(INDIAN) SUMMER WINE OFFER - RANKINE FINE WINES

As we enjoy perhaps the last of any decent warmth this week, please find below an offer on parcels of delicious roses, white and Champagnes.

***10% discount for orders of 3 or more cases (36 bottles)***

With kind regards,

Stuart

Mulderbosch Rosé 2010, Stellenbosch, South Africa // £107.88 per case of 12 inc VAT

Cabernet Sauvignon based, everyday rose. Lovely red berry fruit and crisp, dry finish. My best rose wine to date.

Sauvignon de Touraine Cuvee Prestige, Paul Buisse // £95.88 per case of 12 inc VAT

Crisp and clean style Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in Northern France. A perfect Summer wine.

Fryers Cove Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Bamboes Bay // £138.00 per case of 12 inc VAT

One of the Cape's best kept secrets. Made on the Atlantic coast. A cool climate, steely style with white asparagus and grassiness. Persistent length. Stunning Sauvignon and one of my all-time favourites.

Noble Hill Viognier 2009, Paarl // £156.00 per case of 12 inc VAT

Full-bodied with peachy, nutty varietal aromatics and flavours. Good balance, freshness and a long finish.

Muratie Isabella Chardonnay 2009, Stellenbosch // £74.94 per six inc. VAT

In many ways this is the estate’s piece de resistance. An elegant, Burgundy style with good integration of creamy French oak. (7 months in 30% new barrels.) A combination of tropical and citrus fruit with balancing acidity. 13% Drink now and over the next 2-3 years.

Chablis 1èr Cru Fourchaume 2009 Domaine Pascal Bouchard // £216.00 per case of 12 inc. VAT

Nutty nose with fine minerality on the palate - the perfect stepping-stone between a very good Bourgogne Chardonnay and the village wines of Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Sparkling and Champagne:

Prosecco di Valdobbiadene NV, Trevisiol // £132.00 per case of 12 inc. VAT per case of 12

“The good thing about being a Prosecco snob, or aficionado if you prefer, is that the decent wines don't cost much more than the poor ones...drier, citrus-like Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, Trevisiol.. which (is) very quaffable.” Tim Atkin MW, The Observer

Champagne Beaumont des Crayeres NV // £264.00 per case of 12 inc VAT

“Lovely, golden color and an attractive, rich and biscuity nose. An award-winning Champagne with fine bubbles and an excellent concentrated flavor on the palate.” 91 points. The Wine Spectator

Champagne Pol Roger NV // £345.00 per case of 12 inc VAT

The blend the usual one-third each of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier, and the dosage 10 g/l. A very pale hue in the glass, fresh and crisp and feminine in style, followed by a rather rich and fleshy style on the palate. Quite accessible at present, more so than expected from that crispy-fruit nose, with a broad and fresh presence of fruit here, highlighted by a beautiful floral character. Very fine.
