Claymore, ‘Skinny Love’ Viognier, 2016
Do not just reserve this wine for summertime. The fact that it is so damn drinkable, refreshing, delicate; hell it is practically “syn free”.
Appearance
White straw
Nose
An early harvest wine that shows pretty floral notes of Jasmin and white peach.
Palate
Minimal intervention with this wine ensures that the mouthfeel of this wine is soft, balanced, integrated and appealing. Stone fruit and honeydew melon on the finish are complemented by natural acid and retained natural sugars. An extremely pretty, delicate and approachable wine. Hints of apricot flesh on the finish indicate the variety used for this wine.
£12.50

Claymore ‘Nirvana’ Reserve Shiraz, 2012
£27.95Add to cartThis is the icon of legendary Claymore wines portfolio. You will never view a Shiraz in the same way.
This is a wine of elegance, finely structured and delicately balanced. Big juicy fruits are balanced by savoury, spicy elements in the mouth. Lusciously rich plums, blackberries and liquorice are wrapped in gently charry oak brought into line with crisp acidity. We only have a little left of this excellent 2010 vintage which we reserve for our private customers.

Maxwell, Ellen Street Shiraz, 2011

The colour of cherry red. This wine shows aromas of coffee and vanilla bean, violets, glacé fruits and cherries.
PALATE
Flavours of plum, chocolate, and blackberry are immediate in the first sip. This Shiraz shows clean minerality from the limestone sub soils and rich earthy characters through the middle palate offering intense concentration of fruit with soft velvety tannin to complete this wine.
CELLARING POTENTIAL
Given satisfactory cellaring conditions, it is expected this wine will drink particularly well at 6 to 8 years of age.
