BAREFOOT SHIRAZ 75CL

‘New Zealand isn’t just famous for Sauvignon blanc! From the best known wine producer, here is a marvellously smooth, light, silky red, especially suited to those of you, who don’t like big, heavy, blockbuster wines! This one is gentle, velvety, and oh so delicious! It’s cool, smooth, and irresistible, brimming with aromas and flavours of raspberries, cherries, and fresh herbs; it’s full of vibrant, juicy red berry fruits, and soft warm spice – this is a great red to drink on its own, and it will match perfectly with seared duck breasts, roast chicken , gammon steaks, rich pates, and will also cope beautifully with spicy Indian and Thai beef and lamb dishes.’ Angela Mount Winner of International Wine Challenge Commended Medal 2011 Winner of Decanter Wold Wine Awards Bronze Medal 2011

The fifty-two hectare vineyards of Adegas Tollodouro are entirely planted with the Albariño grape variety. This is a relatively new producer, situated on some of the gentler, southwest facing slopes in Galicia. Their aim is to make clean and fragrant wines in their well equipped, modern 'ultima tecnologia' winery. Based in the western -most corner of Galicia, not far from the rugged Atlantic coastline, this grape and style are perfectly matched to the local dishes based around an unending array of Atlantic fish. This remote corner of Spain remains undiscovered by the hordes, but offers a wonderful, martime climate and temperate summer conditions, ideally suited to white wine production. Also grown in northern Portugal, this grape is known as the Alvarinho grape in Vinho Verde country.

Leaving behind careers in medicine and molecular biology, Doctors John and Brigid Forrest established Forrest Estate in Marlborough's stony Wairau River Valley in 1989. This cheery pair won a coup at their first vintage, scooping a trophy at NZ's national wine awards. This inviting Pinot Noir offers aromas of sweet, dried cranberries and warm earth, and a beautifully fresh palate of ripe red summer fruits. John Forrest drinks it with quail risotto.

Made in the village of Givry which was the preferred wine of Henry IV, maybe because this town in southern Burgundy's Côte Châlonnaise (a low ridge running from Beaune, recently granted its own appellation) was the birthplace of his mistress Gabrielle d'Estrées.
