Forget the prejudice and try the wine for yourself! Our Beaujolais Nouveau is by Gilles Ducroux from his Regnie Cru AC vineyards to provide added weight and first rate fruit to counter the typical acidity associated with Beaujolais Nouveau.
Dig out your beret, don a silly moustache, invite some friends round and together enjoy the first vintage 2006 wine from France.

Our efforts to raise money for our nominated charity Help A Hallam Child will take a boost thanks to our association with Sheffield United Football Club (SUFC).
As the supplier of wines to Brammall Lane we have an agreement to get bottles of wines and chamnpagnes signed by the visiting team manager. At the end of the season the bottles of wines featuring the Premiership managers signatures will be auctioned off to raise as much money for this very worthy cause.
This blog will be updated with the results of the auction and the website will feature further bottles as they are signed. For you own fundraising efforts please see the Help a Hallam Child fundraising page

Seasonal update from Casa Lapostolle winery in Chile:
"Spring has arrived in its full splendor in the vineyards of Casa Lapostolle. We already have temperatures of 25°C (77°F)
during the day that go down to 5°C (41°F) at night. This is an ideal situation for the good growth of the vines.
As a result of a few days of light rain, this year budburst has been excellent.
In our "Atalayas” vineyard in Casablanca, it is a pleasure to look at the hills covered with an intense green canopy,
they seem to be waves at sea, where each plot has been planted in a specific position to capture the best of the sunrays.
There, the breeze of the Pacific Ocean also influences that special flavor of the Cuvée Alexandre Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
In the "Apalta" vineyard, we have planted 20 new hectares and it is very good to see that it is growing healthily, some of them
at the foot of the hills and others very near to where we have 50-100 year-old vines that form the base of our icon wine Clos Apalta.
We couldn’t ask for better and we are very happy to be able to share it with you."
