£77.02
The Eguren s most cherished Rioja vineyard is called La Veguilla, planted 1975 at San Vicente de la Sonsierra The vines here produce just two or three bunches of grapes each year, and the fruit quality is already outstanding However, to make Amancio, La Veguilla's most exquisite individual grapes are selected and de-stemmed by hand The wine therefore requires longer ageing in top-quality, new French oak Bordeaux barrels, which is why it is released the latest It also demands further ageing in the bottle to truly show its extraordinary nature, so be prepared to hold on to it for a few years With maturity, you can expect an impressive explosion of flavour complexity: black cherries, dark chocolate, figs, aniseed, dried herbs, woodsmoke, soy sauce, spices and beef stock Patience required, but absolutely worth the wait!
Meinert Pinotage 'Printer's Ink' 2018 75cl
£14.60
This is a fabulous Pinotage - one of the best we have ever tasted, including examples that cost considerably more than this Pinotage is Pinot Noir crossed with Cinsault, and this wine tastes exactly like that - it has the beautiful hedgerow fruit of Pinot Noir, seasoned with the liquorice and star anise spice of Cinsault Caressing the palate with Pinot's seductive silky softness, it has just a touch more roundness and body A succulent wine with beautiful balance and no hard edges Martin Meinert explained that the 'burnt rubber' flavour associated with Pinotage is in fact the taste of careless winemaking, to which this grape variety is highly sensitive By taking meticulous care of the fruit from picking all the way through the winemaking process, Meinert ensures that we get to experience its true - delicious - character The Printer's Ink name is a tribute to the Meinert family's heritage as master printers in Namibia
