Margaux wines are particularly supple and refined. They are characterised by very elegant, fruity aromas, making them the benchmark for generous, sophisticated wines with soft ripe tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTERROIR:- The vineyard area of Margaux is essentially based on the Garonne 's layers, made up of gravel and pebbles from the quaternary period. This soil, well protected from the oceanic winds by the forest benefits from the bracing winds from the Gironde estuary which tempers the climate. The soil's poorness, the gravel's permeability and the slightly sloping hillsides that provide a good drainage allow the vines to be deep rooted, providing the ideal conditions for top quality wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWINEMAKING\/MATURING:- When fully mature, the grapes are for the most part, hand picked. In the cellar, the grapes are crushed and destemmed and then put into fermenters. The harvest is heated to around 22 °C to allow a quick start to the fermentation. Twice a day, pumping over with aeration takes place in order to extract as much colour and tannin as possible. When the alcoholic fermentation is over, the vats are maintained at a temperature around 30°C for 15 to 21 days. After the running off, the malolactic fermentation takes place in vats. A 6 to 8 months ageing in French oak barrels is done with racking every 4 weeks. The wines are fined and filtered on earth before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Colour\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_colour.gif?113\"\u003e 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_body.gif?113\" alt=\"Body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 13% Abv\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_grapes.gif?113\" alt=\"Grapes\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/sulphites_0ab734f9-50cc-46cc-a01a-27564467f9c2.jpg?113\" alt=\"Sulphites\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eContains Sulphites\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Sichel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19614912675928,"sku":"","price":28.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/Sichel_Margaux_2022.jpg?v=1758545651"},{"product_id":"armagnac-de-tenareze-12-y-o-domaine-de-cassagnoles","title":"50cl Armagnac de Tenareze 12yo Domaine de Cassagnoles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Armagnac, from its very name, has had more time to develop in the cask than the 5 year old.

The grapes are hand-picked into small boxes of approx. 20 kilos and brought to the winery where they undergo a careful selection process before being crushed. The vinification takes place in small stainless steel fermentation tanks. The grapes are fully destemmed and crushed. After 4 days of cold maceration the fermentation process follows under temperature-controlled conditions. The juice is gently pumped over the skins during fermentation which is long and even ensuring good aromatic and polyphenolic extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGEING: About 30% of this wine is aged for 12 months in both new and used French oak casks; the remaining part is kept in stainless steel vats to maintain its fruity character combined with the oak complexity from the wines in casks.

In 2019 Peter’s grandson Alexander Sichel took over the vineyard with the aim of producing exceptional wines that rewarded this vision, focusing on Biodiversity and sustainability as key elements in this quest. He re-named the property Domaine Peter Sichel in honour of his grandfather and the unique IGP Pays de Cucugnan was born. In the heart of a natural park and set against the backdrop of the Pyrenees, the vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate cooled by the altitude and Atlantic breezes. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Peter Sichel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56092153414016,"sku":null,"price":26.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/Roussanne_VV_Peter_Sichel_2023.jpg?v=1771517367"},{"product_id":"noe-30-year-old-pedro-ximenez-37-5cl","title":"Noe 30 year old Pedro Ximenez - 37.5cl - Gonzalez Byass","description":"\u003cp\u003eGonzalez Byass is synonymous with top-flight sherries and of course, its leading Fino 'brand', Tio Pepe.

The soil is mainly Albariza, a white soil which contains up to 605 chalk and therefore has a large capacity for maintaining moisture, very important given the long, hot and dry summers, as irrigation is prohibited. The microclimate is influenced by the surrounding Atlantic Ocean and rivers Guadalquivir and Gaudalete, with moist and warm prevailing winds and occasional hot, dry levante winds from north Africa.

The Pedro Ximenez grape, although white, is treated slightly differently as it is destined for sweet wines: the grapes are collected from the vine slightly later and are then sun dried in a process called 'soleo', where the bunches of grapes are laid out on esparto mats in the vineyard for up to two weeks. During this time, the grape loses about 40% of its volume due to evaporation, which in turn concentrates the fruit sugars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Due to their semi-dried state, the PX grapes undergo a strong press not dissimilar to olive oil production. The must then begins to ferment until it stops naturally at around 7% due to sugar stress. At this point the wine is fortified to 15% alcohol and added to the Noe solera. The wine remains in cask for an average of 30 years following the traditional Solera system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVEGAN-FRIENDLY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gonzalez Byass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56244704215424,"sku":null,"price":30.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/NoePX.jpg?v=1752675253"},{"product_id":"clos-la-coutale-cahors","title":"Clos la Coutale 2023, Cahors","description":"\u003cp\u003eA big, deeply coloured red with lots of fruit and well balanced tannins. 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot.

Possibly. It ripens beautifully and consistently here every vintage, which simply cannot be said of the Loire.

The divine aromatics that we love from this grape – that unmistakable burst of green capsicum when you cut through it with a sharp knife, those glorious ripe red fruit notes of wild raspberry and strawberry – they abound in Serbal Cabernet Franc without becoming overbearing.
