Tasting notes
Sourced from southern facing vineyards on the edge of Montpellier, this Syrah has a wonderful balance of ripeness and freshness. A two week fermentation on the skins has draw a wonderful robe of garnet-red with shimmering highlights. There’s plenty of spice that adds depth to the core of ripe fruit; yet this spice doesn’t dominate, it just hovers in the background and is happy to let the fruit take the lead role. Unlike some of wines produced in the south of France, this doesn’t have excessive levels of alcohol. This is more about approachable elegant fruit with balance and poise. One of favourites’ from the range. A cracking wine at less than £10.00.

Waddesdon Rothschild Collection Merlot, IGP Pays d’Oc, France
£12.75 – £72.00 Buy Sourced from southern facing vineyards on the edge of Montpellier, with vines approaching 45 years of age. Old vines are not usually the source of fruit for wines that accommodate the sub of £10.00 bracket; another wonderful trait this new collection of wines has to offer. A small proportion of the wine (10%) is aged in French oak. This helps to provide the merlot fruit with spice and texture. Spicy notes with eucalyptus and red fruit aromas on the nose, followed by sweet fruits and mellow tannins on the palate. An approachable and moreish Merlot! -

Waddesdon Rothschild Collection Pinot Noir, IGP Pays d’Oc, France
£12.75 – £72.00 Buy Sourced from a cool vineyard near Limoux which is planted on Marl from the Oligocene period. This is ideal soil for the production of great Pinot Noir. Just 20% of the wine has been aged in French oak which adds a toasty spicy depth. There's plenty of fruit and fairly muscular frame which leads to a spicy liquorice finish. This actually fairly full bodied, it's got a nice core of juicy red fruit and loads of sweet earthy spice. A powerful and confident Pinot.
