Wine Club 18 August

issue 18 August 2018

We’re clearing the decks and having a late summer sale — or rather our partner Mr Wheeler is. Fill your boots!

Mr W needs to make room for new vintages and new lines and is kindly offering Speccie readers exclusive first dibs on the following wines, each one of which I’ve tasted and each one of which I can heartily recommend, especially at these knockdown prices (my favourites marked * make up the mixed case). Anyway, enough waffling, I’ve got 18 wines to tell you about so I had best get cracking!

2014 Les Forts de Bories-Azeau Corbières Rouge (1) A full-on, spicy Languedoc red. Needs drinking up but is currently very moreish. £8 down from £9.50.

*2016 Pacifico Sur Pinot Noir Reserva (2) Nobody does entry-level Pinot as successfully as Chile and this is spot on. £8.50 down from £10.

2016 Pacifico Sur Chardonnay Reserva (3) From Chile’s Casablanca Valley, crammed with luscious ripe fruit.
