Adventurers' Case

Mavrud is a grape native to Bulgaria which produces full-bodied reds and this is a prime example, with fresh and juicy black-cherry, blackcurrant and truffle notes, backed up with a savoury hint of pepper. Perfect for hearty food.

Fresh, fragrant moschofilero brimming with lime-zest, stone-fruit and rosehip aromas, with zingy acidity and an underlying spice on the palate. A real taste of Greece that transcends its price tag.

Made from the aglianico grape, which, grown on these volcanic southern slopes, develops a perfumed nose of fig and black-cherry fruit, black pepper, tobacco and violets. A lovely medium-bodied wine with firm tannins and a long finish.

There is excellent value to be found in Moldova. This is a fragrant, crisp dry white offering a lot of charm and generosity. It is made from the feteascǎ regalǎ grape, which is seldom seen outside this part of the world.

Made from organically cultivated grapes on a beautiful hillside vineyard overlooking the sea in the toe of Italy, this is a delightful peach, lemon and oyster-shell-scented, crisp dry white.

Kékfrankos is Hungary's finest red grape and this is a pure and lightly oaked example from Feind winery on the shores of Lake Balaton. Cherries, strawberries and a light cedar spice characterise this light, juicy red wine best served lightly chilled.
