Gran Bombero 2006
Gran Bombero 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
If Bombero owes much of its flavour intensity to Cari?ena's gnarled, bush-trained old Garnacha vines (among the very oldest in all of Spain!) - imagine what the concentration would be like if you picked fruit only from the very oldest of these - vines of up to 95 years old! In 2006, the vintage that won El Bombero Best in Class at the London's IWSC (the toughest show of all!) Xavier Domeque did just that - selecting his most prized, lowest-yielding Garnacha vines, and only the smallest, ripest bunches from these ... just how deep could flavour concentration go, he wondered ... The meticulously selected fruit was treated to months in soft, vanilla oak (American oak best complements velvety Garnacha) and the wine was rounded to perfection ... barrel-matured, reserva-style - what a triumph! Generous aromas of ripe dark cherries and plummy richness. Lovely, mouthcoating concentration with dense bramble fruit flavours, edged in cassis and polished with a touch of sweeter oak. Gorgeous, so smooth and very memorable! Delicious with the classic, spicy Aragonese lamb dish 'Ternasco.'

Schroeder Estate Pinot Noir
Schroeder Estate Pinot Noir - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
When our buyers heard a whisper about an international medal-winning Argentinian estate beginning to make Pinot Noir in Patagonia, they just had to check it out. So they caught the first plane they could to Buenos Aires and then made the long trek down to the very south of the country ... where they found Pinot Noir wines to rival any New Zealand, and even Burgundy, offerings! The reason for such quality? Despite its reputation for an inhospitable climate, Patagonia boasts extremely long sunshine hours - perfect for ripening - and cold nights that lock in fresh, intense flavour. In these extreme conditions the Pinot Noir berries are bursting with hugely concentrated colour and flavour. And in the hands of top winemakers Roberto Schroeder and consultant Leonardo Puppato, the resulting wine is groundbreaking. ''Rich red with powerful aromas of raspberry, plum and light, spicy oak. Full and rounded in the mouth, with smooth, ripe tannin and fresh red fruit flavours. Wonderfully balanced, a great choice for game and rib of beef.''

Domaine Touzot 2004
Domaine Touzot 2004 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Deliciously rich, white Burgundy from a southeast-facing vineyard in the Macon, similar in aspect to the top vineyards of the Cote d'Or ... and at 35 years old (plus), the vines here only produce a small quantity of very concentrated fruit. Barrel-fermentation in new oak barrels has added a layer of rich, creamy vanilla to the powerful, apricot fruit, beautifully balanced by a tang of citrus freshness. The wine has been made by a French winemaker whose experience has led him to South Africa, Greece and Cyprus. This has given the wine an almost New World character. Serve with cheesy choux pastry with a creamy filling, pasta with a luxurious seafood sauce, or rich white meat dishes. Only gently chill.

Pagos de Tahola Crianza 2004
Pagos de Tahola Crianza 2004 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Two generations of the Chavarri family, father Francisco and daughter Ruth run the estate along with winemaker Miguel Lopez Nunez. The house style is based on exuberant fruit from vines grown in some of Rioja's highest vineyards, framed by careful maturation in high-quality French and American oak barrels. Painstaking care is lavished on this superb Crianza. Sourced from the family's own old vineyards, the grapes are hand-harvested to allow the intense fruit flavours to shine through. 12 months' ageing in a judicious blend of new and old French and American oak barrels has given a deliciously soft wine, overflowing with vibrant, succulent bramble and damson fruit. Superb value.

Visionario 2006
Visionario 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
This elegant, highly complex Italian find is normally reserved for the finest restaurants of Milan and Venice. Made from tiny parcels of fine grapes such as Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Malvasia, this food-friendly speciality rarely sells for less than #20 a bottle ... but thanks to our great relationship with visionary winemaker and old friend Alessandro Gallici ... today you can enjoy this star for a whole lot less! Enticing aromas of marzipan and wild flowers. Thrillingly fresh with a crisp grapefruit finish. Great choice for fine dining all year round.

Gran Valle de Niebla Viognier 2006
Gran Valle de Niebla Viognier 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
This enchanting 100% Viognier comes from Chile's Winemaker of the Year, Adolfo Hurtado. A winemaking legend, Adolfo's was the first vineyard in Chile to grow Viognier - the grape behind the Rhone's finest whites - and he has truly mastered the art! ''Beautiful golden colour with billowing aromas of apricots, fresh peaches and citrus zest. Crisp and refreshing, the mouthwatering flavours unravel to reveal a spicy, minerally finish. This is a Viognier to talk about! Delicious served with oriental food.''

Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Do not miss this! ''One of Australia's most talented and innovative winemakers'' says Oz Clarke, ''Always excellent - 5 STARS'' adds James Halliday, of the estate and husband-and-wife team behind this zesty, aromatic and unique white gem. Once again, this incredible deal necessitated a vow of silence on our part as to the true identity of the estate - they couldn't risk such a low price undermining their upmarket status. The rare combination of three intensely flavoured varieties makes for such a delightfully refreshing, very moreish aperitif you'll want to it enjoy time and time again. Take all you can! Zingy lime and fresh melon aromas. Crisp, racy citrus, stone fruit and apple blossom - absolutely delicious on its own or with seafood, fish, salads and white meat dishes

Andrew Garrett Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Andrew Garrett Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
This leading Aussie winery produces ''excellent wine - at great value'' (James Halliday) and is among a diligent few who can bring out the best from Sauvignon in the Aussie heat. Veterans of the Australian wine industry - Stephen Obst and Ivan Limb - have over the years worked for some of the biggest names in Oz, but have now decided to go solo. Andrew Garrett Sauvignon is made purely from grapes grown at their own vineyard on the tough, rocky soil of Waikeri. This crisp, succulent gem is a match for pricier New Zealand rivals, tangy and rich with a lovely balance of fresh lime, peach notes and a slightly spicy edge. Enjoy as an aperitif or serve chilled with a tomato and goats cheese tart.

Gran Valle de Niebla Sauvignon Blanc 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.

As a result, his top cuvees can command upward of #15 a bottle! But not for old friends ... we've worked with Adolfo for years, and he's happy to give you first taste of his piercingly fresh Sauvignon. It's made from the fruit of meticulously selected vineyard plots in the Great Valley of Fog (Gran Valle de Niebla) where foggy mornings allow grapes to ripen perfectly, whilst retaining the crisp citrus freshness - a hallmark of world-class Sauvignon. ''Long-lasting flavours of zesty lime and gooseberry. Crisp and pure, it makes an excellent aperitif and excels with grilled fish or salads.''

Domaine de Villegeai 2006
Domaine de Villegeai 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Brothers Francois and Michel Quinton have turned little Domaine de Villegeai into a very sought-after Loire name. Celebrated - yet little-known - Coteaux du Giennois sits across the river from Sancerre and offers supreme value. Outstanding quality has seen the area recently awarded Appellation Controlee status, but for now prices remain in your favour. With 2006, a ''terrific vintage'' (Joanna Simon), now's the time to sample this mouthwatering Sauvignon. ''Bright straw colour with leap-from-the-glass aromas of gooseberry and lime and a touch of the flintiness that hallmarks top Loire whites. Concentrated lemon and grapefruit flavours and fresh, minerally notes. A Loire classic to savour ... as an aperitif, or alongside Dover sole and other fine seafood dishes.''

Casella Family Reserve Limited Release Pinot Grigio 2006
Casella Family Reserve Limited Release Pinot Grigio 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
''The Australian wine scene is now mad about Pinot Grigio,'' writes Jancis Robinson in the FT. Which makes it virtually impossible to bring fantastic parcels back to the UK - unless you have great contacts. Step forward John Casella, a winemaking genius we first met more than a decade ago when he was at Sam Trimboli's 250-medal-a-year Riverina Estate. Now he's running the family winery, where he has a small vineyard of specially planted Pinot Grigio vines from which he crafts this thirst-quenching gem. Apple, pear and lime aromas and floral notes too. Lovely and round with tangy, citrus and grapefruit flavours. Totally dry with complex minerally notes. The perfect partner for aromatic Thai dishes. Rich, concentrated but be warned ... very little to go round, so get in quick.

Chateau de Villenouvette Cuvee de Reserve 2006
Chateau de Villenouvette Cuvee de Reserve 2006 - £8.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Chateau de Villenouvette is the most beautiful chateau in Corbieres ... and its wines among the most highly prized. Super-critic Robert Parker described Villenouvette as ''excellent - crammed with layers of blackberries and roasted spices''. It's also BIG news in France ... Le Guide Hachette gave it the highest possible rating - 3 Stars and Coup de Coeur - calling it ''exceptional and complex''. The reason for such high acclaim? A classic blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan from the chateau's antique vines was given extra depth by ageing in fine oak. ''Wonderfully rich, with layer upon layer of blackberries and spice. Delicious now, but will continue to improve for several years to come.''

Fantastic news for bargain hunters, fans of Australia's finest and classic white devotees (Burgundy lovers included) - we've secured a special shipment of premium Western Australian Chardonnay ... at an incredibly low price! ''Margaret River is about finesse and style'' (The Times) and this wine comes from one of the finest estates here. Made using Chardonnay from 14 of Margaret River's best vineyards to make Harman's Road and we reckon it's at the top of its game. Cool sea breezes here keep the fruit mouthwateringly crisp and fresh. And top-quality French oak barrels give the wine a toasty richness that Burgundy fans will adore. ''Deep golden colour with pronounced vanilla and peach aromas. A profusion of tropical fruit flavours, kept in check by a swathe of creamy oak. Wonderful with roast poultry, turkey especially.''
