Because being<br />
Carbon Neutral<br />
is just the<br />
beginning.<br />
We believe every business has a duty of care to minimise its impact<br />
on the environment, which is why <strong>Lanchester</strong> <strong>Wines</strong> has worked<br />
tirelessly over the last decade to ensure sustainability is at our core.<br />
Our business’ greatest opportunity to make a change is through<br />
minimising our reliance on fossil fuels. As such, we’ve invested over<br />
£13million in renewable heat and energy generation at our sites across<br />
the North East of England and today our business is powered almost<br />
completely by renewable wind and solar energy.<br />
We actively seek business partners and suppliers who share our vision<br />
to proactively improve their sustainability. Each of our wine suppliers<br />
has adapted to their environment, social surroundings and used the<br />
resources available to them.<br />
A lot of hard work goes into every single glass of wine we enjoy. At every<br />
stage of a grape’s growth, expert care and attention is given to not only<br />
quality but sustainability - from water conservation to soil management,<br />
and vineyard grazing through to community projects.<br />
You can be assured the wine in your glass truly is sustainable.<br />

ARGENTINA<br />
In the colder<br />
south, you will<br />
find wines with<br />
higher acidity<br />
and lighter<br />
fruit.<br />
Biggest producer of Malbec in the<br />
world.<br />
Over 60% of Argentine wine is grown<br />
in the Mendoza region.<br />
Some vineyards are 3000m above<br />
sea level causing slower ripening<br />
grapes with more freshness and<br />
acidity in the wines.<br />
Wine production in Argentina dates back to the 16th<br />
century when Spanish colonisers brought vines with<br />
them to the region. Today, the vineyards of Argentina<br />
cover 220 000 hectares across different regions each<br />
producing widely different wines and styles to explore.<br />
In the colder South of these wine regions, you will find<br />
wines with higher acidity and lighter fruit. These regions<br />
are known for great Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.<br />
While, in the warmer North, you often find full-bodied,<br />
structured Malbec and Chardonnay.<br />
Argentina is the fifth largest wine producer in the<br />
world after Italy, France, Spain and the USA. The main<br />
producing region is the province of Mendoza producing<br />
more than 60% of the Argentinian wine, followed by<br />
the provinces of San Juan and La Rioja, and then Salta,<br />
Tucumán, Catamarca, La Pampa and Rio Negro.<br />
As the 2nd largest wine producing region of Argentina,<br />
San Juan accounts for around 20% of the total wine<br />
production. The region is located in west-central<br />
Argentina and right on the foot of the Andes Mountains,<br />
which supplies the dry region with meltwater.
ARGENTINA<br />
Malbec<br />
Originally a French grape, Malbec was brought to South<br />
America by French immigrants in the 19th century. It is<br />
now one of Argentina’s signature grapes and particularly<br />
thrives in high elevation areas, such as San Juan which is<br />
mostly 640m (2,100 ft) above sea level.<br />
Extremely popular, Malbec represents approximately 40%<br />
of the total red wine produced in Argentina. Malbec wines<br />
are loved for their rich, dark fruit flavours and smooth<br />
chocolatey finish. Dry, full body and medium tannins<br />
combine to make Malbec perfect to pair with leaner red<br />
meats and melted blue cheese.<br />
Vineyard in San Juan, in the North of Argentina<br />
High Side High Altitude Single Vineyard<br />
Malbec 2020<br />
Calingasta, San Juan<br />
High altitude, single vineyard Malbec 'Soft and<br />
velvety with an intense hit of ripe blackberries<br />
and dark plum on the tongue allied to notes<br />
of dark chocolate and a slight touch of black<br />
pepper. It also benefits from a long and satisfying<br />
finish'- John Clarke, the Independent<br />
This high altitude, single vineyard Malbec is from grapes<br />
grown 1,360m above sea level in Calingasta, on the<br />
slopes of the Cordillero de Los Andes overlooking the<br />
wider San Juan region. This area is home to some of<br />
the highest cultivated vines in Argentina which creates<br />
wines with high concentration of aroma and big body.<br />
The water which irrigates this area comes exclusively<br />
from the completely pure snow thaw of the Andes<br />
Mountains.<br />

Nestled in the sub<br />
region of Tupungato<br />
in the province of<br />
Mendoza, lies the<br />
Gouguenheim Winery.<br />
Its location in the<br />
foothills of the Andes<br />
Mountains, with vineyards at more than 1,000m<br />
altitudes, means there is a huge difference between<br />
wines from this region with those that come from other<br />
parts of Mendoza.<br />
Established by Patricio Gouguenheim nearly 20 years<br />
ago, it was in 2014 that the winery became the first in<br />
the country to make and sell a sparkling wine made<br />
from the country’s signature grape - sparkling Malbec<br />

AUSTRALIA<br />
White wines<br />
make up 45% of<br />
all crushed<br />
grapes. Of the<br />
reds, Shiraz<br />
accounts for<br />
45%<br />
5th largest wine-producing country<br />
in the world.<br />
Over 100 different grape varieties.<br />
Home to some of the oldest vines in<br />
the world. The oldest in Australia is<br />
in Barossa Valley, Planted in 1843.<br />
Full-bodied Shiraz, oaky Chardonnay, fresh Sauvignon<br />
Blanc, and tannic Cabernet Sauvignon. These are just<br />
a few of the many styles and grape varieties you find in<br />
Australia. The country is mostly affected by the warm<br />
climate although some regions like Tasmania experience<br />
a much colder climate. In 2014 there was an almost<br />
equal amount of red and white wine but the latest years<br />
have seen a tendency in more production of red wine.<br />
In the vintage of 2022, the percentage of white grapes<br />
crushed was 45%.<br />
The main grape in Australia is Shiraz, which in other<br />
countries is known as Syrah. While Syrah is best known<br />
for the wines of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage, Shiraz<br />
produces wines with more body and dark fruit in<br />
Australia. These wines are often easy to drink and pair<br />
well with most sorts of food. Maybe that is the reason<br />
why 45% of red grapes in Australia are Shiraz.<br />
Although the general value of the grapes has fallen<br />
the quality of the grapes has not. Even though many<br />
winemakers report massive rainfalls and wildfires across<br />
the country they seem to have overcome the challenges<br />
once again. In general, the quality is consistently high<br />
but we are looking at a cooler vintage overall.

Back in 2014, winemaker Jo Nash<br />
discovered an exceptional parcel of<br />
Shiraz which was gently crushed and<br />
then stored away in some ridiculously<br />
expensive French oak barrels to age for<br />
12 months.<br />
All the while, keeping this expensive<br />
project a secret from Gary, the<br />
accountant. ‘Don’t tell Gary‘ became the<br />
code name of the project and it seemed<br />
a fitting name for the finished wine.<br />
The result of this covert operation is a<br />
glorious, rich and powerful Shiraz. The<br />
wine speaks for itself – minimal<br />
intervention, purity of fruit, Shiraz at<br />
its best.<br />
Made by a winemaker, not an<br />
accountant.<br />
Enjoy with abandon.<br />

What was the inspiration for the Bella Luna range?<br />
The Bella Luna story came from the McPherson vineyards in the first years of the<br />
new century, when a lovely picker named Edo (Eduardo)from Rome came to work<br />
with the team and would testify to Jo (Jo Nash, McPherson winemaker) about the<br />
joys of the Italian varietals. After working with Jo for some time and sampling many<br />
bottles, Edo convinced Jo that it would be worth planting just one vineyard<br />
of Fiano and Nero d’Avola and, finally, she agreed.<br />
There was just one hitch…. Edo insisted the vines needed to be planted on the night<br />
of the full moon. He told her planting in this way has been practiced since ancient<br />
times and it would make all the difference to the resulting grapes if the vines were<br />
planted under the “Bella Luna”.<br />
Now, Jo is a practical person however, Edo is even more persuasive than Jo is<br />
practical, so somehow Jo found herself overseeing a full moon planting of the<br />
vines that would grow the grapes for our Bella Luna wines.<br />
We will never know if the beautiful moon on the night of the planting made<br />
a difference to the wine but we like to think it did, and we do feel there’s magic<br />
in that bottle.<br />
Nuovi classici.<br />
Australian winemakers have been experimenting with Italian grape varieties over the last several<br />
years. Some of these experiments started with climate change in mind, but several winemakers<br />
have also long held the view that certain Australian climates were already a good natural fit for<br />
the sun-loving varieties of southern Italy, in particular.<br />
When you think about it, this rise of the Aussie Italians makes sense; the Mediterranean climate of much<br />
of south-east Australia is ideally suited for Italian grape varieties. However, these wines aren’t strictly the<br />
Italian classics we’re used to. While the Australian climate may be similar, the terroir creates a different<br />
depth of character, profile and aroma. Rather, these Australian Italian wines are an ‘interpretation’; these<br />
winemakers are creating a new style of wine whilst maintaining the characteristics of the grape.<br />
There has been with a shift towards more savoury flavoured wines, partly in rebellion to the fruit bombs<br />
of the past, partly due to food culture which has seen a rise in attention to good food. <strong>Wines</strong> that are<br />
more on the savoury side with more acidity and structure, like those produced from these Italian<br />
grape varieties, are generally more food-friendly.<br />
And, of course Australian wine regulations are not as strict as those of Europe, for example; so there is no<br />
restriction on which varieties may be planted or indeed where they may be planted. Indeed, Australia’s<br />
wine industry has a history of experimentation, not afraid to dig up swathes of vineyards<br />
to respond to changes in taste or in climate.<br />

AUSTRALIA - McPherson Wine Co<br />
Meet the Winemaker - Jo Nash<br />
Jo graduated from Charles Stuart<br />
university and began her career under<br />
Andrew McPherson’s tutelage at the<br />
family-owned winery, becoming head<br />
winemaker in 2011.<br />
She is perhaps best known for Don’t<br />
Tell Gary, a wine she first made by<br />
quietly by passing the annual budget<br />
set by the winery’s general manager,<br />
the eponymous Gary.<br />
Jo Nash<br />
McPherson is very much like a family. When you’re in the winery everyone is working together, everyone is<br />
appreciated, everyone has a part to play. It’s certainly not a hierarchical structure, it’s a warm family environment<br />
where everyone comes to work and does a great job. I’d extend that to the sales and marketing team too.<br />
Andrew McPherson is lovely; he’s like a big teddy bear. He’s really gruff on the outside but warm and lovely on the<br />
inside. We certainly had our differences of opinion over the years but we worked collaboratively and we got the end<br />
results we wanted. He was great. In the early years he was there as much as I needed him to be and then he allowed<br />
me to step up and put my fingerprint on the wine and the winemaking styles.<br />
The philosophy for me has always been, why interfere with the style of the fruit? Let the fruit do the talking and let<br />
the wine speak for itself, so whether we are making a commercial wine or a premium wine or anything in between,<br />
it’s really important that stylistically you put your nose in the glass and you’re like, “yep, it’s a fruit-driven style, it’s<br />
fresh, the wine’s in balance”.<br />

The guys work so hard out there in the<br />
vineyards and there are so many challenges.<br />
So it’s important we capture all of that work.<br />
I’m really lucky in that we’re located in central<br />
Victoria and we get to draw fruit from various<br />
regions surrounding us. So not only do we<br />
look at central Victoria in terms of Strathbogie<br />
Ranges and Heathcote up to Dookie but we<br />
move out to places like the King Valley and<br />
towards the Yarra.<br />
So there are so many different regions that<br />
we actually get to be involved with, which is<br />
fantastic, because all the regions have their<br />
own nuances.<br />
The McPherson winery team<br />
I’ve never been a big fan of American oak, it’s always been French for me. It’s much more delicate and integrates<br />
a whole lot better with the wine. There’s nothing more romantic than a French oak 500-litre puncheon that’s<br />
brand new. If you’re fermenting Chardonnay and you stick your nose in the barrel it’s<br />
just the most amazing thing you’ve ever smelled.<br />
I have a love/hate relationship with vintage. Every year before you head into it you’re thinking, “goodness, here we<br />
go again”, but once you’re into it it’s just the most amazing thing. The winery is full of aromas and the team just<br />
comes together.<br />
We’re very busy and a very small team but we are all conscious that we have to have a good time. When you’re<br />
mid-vintage and working 12 hours a day, six days a week, or longer, if you can’t have a laugh, then what’s it all<br />
about? We keep a sense of humour and we don’t take ourselves too seriously and I think that’s been part of the<br />
success of the business. We are making this wine with this crew of people, and people on the other side of the<br />
world are enjoying it. That’s what we do it for. That’s what gets me out of bed.<br />

Riesling. We’re trying to grow the most pristine,<br />

into the winery as quickly as we can and press it<br />
while it is as cool as it can be.<br />
“The fruit comes from three vineyards in the<br />
Great Southern region. it’s technically dry but<br />
the wine does have a touch of residual sugar<br />
which we retain because we do want a little<br />
bit of weight, texture and aromatics, and a bit<br />
more flavour.”<br />
AU285 - 12x75cl 1<br />
“This off-dry Riesling represents Plan B’s<br />
signature style. it’s an absolute crowd pleaser!<br />
Made with free-run juice from Great Southern<br />
vineyards, it has a residual sugar level of 27g/l<br />
but the natural acidity of the fruit balances it<br />
beautifully.<br />
We pick this Riesling a little earlier so there’s<br />
bright acidity, which is really important. The key<br />
to this wine is the play between natural fruit<br />
sweetness, natural acidity and the pH”<br />
Plan B ‘OD’ Riesling 2021/22<br />

“There is no doubting the well-made commercial Australian wine widely available, and<br />
the more iconic traditional styles in niche segments still sought after. By and large, they<br />
are either Chardonnay, Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines, but the really exciting<br />
action currently in the Australian category is centred around alternative varieties and wine<br />
styles with personality and character.<br />
“Varieties such as Riesling (although far from alternative!), Chenin Blanc, Arneis, Tempranillo,<br />
Sangiovese, Gamay, Grenache and blends are being crafted through a new lens, delivering<br />
wines with vitality and energy. Whites with lifted aromatics, bright, textural palates and reds<br />
that are supple, medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant with a savoury core are capturing the<br />
attention of consumers for their moreish drinkability.<br />

bright, aromatic red wines. As the years have gone<br />
by, we’ve started to make bigger, oakier, fuller<br />
wines. But our reds are more restrained, more<br />
elegant, more savoury and medium bodied.<br />

This wine has some of the aromatics and silkiness<br />
from Pinot, but the structure, body and spice of<br />
the Shiraz.”<br />
“I travel a lot, we drink quite widely and I still have not<br />
seen or tasted or even heard of another blend like this.<br />
“The fruit comes from 20 year old vines grown at 220m<br />
altitude in the Geographe region of Western Australia.<br />
The first vintage we made, back in 2007, just before<br />
bottling, when we looked at the barrels we thought the<br />
tannins were a little rustic and I said jokingly ‘it needs a<br />
bit of Viognier to silken off the palate’.<br />
“There were a couple of barrels of Viognier so we tried it<br />
out with 2% and were just amazed. It lifts the colour and<br />
gives the wine an aromatic lift too as well as texture and<br />
silkiness to the palate.”<br />
Plan B ‘TV’ Tempranillo Viognier 2020<br />

Fruit from separate vineyard patches picked<br />
at night and fermented between 24-26C for<br />

AUSTRALIA - Grounded Cru<br />
Joffa<br />
Based in McLaren Vale, South Australia, Grounded Cru<br />
creates handcrafted wines from the vale, hills and creek.<br />
Cru chief Geoff 'Joffa' Thompson, and winemaker Matt<br />
'Jacko' Jackman, produce wines with passion and honesty,<br />
delivering the vineyard to your table.<br />
The name ‘Grounded Cru’ epitomises Joffa’s philosophies.<br />
‘Grounded’ reflects his down to earth nature and the fact that<br />
he values relationships (collaborating with growers, etc) and<br />
pays attention to the little things; handcrafting his wines. It also carries a link to terroir<br />
and the vineyard. ‘Cru’ is a French word meaning ‘growth’. It is also used with terms<br />
‘Grand’ and ‘Premier’ to classify the superior quality of a vineyard. Joffa also likes to<br />
think of ‘Cru’ with regards to joining the crew or being part of a group of like-minded<br />
people. The Grounded Cru brand features handmade typography and a down to earth<br />
(grounded) Australian icon. We think this perfectly tells our unique story.<br />

Australian Dessert Wine<br />
With temperatures in some areas reaching well over forty degrees and high humidity, both white and<br />
red grapes are produced en masse and are reasonably inexpensive to grow, age and bottle. Australians<br />
have also fully embraced sweet wine grapes, leading to vineyards perfecting their respective growing<br />
and ageing techniques as early as the 1980’s.<br />
Playfully referred to by the Aussie’s as 'stickies,' dessert wines down under are in majority viscose,<br />
syrupy, bold and have punchy flavours.<br />

Austria<br />
Grüner Veltliner<br />
is by far the most<br />
planted grape<br />
variety<br />
Grüner Veltliner accounts for 1/3<br />
of all vineyards planted.<br />
A typical Grüner Veltliner will<br />
show notes of white pepper.<br />
Vienna has its own wine region.<br />
After 1985 when Austria experienced the glycol scandal<br />
the quality of the wines have been continuously rising.<br />
With the toughest wine laws of the world and a unique<br />
climate the country might be one of the most exciting<br />
to follow in the next decade. The star of the country is<br />
called Grüner Veltliner and you can find the grape variety<br />
in all wine growing areas in Austria.<br />
2022 in Austria was very promising with a dry summer<br />
and perfect ripening. Despite the expected high quality,<br />
yields were slightly lower than usual. With 2,460,275 Hl<br />
recorded in 2021 the total wine production from Austria<br />
is quite low compared to other countries. With 2020 and<br />
2021 being vintages with record high acidity it seems<br />
that the acidity of vintage 2022 has returned to normal<br />
standards. This will please wine lovers who like more<br />
easy drinking wines with more complexity.<br />
Grüner Veltliner is by far the most planted grape variety<br />
with approximately a third of the total vineyards planted<br />
with the famous white grape.<br />
The capital of Austria, Vienna has its own wine region.<br />
When travelling from the airport to the city you an<br />
actually see several vineyards around on the slopes.

Did you know...<br />
Grüner Veltliner is native to Austria and is its most famous, and most planted varietal.<br />
Grüner derives from a crossing with Traminer, however the second parent remains unconfirmed, but it is<br />
thought to be a Century old variety discovered in St. Georgen in Burgenland.<br />
Grüner Veltliner is characterised by such aromas as grapefruit and lemon zest.<br />

Valle Central's<br />
Mediterranean<br />
climate brings<br />
cool nights<br />
and warm<br />
days, which is<br />
perfect for vine<br />
growing.<br />
Chilean winegrowing is highly<br />
affected by the French who brought<br />
knowledge, grape varieties and<br />
techniques.<br />
Carménère was thought to be<br />
extinct before it was found growing<br />
in Chile.<br />
The vineyards of Chile are protected<br />
from extreme weather by the lowlying<br />
Coastal Range of mountains.<br />
Wine production in Chile has a long history dating back<br />
to the 16th century when Spanish colonisers brought<br />
grapevine cuttings to the country. Today, Chile is one<br />
of the largest wine producers in South America and is<br />
known for its high-quality red and white wines.<br />
The country's wine regions, such as the Valle Central and<br />
the Casablanca Valley, have different climates and soil<br />
types that allow for the cultivation of a wide variety of<br />
grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,<br />
and Sauvignon Blanc. Chile's winemakers have been<br />
experimenting with new techniques and technologies to<br />
increase the quality of their wines.<br />
Valle Central (Central Valley) is one of the country's most<br />
important wine regions, known for producing a wide<br />
range of high-quality red and white wines. The valley is<br />
located in the heart of Chile and stretches from Santiago<br />
to the south of the country. The climate of the region<br />
is Mediterranean, with cool nights and warm days that<br />
provide ideal growing conditions for vines. The valley's<br />
soil is mostly alluvial, formed by rivers, which are rich<br />
in nutrients and minerals, making it ideal for grape<br />
cultivation.<br />
Valle Central is known for producing a wide variety of<br />
grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,<br />
Carménère, and Sauvignon Blanc. The wines produced<br />
in the Central Valley stand out for their complexity,<br />
balance, and elegance.

CHILE<br />
Part of the famous Matetic business,<br />
Ventopuro’s aim is to make wines that tell<br />
the story of where they come from. But, the<br />
producer also feels a responsibility to support<br />
the people and the environment of rural Chile.<br />
L-R: Matetic's Juan José San Martin and Arturo LarraÍn with<br />
<strong>Lanchester</strong> <strong>Wines</strong>' Rebecca Vernon and Lesley Cook.<br />
We asked Juan José San Martin from<br />
Ventopuro to explain more about Ventopuro:<br />
Tell us a little about Ventopuro and how it fits into the Matetic family.<br />
Ventopuro is a brand that cares about environmental and social well-being. We are<br />
developing three different projects that reflect each different range. We have a bottle<br />
recycling project, a barrel recycling project and a reforestation project. Matetic, is<br />
focused 100% on sustainability working with organic and biodynamic agriculture to<br />
protect the health of our soil and our workers.<br />
You work in some very diverse terroir.<br />
We choose terroirs depending on where the variety is best grown. For example<br />
for Pinot Noir, we choose a cool-climate area close to the ocean, with not much<br />
temperature difference between night and day to ensure that we have a controlled<br />
maturation. On the other hand, we grow Cabernet Sauvignon in hotter areas in order<br />
to achieve the maturation that these grape needs to give us a first-class wine.<br />
Winemaker Felipe Vial<br />
The bottle recycling<br />
project<br />
Which regions are most exciting for you at the moment?<br />
We love Itata for Pinot Noir as we grow some very old vines there, close to the ocean<br />
and with an excellent terroir for the variety. Another is Casablanca and San Antonio,<br />
where we grow our Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to obtain wines with great<br />
natural acidity and crispness.<br />
How would you describe the Ventopuro winemaking style? Obviously<br />
the terroir will differ but is there a signature characteristic we could<br />
identify in all of your wines?<br />
We look for fruit-driven wines, with controlled oak maturation, aiming to reflect the<br />
terroir as much as possible.<br />
You are committed to sustainability in lots of different ways - is this<br />
something that you believe wine consumers are now expecting from producers<br />
and are they prepared to pay for it?<br />
It’s a trend that’s going to be a must in the coming years, and the new generations will<br />
for sure pay those extra cents to support sustainable farming and winemaking.<br />
How do you think the Ventopuro winemaking style has evolved since<br />
2016 ... and how do you think the wines of Chile as a whole have changed<br />
in that time?<br />
We’ve been trying to make easier-drinking and fruit-driven wines to adapt to new<br />
consumer trends. Chilean wines can be found all around the globe and you will<br />
probably see a big trend to lighter, lower alcohol, and easy-drinking wines.<br />
Repurposing old<br />
barrel staves<br />
Which grape varieties do you have the most success with, and which ones<br />
do you think might have the most potential for the Ventopuro range?<br />
We’ve had great success with the Pinot Noir Reserva. We have a great potential here<br />
since we have old vines and a story to tell behind this DO that is becoming famous for<br />
being one of the oldest winegrowing regions in Chile.<br />
How have the wines been received in the UK market?<br />
Excellently. Sales are growing year by year. As well as offering excellent quality for the<br />
price, the brand is innovative, and consumers appreciate it.<br />

of Chile, close to Concepción. These produce really low yields, leading to an easy-drinking, medium-bodied<br />
wine with lots of fruit.<br />

growing areas and is located close to the national<br />
capital, Santiago. Within the Central Valley there are<br />
four wine growing subregions: the Maipo Valley, the<br />
Rapel Valley, the Curicó Valley and the Maule Valley.<br />

Wine production in England is a story of perseverance<br />
and determination. Despite the challenging climate and<br />
a history of ups and downs, English winemakers have<br />
not given up on their dream of producing world-class<br />
wines. And it seems that their efforts are finally paying<br />
off.<br />
The 21st century has seen a significant increase in the<br />
number of vineyards and wineries in England, with<br />
more and more wine lovers recognising the quality<br />
and unique character of English wines. The milder<br />
climate due to global warming has helped to extend<br />
the growing season for grapes, making it possible for<br />
wineries to produce high-quality wines.<br />
In 2022, Sussex became<br />
the first PDO (Protected<br />
Designation Origin) in England.<br />

France<br />
France's vast<br />
winemaking<br />
regions offer<br />
different<br />
terroirs and<br />
microclimates<br />
French wine harvest is known as<br />
'La Vendage'. Because grapes ripen<br />
at different times, this spans two<br />
months, typically between August<br />
and October depending on weather.<br />
Estimates suggest harvest <strong>2023</strong> will<br />
be between 13-21% larger than 2021.<br />
Roughly 1/3 of all French wine is<br />
made in the Languedoc region.<br />
France is a country with a rich winemaking tradition, and<br />
its wines are considered some of the finest in the world.<br />
With the historic and powerful wines from Bordeaux, the<br />
elegant and extremely expensive wines from Bourgogne<br />
to the finest sparkling wines of the world in Champagne<br />
there is plenty of history and wine to discover.<br />
Among the many wine regions in France, Languedoc<br />
stands out for its diversity and quality. Languedoc is<br />
located in the south of France and is one of the largest<br />
wine-producing regions in the world. It stretches from<br />
the Mediterranean coast to the foothills of the Pyrenees<br />
and encompasses a wide range of terroirs and microclimates.<br />
The region is known for producing a wide variety<br />
of wines, from crisp whites to full-bodied reds, and<br />
everything in between. Languedoc is particularly famous<br />
for its red wines made from grape varieties such as<br />
Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan. The wines are known for<br />
their rich, ripe fruit flavours and good tannin structure.<br />
The region also produces a significant amount of rosé<br />
and sparkling wines.<br />
Languedoc has a long history of winemaking dating<br />
back to Roman times, and today the region boasts some<br />
of the most modern and state-of-the-art wineries in<br />
France. The winemakers in Languedoc are committed<br />
to producing high-quality wines using sustainable<br />
practices and protecting the environment.
L’Autantique<br />
For thousands of years the Autan wind blowing in from the sea<br />
has been sweeping through Languedoc wine region in hot gusts,<br />
shaping the vines in the style of their terroir. In other words,<br />
authentic.<br />
FRANCE - LANGUEDOC<br />
Sailing through the waters of the Mediterranean Sea where the waves<br />
are blown by the Autan wind, the ship "L'Autantique" is guided by<br />
a unique compass. The compass told the crew to set course for the<br />
Languedoc region and to start a new adventure. The crew decided,<br />
as a matter of course, to settle in these lands and plant vines.<br />
It was the ideal place for them: a fertile soil and, above all, the<br />
Autan wind, the same wind that had guided them to this land, so<br />
precious for growing this healthy vineyard and creating authentic<br />
wines.<br />

'This is the most exciting<br />
vintage in living memory'<br />
Winemaker Charles Bieler is delighted with his<br />
2022 Sabine Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence rosé<br />
Bieler Père et Fils Sabine Provence<br />
Rosé 2022<br />
Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence<br />
A delicate balance between floral, herbal,<br />
wild red fruit (not overly ripe), stone fruit<br />
and acid. Enticing aromatics of peach, white<br />
cherry and wild raspberry that are balanced<br />
by summer flowers, white tea and Provence<br />
herbs.<br />
The palate has tremendous length.<br />
Grape varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault<br />
FR330 - 12x75cl 2<br />
Charles Bieler<br />
The wine is a blend of Grenache (32%), Syrah (23%) and Cinsault (17%), with smaller amounts of Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon, Rolle, Grenache Blanc and Counoise in the mix. Bieler Pere et Fils, with Charles Bieler at the helm, has<br />
been making new plantings and grafting over extensively in the past 10 years. This has given it a rich selection<br />
of varieties, which is an important element in Bieler’s ambition to develop and enhance the flavour profile of the<br />
wines.<br />
2022 was warm and dry, giving the wine impressive concentration of flavour, with no loss of natural freshness. This<br />
is thanks to the fruit being sourced from the cooler, higher altitude vineyards that surround Aix-en-Provence. Here,<br />
because of the brisker night-time temperatures, the ripening period is that bit longer, which gives the grapes time<br />
to develop a broader flavour profile, while retaining natural acidity. On average, the fruit for Bieler’s rosé wines is<br />
harvested two weeks after the vineyards on the flatter Provençal plains.<br />
Charles’ lifelong passion for rosé is now decades deep. At a time when rosé was slightly unfashionable, he crossed<br />
the USA in a pink Cadillac promoting the Routas rosé, building a loyal fanbase.<br />
Bieler believes that Provence sets the gold standard in rosé wine. He says: “Our goal is to find the delicate balance<br />
between floral, herbal, wild red fruit (not overly ripe), stone fruit and acidity. We don’t want singular big flavours; we<br />
want more nuance, energy, soul and Sabine 2022 has aromas of peach, white cherry<br />
and wild raspberry, balanced by summer flowers, white tea and Provençal herbs. Both<br />
delicate and creamy on the palate, this rosé has terrific length, the raspberry, cherry,<br />
herbal, citrus and mineral notes lingering long and generously.<br />

Château Guirard, located in the heart of the commune<br />
of Sauternes, has a 100-hectare vineyard in a single<br />
block. The vines are planted around the cellars and<br />
the château. The Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc<br />
grapes ripen very early at Guiraud and undergo<br />
tremendous natural concentration due to the effects<br />
of "noble rot" (botrytis).<br />
The harvest takes place in several waves and the<br />
grapes are literally picked one by one. This process<br />
is not only risky, but accounts for very low yields. It<br />
nevertheless results in rich, complex wines.<br />
The quality of Château Guiraud's terroir earned its<br />
classification as a First Growth in 1855.<br />

Lovely soft fruit with spice, plums, herbs and<br />
a touch of leather behind. Quite forward in<br />

E<br />
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a wine area in Rhone<br />
Valley near Avignon that is famed throughout the<br />
world for its outstanding Grenache-based wines:<br />
In the northern part of the appellation, the altitude<br />
above sea level reaches 120 meters. The classification<br />
encompasses 3,200 hectares of land with at least<br />
three distinct soil types.<br />
Châteauneuf-du-Pape's unique terroir is derived<br />
from a layer of stones known as galets roulés<br />
(pebble rock). The rocks are usually quartzite and<br />
the remains of Alpine glaciers that have been<br />
smoothed over millennia by the Rhone. The stone<br />
stores heat throughout the day and releases it at<br />
night, which helps speed up grape ripening. Stones<br />
can also act as a barrier to keep moisture in the soil<br />
during the hot summer months.<br />
Chateauneuf-du-Pape means “Papa's New Castle”<br />
in French. This is from a 70-year era when the pope<br />
transferred his residence from Rome to Avignon. The<br />
popes were avid wine drinkers!<br />

GERMANY<br />
40% of the<br />
world's Riesling<br />
cultivation is in<br />
Germany.<br />
The second most grown grape<br />
in Germany is Müller-Thurgau,<br />
which is a crossing of Riesling<br />
and Madeleine Royale.<br />
There are 13 major German<br />
wine regions.<br />
Every autumn, the German<br />
Wine Institute chooses a<br />
“German Wine Queen” whose<br />
purpose is to promote German<br />
wine to the public.<br />
Germany is mostly known for world-class Riesling in<br />
dry, medium-sweet, and sweet styles. But the historic<br />
wine country also produces red wine with the grape<br />
Spätburgunder best known as a clone of Pinot Noir.<br />
Overall Riesling is the star of German wine and is the<br />
main grape variety of almost all wineries. It is found in<br />
all parts of the country and all sorts of styles. The most<br />
exclusive is the ‘Erste Lage’ Große Gewächs. These wines<br />
come from only the best vineyards and the sugar level is<br />
higher than many other Riesling wines when harvested.<br />
But because the winemaker ferments all the sugar away<br />
the wine is bone dry and holds around 14% alcohol.<br />
40% the world's Riesling cultivation is in Germany and a<br />
little over 20% of the total vineyard in Germany is planted<br />
with the grape. Riesling is known for its crisp acidity<br />
and minerality. It is also characterized by a wide range<br />
of aromas and flavours, such as green apples, limes, and<br />
lemons, which give it a fresh and lively taste.<br />
Some Rieslings can also have a distinct petrol aroma and<br />
taste, which is a result of the specific terroir, winemaking<br />
methods, and aging. In addition, Riesling can have<br />
delicate floral aromas and tastes, such as jasmine and<br />
honeysuckle.<br />

Italy is home<br />
to some of the<br />
oldest and<br />
most renowned<br />
wine-producing<br />
regions in the<br />
world.<br />
2% of the Italian population is<br />
involved in the harvest each<br />
year.<br />
The most popular grape<br />
Sangiovese is planted in 10%<br />
of all vineyards in Italy and<br />
translates to ‘Blood of Jupiter’.<br />
The Italian word for wine, vino,<br />
comes from the Sanskrit word<br />
“venas”, which translates to<br />
love. It’s also where the name<br />
“Venus”, the Roman goddess<br />
of love, comes from. We like<br />
to think these two words go<br />
together quite well.<br />
Italy is a fascinating wine country, with a rich history,<br />
diverse regions, and a wide variety of grapes and<br />
styles. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the rugged<br />
mountains of the Dolomites, Italy is home to some of<br />
the oldest and most renowned wine-producing regions<br />
in the world. As the largest wine producer in the world,<br />
Italy offers something for every wine lover, from crisp,<br />
refreshing whites to rich, full-bodied reds.<br />
One of the most iconic Italian grapes is Sangiovese,<br />
which is grown primarily in Tuscany and is the main<br />
grape variety used in the production of Chianti<br />
and Brunello di Montalcino. The wines made from<br />
Sangiovese are known for their bright red fruit flavours<br />
and high acidity. Another popular grape variety from the<br />
north of Italy is Nebbiolo, grown in the Piedmont region,<br />
which is known for its highly tannic and long-lived<br />
wines, like Barolo and Barbaresco.<br />
Moving to the south, Aglianico is a grape variety that is<br />
mostly grown in the Campania region and is known for<br />
its complex and full-bodied wines, with strong tannins.<br />
Nero d'Avola is another southern grape variety that is<br />
mostly grown in Sicily, it's known for its rich and spicy<br />
flavours, and good structure. Lastly, there is Primitivo<br />
known for its high alcohol content, and strong fruity<br />
flavour.

Ever had a wine that came<br />
in a concrete bottle before?<br />
Nether had we until we found the extraordinary Le<br />
Argille Cabernet Di Cabernet from 47 Anno Domini<br />
Vineyards - a 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and<br />
Cabernet Franc from Treviso, Italy.<br />
A serious bottle such as this merits a serious wine and<br />
Le Argille does not disappoint - the winemaker calls<br />
this ‘a strong, serious and unique wine’. Le Argille is<br />
aged in cement for two years which keeps the wine<br />
immaculate and free of aromatic interference (ie, from<br />
a barrel) ensuring its uniqueness and its warm, elegant<br />
and mature flavour remains intact.<br />
This outstanding wine is the result of a wise coupage<br />
of Cabernet grapes obtained through the Double<br />
Reasoned Maturation (DMR) technique, which is<br />
applied directly in the vineyard. This technique consists<br />
of clamping select branches before the grapes reach<br />
a complete maturation. This means the grapes start<br />
to age while still on the vine resulting in a greater<br />
concentration of sugar giving more structure and<br />
strength to the wine.<br />
Le Argille is aged in concrete for two years<br />
The wine is aged into cement vats for 24 months, after<br />
that the winery team performs a sensory test to decide<br />
when the best time to bottle is. After which the wine is<br />
then aged further for at least 6 months.<br />

ITALY - Chianti Marco Gavio<br />
Marco Gavio is a history of passion, tradition and<br />
innovation which started in the 1970s when Sergio<br />
Gavioli moved to Chianciano Terme in Tuscany to<br />
open a small winery. Sergio’s passion is shared by<br />
his son, Marco who, today, has the leading role in the<br />
ambitious project to give a new identity to Agricola<br />
Gavioli, starting with the launch of his eponymous<br />
range of outstanding Chianti.<br />
Each bottle of Marco Gavio wine shows a golden or<br />
white line symbolically embracing the bottle - exactly<br />
as Marco embraces the vines so the grapes grow strong.<br />

Do you know the legend of the Gallo<br />
Nero?<br />
You’ll notice the Chianti Classico bottles above<br />
have a black rooster on the cap - this is The<br />
Gallo Nero, the<br />
historic symbol of the League of Chianti and has<br />
become the symbol of Chianti Classico.<br />
Marco Gavio's vineyards in Chianti<br />
use pic of the gallo nero -<br />
https://www.shutterstock.com/<br />
search/chianti-gallo-nero<br />
This symbol is linked to a medieval legend that<br />
takes place during the time of open hostilities<br />
between Florence and Siena for control of<br />
the Chianti territory. In order to finally define<br />
political boundaries between the two cities, it<br />
was decided that two knights would depart<br />
from their respective cities at sunrise and fix<br />
the boundary at the point where they met. The<br />
rooster’s crow at dawn was the signal for the<br />
knights to start riding. The Sieneses opted for<br />
a white rooster; the Florentines chose a black<br />
rooster.<br />
The Florentines kept their rooster in a small, dark<br />
chicken-coop and did not feed it for days. On the<br />
day of the ride, once the black rooster was freed,<br />
it began to crow well ahead of dawn, allowing for<br />
the Florentine knight to depart well in advance<br />
of the Sienese knight. Thanks to his considerable<br />
head start, the Florentine knight met his<br />
opponent only 12 km from the point<br />
of departure of the Sienese knight. This allowed<br />
Florence to keep control of nearly the entirety<br />
of the Chianti territory.<br />

ITALY<br />
Italy’s wine regions are vast and varied - much like the country’s geography! Each of the country’s 20<br />
administrative regions produce wine, spanning the sun-drenched hills of Abruzzo, the Marche and<br />
Tuscany, to the misty, luscious hills of Veneto and the mountain-cupped Piedmont in the north, then back<br />
down to the high altitude wines found on the slopes of Etna in Sicily.<br />
There are about 350 official Italian wine varieties (although rumour has it over 2,000 different Italian grapes<br />
exist) and each region has its flagship wine styles. Some are famous because they are produced in large<br />
volumes and can be found all over the world, others because of their consistently high quality. Exploring<br />
Italy’s exciting wines is highly recommended.<br />

and diverse terroir also allow for a variety of wine styles<br />
to be produced, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and<br />
Riesling. The wine industry in New Zealand is relatively<br />
young, with the first vineyards being planted in the late<br />
1800s. However, it has rapidly gained recognition on the<br />
world stage, with New Zealand wines winning numerous<br />
awards and receiving critical acclaim.<br />
Until the 1980’s Müller-Thurgau was dominating the<br />
vineyards of New Zealand. But because of lower demand<br />
and higher risk of diseases the vineyards were rebuilt<br />
with new vines. From this day the New Zealand wines we<br />
now know started. Most winemakers planted Sauvignon<br />
Blanc, which is now dominating around 72% of the<br />
vineyards in New Zealand. The number one region of<br />
Sauvignon is Marlborough and, today three quarters of<br />
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is planted in Marlborough<br />
making it one of the most important regions in the<br />
world when speaking of Sauvignon Blanc.

Nika Tiki showcases the very best of Marlborough’s signature wines and was<br />
first created in 2012. Its name is in recognition of the traditional carved figurines<br />
found around the Marlborough region. While its label carries the silver fern, or<br />
ponga (from Māori kaponga or ponga), which is endemic to New Zealand and is<br />
commonly associated with the country, and the shape of the mountains who’s<br />
melting snow provides water for the vineyards where the grapes for this wine<br />
are grown.<br />
The new label design, which was launched for Vintage 2022, continues our<br />
homage to New Zealand with the fern and mountains. It also promotes both<br />
<strong>Lanchester</strong> <strong>Wines</strong> and the winery’s sustainability ethos, as its printed on FSC<br />
certified sustainable paper which is created from woodfree, 100%<br />
post-consumer recycled fibres.<br />
We work with one of New Zealand’s leading wine producers. It is accredited<br />
to Sustainable Winegrowing NZ which is an industry-wide certification<br />
programme led by New Zealand Winegrowers (https://www.nzwine.com/en/<br />
sustainability/swnz)<br />
The programme is widely recognised as a world-leading sustainability initiative<br />
and was one of the first to be established in the international wine industry.<br />

Marlborough Vineyards<br />
Marlborough put New Zealand on the international wine stage in the 1980s with its exquisite Sauvignon<br />
Blanc. Over 20,000ha of vines (around 2/3s of the national total) are under the care of local wine producers,<br />
making it the country’s largest wine region.<br />
A combination of a cool yet high sunshine climate, low rainfall and free-draining, moderately fertile soil<br />
produces uniquely vivid wines. Hailed as one of New Zealand’s most sunny and dry regions, Maori referred<br />
to Marlborough’s Wairau Valley as ‘Kei puta te Wairau’ – ‘The place with the hole in the cloud’.<br />
Marlborough is at the top of New Zealand’s South Island and can be easily reached by air or ferry from<br />
Wellington. The city of Blenheim is at the region’s heart, and is just a short 20 minute drive from the<br />
breath-taking beauty of the Marlborough Sounds. Over the hills and to the south are the Awatere<br />
Valley and the seaside town of Kaikoura.<br />

Marlborough Harvest<br />
In late 1990, a young couple left Auckland to re-settle in a rural pocket of Nelson, encouragingly<br />
named ‘Hope’. Swapping city for country life, Andrew and Jenny took on a four- hectare property<br />
determined to create something of their own. The vineyard had been partially established in the<br />
mid-70s by a pioneer amateur winemaker.<br />
From a single hectare planted in the mid-1970s, Greenhough’s home vineyards have grown to<br />
almost nine. Prized parcels of original vines planted in 1976 remain as some of the oldest in the<br />
region. The nearby Morison Vineyard, established in 2000, adds a further four hectares.<br />

Portugal<br />
Portuguese<br />
wines offer a<br />
diverse range<br />
of flavours and<br />
styles that are<br />
sure to delight<br />
any wine lover.<br />
Douro is the oldest demarcated<br />
and regulated wine region in the<br />
world, declared in 1756 and made a<br />
UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001.<br />
Portugal has more than 250 native<br />
grape varieties and the highest<br />
density of indigenous grapes per<br />
square mile of any country in the<br />
world<br />
Portuguese wine is a delicious and fascinating journey<br />
through history and terroir. The country’s wine industry<br />
has deep roots dating back to the Roman Empire and<br />
continues to evolve and innovate today. From the rolling<br />
hills of the Douro Valley, where port wine is produced,<br />
to the coastal region of Vinho Verde, where crisp white<br />
wines are made, Portuguese wines offer a diverse range<br />
of flavours and styles that are sure to delight any wine<br />
lover.<br />
The best-known Portuguese wine is Port Wine, which<br />
is made from a blend of grape varieties, with the most<br />
common being Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta<br />
Barroca. The wine is fortified with brandy, which stops<br />
the fermentation process and leaves a natural sweetness<br />
in the wine.<br />
Port was originally created as a way to preserve wine<br />
during the long sea voyage from Portugal to England.<br />
The addition of brandy helped to stabilise the wine and<br />
protect it from spoilage. Port is typically aged in wooden<br />
casks, which helps to develop its complex flavours. Some<br />
Ports can be aged for decades, and are considered some<br />
of the finest and most sought-after wines in the world.<br />
Portugal is the largest producer of<br />
corks in the world with just about<br />
half of total global production,<br />
equivalent to around 100 tonnes<br />
every year.
PORTUGAL<br />
Vallegre is owned by a family<br />
deeply rooted in the Douro<br />
region, so it’s no surprise that<br />
tradition is a major part of the<br />
company ethos.<br />
Quinta da Vista Alegre<br />
For Vallegre, progress and development are just as important<br />
as the traditions handed down from each generation. The<br />
company is thriving because it recognises the need to evolve and<br />
operate sustainably. General manager Miguel Martins describes<br />
Vallegre as “family-based and modern”. He says the “dynamism,<br />
creativity and innovation” so integral to the company is achieved<br />
“without forgetting the knowledge passed on from generation to<br />
generation”.<br />
Making wine since the 19th century, Vallegre is now a fifthgeneration<br />
family business, and its main focus continues to be the<br />
production of DOC wines, specifically DOC Porto, DOC Douro and<br />
DOC Moscatel do Douro. The wines are sold and enjoyed in almost<br />
40 countries and have earned many trophies and accolades over the<br />
years and although port is still its main output, its specialism in still<br />
wines continues to grow at pace.<br />
Vallegre comprises three estates in the heart of the Douro: Quinta<br />
da Vista Alegre in Pinhão, Quinta de Valle Longo in Cima Corgo<br />
and Quinta da Lameira in Baixo Corgo. This is mountain viticulture<br />
at its best, so pruning and harvesting must be done by hand. In<br />
a landscape that’s both magnificent and wildly challenging, it’s<br />
essential to operate sustainably. The winery has put many water<br />
saving and collection measures in place in case irrigation ever<br />
becomes a necessity. Martins say he has never had to do this in the<br />
past, preferring to stress the vines. But the effects of climate change<br />
might one day force him and his team to think differently one day<br />
soon.<br />
In addition to irrigation, planting of mixed legume seeds has already<br />
begun – a practice that improves the soil’s nutrient content and<br />
benefits pollinators. Sustainable practices also include plans for the<br />
installation of solar panels, and a considerable reduction of plastic<br />
packaging in favour of cardboard, which in turn is chosen very<br />
carefully.<br />

Romania is the fifth largest wine producing country in<br />
Europe, although its wines are still largely unknown<br />
amongst British wine drinkers. With 3000 hectares,<br />
Fetească Neagră, or black maiden, is Romania’s favourite<br />
indigenous red grape and second most-planted darkberried<br />
variety behind Merlot (11,901 hectares). Depending<br />
on climate and vintage, it can produce medium- to fullbodied<br />
wines.<br />
Recaș Wineries (Romanian: Cramele<br />

Romania's leading wine producer by 2018,<br />
with a turnover of €38 million. Additionally,<br />
it was the country's top exporter, sending<br />
half its output abroad.[1]<br />
The winery has an annual production<br />
capacity of 32 million liters. Its grapes grow<br />
on 1150 hectares in Recaș and Miniș. The<br />
grapes are in 25 varieties, producing 45<br />

South Africa<br />
The South<br />
African wine<br />
industry dates<br />
back to the 17th<br />
century when<br />
Dutch settlers<br />
first planted<br />
vines.<br />
It is possible to make fresh and<br />
light-style wines because of the<br />
two cooling ocean currents called<br />
the Cape Doctor and the Benguela<br />
Current.<br />
Eighth largest wine producer in the<br />
world.<br />
South Africa has a dedicated wine<br />
route: the Pinotage wine route<br />
takes visitors through the wine<br />
regions of Stellenbosch, Paarl, and<br />
Franschhoek, where they can taste<br />
this unique and delicious wine.<br />
South Africa is a country that is known for its diverse<br />
culture, beautiful landscapes, and, of course, its delicious<br />
wines! The wine industry in South Africa has a rich<br />
history dating back to the 17th century when Dutch<br />
settlers planted the first vines. Today, the country is a<br />
top producer of wine in the southern hemisphere and<br />
is home to a wide variety of grape varieties, wine styles,<br />
and regions.<br />
South Africa is known for producing some of the world’s<br />
best Chenin Blanc. This versatile grape variety is grown<br />
in many regions across the country and is used to make<br />
everything from dry, mineral wines to sweet dessert<br />
wines. South Africa also makes amazing Sauvignon<br />
Blanc and has their own grape variety called Pinotage,<br />
which is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault.<br />
An interesting aspect of South African wine is its use<br />
of “bush vines”. These are grapevines that are grown<br />
without the use of trellising or support systems and<br />
are trained to grow along the ground. This method of<br />
growing grapes is unique to South Africa and is used<br />
primarily in the production of dry land wines, particularly<br />
in the regions of Swartland and the Eastern Cape. The<br />
use of bush vines results in lower yields but the grapes<br />
that are produced are known for their intense flavour<br />
and concentration. The wines produced from bush vines<br />
are known for their complexity and character and are<br />
highly sought after by wine enthusiasts.
SOUTH AFRICA<br />
Created with the consumer in mind, our range of South African Sauvignon Blancs<br />
was first created in response to New Zealand’s poor 2021 harvest. However, these<br />
have become firm favourites<br />
and are most certainly here to stay.<br />
These Southern Hemisphere wines are easy drinking, approachable and have all the<br />
characteristics you’d expect from the UK’s favourite style of white wine - crisp and<br />
refreshing with delicious citrus notes. And fantastic value for money.<br />

Spain<br />
Spain offers a<br />
diverse range<br />
of styles and<br />
flavours, from<br />
rich, fullbodied<br />
reds to<br />
crisp, refreshing<br />
whites<br />
Spain is home to 13% of the world’s<br />
total vineyards making it the<br />
world’s largest producer by area,<br />
but only third by volume.<br />
More than 60% of all Cava produced<br />
in Spain is exported.<br />
Rioja wine has four categories,<br />
based on age: Genérico, Crianza,<br />
Reserva, and Gran Reserva.<br />
Spanish wines are known for their complexity, depth,<br />
and character. They offer a diverse range of styles and<br />
flavours, from the rich, full-bodied reds of Rioja and<br />
Ribera del Duero to the crisp, refreshing whites of Rueda<br />
and Galicia. The country’s fortified wines, such as Sherry,<br />
are also world-renowned for their complex flavours and<br />
long aging potential.<br />
Like many other countries, the heat was extreme in<br />
vintage 2022 and a new heat record was set in Spain.<br />
This meant that harvest in some places started as early<br />
as late July. It is expected that vineyards with coastal<br />
influence or higher altitudes will perform better as they<br />
often are cooler than other vineyards.<br />
When phylloxera hit in the 1860’s many winemakers<br />
from Bordeaux took the first train and ended up in a<br />
small town called Haro, which is now considered to be<br />
the ‘wine capital’ of Rioja. When French winemakers<br />
arrived they introduced new techniques and changed<br />
winemaking in Rioja. Previously the wines of Rioja made<br />
bulk wines but the French are to thank for the amazing<br />
wines coming from this region. If you take a bottle<br />
of Bordeaux and a bottle of Rioja many of the same<br />
characteristics will show, often making it difficult to<br />
differentiate the wines in blind tastings.

USA<br />
Spanish<br />
Missionaries<br />
planted the<br />
first vines in<br />
California in the<br />
18th Century<br />
The USA is the fourth largest<br />
producer of wine in the world<br />
but even without other regions<br />
California could be the fourth<br />
largest producer itself.<br />
Zinfandel is considered a California<br />
“heritage” grape and is grown<br />
in more acreage than any other<br />
varietal. Zinfandel is also known as<br />
Primitivo in Italy.<br />
White Zinfandel was invented in<br />
California in the 1970s.<br />
California wine is the pride and joy of the Golden<br />
State! Known for its sunny climate and diverse terroir,<br />
California produces some of the most delicious and<br />
sought-after wines in the world. From Napa Valley’s<br />
famous Cabernet Sauvignon to Sonoma’s lush<br />
Chardonnay, California’s wine regions offer a diverse<br />
range of flavours and styles to suit every palate.<br />
One fun fact about California wine is that it has a long<br />
history dating back to the 18th century when Spanish<br />
missionaries planted the first vines in the state. Today,<br />
California is the fourth largest wine-producing region in<br />
the world, and it is home to over 4,000 wineries.<br />
The popularity of Californian wine exploded in 1976<br />
when Steven Spurrier arranged the Judgement of Paris.<br />
The competition pitted California wines against French<br />
wines in a blind tasting, with a panel of French judges.<br />
The goal was to determine which wines were the best<br />
and to see how California wines stacked up against their<br />
French counterparts.<br />
The competition was a major shock to the wine world<br />
as the results revealed that the California wines had<br />
come out on top, with the 1973 Chateau Montelena<br />
Chardonnay and the 1973 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon winning in their respective<br />
categories. The results caused a sensation, challenging<br />
the long-held belief that only French wines could be<br />
truly great, and it marked a turning point in the world of<br />
wine.

Seaglass Wine Company: Discovering one of a kind coastal wines<br />
The vast expanse of California’s Central Coast is matched only by its diverse topography. Stretching 250<br />
miles south from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara County, the region’s 90,000 acres of vineyards are<br />
woven together by a single thread: proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The undeniable influence of the sea<br />
shapes the terroir here, ushering wind and fog across the vines, creating California’s longest growing<br />
season.<br />
California’s sunshine, dramatic landscapes, stunning coastlines and outstanding wine and food all act as<br />
inspiration for the Seaglass range of wines. This range offers a rewarding discovery of high quality, fresh,<br />
bright, flavourful wines made with food in mind:<br />
• Seaglass Chardonnay - This clean Chardonnay is<br />
elegant and lean, the perfect complement for<br />
light pastas, grilled fish or summer salads.<br />
• Seaglass Riesling - This Riesling pairs well with<br />
spicy Asian dishes, smoked salmon, lobster salad<br />
and blue cheese.<br />
• Seaglass Cabernet Sauvignon - Exquisitely balanced<br />
with vibrant acidity, this wine complements grilled<br />
lamb, pepper-crusted tuna or pasta in red sauce.<br />
• Seaglass Pinot Noir - Beautifully balanced with<br />
vibrant acidity, this wine is the ideal complement<br />
for grilled salmon, lamb and earthy mushrooms.<br />
Drink Seaglass wines however you wish. We’ve<br />
suggested food pairings but go ahead and enjoy exactly<br />
as you like; with or without food, mix and matched<br />
pairing, but most definitely, accompany Seaglass with a<br />
smile.<br />

In 1948, young Italian immigrant Mario Trinchero leaves New York<br />
City and heads west to the Napa Valley, hoping to build a better life<br />
for his wife Mary and their three children, Bob, Roger and Vera. The<br />
family purchased an abandoned Prohibition-era winery in St. Helena,<br />
refurbishing it and initially scraping by as a mom-and-pop operation.<br />
The family’s single-vineyard Zinfandel wines were greeted with<br />
acclaim from wine critics, sommeliers and consumers. But they really<br />
hit the big time in 1972 when Mario’s son Bob created the world’s first<br />
White Zinfandel. This was under the name of their winery, Sutter Home - at the time, they couldn’t afford to change<br />
the sign so the name stayed and became a legend.<br />
The family continued to expand throughout the Napa Valley and in 2007 opened the Trinchero Napa Valley winery.<br />
This is the first winery to showcase the Trinchero name, with wines and vineyards named to honour the family and<br />
their heritage.<br />
Every Trinchero Napa Valley wine is crafted with estate-grown fruit, selected by hand from TNV’s best vineyards<br />
throughout Napa Valley.<br />
Mario’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2019<br />

Aromas of fresh apple, caramel, crème fraiche,<br />
orange peel, and white peach. A soft mouthfeel<br />
supports flavours of ripe pears with hints of<br />
apricots. Balanced, persistent acidity with a<br />

full-bodied Chardonnay. Fermented and aged in<br />
100% French oak barrels, followed by malolactic<br />
fermentation then lees stirring for five months.<br />

Napa Cellars has been a true Napa Valley classic since<br />
1976. Though Napa Valley is small – 30 miles long and<br />
only a few miles across at its widest point – its varied<br />
microclimates and soils make it possible to successfully<br />
grow a variety of wine grapes. This gives Napa Cellars the<br />
luxury to choose the best fruit for each wine they make,<br />
without ever having to look beyond the Napa Valley.<br />
Winemaker Joe Shirley, a Napa Valley native, takes a<br />
decidedly minimalist approach, letting the vineyards and<br />
the grapes speak for themselves. “I don’t try to put a big<br />
winemaker signature on my wines,” Joe says. “The terroir<br />
of the vineyards here is so distinct, so extraordinary; I<br />
simply guide the wine toward the purest interpretation of<br />
the land.”<br />
The result is a collection of wines that offers the ultimate<br />
expression of Napa Valley – ripe, rich, clean and balanced.<br />

USA - Oregon<br />
Since the first grapes were planted<br />
in the state 50 years ago, Oregon has<br />
become recognised as one of the<br />
world’s elite winemaking regions.<br />
With 22 designated wine growing<br />
areas located in five diverse regions,<br />
Oregon now boasts more than 793<br />
wineries producing wine from over<br />
82 grape varieties.<br />
The state has a varied climate and<br />
unique terroirs. Most of its wineries<br />
are small and family owned, many<br />
producing fewer than 5,000 cases<br />
annually. They can be found sprinkled<br />
along country roads, tucked into<br />
mountain foothills, situated high<br />
above vineyards with breath-taking<br />
views of the landscape.<br />
Oregon’s northerly latitude means<br />
grapes get extra growing season<br />
sunlight for long, even ripening,<br />
combined with crisp, cool nights to help<br />
grapes retain their freshening acidity.<br />

notes followed by a smooth, elongated midpalate<br />
with tropical fruit flavours and a long,<br />
clean balanced finish. A long, cool fermentation<br />

characteristics of the fruit.<br />
Joel Gott<br />
Joel Gott, the founder of Joel Gott <strong>Wines</strong>, is a<br />

Winery in the 60s, and his father founded Montevina<br />
Winery in the 70s—Joel grew up in the vineyards and<br />
learned to drive a tractor before he could legally drive<br />
a car.<br />
For his Oregon wine range, Joel hand selects fruit<br />
from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where the region’s<br />
cool climate stresses the vines, creating smaller, more<br />
concentrated fruit clusters that yield more complex,<br />
flavourful wines.<br />

to soft, velvety tannins on the mid-palate and a<br />

well-balanced sugars and acidity.<br />

USA - Washington State<br />
Washington State is the second-largest wine region<br />
in the United States. The state has 16 unique AVAs<br />
(American Viticultural Areas), each possessing a<br />
unique combination of climate, topography and<br />
soils that define the aromas and flavours of locally<br />
grown grapes and the wines crafted from them.<br />
Washington’s growers and vintners work in<br />
tandem to produce a combination of old world and<br />
new world styles spanning over 70 grape varieties.<br />
Washington has the perfect climate for growing<br />
wine grapes, sharing the same latitude as other<br />
famous wine regions in Europe including Burgundy<br />
and the Rhône. This 46° parallel is the sweet spot for<br />
growing grapes as it receives the most amount<br />
of sunlight during the growing season.<br />
The state has a magical balance of heat and continentality<br />
that provides a contrast of ripeness with preserved acidity.<br />
The cool nights keep the wines of Washington fragrant<br />
and fresh.<br />
The Charles & Charles range is a<br />
collaboration founded in 2008 between<br />
Charles Smith (K Vintners, Charles Smith<br />
<strong>Wines</strong>) and Charles Bieler (Three Thieves,<br />
Bieler Père et Fils).<br />
Charles Bieler had a dream to make<br />
world-class rosé in Washington State<br />
and called his good friend, Charles Smith.<br />
From here, the Charles and Charles legacy<br />
was born.<br />
When Charles met Charles they both<br />
commented it was unusual to find two<br />
‘Charles’ - the name ‘Charles’ is usually<br />
shortened to Charlie, Chuck or Chaz in<br />
America - so commemorated the brand<br />
with their names.<br />
The iconic Charles and Charles Stars &<br />
Stripes label is a nod towards the American Legion Post No. 35 building in Waitsburg, WA (north of Walla<br />
Walla). Charles Smith bought this building and painted it to create a conceptual art piece, its intention is<br />
to provoke thought about the future while honouring the past.<br />

Columbia Valley, Washington State<br />
Pale salmon colour, copper pink with flashes of<br />

cherry, a light but dynamic palate with a tangy<br />
bright finish. All of the fruit is grown above<br />
1,100 feet, which may not sound that high, but<br />
in Washington only 10% of the total vineyards<br />
planted are above that level. This elevation<br />
ensures gentle ripening and natural acidity.<br />

Pet Nat<br />
Pet Nat (short for Pétillant-Naturel) is a type of<br />
sparkling wine that is made using the ancestral<br />
method, which is the oldest method for making<br />
sparkling wine.<br />
It is a natural sparkling wine that is made by bottling<br />
the wine before fermentation is complete, allowing<br />
the fermentation to finish in the bottle, which creates<br />
natural carbonation.<br />
Pet Nat wine is made from grapes that are harvested<br />
at an earlier stage of ripeness than those used for<br />
traditional sparkling wine, which gives it a lower alcohol<br />
content and a lighter, fresher flavour profile. The wine is<br />
bottled with the yeast still active, and the fermentation<br />
process continues in the bottle, creating carbon dioxide,<br />
which gives the wine its effervescence.<br />
Because the fermentation process is less controlled<br />
than with other methods of making sparkling wine,<br />
the resulting wine can have a range of flavours and<br />
textures, from fruity and floral to yeasty and funky. Pet<br />
Nat wines are often unfiltered and may have a cloudy<br />
appearance due to the presence of yeast sediment in<br />
the bottle.<br />
Pet Nat wines have gained popularity in recent<br />
years as a natural, artisanal alternative to traditional<br />
sparkling wines.<br />

The Moutard family is one of the leading Champagne producers (see next page). Several<br />
years ago the family purchased a domaine in Burgundy and began producing a range of<br />
interesting offerings, including Pétillant-Naturel - and the Pet’ Mout’ range was born!<br />
The wines are produced according to Methode Ancestrale<br />
- a traditional method of making sparkling wine that is, in<br />
fact, the world’s most ancient. The wine is bottled before the<br />
primary fermentation is finished, delivering a lower pressure,<br />
lightly sparkling wine in the pétillant style. The wine is finished without the<br />
addition of secondary yeasts, sugars, or sulphites. Grapes used for both of<br />
these wines are sustainably farmed and harvested from the Area of<br />
Tonnerre, which is close to Chablis in Burgundy.<br />
So, what’s this got to do with the flatulent sheep on the label? The name<br />
is a play on words: it could be an abbreviation of Pétillant Moutard, or an<br />
alternative is Péter Mouton (French dictionaries at the ready!). Even serious<br />
wine can have a bit of fun.<br />

CHAMPAGNE MOUTARD<br />

MOUTA RD<br />
CHAMPAGNE | BOURGOGNE | DISTILLERIE<br />
The Moutard family has been<br />
making wine since 1642 from its<br />
base in Buxeuil on the sunny slopes<br />
of the Côte des Bar and started<br />
producing Champagne in 1927<br />
when Lucien Moutard took over<br />
the family vineyards.<br />
Lucien learned the art of farming the local land from his<br />
father, Paul, something he passed on to his children: Agnès,<br />
Véronique and François who today run the company. And,<br />
they have been joined in the business by their sons: Thomas,<br />
Edouard, Alexandre, Benoit and Victor (familiarly nicknamed<br />
‘the boys’) making this a true family business! Importantly,<br />
the Moutard family respects its ancestral land. The family’s<br />
know-how is in keeping with tradition and consideration for<br />
the vineyards’ ecosystem in order to ensure handcrafted<br />
and sustainable viticulture.<br />

Champagne - Côtes des Bar<br />

FR937 - 3x75cl 1<br />
In 1952, Lucien Moutard planted a plot of the<br />
Arbane grape (10 acres). Arbane, cultivated around<br />
Bar-sur-Seine, had nearly disappeared from the<br />
Champagne vineyards. But François Moutard<br />
worked to preserve this rare variety which came<br />
from his father’s vines.<br />
He decided to dedicate a special cuvée to it,<br />
developed from the 1952 vines. A rare cuvée from<br />
which he produced several thousand bottles. “This<br />
variety was late to ripen and is difficult to work with,<br />
but it provides an unrivalled finesse to the blend”<br />
explains François Moutard.<br />
This special cuvée has notes of hawthorn and<br />
carnation, blended with aromas of Reinette apple,<br />
wild peach and even quince.<br />
This is an extremely rare grape: Moutard planted 10<br />
acres of the Arbane grape in 1952 and now only two<br />
hectares of the varietal can be found in Champagne.<br />
Established in 1905 in Epernay, the very heart of Champagne region, Champagne Ellner, the creators of Baron<br />
de Beaupré, is an independent family business. Its vineyards cover about 50 hectares and are spread across 15<br />
different villages.<br />
Since 2001, Champagne Ellner has taken an ultra-sustainable approach to its vineyards: a 50% reduction of vine<br />
treatments products, respect of the collective producers chart of cultural practices, application of gentle and<br />
respectful methods.<br />

SPARKLING - Cava<br />
Cava is a sparkling wine that originates from<br />
Catalonia, a region in north-eastern Spain. It is<br />
made using the same traditional method as<br />
Champagne, known as the méthode<br />
champenoise or traditional method.<br />
It is typically produced from a blend of three grape<br />
varieties: Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel·lo, although<br />
other local grape varieties such as Chardonnay and<br />
Pinot Noir can also be used. The production process<br />
involves a second fermentation that occurs in the<br />
bottle, resulting in the characteristic bubbles<br />
of the wine.<br />
Cava comes in different styles ranging from dry to<br />
sweet, with varying levels of sweetness labelled as Brut<br />
Nature, Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Seco, Seco, Semiseco,<br />
or Dulce. It is known for its crisp acidity, fruity flavours,<br />
and a wide range of aromas including citrus, apple,<br />
floral, and nutty notes.<br />
Cava is a popular choice for celebrations and is often<br />
served as an apéritif or paired with a variety of dishes,<br />
including seafood, poultry, and light appetisers. It has<br />
gained international recognition and is enjoyed by<br />
wine enthusiasts around the world.<br />
Jaume Serra Cava Brut<br />
Spain<br />
A pale yellow Cava with small and abundant<br />

delicate flavour.<br />

Did you know...<br />
The Spanish word cava means “cave” or “cellar”, as<br />
caves were used in the early days of cava production<br />
for the preservation or aging of wine.<br />
Spanish winemakers officially adopted the term<br />
‘Cava’ in 1970 to distinguish their product from<br />
French Champagne.<br />

GREENCROFT TWO<br />
Development of the UK’s newest wine bottling<br />
facility is well underway at our site in<br />
County Durham, constructed with <br />
sustainability at the heart of its design.<br />
Introducing Greencroft Two, Greencroft Bottling’s new state-of-the-art, self-powered home.<br />
Our new £21million building will be more than 22,000 square metres (equivalent to four football pitches) and<br />
will more than double the theoretical bottling capacity at Greencroft Bottling to 400 million litres per year.<br />
When complete, Greencroft Two will accommodate up to 8 bottling lines and seven ancillary lines for bag-inbox,<br />
key kegs and other types of sustainable packaging.<br />

array on the roof which will create around 2.9m Kilowatt hours of electricity per year. The state-of-the-art,<br />
recyclable roof and wall insulation will make Greencroft Bottling’s new home one of the most thermally<br />
efficient buildings in the UK.<br />
What’s good for business is good for the planet.<br />
