Dinner Table Six-Pack Gift Box

A delightfully eclectic, six-bottle white and red selection that will prove a definitive cross-section of gratifying drinking pleasure.

The Wines:

2016 Château Poitevin, Cru Bourgeois Médoc
"This offers violets and some aged meat, as well as ripe purple fruit, leading to a palate that has a smooth and velvety feel and plenty of tannin crunch. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot."
90/100 points, James Suckling

2020 Stone's Throw Pinot Noir, Greenhough, Nelson
This organic pinot noir delivers ripe fruit at lower alcohol with just a little bit of oak to allow the pure fruit to shine. There is a feel of Burgundy about it, but with an extra layer of depth and concentration.

2018 Clos de Bartolomé, Priorat
"The 2018 Clos Bartolomé from Priorat, NE Spain, is succulent, spicy and warming with ripe, dark fruit and suits winter casseroles perfectly."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine

2021 Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine Des Fines Caillottes, Jean Pabiot et Fils
Pouilly-Fumé is an appellation with a similar terroir to Sancerre. So similar, in fact, that differentiating it from its overshadowing neighbour is often futile. However, not so with Jean Pabiot and his Domaine des Fines Caillottes. Here is a rich sauvignon with beguiling citrus fruit flavours and layers of sleek minerality from a terroir of chalk, stones and fossilised shells, all with that signature whiff of flintlock, confirming youre on Pabiots side of the Loire.  A very complete wine and quite a delicious one.

2023 Pouilly-Fuissé 'Vieilles Vignes', Domaine Gonon
This delightful Mâcon has all the hallmarks of good white Burgundy. The Chardonnay flavours are ripe and inviting; melon combined with more tropical fruits. The texture has a creaminess to it, and there is a delicate biscuity note from a good period of lees ageing. There is complexity and precision here making this a great all-rounder.

2021 Domain Road Pinot Gris, Central Otago
From the world's most Southerly wine producing region, Domain Road delivers an enchanting, honey and spice-tinged pinot gris made very much in an Alsatian mould. Luscious and rewarding.
