Seasonal Stock up - tasting notes - -- Whites -- AMALAYA, TORRONTÉS/RIESLING, CALCHAQUÍ VALLEY, ARG fresh - fragrant - grapefruit Amalaya translates to ‘hope for a miracle’ in the indigenous language of the now extinct Calchaquí tribe. Amalaya’s claim to fame is having some of the highest vineyards in the world at nearly 1,828 metres above sea level. This blend of signature Argentine grape Torrontes alongside Riesling benefits from those heights with its refreshing acidity alongside these grapes’ signature aromatic and floral flavours. One for the garden. AZEVEDO ‘VINHO VERDE’, LOUREIRO/ALVARINHO, MINHO, POR citrus - nectarine - spritz Vinho Verde is our choice drink for summer! Made in the wet and green part of Northern Portugal - Vinho Verde’s signature style is young and fresh, so young in fact it typically has a spritz left over from fermentation. It’s that spritz alongside its summer nectarine and lime fruit, that make it a super refreshing tipple in the sunshine. One for a picnic in the park. DUQUESA DE VALLADOLID, VERDEJO, RUEDA, ESP pineapple - grass - anise Duquesa de Valladolid showcases Rueda’s star grape Verdejo in all its glory! The grape used to be prone to premature oxidation but by careful handling in the winery, Verdejo is as fresh as it gets! Often likened to a Sauvignon Blanc expect a crisp acidity alongside citrus fruit, pineapple and grass. One for Spring Greens. @agrapenightin | @unwinedsw17 | @unwinedse1 unwinedbars.co.uk -- Rose -- M/S ‘AKLUJ’, SANGIOVESE ROSÉ, MAHĀRĀSHTRA, IND coral - soft - summery This is a joint venture between Piero Masi, a Tuscan winemaker and wine writer, producer and innovator Steven Spurrier. With two BIG names like these making wine then you know you’re in for a treat – even if this is from the lesser explored wine country of India!! See Italy’s Sangiovese grape as you’ve never seen it before in this beautiful rose-petal coloured rose, expect a fresh and dry rose, with a soft palate and berry fruit. One to take with you to the seaside. -- Reds -- MONTES ‘LIMITED SELECTION’, PINOT NOIR, CASABLANCA, CHL strawberries - cherries - vanilla Montes was established in 1988 and were instrumental in revolutionising the then largely poor-quality Chilean wine industry. Using measures such as planting at altitude, sustainable practices in the vineyard, and by planting near the coast - they showed just what Chile was capable of! Today they are an iconic name in Chile and whilst a larger winery, they remain true to their roots. From the cool climate region of Casablanca comes this elegant Pinot Noir, with bags of strawberry and cherry fruit and toasty notes. One to share with a loved one. ‘16 STOPS’, SHIRAZ, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, AUS vibrant - spice - plums 16 Stops wines are made with fruit from across South Australia. A winery that grows top quality fruit and offers amazing value for money! Specialising in Australia’s two signature grapes Chardonnay and Shiraz, we love the accessibility of the latter. This is youthful and vibrant, with dark fruit and spiced plums alongside a super silky texture. One for mid-week drinking! @agrapenightin | @unwinedsw17 | @unwinedse1 unwinedbars.co.uk.
