La Fonte d'Oro 2017 - Simon's Wine of the Month
Puglia, Italy 14% abv
£12.99

A smooth, concentrated red, packed with black fruit flavour thanks to some brilliantly creative winemaking. After two weeks' drying time, the grapes are pressed, extracting a rich, flavour-packed juice. Six months in oak adds toasty layers of vanilla and spice. Decant and serve with tender lamb shanks or beef stew.

 

Bird in Hand Syrah 2017
Adelaide Hills, Australia 14% abv
£18.99

Voted best Australian red wine at the International Wine Challenge. Bird in Hand Syrah is a medium bodied, elegant and structured wine with soft, gentle tannins balanced with enough fruit weight to drive a long finish.  The aromatics are lifted and perfumed, with sweet florals, blackberry and a hint of pepper complemented by a touch of intriguing charry smoke.

                                                                                              

Bird in Hand Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Adelaide Hills, Australia 12.5% abv
£14.99

From the lush and leafy Adelaide Hills comes some of Australia's most elegant cool climate Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Racy, fresh and punchy, with aromatic and varietal notes of passionfruit, fresh pineapple and grapefruit.  A premium quality Sauvignon Blanc by Bird in Hand, full of flavour, with a slightly textured mid-palate that finishes dry, with subtle citrus acidity.

 

Two in the Bush Chardonnay 2017
Adelaide Hills, Australia 13% abv
£12.99

This Bird In the Hand is definitely worth two in the bush as the saying goes. But honestly, this Adelaide Hills Chardonnay consistently over-delivers and makes us marvel at how they do it. It's lightly oaked in old French barrels, and mixes up pure stone fruit with complexed nutty oak before a creamy palate of peach that's textured and long.
