Order for just £54.99 (saving over £55) – only £4.59 a bottle!

There’s a European slant to this selection, but the wines are far from traditional. From the east we have a Romanian wine, a blend of local grape Fetească Neagră with Shiraz. Then from the country next door, Moldova, a Cabernet that tastes exotic and spicy. The same grape tastes quite different when grown in the Languedoc, like the ripe juicy Chevalier de Caylus. With the whites we have two Italian classics, a Verdicchio and a heady blend from Tuscany. Finally there's a lone New World wine – although ‘new’ is a bit of a misnomer, as Marsanne has been planted in Australia for well over 150 years.   

The wines:
Burebista Fetească Neagră Shiraz 2016
Affogato Red Blend 2015
Chevalier de Caylus Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
La Roccaccia Verdicchio di Matelica 2017
Collezione di Paolo Bianco Vergine 2016
McPherson Charlie’s Block Marsanne 2016

Inside the white wine case

Order for just £54.99 (saving over £61) – only £4.59 a bottle!

This season’s white case (with one rosé) contains grape varieties that deserve to be better known. If you think German Rieslings are sugary, you're in for a pleasant surprise with the bone-dry, lime-scented Von Reben. Then there’s a Marsanne, a speciality of Victoria in Australia. Next come two blends, the heady Collezione di Paolo Bianco Vergine from Italy combining Trebbiano with Chardonnay and Malvasia, and a mixture of southern French grapes from a legendary producer, Mas de Daumas Gassac. Finally, a delicate rosado from Portugal made from local varieties combined with a grape that needs no introduction – Cabernet Sauvignon. 

The wines:
La Roccaccia Verdicchio di Matelica 2017
McPherson Charlie’s Block Marsanne 2016
Collezione di Paolo Bianco Vergine 2016
Von Reben Riesling 2016
Grande Réserve de Gassac Blanc 2016
Amoras Rosado Lisboa 2017

What's inside the red wine case

Order for just £54.99 (saving over £69) – only £4.59 a bottle!

Two of the wines here showcase case the adaptability of Cabernet Sauvignon, the grape originally from Bordeaux that has conquered the world. It thrives almost anywhere with enough sunshine but it always tastes different. There is the ripe Chevalier de Caylus from the Languedoc, and then in the Pueblo Gaucho from Argentina the Cabernet plays a supporting role to Malbec. And then three wines that are completely different: the crowd-pleasing Dinastía Manzanos Rioja, the Burebista from Romania which combines Shiraz with a native grape, and finally from the Douro valley in Portugal the utterly irresistible Castelo do Vinteiro. 

The wines:
Burebista Fetească Neagră Shiraz 2016
Affogato Rosso 2015
Chevalier de Caylus Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Pueblo Gaucho Malbec Cabernet 2016
Dinastía Manzanos Rioja 2016
