La Source - merlot cabernet sauvignon barrel-aged blend 2006 & 2007
This fine blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon offers dark fruit and spice on the nose followed by dark fruit and plum on the palate with notes of mocha in the finish. A concentrated wine that is promising to deliver good aging potential and complexity.
Wine Critics' Comments:
‘absolutely gorgeous’ Sandra Mooney, The Irish Times
'Lavish Autumn berry flavours with a nice touch of freshness. Beware, this is the sort of bottle that tends to empty itself. Good depth of flavour, a smooth texture and lingering coffee mocha finish add to the enjoyment." Mary Dowey, Wine Editor, The Gloss
'A luscious, toasty wine with a fine tannic frame, good dark currant tones and a fine evolving finish. This is a cuvée to watch.' Tomas Clancy, Wine Correspondent, Sunday Business Post

Saussignac Dessert Wine Seduction 2006: sold out
The saussignac botrytis dessert wine is truly a labour of love. The yield from a hectare of Saussignac is about 25% of the yield the same hectare would deliver of dry white. Unfortunately the price is never 4 times but fools like us continue to make it because it is truly exquisite. The grapes are hand-picked (sometimes individually) and deliver up a juice that is golden and heavenly. Once fermented a complex set of aromas develop…
Tasting Notes: Golden and unctuous. Honey, passion fruit and a hint of almond on the nose. Notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom. Apricot and passion fruit the palate with an intense, long finish. Our panel of tasters also wrote ‘Outstanding’ & ‘this is a €100 a bottle wine’.
Wine Critics' Comments:
"This is a superstar dessert wine that deserves to be on every Irish wine shop shelf beside the Sauternes and Tokaji. Clean, bright apricot and acacia honey tones with great smoothness, then a classical botrytis cut that is the antithesis of unctuous." Tomas Clancy, Wine Correspondent, Sunday Business Post

Methode Traditionelle Quality Sparkling Wine: sold out
A delicious biscuity sparkling wine made in the traditional method just like they do in champagne with low SO2 and a second fermentation in the bottle to create the bubbles.
Customer Comment: 'We enjoyed your sparkling so much over Christmas please put us down for a couple of cases on your next delivery. Everyone raved about our excellent "Champagne".' Tom Rourke
