Berry Bros & Rudd have done it again and come up with six fascinating wines at very generous prices. A couple are almost 25 per cent cheaper than on Berrys’ list and the mixed case is almost 20 per cent cheaper.

And it’s a quirky selection all right. Berrys might have one of the finest lists in the country when it comes to cru classé claret, grand cru burgundy and vintage champagne but, with an unparalleled eight Masters of Wine in the company, their expertise is much further-reaching than perhaps one might imagine, something which is demonstrated perfectly by the vino below.

First we have the 2013 De Martino Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (1) from the Casablanca Valley in Chile. De Martino owns almost 350 vineyards across the country and was deservedly named Chilean Winery of the Year in 2011. This example is full of cut grass, nettles, herbs and plenty of grapefruit.
