Travel the wine world for under £80!
We're all a bit fed up of not being able to travel, so we've come up with a case of 6 wines from across the globe for under £80. Verdeca ‘Talò’ 2020, San Marzano, Puglia £10.00 This is a bone-dry Verdeca which shows a richness of aromatics, white flowers, crisp green apple and a hint of honey. Full flavoured, with a creamy texture and a long and intense finish. Faultline Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Marlborough, New Zealand £13.00 This typical Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc offers peapods, gooseberry and asparagus with a fresh and herbaceous flavour. Ideal for a glass or two or it works well with food.

Rich and opulent on the palate with a creamy vanilla spice, it has a persistent, elegant finish. Beck Ink 2020, Weingut Judith Beck, Burgenland, Austria £15.00 A rewarding natural red wine that is very fragrant, light in tannin and has good acid balanced – it’s a delicious crisp red, and the wine holds a beautiful red-violet color. Rioja Crianza Rivallana 2018 Ondarre, Rioja, Spain £12.00 Spicy fruit aromas are complemented by subtle notes of vanilla from oak ageing. Savoury and ripe fruit flavours combine on the palate resulting in a traditional Rioja style. Malbec Le Pur Fruit du Causse 2019, Cahors, France £15.25 Bright, intense purple colour, recognisably Malbec with bramble fruit and grip, yet at just 12.5% alcohol it’s a genuine vin de soif – even for serving slightly chilled in warmer summer months. Radically brilliant. -
Vincent Girardin exists today as one of the smaller Burgundy negociant houses, owning 13 hectares of prime vineyards with contracts to buy high-quality fruit from another 85 hectares, over many of which they have direct control. From a lesser known village this Auxey Duresses 2015 has exceptional ripeness, texture and fine minerality. -
Bergerac Blanc, Moulin des Dames, Château Tour des Gendres 2017 £26
Unctuous and superbly rich and full-bodied, this is a very ripe expression of a barrel aged Sauvignon Blanc from the Bergerac region of the south of France.
Complex with flavours of apricot and citrus, it would be perfect with fish in a creamy sauce, shellfish or blue cheese.

Bourgogne Blanc 'Terroir Noble', Vincent Girardin 2017, Burgundy, France £21.50
Vincent Girardin exists today as one of the smaller Burgundy negociant houses, owning 13 hectares of prime vineyards. This Bourgogne Blanc is, thanks to Burgundy's strict vineyard classifications, something of a bargain as the fruit is all sourced from Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault (hence 'Terroir Noble') -
Tocco Colline Pescaresi is an organic family farm in Alanno, in the Pescara hills in Abruzzo. This organic Pecorino is bright in colour, intense lemon zest and heaps of minerality. Fresh and very drinkable, also a great food wine. -
This is a wonderful Premier Cru Chablis, vines all planted on Kimmeridgian limestone. The 1er Cru Fourchaume is produced from vines planted between 1942 and 1989. The wine offers vanilla, smoke and sweet cooking spices such as nutmeg alongside wonderful honeyed notes. -
This classic Chablis come from parcels situated beside the village of Fontenay-Près-Chablis, at the very heart of Chablis’ vineyards. There’s no oak but lots of lively stone fruit and citrus flavours with a mouth-watering, crisp finish and almost chalky minerality, thanks to the old vines chosen to make this fabulous wine. -
Neal and Judy Ibbotson were pioneers in the Marlborough wine industry, first planting vineyards in the valley in 1978 and then establishing Saint Clair Family Estate in 1994. They own 160 hectares of vineyard in 10 different Marlborough locations chosen specifically for the attributes of their individual "terroir" and ability to produce top quality grapes. Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Chardonnay has aromas of fragrant peach, toasted hazelnut and cinnamon spice with smoky nuances. The palate is round and full with nectarine, vanilla, nutmeg and a gentle touch of coconut. Drinking beautifully now, this wine will continue to evolve and reward over the next five years with careful cellaring. -
This excellent Wine from Domaine Michel Niellon has all of the complexity and richness you would expect from this stellar producer. Notes of lime and crunchy green apple mingle with salty oyster shells, carpentry workshops and gun smoke. Think lobster or langoustines to match with this outstanding Burgundy, which also offers clean minerality to balance its rich complexity - a brilliant Wine.
