Vinos Inacayal La Cueva

​

  • COUNTRY - Chile

  • REGION - Colchagua Valley

  • GRAPE - Carignan, Pais

  • FOOD MATCH - BBQ Meats, Lamb

  • ALCOHOL - 13.5%

​

PRODUCER: 'La Cueva' project set out to create excellent value wines, as naturally as possible, that faithfully reflect the place they come from. All fruit is sourced from old, dry-farmed vineyards. The local variety Pais has quite a story, being the first grape exported from Spain to Mexico in the 16th Century.

​

TASTING NOTES: A real gem from Chile, made from a juicy blend of Carignan and local variety Pais (which adds amazing colour and fruit flavour to a blend). 'La Cueva' is grown organically without any irrigation, as the vines thrive in the natural, dry heat of the Colchagua Valley. The result is a moreish red packed with black and red berry fruit, pepper spice and a delicate note of violet on the finish.

Gran Cerdo Tempranillo Rioja

​

  • COUNTRY - Spain

  • REGION - Rioja

  • GRAPE - Tempranillo

  • FOOD MATCH - Roasted Chicken, Chicken, Lamb, Veal

  • ALCOHOL - 13%

​

PRODUCER:  The winemaker, Gonzalo Gonzalo Grijalba is a legend (and not just for his name) because he has proved that you can make a fantastic Rioja, following Organic & Biodynamic practices, at an affordable price. 

​

WINEMAKING: Gran Cerdo Tempranillo is all about the purest expression of fruit with whole bunch fermentation, no filtration, no stabilization and minimal sulphur. 

​

TASTING NOTES: The wine has real character, all the juicy elements of Tempranillo, with no dirty oak to mask its charm. It has a natural way about it but with no funkiness. With its cherry-red, purplish, brilliant colour Gran Cerdo reveals primary notes of fresh fruit, strawberries, raspberries, cherries and violets with clean mineral tones from the granite. This little natural wine is phenomenal value. The herbaceous flavours gives the wine a slight green finish with a little spice, while the tannin and acidity cry out for some red meat.

​

PRODUCER:   Corryton Burge is named for Corryton Park Homestead, the heart and soul of the Burge family. Set amongst gentle hills in Eden Valley, it is guarded by a pair of proud griffins. These fabled creatures, now featured on the wine labels, are said to protect precious possessions. Today Corryton Park Homestead is where the Burge family comes together. Family weddings and milestone birthdays have been celebrated, along with many a casual gathering with friends over good food and wine. This home, with its spirit of family and friendship, embodies the heart and soul of Corryton Burge wines.

TASTING NOTES:   Deep ruby red with purple hues, strawberry, raspberry and vanilla aromas. Rich fruit forward characters of raspberry and plums tantalise the palate. There is a soft toasty oak influence that enhances the vanilla and spice. Subtle tannins leave the palate quite moreish and a delight to keep coming back to.
