Wonderfully fresh Marlborough Sauvignon made by one of the regions pioneers, Jane Hunter. Great intensity with mouth-filling flavours.

An excellent Chablis with lemon and mineral characters and an elegant finish of white flowers.

10. Sancerre Blanc, Christian Salmon 2009
Loire, France
Clean, pure and dry with a gooseberry and citrus infused nose. The palate is lively and packed with elderberry and grapefruit.

Crisp Provençal style, pale in colour and extremely refreshing. Made from a single estate in the south of France which is world famous for rosé.

A juicy Merlot combining the new world styled red fruits and chocolate. Santa Rita are one of the most historic and well regarded houses in Chile and reside in Wine Enthusiast’s all-time Hall of Fame.

14. Côtes-du-Rhône St Esprit, Delas 2009
Rhone, France
With Syrah to the fore, this is full of berry fruit, violet, liquorice, and spices. It has a generous, rounded palate and a long, elegant finish.

15. Finca Decero, Malbec 2009
Mendoza, Argentina
This is a tremendous wine with a great balance between fruit and savoury. There are intense violet aromas with the purity of raspberry and red fruit flavours, with a kick of white pepper.

16. Paternina Crianza 2006
Rioja, Spain
When abroad the best advice is usually to drink what the locals drink. Luckily this is Spain’s favourite Crianza,, full of Rioja charm. Cherry and vanilla, with indulgent mocha notes.

17. Shiraz Viogner, Yalumba 2009
Eden Valley, Australia
Yalumba make wines of finesse in the heat of South Australia. A small percentage of the white grape Viogner softens the opulent spicy Shiraz and augments it with heady aromatics.

18. Château Montaiguillon, Montagne St Emilion 2007
Bordeaux, France
A top property in this renowned region on Bordeaux’s softer right bank. Merlot based with great depth and complexity. A long standing favourite at the Drovers.

19. Corbec, Masi
Tupungato, Argentina
Masi are better known in the Veneto than the lofty ranges of Argentina. With this wine they have taken an ancient Italian technique of drying grapes and adapted it for Argentinian grapes. 70% Corvina and the remainder Malbec, dried in the same process used to make Amarone, result in a wine with cherry, cocoa and vanilla. Great structure and length, made to tackle a hunk of beef perfectly!

20. Beaune 1er Cru 'Cent Vignes', Domaine Jessiaume 2005
Burgundy, France
A Scottish owned Domaine making beautiful perfumed wines. This Beaune has good weight for Pinot Noir, showing the ripeness of the excellent 2005 vintage.

21. Chateauneuf du Pape, Beaurenard 2007
Rhone Valley, France
A classic of the genre using all 13 grape varieties this wine is produced by a traditional family who have been making wine here for seven generations. A summers woodland, berries, oak and aromatic herbs.

22. Chateau Leoville Barton 2006, 2nd Growth
St Julien, France
Referred to as one of the ‘super-seconds’ representing great value and of similar quality to the first growths. This vintage is dense and concentrated: dark cherry and blackcurrant.

23. Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2002, 2nd Growth
Pauillac, France
A masculine style of wine with a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. Drinking well now but still full of vigour.

Sweet Wine

24. Muscat de Beaumes de Venise 'La Pastourelle', Delas 2009
France
A lovely vin doux naturelle which has floral notes of peach, grapes and candied citrus. A refreshing acidity to match the sweetness.

Port & Brandy

25. Cockburns Special Reserve Port

26. Graham’s Vintage Port 2000

27. Chateau de Laubade Bas Armagnac XO
For three generations the Lesgourgues family have been distilling and aging some of the region’s most venerable and highly awarded brandy. They even let hundreds of ewes loose amongst the vines in October for 6 months to help fertilise the vines in a sustainable fashion! The spirit is full of character with spice, orange zest and caramel amongst other flavours.
