Alsace wines: elegant, fragrant, rounded and fabulously food friendly

Alsace is the perfect place to visit if you want to enjoy some of the world’s greatest white wines in picture perfect scenery.
Renowned by experts the world over for their aromatic fruitiness and compatibility with many kinds of food, Alsace whites are outstanding – from powerful Rieslings and spicy Gewurztraminers to delicately scented Muscats and pretty Pinots (Blanc, Gris and Noir). The only permitted red grape – Pinot Noir – makes wines full of summer berry flavours.

Alsace’s white wines range in style from bone dry to lusciously sweet, which means there’s a perfect wine to match with whatever you’re eating – from spicy Indian curries to fragrant Asian dishes and sushi.

Alsace Wines will be at the following the Three Wine Men events

22nd & 23rd Sept, London

Since June 1847, five generations of the Booths family have led E.H. Booth & Co. Ltd, from its humble beginnings, with just one small shop, to the present day where the company proudly boasts no fewer than 28 modern food stores.

Tea dealer Edwin Henry Booth, then aged 19 years, opened The China House in Blackpool 165 years ago, he had one simple aim, “To sell the best goods he could buy in shops staffed with first class assistants”. Today we hold true to our founders vision and take great pride in the quality in our business. We also work hard to engage with the communities within which we trade and to develop own label product ranges in partnerships with local suppliers and producers.

Virginia boasts the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west; the Atlantic Ocean to the east; and Washington DC sits to the north. Enjoy exquisite Virginia wines and experience the essence of the beautiful countryside, the depth and richness of Virginia’s historical roots, and the passion and skill of the winemakers.

Chris Parker, the Founder of New Horizon Wines and a Brit, has lived in Virginia, USA for over 20 years.

A growing number of winemakers in Virginia are developing a reputation for making world-class wines, and New Horizon Wines is making sure that they are available in the UK.

“Recently, when I am asked if I’ve discovered any new world-class vineyard regions, I am quite likely to say yes, one of the oldest in America – Virginia.” ~ Oz Clarke’s 250 Best Wines 2012.

Louis Jadot

Sarah Johnson — Tue, 15 May 2012 20:24:31 +0000

From the tip of Chablis to the toe of Beaujolais, from regional, village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines Louis Jadot produces Burgundy and nothing but Burgundy. The familiar Bacchus head label has become the reliable stamp of quality and consistency from what can often be a confusing region.

Louis Henry Denis Jadot founded the business in 1859. His vision was to build a business with a high quality reputation. One of his key aims, as well as to make top wines, was to build a significant vineyard base. This vision remains core to the business today.

Errazuriz

Sarah Johnson — Tue, 15 May 2012 20:23:28 +0000

The Errazuriz Estate was founded in 1870 when Don Maximiano Errazuriz planted his first vineyards at Panquehue in the Aconcagua Valley – 100km North of the capital. Recognising that this valley, with its cool, rainy winters, hot, dry summers and moist Pacific Ocean breezes, was ideal for growing grapes, Don Maximiano sent for the finest clones from France and with tenacity and perseverance transformed this barren land into a world class vineyard.

Today, the tradition of quality lives on with Don Maximiano’s descendant Eduardo Chadwick. Eduardo is the sixth generation of his family to be involved in the wine business. Eduardo has overseen the modernisation of the winemaking technology at this historic Estate whilst maintaining a distinct identity for its wines. Dedicated to producing estate grown wines of superior quality, Errazuriz has built a reputation as the “Premier Family Wine Estate of Chile”.
