“The Bordeaux 2014 vintage is ‘one to watch’, says Steven Spurrier”(Decanter magazine) and here you have three fine examples to prove it. Get out your finest glasses for the impressively concentrated Château Haut Redon, and savour the velvety richness of Château Platon: “I love the smell of this – smoky wood and dark fruit…” (Will Lyons, Sunday Times). The final in the trio of fine ‘14s is the lush Château Gromel Bel Air from a 150-year-old estate on Bordeaux’s

Right Bank, very close to Pomerol.

Saint-Émilion aficionados can revel in the luxury of a hard-to-get-hold of 2012 Gold-medal Puisseguin Saint-Émilion from a top estate – it’s divine. And Médoc lovers have two fine wines to savour, the two-time Gold-medal, gently barrel-aged, succulent Château Les Trois Manoirs 2011 and the minerally, black-fruited Château Ramage La Batisse – a luscious 8-year-old Gold-medal Haut-Médoc that really impresses. Indeed, Château Ramage has a top fan in Robert Parker “Impressive track record for quality for close to 30 years” and is sure to win your heart (and palate) too.

Remember, every one of these fine wines has a Gold medal - If you’re a lover of fine Bordeaux, this is an offer you simply don’t want to miss. Stocks are extremely limited, so place your order now.

Cabernet is king in Bordeaux - and "Bordeaux is the king of red wine"

Prosecco Summer CelebrationItaly’s sparkling treasure, packed with flavour and style

Prosecco is the bubbly of choice across Italy, and the rest of the world can’t get enough of it either. This is the joyful, uplifting style Italians choose for celebrating, and here you’ll experience everything that’s wonderful about this delicious sparkling!

“Prosecco caresses the palate in a way unmatched by other sparkling wines" (Decanter). They don't make them any finer than twice Gold-medal winning Ca' Bolani. Made with the finest Friuli fruit, oozing northern Italian chic, it's gentle, aromatic and slips down a treat.

A Prosecco your guests will love is the elegant, eye-catching Fili made by the Sacchetto family who have won a legion of fans with their stylish sparkling wines. It’s fresh and effervescent with juicy tropical and orchard fruit flavours – a delicious treat. Lastly, there’s the lovely MonteCampo Prosecco NV, elegant and refreshing, with a mouthwatering citrusy zip.

Prosecco offers all the charm and sophistication of Champagne, yet softer, fruity flavours, and is just a bit more fun! Take a sip and be transported to a beautiful Italian piazza… ‘Cin cin!’

Celebrate Summer, Italian style, with the subtle charms of Prosecco.Italy’s mountainous Friuli region produces some of Italy’s finest whites, including the TWICE Gold medal winning Ca’ Bolani in your Prosecco case.

Vieux Château Palon 2010, Montagne Saint-Emilion AOC, FranceA real treat for claret fans here. Vieux Chateau Palon is tucked away in Saint-Émilion’s Montagne district. It produces some stunning and underrated wines, which Bordeaux aficionados delight in discovering. Robert Parker has praised this estate’s ‘elegant, pure wine’. We love its intense dark fruit and smooth, harmonious, voluptuous finish.

Domaine Buffet 2011,Volnay AOC, FranceThe Buffet family first began growing grapes in 1692, making their domaine one of the oldest in Burgundy’s Côte-de-Beaune. Volnay is the star appellation of this area, fabled for its sensationally silky, supple Pinot Noirs – and their elegant, fragrant, rose petal red is truly sublime. A handsome partner for roast duck, twice-cooked pork or a wild mushroom risotto.

Scarpantoni Estate Reserve Cabernet Shiraz 2009, McLaren Vale,South AustraliaMichael and Fil Scarpantoni only produce tiny quantities from their small cellar in the premium McLaren Vale, ensuring the highest quality control. The result is over 300 awards in competitions, some top Parker ratings and a cult-like following for their wines. The Reserve red is intensely rich and powerful, full of mouthcoating chocolatey fruit.

Dunleavy Waiheke Island Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2011, Waiheke Island, New ZealandA rare and elegant beauty from the boutique Te Motu estate on New Zealand’s Waiheke Island, just a short ferry ride from Auckland. Elegant and complex, this lovely, layered red shows vibrant flavours of rich cassis and mint, with a hint of cedary oak and spice. It’s a sublime expression of NZ Cabernet Merlot, and a beautiful match to rare roast lamb.

Paolo Manzone Fiorenza 2011, Barolo DOCG, ItalyIf you love the fine fruit and high-toned elegance of Italian reds, then you must add this handcrafted intensely flavoured Barolo to your cellar. It comes from Paolo Manzone’s high-altitude Piedmont vineyards. A bright-fruited, silky red, it has classic Barolo notes of cherry and violets with a hint of tar on a long, long finish. An ageworthy wine you’re sure to love.

Viña Tondonia Reserva 2003, Rioja DOCa, SpainIf you enjoy the sublime complexity of traditional Rioja, you have it all in this magnificent Reserva from López de Heredia, the third oldest bodega in the region. The estate is a bastion of tradition and their wines are unashamedly, lushly, richly decadent. “Full body, round and ripe, textured tannins. Intense and powerful fruit. Layered. Powerful style” (James Suckling).
