Villa Sandi We have long established relationships with many of our suppliers, many of whom are smaller, family owned and quality led. The Villa Sandi estate Vigna La Rivetta lies in the heart of the 1068 hectares of the Cartizze area, between the hamlets of Santo Stefano and San Pietro di Barbozza, in the municipality of Valdobbiadene. A sparkling jewel protected by the hills of the Marca Trevigiana, Villa Sandi is a Palladian style masterpiece dating back to 1622, and it is also the main office of the company. The Villa rises from a fertile countryside in which fields and farms, nowadays as well as in the past, pay homage to the local history. A vibrant stage in which nature and architecture live in total harmony together; place of delight and headquarters, the complex of Villa Sandi is an enchanting estate where man and environment are in perfect symbiosis. The entrance is an elegant alley sided by statues of the popular Venetian sculptor Orazio Marinali, whose works decorate also the gable and the backyard. The Villa, cultural heritage of the Trevisan land, is situated between the D.O.C.G. area of the Prosécco of Valdobbiadene and the D.O.C. area of the Montello and Piave wines. 2 Prosecco Prosecco continues to dominate the sparkling wine market and shows no sign of wavering.

Now converted into a winery, the Manor House is a magnificient example of those ancestral Galician houses (XVI century) built in the countryside with all the charm and history of days gone by. The Pazo and the winery owned originally by husband and wife team Marisol Bueno and Javier Mareque but now in the hands of their four sons and daughters, Marisol, Vicky, Javier and Santiago, began its wine-producing career in 1989, although the estate had been growing wine grapes previously. The origin of the name Pazo de Señoráns is unknown - whether it was the locality that gave the Pazo its name or the Pazo that gave its name to the site is a mystery! 4 Albariño Albariño is a grape variety from the Northern end of the Iberian Peninsula, more specifically the Riás Baixas region in Spain. The area is often known as ‘Green Spain’ as they have much rainfall compared to the rest of Spain and it looks similar to parts of the UK. They do however have about 2000 hours of sunshine each year which makes it a perfect wine growing area producing plump white wines with peach, citrus and mineral characters that pair perfectly with the local seafood. The variety is high in acidity, and can be produced as a light white wine or in a fuller style, with oak or lees ageing adding to the texture and richness. A marine characteristic from the nearby Atlantic Ocean is often discernible, sometimes manifesting itself as a slight salinity, which makes Albariño a perfect food wine.

It excels in terroir with high limestone content as found in Champagne & Chablis. Burgundy remains its spiritual home, unquestionably producing some of the finest dry white wines in the world, though the New World is making major ‘in-roads’ and closing the gap each year. The popularity of Chardonnay has once again rocketed and this is because we understand the many styles it is available in from the steely dry Chablis to the rich buttery oaked Chardonnays from the New World.

It is a variety with a pink to red skin colour, which makes it a white wine grape as opposed to the blue to black-skinned varieties commonly referred to as red wine grapes. The variety has high natural sugar and the wines are white and usually off-dry, with a flamboyant bouquet of lychees. Indeed, Gewürztraminer and lychees share the same aroma compounds. Dry Gewürztraminers may also have aromas of rosés, passion fruit and floral notes. It is not uncommon to notice some spritz (fine bubbles on the inside of the glass). A perfect partner to food with a touch of spice. Bin Vintage 175ml 250ml Bottle 20.

As Austria battles its way back to stardom on the international wine market, crisp, spicy Grüner Veltliner has been its flagship wine. The finest expressions of Austrian Grüner come from vineyards above the Danube River, in Wachau, Kremstal and Kamptal. Classic Grüner Veltliner wines show citrus aromas of lemon peel and grapefruit complemented by fresh vegetal notes and the variety’s trademark hint of white pepper.
