FINE WINES HAND-PICKED BY METROVINO’S EXPERTS.
Rosé
Domaine des Anges Ventoux Rosé 57
Rhône, France
Grapes: Grenache and Cinsault
Mont Ventoux is a mountain in the Provence region of Southern France. Delicate yet tasty dry rosé in the style that is so much in fashion right now.
White
Juste le Blanc Jurançon Sec 66
SW France
Grape: Gros Manseng
Obscure region, obscure grape and a freaking delicious dry white! Sometimes thatís all you need to know. Citrus-y, dry, with more body than a Sauvignon Blanc.
Meierer Riesling Trocken 69
Mosel, Germany
Grape: Riesling
Fully dry, brightly fresh. Again, an eye-opener for people who are deluded into thinking that all Riesling is sweet. Trocken = DRY!
Borie de Maurel Chardonnay “Gypse” 75
Languedoc, France
Grape: Chardonnay
Un-oaked, Chablis-style- for those who hate Chardonnay this is a game-changer!
Red
Domaine de la Haute Olive Chinon Rouge 63
Loire Valley, France
Grape: Cabernet Franc
Feels like a Pinot Noir (light body, soft tannins) but very Cabernet flavours. Juicy acidity makes this a quite sippable red.
Domaine des Anges Ventoux Rouge
“Tom & The Peloton” 64
Rhône, France
Grapes: Grenache & Syrah
Southern Rhône bouncy red. Cyclists: pay attention to the back label and meet the warm, round satisfaction of a classic Mediterranean blend.
Bodegas Cerron Monastrell “Remordimiento” 67
Jumilla, Spain
Grape: Monastrell
Mourvèdre is another name for this grape, This expression is in a very friendly big-but-gentle style.
Ioppa Nebbiolo Colline Novaresi 75
NW Italy
Grape: Nebbiolo
A VERY friendly example of a grape that can often be a bit rugged. This is a great value alternative to the famous Barolo wines, also from NW Italy and made of this same grape.
