Exhibition Mixed Case

With deep red colour, sweet spicy oak and berry fruit on the nose, and creamy texture on the palate, this is a richer style of claret, in keeping with the warmth of the 2018 vintage. Decant 30 minutes before drinking for the flavours to unfurl.

Pretty white Burgundy. Lovely balance coming from the cool village of Saint-Aubin in a warm year. Ripe yet fresh.

Elegant, mineral, citrusy and crisp sauvignon which is a nod in style to the classic sauvignons of France, rather than the more opulent Marlborough stereotype. This is pretty on the nose, with crisp apple and elderflower notes. The palate is focused and refreshing, with bright lemon and gooseberry.

Margaret River is home to some of the world's finest cabernet sauvignon so it's been a pleasure to work with Vasse Felix, the founding winery of the region, to produce this example exclusively for members. The nose is wonderfully inviting, silky and black-fruit driven, while the palate is full-bodied, pristine and elegant. Vasse Felix don't make own-label wines for their customers as a rule. However, they have made an exception just for us and as a result we are honoured to give members the opportunity to taste top-quality cabernet from such a special producer at unrivalled value.

Vicky Mareque Bueno compares Spain's Rías Baixas region to the UK due to the fact that we both receive a lot of rainfall! However, Galicia also gets ample sunshine that ripens the flinty, mineral albariño grape to perfection. A pristine example of albariño from the country's best region for the grape. This dry white has peachy fruit, with no oak, and is an excellent expression of modern Spanish white winemaking, a joy to sip on its own, and it also has a natural affinity with seafood like the local pulpo a la gallego, tender octopus sliced and simply sprinkled with sea salt, smokled paprika with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.

The 2021 Exhibition Rioja Reserva has been given the additional 'Selección Especial' designation on the label in recognition of the outstanding quality of the vintage. Winemaker Guillermo de Aranzabal of the renowned La Rioja Alta S.A. describes 2021 as one of the finest years he has encountered, comparable to the celebrated 2001. This historic and traditional Rioja house is revered for wines of class and depth. The 2021 spent two years maturing in a combination of new and seasoned American oak barrels from La Rioja Alta’s own cooperage. The nose transports you unmistakably to fragrant, spicy and seductive classic Rioja, with vanilla, cinnamon and ripe dark fruit. The 2021 has added depth and concentration and is finely textured, long and beautifully composed. Still young, we suggest decanting, or even double decanting, before serving.
