Domaine Capion

Chateau Capion, Terrasses du Larzac

Located in the south of France, to the north of Montpellier, Terrasses du Larzac is a relatively new appellation, whose name is reflects the terraces descending 800 metres down from the famous Causse du Larzac plateau. 

Due to the position of this 800m high limestone plateau it escapes the hot summer sun and drives cool air through vineyards planted on its slopes.

The appellation is proving its star quality, producing full-bodied, age-worthy reds with freshness and character. 

Chateau Capion, Le Chemin des Garennes 2016 Red

£199 per dozen or £109 per six [use coupon code CDG12 or CD6 at checkout]

A blend of 37% Syrah with 25% Grenache, 23 Cinsault and 15% Mourvedre. The unoaked Garennes Rouge is deep black-red in colour, with rich, vibrant fruit aromas of plum, blackcurrant and blackberry, combined with a clean, savoury intrigue. The palate is concentrated, deep and vivid, with great purity of fruit and Capion’s hallmark lively acidity; a fresh, pristine, juicy yet complex red from fastidiously sorted fruit, beautifully packaged and offering terrific value for money – Andrew Jefford: Drink to 2023

Chateau Capion 2017 Blanc

You thirst for more? This gives it to you! Very elegant and deep nose of spice, caramel, toasty oak, tea leaves and stone fruit. The palate is consummaately statuesque with whispers of buttery baked peach, citrus, vanilla, coconut, flowers and fine acidity. Very long, juicy and succulent. A joy to drink

£228 per six [use coupon code CCB6 at checkout]

Greywacke 2020

The Great Grey – Wacke  .
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, is facing the perfect storm of reduced supply; yields are down about 30% due to the earlier than normal bud bursts being affected by spring frosts. With demand for Premium New Zealand Sauvignon still very strong we have just taken delivery of the last of 2020 stock remaining (5 whole cases!)Add labour shortages, increased packaging costs and a shipping industry still reeling from the joint efforts of Covid and the Suez canal blockage and we feel incredibly lucky to be able to write this offer at all.
Whilst the new 2021 vintage may be small, it is looking perfectly formed – with exceptional levels of concentration, intensity and purity of flavour that low yielding vintages bring. The issue is stretching the supply to meet demand, with most of our producers restricting orders by not taking on new accounts.
So in line with that, we are offering these last few cases to existing customers first, if you can let me know if you wish to take up the offer I will make sure we put a case aside before they hit the shop shelves on the 1st July.
Greywacke, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020, New Zealand
95 points – joint top scoring wine
Seductive bouquet of wild flowers and minerals, a fine-leesy complexity and fresh aromas and flavours of citrus, peach tea and sweet hay. Crisp, refreshing, fruity and dry with fine texture. Just enough concentration of flavour to contrast the fresh herb notes and salivating acidity. Well made and long.
£224 per dozen

Thorne and Daughters

Thorne & Daughters

I first came across Thorne & Daughters when New Wave South Africa hit the UK in 2014, it was John and Tasha’s second vintage and I think, the first to be shipped to the UK.
It was a fruitful encounter as Thorne & Daughters shard facilities with two other New-wavers Chris Alheit and Peter-Allan Finlayson of Crystallum.
Allocations were tiny as everyone scrambled to get their hands on a couple of cases; these were wines made by individuals not estates, the back story for the first time was about the winemaking, not family trees. These young winemakers had worked vintages the world over – John received his degree in viticulture from Plumpton College in the UK, with stints at Ridgeview and Bride Valley before South Africa became his focus.
Back in 2014, Thorne & Daughters was mainly focused on Cape Whites; blends from grapes sourced by knocking on cellar doors of friends and winemakers – John and Tasha did not want to be limited by geography, tied to a single estate or terroir, but driven by, in John’s words ‘a happy synergy of people, place, soil and vines.’ 
Vinification is simple no additions of any sort. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, in old French oak; the whites tend to stay on the lees in various barrels from 225 – 600 litres until blending.The reds are gently extracted, with the inclusion of stems and whole clusters to avoid the need for new oak.

Rocking Horse, 2019 Cape White – from £23.99
A blend of Semillon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne 
Tin Soldier, 2019 Swartland Semillon Gris – from £28.99

Cat’s Cradle, 2019 Swartland Chenin – from £28.99
A single parcel of old bush-vine Chenin Blanc in Paardeberg 
Paper Kite, 2019 Swartland Semillon Blanc – from £31
100% Semillon Blanc, sourced from old bush vines on the Paardeberg mountain, 
Snakes & Ladders, 2019 Sauvignon Blanc from £31
Sauvignon Blanc from a vineyard planted in 1985 on the Skurfberg mountain
Wanderer’s Heart from £23.99
is Thorne & Daughters’ Cape red blend. Grenache Noir, Cinsault, Grenache Gris, Mourvèdre and Syrah combine to create a layered wine with a brilliant lightness of touch, displaying cool-fruit and bright red berry perfumes. 

All of these wines reveal a stylish, effortless character that typifies the dynamic winemaking scene in the Cape today.
