KEY ON-TRADE INSIGHTSWhat
• Overall, still wine volume has declined faster than value, reflecting the mixture of inflationary price pressure and consumer interest in premium wines.
• Sparkling wine growth continues to be very strong with value also growing ahead of volume.
• Interest in wine by the glass has grown significantly in recent years, particularly for small single serves and two large glasses – please see page 98 for Kingsland NEW Two Good range of 50cl.
• Italian wine is the fastest growing origin, driven by Prosecco. Outside of Italy, New Zealand and Argentina are best of the rest in terms of growth although they are still significantly smaller than France and Australia.

ARGENTINA
The Argentinian wine industry reaps the benefits of its heritage – old vines and unique geographical conditions – mixed with new technology and modern and traditional methods. Our focus is on Mendoza and its surrounding area, where you can see the vineyards extend from the foot of the Andes to a majestic 4,000 feet above sea level. These microclimates of Mendoza present ideal conditions for the finest winemaking grapes.

ARGENTINA DON APARO / FINCA VISTA
Don Aparo rode his bicycle 14km every day to his beloved vineyard in Mendoza. He put the vineyards to bed every night, and was often seen walking with his lantern through the vines on an evening. This story perfectly encapsulates the history, integrity and tradition that the winery is renowned for.
“Finca Vista” translates to “Estate View”. The grapes for this wine have been carefully selected from three high quality vineyards in the Mendoza region; Lujan, Maipu and Junin. The vineyards are all over 40 years old and are situated at high altitude, close to the Andes Mountain range. The three vineyards are situated between 700 to 1,100 metres above sea level, from where the view is simply stunning.

AUSTRALIA BEYOND THE RIVER / STONEY VALE
Hailing from South Eastern Australia, Stoney Vale is the block out the back of a vineyard where a creek used to flow. The ‘old timers’ reckon that some of the best grapes come from here as the vines have to struggle just a little bit more. It’s also where the vineyard workers take their breaks under the shade of a tall gum tree and in the heat of the day there is not much movement except the odd lizard scuttling across the rocks. We call this wine Stoney Vale in recognition of this special place – in the sun drenched land we love!

Grape varieties: Malbec

Frankland River is one of the coldest and most isolated wine producing regions in Australia and as such, vintage takes place later than in other Australian producing regions, with grapes harvested as late as May. Many factors combine to differentiate Frankland River from other producing regions of Australia, including ancient, low fertile soils which make vines work harder, increasing quality rather than quantity and extremely cool ripening periods allowing grapes to ripen more slowly, delivering natural acidity and stronger varietal characters.

Full of fascination and intrigue, Chile is a pure joy. The variety on offer from Kingsland is substantial and diverse including wines with a wide range of aromas, flavours and textures. From the cooler coastal areas and high altitude vineyards the aromatic whites and delicate reds reign supreme, whereas the Central Valley offers fuller styles of whites and more intense reds. Vinification methods are designed to enhance the typical characteristics of each variety.

CHILE TIERRA DEL REY
In 1554, whilst struggling to remain heir to the Spanish throne, Philip II of Spain married Queen Mary I of England. In order to give him equal rank with the Queen, he was renamed Tierra del Rey, ‘King of Chile’ by his father and thus became Chile’s only King.
The Central Valley is set in between the majestic Andes Mountains and the mighty Pacific Ocean, making it an ideal location for growing grapes. The mountains protect the wine region by creating dry, hot climatic conditions and the cold ocean breezes keep the vines cool. This combination produces full flavoured wines whilst maintaining that all important acidity essential to make perfectly-balanced wines.

The company’s founder, Thomas Barton, left his native Ireland at the beginning of the 18th century and emigrated to Bordeaux when he was just 30 years old.
As a true adventurer, he founded his wine-shipping company in 1725. Very quickly, his efforts brought an unbelievable level of prosperity and by 1747, Thomas Barton was considered Bordeaux’s number one shipper and his loyal clients nicknamed him “French Tom”.
He was the first shipper to have his own wine estates. In 1802 Hugh Barton, his grandson and successor, teamed up with Daniel Guestier, a French trader, to create Barton & Guestier which is today the oldest wine merchant established in Bordeaux.

FRANCE ALLIANCE LOIRE
Vines belonging to Alliance Loire’s co-operative in Touraine, Les Vignerons de Coteaux de Romanais, stretch on both sides of the Cher river. The Sauvignon Blanc produced in this appellation is famous for its elegance and aromatic complexity. Opposite Touraine to the North of the Loire River lies Alliance Loire’s Cave de Vouvray who are masters in the art of making several types of fine wine from the Chenin Blanc variety. We’ve chosen Demi-sec Vouvray as a balanced alternative to the many dry wines the Loire has to offer.
This sparkling wine is made using the traditional method where secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle (as in the Champagne region) and it is aged carefully in famous tufa chalk cellars carved into the rock to enhance both its freshness and finesse. The grapes for our "De Chanceny" cuvée come from selected clay-limestone, tufa chalk, and shale terroirs to the south of the Saumur area.

The vines are surrounded by several dozen hectares of woods offering an exceptional micro-climate. The soil, which is made up of chalky white rocks gives the wine its individual character.

Sablet village itself is situated on the northern fringes of the Gigondas area so the terroir has similar limestone content in the soil alongside clay.
This soil mixed with these river stones constitutes an outstanding terroir for Grenache and Syrah vines that produce a rich, generous, characterful wine.

ITALY BORGO MOLINO
The Italians enjoy Prosecco as a wine for every occasion and it has benefitted from a surge in popularity over the past few years in this country. However, we still see it more as a celebratory fizz and there is good reason to pop the cork! It seems to have struck the right balance – giving a sense of festivity at an affordable price. It also offers an alternative for those looking for a change to the biscuity, yeasty Champagne style. Prosecco produced in Treviso is bright, youthful and light-bodied, the emphasis on fresh primary fruits and a soft finish.

ITALY SENSI
Tuscany’s climate is generally Mediterranean, with the further eastern regions having continental influences from the Apennine mountain range. Italy has a turbulent geological history with a mix of many soil types, including albarese (sandstone) and galestro (chalky-marl). Even within relatively short distances in a particular vineyard the soil types can alter enormously, and good vineyard management is particularly important for consistent wines to be produced. Chianti lies towards the heart of this region and remains central to Tuscan viniculture.

Here, wines with very different characteristics are produced, something that is only possible due to the diversity of land forms and microclimates concentrated in small areas of the region.

AUSTRALIA LIMESTONE COAST WINES
When it comes to grapes; geography, geology and climate are crucial to producing the quality and complexity needed for outstanding wines. The alluvial soil of the Limestone Coast sits atop 26-million-year-old limestone caverns providing excellent drainage. This ancient geological formation delivers an abundance of the purest quality water which brings life and sustenance to this remote and bountiful region.
Limestone Coast Wines source grapes from the six flagship regions of the Limestone Coast. From the cool climate emerging regions of Mount Gambier, producing restraint and elegance, to the maritime air of Robe and Mount Benson whose fruit bursts from the glass. The contrast continues in the classic region of Padthaway, the dense, Terra Rossa soil of the Coonawarra, where richness reigns, and the sun baked flavours of Wrattonbully, with its bold intense flavours. The Hidden Sea combines these unique combinations of elements producing distinctive contemporary wines which exceed expectations on quality.
