Stars in August
August's stars show just why Burgundy and Rioja have the reputations they have.
For the white we've chosen a truly classy St Veran. This is a tribute to a wine making team that know their vineyard and just how to get the absolute best out of their fruit. A wine that reaches heights well above most of its neighbours.
The Red is a teasing glimpse into the talents of one of this planets true talents, Alvaro Palacios. Even with this entry into his world of wine there is a focused complexity that truly impresses.
Both these wines drink deliciously and will happily improve the mood, they also stand up to a more cerebral examination for days when the anorak needs an airing. Stars!
Offers:
► St Veran, Les Chailloux, Domaine des Deux Roches '05 punches well above its weight and shows just how good southern Burgundy can get. *Offer £126 per dozen (£10.50 each) - usually £150 (£12.50 each)*
► La Vendimia, Palacios Remondo '06 is all about Alvaro Palacios. He trained at Petrus, established L'Ermita in the Priorat and has now turned his hand on the home front of the family property in Rioja. Fantastic. *Offer £100 per dozen (£8.33 each) - usually £111 (£9.25 each)*
► *Mixed Dozen of the Stars £115.* six of each make a delightful party pack.
