Legendary Wines of the World
There are many wines in the world which express qualities of greatness and which are produced in small quantities;
however the wines featured in this section are all truly exceptional and excruciatingly rare. Each one of these wines is
arguably the finest example of its kind and is the ultimate expression of its provenance. Such is their stature that it can
be said with all conviction that these wines are legendary in every sense of the word.

The five Premiers Crus of the Médoc are served together in an unforgettable flight celebrating their
brilliance and individuality. Classified in 1855 (with Mouton-Rothschild promoted slightly later) the five
‘First Growths’ of the Left Bank are the zenith of France’s most iconic wine region. With incredible subtlety
and nuance, each wine expresses a unique microclimate of the Haut-Médoc and Pessac-Léognan.
Five 50ml glasses of Les Premiers Grand Crus Classés de Médoc are
served together with an explanation of their common theme and differences.

413 István Szepsy 'Esszencia', Hungary - 375ml 1999 $550.00 $230.00 $120.00
“The wine of kings and the king of wines” according to Louis XIV. Istvàn Szepsy is the direct descendant of
Szepsy Lackó Máté who, in 1631 was the first person to write down the Tokaji making process. Esszencia is
the richest and rarest of all Hungarian Tokaji wines. It is the truest expression of terroir known to man. Typically,
this free run juice takes 6 to 8 years to complete its fermentation to as little as 2% alcohol and can reach as
much as 85% sugar.
406 Château d'Yquem, France - 750ml 1996 $385.00 $80.00 $42.50
Sauternes’ most acclaimed wine and global superstar, Château d’Yquem, was designated Premieur Cru
Supérieur in 1855, a classification created purely for this single producer. One of the world’s longest-living
wines, the tiny production of this iconic wine depends on perfect vintage conditions.
Champagne and Sparkling Wines.
Champagne Delamotte is a small producer of Champagne in the grand cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It is not
only one of the oldest Champagne houses, but also, arguably, one of the most refined in style and pedigree. This is
hardly surprising, considering Delamotte’s status as sister house of the legendary Salon Champagne, perhaps the
world’s finest and rarest blanc de blancs Champagne, produced only in exceptional vintages.

Vignerons are special people indeed. Taking on Mother Nature requires real strength of character but one
might question the (in)sanity of attempting to make wine in a climate as unpredictable as England’s. So, how to be
a winemaker in Blighty? Exact ingredients and timings may vary but start with a dream, a few spoonfuls of fervent
conviction, equal patience of spirit, top it up with sheer dogged determination and you have the basic recipe.
There's no doubt that winemakers with the mettle are learning fast. While the concept of English wine seems to be
causing a degree of mirth across the channel, it is interesting to note how many champenois are investing in
vineyards on the chalk-rich soils of England’s southern counties.

Alsace.
A rather complicated history is reflected in Alsace's style of wine; that of a region which has changed nationality six
times in 300 years. There are obvious Germanic influences yet the wines here are unique, more powerful, drier than
those of Germany and with quite a different mineral definition.

Burgundy.
Burgundy’s complexity and tremendous diversity are the result of geological accident. Centuries ago,
faulting tore the great valley apart, easing the passage of the nearby Saône River. The slope thus formed is irregular
and intricate, making for a rich tapestry with which to create stunning wines. Burgundy begins in Chablis, isolated
some 80 miles north of the rest of the region with its very individual terroir. The region then extends over some
180 miles of varied, spectacular countryside, as far as Lyon in the south, via the Côte de Nuits,
Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

Bordeaux.
Today’s Bordeaux wines face many challenges in a world where wines are increasingly accessible – a far cry from
the rather stoical classicism for which Bordeaux is best known, creating wines to last. They do say, however,
that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Bordeaux blends are emulated the world over. Despite all of
the technical know-how available, the fact remains that what makes Bordeaux special is unique to Bordeaux; a
complex geological, meteorological and geographical mix which cannot be copied. Bordeaux wines, produced with
respect for their origins, are special. Happily, an increasing number of producers are coming to realise that they are
better off perfecting what they have rather than trying to copy the power of warmer climes. Vintages are naturally
different and are all the better for that – great food wines.

The Loire.
The Loire stretches over 600 miles and is the longest river in France. Travelling through no fewer than
12 départements, it is small wonder that the scope for different styles of wine is so wide. The Loire Valley has a
marginal climate reliant on south-facing slopes with sunshine reflected on stone, streams and sheltered oasis.
The Loire is home to some of the world’s most famous wines; Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé from the central valley to
Anjou-Saumur with its warmer Atlantic influence ideal for sweet whites, rosés and sparkling wines.

Rhône.
The northern and southern areas of the Rhône Valley differ so much in terms of geology, topography and climate
that they ought to be considered two different regions. The northern area, with its steep, granitic slopes planted
with terraced staked vines produces perhaps the finest reds from Syrah and Condrieu from Viognier. The southern
area takes on a more Mediterranean style where vineyards are planted with a myriad of varieties with a distinctive
southern French character. Both areas of the valley benefit from the cooling Mistral wind, allowing for greater
freshness than would ordinarily be expected this far south.

Languedoc - Roussillon.
Languedoc-Roussillon is the central region in the south of France. More relaxed wine laws here allow wine makers
to be much more experimental in terms of blends and styles, making this an incredibly exciting wine region, with
lots of hidden gems and wide ranging styles of wines. About a quarter of all vines in France are found in this region
and it is the largest vine growing region in the world. Following huge investment since the 1970s, this has become
one of the most successful wine regions in France.

Germany.
Germany produces some of the world’s finest white wines, presenting natural, grapey richness complemented by
racy acidity. Riesling is king here, offering purity and precision. Producers run the gauntlet of nurturing vines in a very
marginal climate, at the absolute limit of where grapes will ripen. This is both a constant threat and a magnificent
opportunity as vine and man both struggle to balance two essential but dangerous elements in fine wine – acidity
and ripeness. At their best, such wines can be electric and the perfect complement to a vast array of dishes and
even some trickier ingredients. Hugely versatile, these are great food wines.

Baden
One of the most underrated European wine producing countries, Austria - tucked between Germany, Hungary,
Slovakia and the Czech Republic - is rather quietly making world-class wines. Native Grüner Veltliner is the king
of Austrian grape varieties – mostly light and early drinking with a hint of spice, although premium examples may
age for years and can even be evocative of Burgundian Chardonnay. Production is dominated by white wines, but
winemakers are stealthily producing lighter reds too, often from Zweigelt , a descendant of everyone’s beloved Pinot
Noir.

It is hard to imagine a more exciting or varied wine-producing country than Italy. With a vibrant winemaking history

the Italian peninsula is home to an enormous range of climates, topographies and soil types hosting hundreds
of distinctive grapes unique to Italy. It is hardly surprising then, that Italy’s wine range is so diverse, spanning all
colours and styles, from dry to sweet, still wine to sparkling wine, and everything in between.

Portugal.
Portugal is not a Mediterranean country. Portugal is neither Mediterranean in geography, climate nor attitude. It
is also not homogenous in any sense - quite the opposite. Diversity finds its form in the classic north-south divide
of its people, in the cultural and economic wealth of the big cities and in the rustic simplicity of the countryside. In
wine too, diversity and choice is manifest in the 200 plus indigenous grape varieties and in all the varied climates of
its multiple wine regions. From the steely dry whites of the northerly Vinho Verde to the luscious, sumptuous,
sun-kissed wines of the southerly Alentejo, Portugal has something for everyone to enjoy. It also lays claim to the
world’s oldest protected wine producing region (and World Heritage Site) in the Douro Valley; traditionally important
for Port production, the Douro is now also home to some of the finest wines available in the world today .

Turkey’s incredibly diverse landscape produces an astonishing range of wines, and the country represents
enormous potential, with large volumes of grapes still destined for dried fruit rather than the fermented version!
Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia in the centre of Turkey. The UNESCO Cultural and Natural
Heritage Site is known for its breath-taking landscape of white tufa (fairy chimneys), its high volcanic mountains,
and hot air ballooing as captured in the label design.

Israël.
Israel’s best-kept secret is its wine. With over 300 wineries, the country has enjoyed an explosion of wine culture in recent
years, and Clos de Gat’s wines are the perfect ambassadors for this burgeoning wine region. Grapes are pressed in a
3,000 year old ‘gat’ (Hebrew for wine press) and wines are fermented in open vats with natural yeasts from the vineyard,
producing a range of wines representing Israel’s unique terroir in the foothills of the Judean Mountains.

Australia’s wine industry has been phenomenally successful in the last 30 years and today is the world’s fourth

countries to understand how to appeal to modern wine drinkers, with its easy-drinking wine styles. Its innovative
strategy of producing and labelling wines according to grape variety proved highly popular and saw Australia steal
valuable market share from traditional producing countries such as France, Italy and Spain.

New Zealand.
New Zealand’s wines continue to soar in popularity, driven by the exuberant, stylish
Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs that have become the country’s signature. Despite the fact that this
grape variety now accounts for almost 70% of New Zealand’s entire production, equating to some 200 million bottles
a year, New Zealand is certainly no one-trick pony when it comes to its regional and varietal scope.
Its Burgundian Chardonnays, pristine Riesling styles and rich, perfumed Pinot Noirs remain hard to beat
for their quality, balance, finesse and sheer drinkability.

South Africa is one of the world’s most exciting wine producing regions today. The South African wine industry is
in renaissance, supported by outside investment (particularly from Europe), and a dynamic new generation of
winemakers keen to push quality boundaries, experiment with site selection and create different wine styles. The
Cape’s location is key to this: the wine lands here are buffeted continually by cooling ocean breezes, tempering the
intense heat at this latitude and providing near-perfect conditions for high quality wine grapes. South Africa’s wine
styles typically reflect these conditions, combining exuberant sunshine favours with the elegant structural frame
more typical of cooler-climate European wines.

Japanese Sake has played a long and distinguished role in the evolution of Japanese tradition and culture.
Sake reflects the appreciation of the Japanese for the ebb and flow of the seasons, and is enjoyed
and shared among friends.
Akashi Sake Brewery pride themselves on maintaining a traditional handcrafted approach to creating
the finest Japanese Sake. The history of the brewery stretches back to the end of the Tokugawa Period (1600-1867),
when the company produced soy sauce and traded in rice and then in 1918 started to brew Sake for the first time.
Brewing superior Sake by hand requires all five senses to perfect the natural processes of fermentation and flavour
development. Even the hushed sounds of the natural fermentation at work can be heard in the cool,
quiet rooms of the brewery.

Sweet wines are the ultimate expression of decadence. In the best examples, high acidity cuts across luscious
sweetness leaving pure, mouth-watering intensity. These wines are made by concentrating the sugars in each grape
via a number of outlandish methods - such as encouraging a special fungus known as ‘noble rot’ which pierces the
skin and allows water to evaporate, leaving a shrivelled grape; or, with Ice Wine, leaving grapes to freeze on the vine
well past harvest and into winter, then crushing them to extract the sweet nectar from the ice. Paired with desserts,
with foie gras or all by itself, dessert wine should never be an afterthought.
