Alpha Box & Dice ‘Blood of Jupiter’ Sangiovese, McLaren Vale 2019
£21.00
Morello cherries, dusty, dark chocolate, blood oranges and warm spices on the nose. Soft and full palate weight with supportive tannins to the finish. Playful and active –it lights up all the parts of your mouth. An amazing thing, this wine illustrates exactly AB&D’s ambitions to nod with respect to European heritage but to have the courage to have a local expression.

CHAMPAGNE – Champagne Charles Chevalier Brut d’Honneur
Wine, Sparkling
PRODUCTION
The vines are mainly planted in shallow soil which encourages the roots to grow deeply into the underlying chalk, providing them with water and warmth. The Pinot Noir vineyard in Aÿ has a sunny, south-facing slope, which allows the grapes to reach excellent maturity. Sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture is practiced wherever possible. The harvest is always done by hand. Grapes are whole bunch pressed and the juice is racked to a tank where it is allowed to settle for at least 12 hours. The clear juice is racked and yeast added to encourage a thorough fermentation at a cool temperature, approximatly 15-17°C. After a short period of post ferment maturation, the wine is bottled with a yeast addition to allow for secondary, in bottle, fermentation. The dosage is 9 g/l.
TASTING NOTE
A fine Champagne, made in the classic tradition of the houses of Aÿ. Principally Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a little Pinot Meunier, matured in cool chalk cellars before release.

SPUMANTE BRUT – Palladiano Durello
Wine, Sparkling
Citrus and gently floral aromas lead to a very fresh and zippy palate with crisp green apple and lightly honeyed characters. A refreshing and approachable style of fizz - yet with texture and depth underlying the bright fruit.

PICPOUL DE PINET “L’Ormarine Duc de Morny”
White, Wine
Gently perfumed, ripe melon fruit and fresh citrus on the nose. The palate is ripe but retains excellent freshness, balanced by a touch of white pepper spice that is very typical of its grape variety. Deliciously long, the finish shows bright fruit and a clean, saline/mineral edge.
