CASES OF WINE TO YOUR DOOR!
The Latitude cases were born out of lock down, when our customers trusted us to select some of our favourite wines for delivery when you couldn't visit the shop.
We've very much enjoyed building on the concept over the years, and so it gives us great pleasure to present to you our latest Christmas cases. These wine cases have been curated with good value in mind. These are a few of our favourites that we've enjoyed this year but rest assured these cases will match your seasonal dishes and the darkening Winter months.
WINTER WHITE CASE
Gunderloch Red Stone Riesling
Gunderloch are one of the Rheinhessen’s most respected producers, known for their complex Rieslings derived from the distinctive, red soils of Roter Hang with over 130 years of history on the estate. Fruit for the ‘Red Stone’ Riesling is sourced from a selection of vineyards across the Roter Hang (the red hillside) in the Upper Rheinhessen, including the renowned Rothenberg, Pettenthal and Hipping vineyards. This wine is light and fresh with delicate aromas of ripe citrus and yellow plums. On the palate, mouthwatering acidity is balanced by a touch of residual sugar and a mineral finish.
Wente Vineyards Morning Fog Chardonnay
Founded in 1883, Wente Vineyards is the oldest continuously operated, family-owned winery in America. 5th Generation winegrower Karl D. Wente has continued the familys legacy with the Wente clone by using it to produce four different styles of Chardonnay: Morning Fog Chardonnay, Single Vineyard Riva Ranch Chardonnay, Small Lot Erics Chardonnay and Nth Degree Chardonnay. This is Californias First Family of Chardonnay, today 80% of all California Chardonnay stems from the Wente clone. The Morning Fog Chardonnay bursts with aromatics of citrus and green apple complemented by hints of toasty oak and vanilla from barrel-aging. This wine is balanced by a lingering minerality and natural acidity to create a beautiful wine.
Sao Lourenco Bairrada Branco
Colinas de São Lourenço is Fladgates flagship property in this region, located in the small village of São Lourenço do Bairro. Reputed for more than a century for its sparkling wine heritage, Bairrada more recently has been acknowledged for the quality of its red and white still wines. Classical styles, using Portuguese varieties, intertwined with international styles, where French grape varieties are used stand alone or combined with indigenous varieties. Located in the heart of Bairrada’s limestone fault line, this is the perfect, dream terroir for vines. Bright golden-green. Pronounced aroma of grapefruit and lemon, accompanied by stone fruit such as peach and notes of wet stones. Medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and a persistent minerality that translates into a sapid and refreshing finish.
Hugel Gentil Alsace Blend
In 1639 the Hugel family settled in the picturesque little town of Riquewihr in Alsace, where they have remained ever since. Today Famille Hugel retains the character of a true family wine business and is currently managed by the 12th and 13th generations of the family. Produced exclusively from hand harvested grapes in predominantly clay and limestone vineyards, from a dozen of the most favoured localities in and around Riquewihr. Gentil "Hugel" allies the suave, spicy flavour of Gewurztraminer, the body of Pinot Gris, the finesse of Riesling, the grapiness of Muscat and the refreshing character of both Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner.
Bodegas Pisuerga Aguazul Rueda Organic Verdejo
Bodegas Pisuerga’s singular aim is to produce exquisite, classically styled Verdejo from organically certified vineyards in and around their winery in La Seca, at the very heart of Rueda. One of the region’s oldest wineries, they’re committed to the natural and social environment, striving to ensure the soils remain vital to produce the best possible grapes. A beautifully balanced and easy drinking Verdejo, with ripe lemon and delicate tropical fruit on both the nose and the palate. Harmonious, refreshing with a herbal twist of fennel on the finish.
Grande Courtade Alvarinho
Louis Fabre is head of the family estate, having taken the reins in 1991, and has pioneered the conversion to organic farming, becoming one of the first Languedoc winemakers to do so. Since 1991, Famille Fabre began converting to organic viticulture and today 100% of its vineyards are certified organic, producing concentrated, flavoursome wines with genuine provenance. Originally planted as an experiment to see if climate change had produced more favourable conditions for certain varieties. The result was a beautifully wine perfect for the summer months. Aromatic and reminiscent of fresh cut peaches, with a subtle varietal minerality and a lovely bright, breezy freshness.
