Staff Favourites Explorer - Mixed Half Dozen

Big, flavoursome Kabinett, soft and herby, fresh and open with ripe, elegant fruit. Good, concentrated wine from a dedicated and serious young grower. This estate is based underneath the family's hotel by the bridge in Piesport.

Ten months in French oak. Delightfully perfumed nose of violets and raspberry leaf. This is the winery's number one seller - particularly popular in Algarve restaurants. Easy drinking with a long smooth finish - a real pleasure.

Further thoughts from the Tanners team...
A wine I turn to time and time again. I love its soft, easy style – quite voluptuous. The dark, ripe, plummy fruit is delicious, both on its own or with a plethora of dishes, its supple richness making it a great all-rounder. I often recommend this red for weddings and parties as it suits a broad range of tastes. Robin Torrens, Customer Services Coordinator

Elegant, fruity wine with plenty of supple red and black fruit, backed up with ripe tannin. This is mainly Grenache with 20 per cent Syrah from an individual, low-yielding parcel to the north of Rivesaltes town.

A rich, ripe style of Pinot with black fruits a hint of oak from nine months in barrel, silky tannins, great balance and lovely purity to the fruit. The finish is elegant and long.

This has a wonderful silky texture with full flavours of white plums with hints of honey and nuts on the finish. Complexity is achieved through low yields, the blend and lees ageing.
