With just under two weeks until our portfolio tasting, being held st London Paddington Stn Novotel, here is a little snap shot of what’s on offer. If your a wine trade professional you really don’t want to miss out.
First up is the lovely #Champagne from De St Gall. They only make 1er and Grand Cru wines, and with ownership of over 900 ha within the region they are the go to Champagne producer.
Moving to #Wales we have @montgomery_vy and their fabulous range of still and sparkling wines. Their wines are so popular that the demand is out stripping supply. With larger vineyards on the way this is a must have U.K. made product for the very best wine merchants.
Next the Loire Valley where we have a host of wineries for you. Sancerre, Jasnieres, Muscadet, Fieff Vendeens, Coteaux de Giennois & Valencay. Despite the very small crop of 2021 we have secured stocks from all these regions due to our long standing partnerships with our growers.
Now we take you to Provence. Chateau Maime is a small family owned property in the heart of the Var. The wines are very typical for the region and of course it’s all about the Rose. However we have their White and Red too!
Now we turn our attention to Burgundy and the widest selection of wines at our portfolio event. With 40 wines to try once again we are lucky to have very strong partnerships in the region despite the shortage from the 2021 vintage.
Now the other classic region of France & we are Bordeaux bound. Being half Bordelaise myself I will always have a soft spot for the wines. Moreover it’s the home our oldest & fondest agency. That is of course @chateaufilhot. We do of course have a broad range in all styles.
Next up and probably our most well known agency it is of course our Languedoc range. It’s needs little introduction but this year all the wines will either be new creations or new vintages. With 27 wines to try its going to be quite a discovery for some!
No tour of France would be complete without a quick dash to the Rhône Valley. Northern or Southern Rhône we have both!
Final stop in France is our diverse range of wines from the South West. We have added some outstanding wines to this part of our range over the past year and this tasting will be there first outing! Moreover organics come into its own here!
We now head northeast to are friends in Austria and Germany. The lighter style wines from these two countries are proving to be extremely popular with all our customers. From Gruner to St Laurent we have a broad selection on tasting. Take the time to discover the amazing wines.
Now back south to my second favourite part of the world and that’s Spain and Portugal. We have two completely new agencies here and more is in the pipeline. Our old favs from Priorat and Rioja will of course be present but we also have some newbies too! Hola nos vinos!
Time to leave Europe & go further afield now. Over the past 5 years we have developed a strong but small range of wines from North America. All sensible on price but offering exceptional quality. From Canada, New York State and California we have five properties that stand out.
Finally in our epic journey around the world in 200 wines we have South Africa and Australia. All three ranges offer something interesting and a break from the run of the mill wines you would expect.
I really hope you all find the time to come along. 211 wines from 11 countries with 20+ suppliers flying in especially to meet the U.K. market. See you on the 22 March!
That just leaves to say enjoy the sights of Stellenbosch with this little video I took a few years ago.
