New Drinking Wines

With the imminent arrival of Spring, we are very pleased to bring you a number of stunning additions to the Bowes Wine stock list: a real smorgasbord of interest for those on the look-out for great value current drinking, both white wines and red wines.

White wines for drinking now

2019 Soave Superiore Vigneto Runcata, Tenuta Corte Giacobbe
£134.87 per 6 duty paid inc VAT (also available under bond)
Lovers of grand cru Chablis, pay attention! Grown on the slopes of extinct volcanoes, this wine (from 100% Garganega graoes) offers the sort of rapier freshness and intensity that will make your taste buds sit up and beg for more. Drink now, or keep for five years plus.

2021 Malagousia, Ktima Gerovassiliou
£105 per 6 duty paid inc VAT 
A grape variety rescued from extinction by Vengelis Garovassiliou. This is one properly exciting dry white wine. See the tasting video here

2019 Assyrtiko, Santo Wines
£141 per 6 duty paid inc VAT
Further proof, if proof were needed, that Assyrtiko is among the world's finest white grape varieties.
"I would be superbly happy with a glass of this in my hand." Tamlyn Currin

Red wines for drinking now

2019 Sangiovese Brio, Castello di Romatorio
£89.87 per 6 duty paid inc VAT (also available under bond)
Previous vintages of this wine, made by one of Montalcino's up-and-come estates, have been adored by Bowes Wine clients (and Daily Drinker members). Made from fruit grown in the Maremma (i.e. closer to the coast), it is among the most drinkable Tuscan reds we've ever tasted.

2017 Xinomavro Reserve Vieilles Vignes, Alpha Estate
£132 per 6 duty paid inc VAT
See the tasting video here
"A powerful and remarkably fresh wine in the mouth. Intense, chewy and attention-grabbing without being overly heavy or rich." Julia Harding MW
