This week we are going for one of my favourites, Wakefield Estate Shiraz. 

The Wakefield Estate (which is also known as Taylors in Austalia) extends to just under 750 ha, with roughly 415 ha under vine. It is found in the Clare Valley in the South of Australia. The Clare Valley produces some of Australia's top Shiraz and Riesling thanks to hot summers days followed by cool nights. This allows the vine to rest overnight and make sure the fruit is not 'overcooked'.

This award winning wine shows classic aromas of stewed plum, blackberry, blackberry and violets. The palate doesn't fail to deliver offering ripe blackcurrant and vanilla.

Extremely enjoyable either on its own or with barbecued meats.

Contesa Pecorino 2012 Colline Pescaresi

Did you know that as well as being a sheep's cheese, Percorino is also a grape variety? It is a grape variety that is native to Italy, specifically in the region of Abruzzo, and is thin skinned, prompting early ripening. The bunches tend to grow in a triangle shape, similar to the shape of a sheep's head, which explains why the picture of a sheep on the label.

The wine itself spends a small amount of time in oak barrels, giving the nose a slight orange aroma, as well as plenty of citrus fruits. On the palate, the citrus fruits are accompanied by steely minerality and a slight peachy character.

The soft and clean style of this wine makes it a great choice to partner any soft cheeses or salmon fillets wrapped in filo pastry.

Gavi La Toledana

Gavi is a small region within the Piedmont region in North-West Italy, which as has fantastic reputation for producing excellent white wines similar in style to Chablis.

This wine is made from grapes harvested later than usual. The nose has an array of flavours, including peach, apricot and honey. The rich palate delivers flavours of peach and apricot with a slight hint of citrus fruit. These flavours are well balanced by the slight minerality and honeyed finish.

This is a great wine to go with any white fish dish. I recommend poached salmon salad.

LaCroix 2007 Bordeaux Superieur

This wine is brand new to Majestic and is a limited parcel sourced from Jonathan Maltus, an English winemaker, with many vineyards in Bordeaux. The grapes for this wine were hand picked from vineyards primarily on St-Emilion Grand Cru sites.

As this wine is from the right bank of Bordeaux, it is mainly Merlot dominated, with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc added. On the nose there is plenty of black fruit, such as blackberries and blackcurrants, as well as a slight hint of cedar, gained from the 9 months the wine spends maturing in oak barrels. The juicy black fruits continue onto the palate accompanied by soft tannins and a slight peppery spice.

A great wine to go with a cheese board or with red meat dishes.
