The Wines

We've hand selected 10 exemplary wines that represent a broad spectrum of wine styles and regions.

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. Extra Brut Rive di Refrontolo

Santa Margherita

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. Extra Brut Rive di Refrontolo

Refrontolo is in the heart of the finest Prosecco country, where some of the steepest hills in Italy create the most flavorful Glera grapes. The grapes love it here high above sea level, where they benefit from warm days, cool nights, and better drainage. These wondrous Glera grapes are meticulously hand-harvested, assuring only the finest grapes are used. It’s a tedious process on steep terrain, but when you taste the result, you’ll feel as we do — it’s worth it.

Special Cuvée

Maison Bollinger

Special Cuvée

The name of Bollinger’s emblematic champagne, with its English spelling, encapsulates its entire history. It was the British agent of Georges Bollinger who, in 1911, christened it “Special Cuvée”, as he found the expression “non-vintage brut” did not befit a champagne of such subtlety. Over a century later, the name of the champagne emblematic of Bollinger’s expertise still encapsulates its entire history.

Dry Riesling

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery

Dry Riesling

Our classic dry style of Riesling made from vines dating back to 1958 from both our estate vineyard sites.

NUSSBAUMER Gewürztraminer

Cantina Tramin

NUSSBAUMER Gewürztraminer

Nussbaumer is Italy’s most awarded Gewürztraminer. A wine where the elegance and spicy aromatics of this ancient variety find their maximum expression.

El Pacto del Alto Najerilla

Viñedos El Pacto

El Pacto del Alto Najerilla

The new local white wine from Viñedos el Pacto originates from the Alto Najerilla, the birthplace of the project's founders. Cárdenas and Nájera, home to the historic vineyards from where this wine comes, reflect its altitude and freshness.

Bourgogne Rouge

Domaine Sylvain Pataille

Bourgogne Rouge

Wine of incredible balance, seamless textures, and clearly defined minerality that can only come from the one the greats of Burgundy.

LaReale

Lamole di Lamole

LaReale

This Riserva has merited a name that is intended to celebrate its character: honest and straightforward, yet regal at the same time.

Esprit de Tablas

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Esprit de Tablas

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Tablas is our flagship red blend, chosen from the best lots of four estate-grown varietals propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. The wine is based on the dark red fruit, earth, spice and mid-palate richness of Mourvèdre, with additions of Grenache for forward fruit, approachability and lushness, Syrah for mineral, aromatics, and back-palate tannins, and Counoise for brambly spice and acidity. Two new grapes (the dark, herby Vaccarese and the juicy, spicy Cinsaut) make their first-ever appearance in Esprit and round out the blend.

Château Coutet Grand Vin

Château Coutet

Château Coutet Grand Vin

Château Coutet, a Classified First Growth, is a flagship of the Barsac appellation. After a few years in the bottle, it develops spice and tropical and candied fruit notes, in delicate harmony.

20 Year Old Tawny Port

W. & J. Graham’s

20 Year Old Tawny Port

Time-honoured skills, craftsmanship and dedication are handed down from generation to generation at Graham’s in the form of three unique arts – the art of blending, the art of cooperage and the art of ageing – to produce an extraordinary selection of Tawny Ports. The perfect balance: Graham’s 20 Year Old is the Master Blender’s quest for perfection, capturing the perfect balance between young and aged Port wines. A Port wine perfected for more than twenty year, to delight those in the quest for excellence.
