Jaboulet Ermitage Blanc

$94.99

Made entirely from Roussanne, this legendary vineyard has built its reputation on a single hill that it shares with Syrah plantings for the red Ermitage. Sheltered from northerly winds, this south-facing site receives good exposure to the sun while enjoying a Mediterranean climate. Roussanne is named after its ripe skin colour, a reddish-gold pigment that equates to the French word Roux (red-brown). The variety is thought to have originated in the northern Rhône Valley, where the majority of modern-day plantings are found because it benefits from the warm temperatures and long sunlight hours it needs to achieve full maturity.

Meerendal Heritage Block Pinotage Old

$69.99

Meerendal Wine Estate is a family-owned vineyard situated in the Western Cape of South Africa, only 20 minutes from Cape Town. This historic estate dates back to 1702, but the wine journey for the current owners, the Coertze family, began in 2004 when they invested in Meerendal and became part of its prestigious history. Heritage Block Pinotage has a very deep, almost opaque purple colour. Spicy red and black fruit aromas are supported by strong bramble-type characters on the initial nose. Prune, plum and ripe dark cherry follow with a backing of rich fruit cake, spice and sweet vanilla. There's a big, full, and well-rounded mouth-feel with a satiny texture that flows across the palate, with ripe, supple tannins underneath. It's already showing good complexity, but has lots more development to come. Very attractive now, but will repay some patient bottle maturation over the next half dozen years. If Meerendal history is anything to go by, this wine should continue to develop for easily 12 to 15 years.

From The Producer

“The best mix between Australia and France. Australian ingredients with a pale malted barley mix from Victoria, original ageing in Barossa red wine barrels then shipped to France for a finish in Ratafia Champenois barrels. The fiery side of the red wine ageing couple with the sweetness and creaminess brought by the Ratafia Champenois touch…”

Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition produced exclusively from grapes grown on hillsides. Since 1630, their family has believed in the extraordinary potential of local wine production, enhancing its value in a modern key with innovative production and environmental management methods with the end result of creating wines that are able to evoke emotion and render homage to the magnificent land Amarone is a style of red wine made in the Veneto region of Northern Italy and is one of Italy's most famous wines. Grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September, beginning of October, and are placed on plastic trays for drying. This process lasts until January and renders the once plump juicy grape to a raisin. The result is a wine of great flavour and style. This is a great wine at a great price; it has notes of vanilla and ethereal aromas of sweet currants, blueberries and cherries. Enjoy with braised red meats and cheese and a hearty peasant-style loaf of bread. A Kensington Wine Market exclusive!

Sommerach Silvaner Trocken

$29.99

The winemakers of Winzer Sommerach have had one credo which they have abided by since the winery was established in 1901: Unity is strength. At the beginning of the 20th century, 35 families, all steeped in viticulture for generations, came together out of economic necessity and founded Winzer Sommerach.  Since then, a common vision has determined the path of these wine-growing families. Today they pay tribute to all the families out of respect, who, despite an uncertain future, have established the oldest wine cooperative in Franken. An imposing northward-facing stone gable from the old days continues to characterize the old town, reminding the winemakers of their roots, which informs their actions today. The winemakers of Winzer Sommerach are steeped in tradition, but at the same time, they are open-minded and innovative. The past is linked to the future at this winery. Fast-moving trends are passed over in favor of sustainable methods. Even if “genuine craftsmanship” sounds like a concept from the distant past, it perfectly describes the approach of the 90 winemaking families to their work, and is a guarantee of lasting success. This philosophy has passed from generation to generation, with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, driving ambition to be among the best in the industry, and lastly, love of the work. This dedication to the art of winemaking is what makes the estate of Winzer Sommerach truly unique. The skill of the winemaker in conjunction with the terroir are responsible for the quality of a wine, and the winemakers are very grateful to be able to continue the work of their founding fathers with great potential for the future.
