles which age fantastically often needing at

least ten years before they really come into their own.

Barbera and Dolcetto are grown around the towns of Asti and

Alba producing easier drinking styles that are more accessible

from a younger age.

BARBARESCOA third of the size of neighbouring Barolo,

and 50 years younger, Barbaresco

is renowned for producing some

of Italy’s finest wines. Thanks

largely to the efforts of Angelo

Gaja, the region has been

recognised for its real potential

and it was granted DOCG status

is 1980.

BAROLOBarolo DOC was founded in 1966 and upgraded

to DOCG status in 1980, which seems

appropriate given that this is not only Italy’s

most famous wine region, but is

also widely regarded to be its best.

Reds are made from 100% Nebbiolo

which capitalises on the long, warm

summers and the unique terroir, with

each village sitting upon its own hill

surrounded by vineyards.

TUSCANYItaly’s oldest wine region, Tuscany is also its 5th largest,

producing the third highest amount of DOC/DOCG quality

wines despite only producing around 6% of the country’s

volume of wine. This is largely due to the region’s poor soils

which encourage producers to grow small yields of high

quality grapes.

Tuscany has a unique terrain with more than two thirds of

it being hilly which benefits the predominant grape variety,

Sangiovese, as it needs direct sunlight to ripen fully. Two of

Italy’s most famous wines are found in Tuscany – Chianti and

Brunello di Montalcino.

SUPER TUSCANThe term ‘Super Tuscan’ first emerged in the 1970s to describe

a new wave of wine being made outside of DOC/DOCG

regulations to a very high quality, and commanding high

prices to match. Many of these wines achieved a cult

following and as a result, the Italian classification

system was changed to give these DOC or

DOCG status. Some producers still prefer to

use IGP Toscana.

Home to more than 2000 grape varieties and some of the oldest wine regions in

the world, Italy produces more wine than any other country with the 2016

harvest reaching 48.8 million hectolitres. Italy has over 1 million vineyards

under cultivation, producing wines from almost every region, renowned

worldwide for their broad variety.


“Crisp and luminous, the 2016 Langhe Rossj-Bass is Chardonnay enhanced

with a tiny part Sauvignon Blanc. This second grape only constitutes 5% of the blend, yet its presence is felt in a

big way. The wine presents pristine and sharply delineated tones of exotic

fruit, peach and white rose.”

“This is a clean and pristine white wine that offers pretty aromatic

intensity with citrus blossom, white peach and honeydew melon. The

wine shows that signature richness and subtle creaminess that is so

distinctive of Alois Lageder and his biodynamic farming.”

TENUTA DI BISERNOFrom the Lodovico Antinori stable, Biserno in Bolgheri is easily Italy’s best new discovery. This delicious, rounded Bordeaux blend plays in the same team as Ornellaia and Sassicaia, but is, for the moment at least, a veritable bargain. “Despite the ownership of Lodovico Antinori and the presence of an all-star team of winemakers that includes Michel Rolland, Tenuta di Biserno remains one of the best kept secrets in Bolgheri.”

“The flagship estate wine, 2010 Monteverro, is absolutely stunning. The excellence of the 2010 vintage is on full display thanks

to the integrity of the fruit, the supple richness of the mouthfeel and the tangy

sweetness of the finish.”

“The 2012 Bolgheri Le Serre Nuove is a voluptuous and generous wine that

bursts forth with wild-cherry aromas, blackberry, crème de cassis, oak

spice and smoke. It awards pleasure and smoothness, thanks to its plump

tannins and ripe fruit overtones.”

“Incredibly silky, bright and polished, with captivating aromatics, nuanced red cherry fruit and stunning overall balance.

The mid-weight, gracious style bears some resemblance to the 2010.”

TENUTA SAN GUIDOThis is the winery that coined the phrase ‘Super Tuscan’, producing Cabernet blends from the 1940s due to the Marchese’s love for Bordeaux wines. Originally only able to call these wines Vino da Tavola, it is a testament to the quality of Sassicaia that the DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia was created specifically for it. Guidalberto is the second wine of this incredible winery. “Unquestionably one of the most compelling and dramatic Cabernet Sauvignons I have ever tasted, it continues to go from strength to strength.” Robert Parker

“The 2010 has it all; expressive aromatics, wonderfully nuanced fruit and tons of

supporting structure. In time, the 2010 will be recognized as one of the all-time legendary Solaias. Actually, it already is.”

“Unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. The 2008 isn’t a huge or

obvious Tignanello, rather it is a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance

and precision. Understated layers of fruit caress the palate like cashmere in this

impeccable, soft wine.”

“Lush and caressing in texture, it shows fine fruit and tastes great, handling the wood rather brilliantly, showing it mostly in the

slightly sweet hint on the edge. It also seems nicely concentrated this year.”

“Tar, smoke, licorice, incense and the blackest of fruit emerge from this powerful, full-bodied Sicilian red. Leather, earthiness and graphite

are some of the nuances that add a baritone-like sense of gravitas on the finish. A huge, powerful finish rounds out in this brooding, imposing wine.”

SOLAIASolaia (derived from the Italian word meaning the sun) was first produced in 1978 from a parcel of Cabernet within the Tignanello vineyard that was deemed to be of such high quality that the Marchese decided to vinify it separately. Since then the quantity has increased from the original 3,600 bottles and the Solaia vineyard now consists of 20ha. Solaia is only produced in the best vintages and truly reflects its terroir. An elegant and captivating wine from the Antinori stable.

TIGNANELLOAntinori’s flagship wine, Tignanello, was the first wine in Tuscany to blend the local Sangiovese with non-traditional varieties, and became one of the focal points of the Tuscan revolution that occurred over the latter part of the 20th century. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in small oak barriques, this classic Super-Tuscan combines Chianti-like suppleness with Bordeaux-esque style.

Spain is the third largest producer of wines in the world with over a million acres under vine, more than any other country. Given the diversity of the country’s landscape and climates, and the fact that Spain is home to 60 regional DOs, it’s hardly surprising that it produces wines in a variety of styles.

From the fresh whites made from Albariño in Rías Baixas to top

end reds from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, there is a huge amount of

exciting wine available, offering fantastic value for money.

RIOJASpain’s most famous wine region, Rioja is situated in the north of the

country just south of the Cantabrian Mountains. The wines are normally

a blend of grapes, the majority being Tempranillo with some Garnacha and

Graciano.

Traditional style Rioja is distinguished by long periods of barrel ageing, whereas the

modern style favours the fruit and freshness of Tempranillo. Rioja is only ever released

onto the market when it is ready to drink and as such, offers incredible value for money.

“Green apple and crabapple as well as pineapple, white peach and honeydew

melon inform a bright but (at 12.5% alcohol) quite substantial palate and a

combination of density and vivacity such as is scarcely possible in wine from any

other grape.”

“The honeysuckle, white currants, quince and wet rock/mineral notes of the crisp yet full-bodied, concentrated

2012 Chardonnay Vine Hill are fresh, lively, exuberant and, at the same time, powerful and elegant. This is a beauty, combining both elegance and depth.”

“Opening with apricot, guava and honey toast scents with a waft of butterscotch,

the 2015 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch has a medium body laden with ripe

stone fruit and toast flavors, marked by a lively backbone and finishing clean

and fresh.”

A significant wine player, the USA is the fourth largest producer of wine after France, Italy and Spain, with wine produced in all 50 states.

California is by far the most significant state with it accounting for 90%

of the country’s wine output, from tiny producers to some of the world’s

largest brands. Napa and Sonoma in California are responsible for

producing some of the world’s best Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot

Noir, Zinfandel and Chardonnay.

Washington in New York State produces some fantastic Bordeaux blends

whilst Oregon is known for outstanding Pinot Noir.


“Polished, vibrant and distinctive for the guava accents around a supple core of

cherry and spice, all of it lingering as the finish revs up. Shows some cedar

notes as well. This one has pizzazz.”

“This zeroes in on a rich, hedonistic core of wild berry, blackberry, plum and

currant flavors, with a graceful, elegant mouthfeel and supple, caressing tannins.

The long and powerful yet refined aftertaste keeps reverberating fruit

generosity while maintaining Cabernet’s strength of personality.”

“The exuberance and drama in the stunning nose offers up notes of Asian

spice, ripe black currants, kirsch, tobacco leaf and Christmas fruitcake. It is full-

bodied and opulent, with no hard edges, a seamless integration of acidity, wood and tannin and a density and richness

that are built to go on for 25-30 years.”

berry and cherry flavors and a hint of spicecake. A vanilla note comes up with air and carries through a smooth, gently

tannic finish.”

“An utterly majestic Shiraz, sleek and seamless, brimming with ripeness on

a framework that allows for grace and expressiveness in equal measure. The

intensity of fresh blueberry and plum fruit holds attention until the nuances kick

in, offering glints of exotic spice, coffee, cocoa, bay leaf and mint.”

PENFOLDS GRANGEGrange is Australia’s icon wine, and deservedly so. Richly textured, intensely concentrated and packed with fruit, these are immensely complex, beguiling wines that seduce the senses. “Grange, Penfolds’ flagship wine, is, by many accounts, the most renowned and world-famous wine produced in Australia.” Robert Parker

Generally considered to be the most successful New World wine producer, largely due to building a brand around Shiraz, Australia produces wines in a wide variety of styles.

Shiraz and Chardonnay make up 44% of total plantings, with increasing amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir being grown.

The wine regions vary hugely: from the Barossa, home to the oldest vines in Australia and producing top quality Shiraz; to Clare Valley, famous for some of the country’s richest Rieslings.


“Pretty white blossom notes – orange and peach blossoms – over a core of grapefruit,

white peaches and baking bread with a hint of marzipan. Medium bodied and still

very tight in the mouth, it has great tension lifting the citrus and stone fruit flavors,

finishing long and creamy.”

“Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with an expressive cassis, pencil shavings

and blackberry-laced nose with some cloves and chocolate box nuances. The

medium to full-bodied palate offers a nice backbone of grainy tannins

and refreshing acidity supporting the generous fruit, finishing long with some

lively herbal notes.”

“An intense bouquet with complex notes of white peach, linseed oil, a touch of

dried apricot and peony. The palate is well balanced with a slight viscosity on

the entry, the acidity nicely judged with peach skin and guava vying for attention

on the composed finish.”

Waterford Estate Chardonnay2015


“Superripe aromas of black raspberry, coffee liqueur, chocolate and mocha. Broad, concentrated and sweet, with

CLOUDY BAYEstablished in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first five wine makers to venture into Marlborough. At the time, it was almost an unimaginable place to set up a vineyard. However, Cloudy Bay’s founder, David Hohnen, was convinced of its potential to produce great wine and so invested in the best land of the region. Since then, Marlborough has risen to become New Zealand’s leading wine region, as well as one of the finest winemaking locations in the world.

VERGELEGENRenowned as being one of South Africa’s best wine producers, the Vergelegen estate was founded in 1700. Since then it has been owned by some of the world’s great explorers and visionaries, each of whom, in their own way, has helped shape Vergelegen into what it is today: a world-class estate. First producing wine in 1992, Vergelegen has since won over 200 awards and attracted lots of international recognition for their hand crafted wines.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has become synonymous with New Zealand and is now a brand in its own right. There is far more to the wine industry here than just Sauvignon however - fantastic Pinot Noir from Central Otago, Syrah from Hawkes Bay and Chardonnay from Marlborough, all displaying a purity of fruit unique to New Zealand.

Thanks to the hard work of several very talented winemakers and the privatisation of the state-controlled winemaking co-operative, the South African wine industry has taken

a huge change in direction in the last 20 years. Previously known for cheap wines that often ended up being distilled into brandy before hitting the shelves, the now vibrant

industry is earning a reputation for some of the most exciting wines on the market.South Africa is famous for Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the

indigenous Pinotage.


SWEET & FORTIFIED SWEET & FORTIFIED

Marmalade, fruitcake and spice with caramel, orange blossom,

coffee, peach liqueur and hazelnut complexity. Simply magnificent. The

wines from Szt Tamás are the best of the best. Classed a First Growth in 1700, today it is the most expensive

vineyard in its commune.

“The palate is wonderfully balanced with botrytis-rich fruit, a multilayered and opulent Rieussec that somehow

maintains quite brilliant balance towards the minerally finish. This is one of the great wines from the estate in the

modern age.”

“The nose is like the throbbing engine of an Aston Martin Vantage, ready to go. It is so packed with intensity. The

palate is perfectly balanced and laden with botrytis, with heavenly focus and a

crescendo of flavors that take your breath away: acacia honey, yellow plum, white

peach and orange sorbet.”

“This wine comes to us from one of the finest producers of sweet Moscato that

I know of. The bouquet is redolent of honey, sweet peach and exotic fruit. In

the mouth, the wine is creamy and rich. This vintage strikes me as particularly well

put together and articulate.”

“Offers a very complex bouquet with fresh pineapple, quince, Japanese yuzu,

just a hint of grass clippings and then later mille fieulle. It feels smooth and

pure – gentle in the mouth, caressing the senses with its quince and marmalade

tinged finish with a suggestion of shaved ginger on the aftertaste. Wonderful!”

“Big, weighty and mouth filling, this is an aromatic Tawny that finishes with acidity

and tension. Grippy on the finish, its flavors become more interesting as long as it sits in the glass (or on your palate).”
