Weekly Treats - wine at silly prices (but you can only have 2 bottles)
It's an exciting one for our weekly treats, as it's finally the turn of a true staff favourite - pig wine!! This eyecatching number isn't necessarily one you'll have heard of but this Portugese hidden gem is a truly outstanding wine, packed full of flavour. Also on offer this week is the 16 Stops Chardonnay, which is an unoaked, beautifully clean wine, brimming with fresh fruit, perfect for these (slightly) sunny spring days.
We want to continue to say thank you for all the support we have been given over the last year the best way we know how...by offering incredible wines at honest prices with some amazing weekly treat wines thrown in! We aren't trying to move stock with these wines, we haven't inflated any prices to give a discount, we genuinely aren't making any money on these wines... hence why we are only letting you take TWO BOTTLES MAXIMUM.
Herdade do Peso Trinca Bolotas Alentejo Tinto
A robust, black fruit flavoured wine with a gamey edge.
Affectionately known as pig wine, due to to the Iberian black pigs that eat acorns around the vineyard. Herdade do Peso's sustainably farmed vineyard is located in Pedrogão within the Vidigueira commune, where the climate is warm and sunny with little rainfall. Winemaker Luis Cabral de Almeida is well known for making fruit-expressive wines that relfect the warmer climate of Vidigueira.
The wine is intense ruby red in colour. On the nose, there are vibrant aromas of red fruits and floral notes. The palate is well-balanced with smooth tannins and a lively, refreshing acidity. A perfect food wine with good structure and a long finish...more
This is great with hearty meat dishes. It'll pair beautifully with this Chorizo, pork belly & chickpea casserole
A new world Chardonnay made with exceptional quality!
The grapes for this Chardonnay were sourced from four different vineyard sites across South Australia. The fruit was picked and taken to the winery in the cool of the night, where it was fermented in stainless steel tanks. No oak was used at any stage to retain the fresh fruit character in the final wine.
Crisp and elegant, this wine displays fresh citrus aromas complemented with white peach and nectarine on the palate. A lovely texture and a savoury edge. The acidity is nicely balanced, giving the wine good length on the finish...more
