  • Tutored Wine Tasting
    Tutored Wine Tasting PORT Speaker: Eric LAGRE Sommelier Port is the classic fortified wine from the Douro, the name of which derives from Oporto (Porto), the second largest city in Portugal, whence the wine has been shipped for over 300 years. Remains of stone troughs for the fermentation of foot-trodden grapes dating back to at least the 3 rd and 4 th centuries can be found throughout the Douro Valley, upstream from Oporto. But the denomination “Porto/Port”, however, only appeared during the second half of the 17 th century, coinciding with a boom in viticulture and wine export initiated by English merchants. Port has actually often been described as the archetypal wine of the British, and the reason for that is not difficult to discover: Port was created by the British for the British market. HISTORY The 1386 Treaty of Windsor was the first of a series of treaties to build strong and active links between Portuguese coastal cities and London. By the time of the reign of Henry VII, the English had established businesses and trade associations benefiting from certain diplomatic privileges in the ports of Lisbon, Oporto, and most importantly, as far as the wine trade was concerned, Viana do Castelo, in the Minho, right to the north of the county. Portuguese wines were often traded for woollen goods from England or dried, salted cod from Newfoundland, bacalhau thus becoming a staple of Portuguese cuisine. Since the thin and astringent Vinho Verde of the Minho was not a wine to the liking of the English consumer, English merchants would rely on Portugal only when needed, mostly because it was the easiest option in terms of shipment.

Drink now (WS). Pairs well with oysters, seafood, spaghetti alle vongole and chicken. Estate Grown. Sustainably Farmed. Vegan. #2 Jules Taylor, Sauvignon Blanc, 2019 Rating – RP 91, WW 91 Marlborough, New Zealand 13.5% Blending fruit from several subregions has given the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc a lovely balance of herbal and fruity characters, with notes ranging from jalapeño and grassiness to stone fruit, passion fruit and citrus. It's medium to full-bodied, with excellent concentration and some real length, a rare treat to find in a classic Marlborough bottling these days (RP). Pair with fish, oysters, risotto. #3 Invivo X by Sarah Jessica Parker, Sauvignon Blanc, 2019 Rating – WW 90, WS 90 Marlborough, New Zealand 13% This wine is fresh, smooth, and layered on the palate.

  • WI Emailer Winners 2010:Layout 1
    AWARDS 2010 INCORPORATING FINE WINE AWARDS WINE INNOVATION 2010 The Wine Innovation Awards launched last year by the drinks business recognise and reward the creative in wine. The awards highlight the work of brand owners and winemakers who are innovating and making top- quality wines – whether in the vineyard or the winery – and give those winemakers a chance to shout about how they are changing the face of modern winemaking. The awards are open to new and existing producers who have started fresh winemaking projects – a first vintage, a new launch or an experiment. The response to the Wine Innovation Awards this year has again been excellent with entries coming in from all corners of the winemaking world. FINE WINE AWARDS 2010 To coincide with the launch of our Fine Wine Fair in London this year, we announced the first awards programme for wines which sell on quality not price. The category is open to wines with a retail price of approximately £8 and above. This new departure has been greeted with enthusiasm and we believe that next year will see a greater success for these awards. THE JUDGES In 2010 we were lucky enough to count upon the experience, expertise and integrity of a number of judges drawn from across the drinks sector – both internationally and in the UK. The awards’ product categories were decided by country and then by varietal. All wines entered into the Wine Innovation Awards competition were then blind tasted by panels of industry experts and re-tasted as appropriate. The judges were particularly impressed by the wide variety of different and innovative wines.

The inaugural Graham Norton’s Own 2015 Shiraz is a blend of grapes from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek which ‘Chief Winemaker’ Graham Norton blended the wine at Bantry House in County Cork, Ireland with the Invivo team. The 2016 ‘Pink by Design’ Rosé is produced from Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes grown in Marlborough and Hawkes Bay. Both wines have been launched in Australia and New Zealand, and the Shiraz will be available in UK/Ireland from this month with the Rosé being launched in time for the Northern Summer 2017. They follow Graham Norton’s first foray into wine, with his Graham Norton’s Own Sauvignon Blanc in 2015 (from Marlborough) selling over 600,000 bottles and chosen for Qantas Business Class.
