Red Wines

Bodegas Edguren Rioja Cosecha 2003- Spain

This is not the leathery-old-boot of a wine you may presume. The Eguren family use modern techniques to craft a luscious, round, berry fruit driven wine from their Tempranillo grapes.

Cuttaway Cabernet Sauvignon

Ruby red in colour with ripe blackcurrant and spicy oak aromas. Matured in selected oak for 12 months producing a well balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with sweet berry characters and savoury tannins giving a long smooth finish.

Villa Cafaggio Chianti 2002- Italy

A consistent achiever of top marks at International wine fairs, it is difficult to find better Chianti than this. Plums and black cherries are in every mouthful of wine with beautifully refined tannins that goes well with almost every non-fish dish.

Lirac 2000- Rhone

Using experience from one of the oldest wine producers in France, Lirac is an appellation in its own right that epitomises the high quality of Rhone wine without the old dusty flavours.  Bursting with flavours of red fruits, this medium bodied wine has bright colour and great length.

Chateau Teyssier Grand Cru 2001- Saint Emilion

A boutique winery owned by Jonathan Malthus that is on the gravel plateau surrounding St Sulpice, St Emilion.  The Merlot is so deep and brooding after vinification it only needs a year in new oak to provide the subtle tannin and structure of this elegant wine.

L'Etranger Cabernet Sauvignon 2003- Barossa Valley, Australia

From the same boutique winery of Chateau Teyssier, winemaker Jonathan Malthus is bearing fruits in the Barossa Valley.  If you want a full on, deep flavoured and bodied red this is your baby.  An explosion in the mouth of dark jammy fruits, smokey tannins and velvety rich mouth feel make this a wine to savour.

Chateau Mont Redon, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2001- Rhone, France

Established in 1344, Mont Redon is one of the oldest wine producing estates in France and the largest single property in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Traditionally made from a blend of thirteen different grape varieties, the fruit in this wine has acquired rich, toasty flavours from the 12 months oak ageing process. Spicy rich and opulent food wine, best with rich red meat and game or lamb.
