STYLE GUIDE FOR RED WINESAll red wines in the list are lettered A to E. Light, soft, easy drinking wines such as a simple Beaujolais or a light Vin de Pays wine will be at the ‘A’ end of the scale. Slightly more serious but nevertheless, light, wines will be B; Pinot Noir, Valpolicella, entry level Chilean blends. C is the catch-all category that takes most red wines, with heavier, more concentrated wines falling into the D zone - Cabernet Sauvignon, Rioja Reserva, Cru Classé Bordeaux. E is reserved for the real heavyweights of great density, power and quality - Reserve Shiraz.

STYLE GUIDE FOR WHITE AND ROSÉ WINESWhite and rosé wines are numbered 1 to 9. Bone dry wines that are relatively light, such as Sauvignon Blanc from cooler climates will be marked 1. Champagnes, Manzanilla Sherry and cool climate Chardonnays such as Chablis will also be 1. 2 is a far more common category with the vast majority of white table wines fitting this group, from Chilean Chardonnay to New Zealand Riesling; from White Rioja to Soave Classico. 3 indicates a wine that is very slightly off-dry and a little richer in style - a Grand Cru wine from Alsace for example. Medium dry wines are between 3 and 5. Sweet wines range from 5 through to 9; from Spätlese through to Eiswein; from Madeira Verdelho to Malmsey.

Vintages are correct at time of going to press, but many wines bought regularly may change vintage over the life of this list.

INTRODUCTIONAs always I am pleased to extend a ‘vinous’ welcome to our 2013 Walter Hicks Wine and Spirit Brochure. I would like to take this opportunity to bring you up to speed with a number of exciting new developments in the list.The Range2012 saw us maintain our market share in the face of significant competition in the marketplace. In order to respond to the need for more competitively priced wines we have strengthened our entry range with some tempting new additions including a pair of wines from Chile called Whistle Blower – a Merlot-Cabernet and a Semillon-Sauvignon. They are affordable, commercial fruity styles which are worthy of a listing.

Spain has become well suited to providing house wines for the UK market and we have two new ranges to offer – Tres Altas and Las Valles. Tres Altas uses local grapes blended with international varietals to help customer recognition. The white is an Eva-Sauvignon, although I have to confess to never having heard of the regional Spanish grape called Eva, while the red is Tempranillo-Shiraz. Las Valles offers a more classic Spanish style red and white at very keen prices.

Whilst on Spain we have had such success with our Don Placero Rioja that we have complemented the Rioja options for ‘By the Glass’ listings with the new Finca Mónica Rioja which is full of vanilla and red fruit flavours.

Our Il Meridione pair from Sicily offer very food friendly wines and we are adding a Grillo, an indigenous Sicilian grape with a citrus character that pairs well with creamy pasta dishes, to the whites.

Over the last twelve months we have worked hard on revamping our Beaujolais selection and are proud to present our new range from Collin Bourisset. Included in the range are a Beaujolais and Fleurie both available in bottle and half bottle and Beaujolais-Villages and Côtes de Brouilly are also available. The wines were launched at a winemaker’s dinner event at the Meudon Hotel near Falmouth back in the autumn when they were well received for their overall elegance and typicity of style, as well as a more up-to-date label that will be more visual on a back bar display.

We have also refreshed our Alsace section and now work with Michel Leon stocking his excellent Riesling and Gewürztraminer and our first sparkling wine from the region - Crémant d’Alsace. The bottles are in the traditional flute shape and could make for an awkward addition to the fridge shelving but will certainly have a pleasing aspect on the table to make up!

Eye-catching LabelsAs well as providing consistency of quality at competitive pricing, labels have become far more important in the on-trade than ever before. This is something we are continuing to work on and you may spot the new and eye-catching Puente del Inca label, the revamped Richmond Ridge and Castle Creek labels as well as a forthcoming change to the Steenbok range with a cartoon style label. Further labels will be changing this year as we endeavour to keep up with the ever changing consumer demand.

Lower ABV WinesThis year we have decided not to take on the much lower ABV wines, such as the 5.5% sparkling wines, that appear to be slowly gaining more popularity in the off-trade. Our research indicates that there is little demand in the on-trade for such wines. However it is something we are keeping a close eye on and have tasted some great examples from Australia and even Brazil should there be a resurgence in demand.

In our mission to promote responsible drinking we are attempting to progressively lower the ABV of our top fifty selling wines by half a percent. This is something that has been happening in the last twelve months and will continue apace as consumers become more conscious of their alcohol unit intake. We are running this initiative in conjunction with the Portman Group.

Page 5: Walter Hicks Wine List 2013

Plastic Wine BottlesWith a move towards stricter licensing laws and more environmentally friendly products we are pleased to present our trio of MLP (Multi Layer Plastic) packaged wines. Hope Bay wines from South Africa are available in glass or plastic quarter bottles along with the full bottle size in glass. Their standout tail-shaped label will no doubt make the customer notice this wine.

2012 Harvest ReportEurope has reported the worst harvest in fifty years and the scare stories are coming predominantly from Italy, Spain and France – three major suppliers to the UK wine market. Unfortunately this will result in some price increases. In addition the future of the Euro exchange rate is also uncertain.

On the positive side, Europe’s misfortunes may give an opportunity for the more stable Australian market to regain some market share at entry level, that is, if consumers can be enticed back to Chardonnay – now a much lighter fresher style.

Other Southern hemisphere wine-producing countries report a mixed bag, with South America on the whole maintaining supply and pricing while New Zealand has suffered a poor harvest and subsequent shortage of juice in the marketplace.

South Africa is the one to watch, however, with prices remaining on a par with last year, no supply issues and the quality of the wine is constantly improving. Could light, fruity Chenin Blanc be the new Pinot Grigio?

Wine TeamWhilst I trust that you are able to enjoy consuming some of the wines on our list I would remind you of the people that we have assembled to support you in maximising your wine sales to your customers. From our Telephone Sales and Inventory Control teams behind the scenes to the front of house Wine Development team, we have dedicated and knowledgeable individuals doing their best to look after you. Please use their skills as a resource to the benefit of your business as we think they are the best in the West!

In conclusion, social media continues to develop exponentially and you can keep up with our daily goings-on, including information on tastings and winemakers’ support as well as all the news in the wine trade, on Twitter @hickswines.

As ever we wish you a prosperous 2013 and thank you for your custom which is always appreciated but never taken for granted. Let’s at least hope for some better weather this year.

Cheers!

GREEN WINESSt Austell Brewery takes its environmental responsibilities seriously and has, as a matter of course, extended its concerns to cover the wine range. In the current economic climate many producers do not necessarily have their produce “certified” because of the cost implications. However, in every wine-producing country there are regimes that will lead to environmental credentials for farming and production. Labels like organic, biodynamic, sustainable, IFM (Integrated Farm Management) or biodiversity are the most common ones, but it is an area that is evolving and growing all the time.

Most of these improvement schemes have similar aims, but each country or region will have particular procedures with varying concerns. Given the differing climates in which wine is made, this is no surprise, but it does feel like a maze. It is also now a very competitive area that is progressing all the time.

We will continue to seek out wines and producers with credentials that are recognised in this country, or that are easily communicated to your customers. For now, there are several quality organic wines on our list, like Côtes du Rhône Nature, Domaine Perrin (page 28) and Pinot Noir Vat 10, De Bortoli (page 57). We would also recommend looking closer to home: by default, English wines have a lower carbon footprint as they do not have to travel far to reach the customer’s glass.

www.staustellbrewery.co.uk6

G CERTIFIED ORGANICNo chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or insecticides are allowed in organic vineyards. The only permitted sprays are mineral-based (such as copper and sulphur), which stay on the plant surface and are not absorbed by the vine. It can take several years for a vineyard to convert to organic production and only then can official recognition come from its government or affiliated association.

5709020 Château Musar 2002, Bekaa Valley Lebanon 45

G UNCERTIFIED ORGANICThe same practices are followed as for certified organic vineyards but the producer has not sought, or registered for any official recognition and the wines are not permitted to carry an organic logo.

G MINIMUM INTERVENTIONThis is evident in the vineyard when the grower interferes as little as possible with nature’s processes. Some chemicals may be used but only reactively as a last resort when the crop is in danger, such as containment of disease or pests.

G ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONSAny decision or action made during the wine-making process must have its impact on the environment considered. At every level, the effects are monitored and assessed. Many winemakers begin on the long road to organic recognition or sustainable viticulture this way.

CHAMPAGNEAs environmental considerations grow ever more important, Champagne is embracing a greener future of sustainability and a prevention-rather-than-cure approach. In 2001 the CIVC (Le Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne) launched an environmental initiative championing viticulture raisonnée, which implores producers to do only what is needed. Growers are rated on a scale of 0-100% compliance on sustainable practices. As a consequence, use of insecticides in Champagne is down by 85% and herbicides by 50%. The CIVC is looking to reduce carbon emissions by 25% over the coming years and will implement a lighter Champagne bottle to help achieve this.

Where sales are concerned, Champagne exports continue to be on the up despite challenging economic times and the ever-increasing popularity and threat of more affordable sparkling wines. While the UK remains the key export market, the affluent Far East is hot on our heels with luxury brands, including Champagne, in high demand. Sales of Champagne in the on-trade are buoyant due to staff knowledge, visual marketing and consumer demand for quality. In fact, according to recent data, Champagne sales are showing stronger volume growth than sparkling wines. By working closely with our suppliers we can offer point of sale, promotions and training to ensure we keep the sparkle in Champagne.

SPARKLING WINE

Page 14: Walter Hicks Wine List 2013

SPARKLING WINEAlthough sales of Champagne seem to be on the up again, many people remain understandably cautious. As a result, consumers are focusing their attentions towards sparkling wine. Fortunately, we think our selection has never been stronger.

Prosecco continues to take the world by storm thanks to its light, fresh style and lower alcohol levels, making for an affordable, approachable fizz for any occasion. Meanwhile, Cava is steadily shedding its stigma of being a cheap, old fashioned fizz and our brand new El Miracle Cava Brut and Cava Brut Rosé show elegance, softness, complexity and balance with a modern, appealing label. The first in the trio of our new Alsacian range (see ‘Alsace’ for the Gewürztraminer and Riesling) comes in the form of Michel Leon’s elegant Cremant d’Alsace, made from 100% Pinot Blanc. Old favourites such as Veuve Valmante and Louis Perdrier never disappoint, while at the other end of the scale, Pelorus offers a top quality sparkling wine from the famous Cloudy Bay.

Moving closer to home, the award winning Camel Valley Brut and Rosé Brut continue to go from strength to strength, often giving Champagne a run for its money and frequently picking up top awards. Meanwhile, over at Sharpham Estate in Devon, the superb, traditional method Sharpham Estate Brut offers a fresh, crisp style with elegant mousse and classy finish.

FRANCE BORDEAUX

Bordeaux is one of the great wine regions of the world, with more than 22,000 vineyard owners producing the equivalent of 44 million cases a year. The region is split by the rivers Garonne and Dordogne, which together create the mighty Gironde. The Gironde’s ’Left Bank’ is dominated by a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, while the ‘Right Bank’ has rounder, softer styles dominated by Merlot.

These wines are commanding greater prices due to a growing Asian market, where customers will pay premiums for the most famous labels. The 2010 vintage is being heralded as an all time great, with notable critic Robert Parker describing it as one of the three best vintages he’s ever tasted.

In our search for value and reliability we look to the second label of a very famous Château. La Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet is more approachable and better value than its more famous counterpart. Do not forget the dry, fresh modern rosés and whites to be found in the region, such as the wonderful family-run Château Pierrail. Bordeaux is also home to some of the greatest names in sweet wine, which make for a delicious end to a special meal and give you greater add-on sales. Sauternes is fundamental to that offering, while Château Theulet from Monbazillac offers excellent value for money.

FRANCE BURGUNDY

If Bordeaux is the king of wine regions then Burgundy is the queen, with its elegant Pinot Noirs and classic Chablis. Chardonnay is the most widely planted grape for the whites and the notoriously difficult to grow Pinot Noir for the reds (with the exception of Beaujolais where Gamay is the grape varietal).

Chablis signals the northern-most tip of Burgundy where Chardonnay produces fine wines with elegant acidity and minerality. Two hours south and you reach the Côte d’Or, home to the legendary Pinot Noir villages of Gevry-Chambertin and Nuits Saint Georges and the equally feted Chardonnay villages of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Further south you find Pouilly-Fuissé where Chardonnay also reigns supreme. To the south, red wines take the lead in Beaujolais, where the Gamay grape produces wonderful diversity, from floral Fleurie to the more powerful Morgon.

We are proud to have over 30 Burgundian wines to offer, whether you want day to day drinking or something more special. A new producer to our selection is Collin Bourisset, an innovative winemaker who specialises in Beaujolais. We are also pleased to be taking on a red Saint-Aubin from the revered house of Carillon to complement their excellent Puligny-Montrachet already on our list. We also welcome Gerard Thomas with his white Saint-Aubin, which offers an excellent value white Côte de Beaune.

FRANCE LOIRE

The Loire Valley Vineyard stretches from the west coast Nantes area with its bone dry, sea-fresh Muscadets, through to Central Loire with sweeter Vouvrays and dry fruity Touraine Sauvignon. From there it flows to the Upper Loire, almost in the centre of the country – and home to the villages of Pouilly Fumé, Sancerre and Menetou-Salon, with their superb minerally, flinty wines. The Loire region produces every colour; white, red and rosé in every combination; dry, sweet, still and sparkling. The area is the biggest producer of white wine in France, and produces 20% of all the country’s wine. The UK is the biggest export market for the Loire region and the wines are perfectly suited to the abundance of fresh fish and seafood found on menus across the South West.

We have one new addition to the range – a Muscadet Sur Lie that partners superbly with shellfish. Muscadet ‘Bleu’ comes in an eyecatching blue bottle with white stencils of sea shells and starfish.

Chereau Carré’s wines go from strength to strength representing the different styles of Muscadet. Guy Saget wines; Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre, represent assured quality and elegance, and are now closed with screw cap for ultra freshness. Henri Pellé’s Menetou-Salon is the leading estate in the region, and offers wine that is crisp and fragrant, pure and clean. For extra indulgence, Sancerre Vacheron is from an impeccably run 37 hectare family domain.

FRANCE RHÔNE

Rhône is a versatile, highly productive region of two parts: the cooler north focusing around the hill of Hermitage, with its spicy Syrahs and peachy Viogniers; and the warmer south with its famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which can be made from up to 13 grape varieties. We continue to list old favourites such as Paul Jaboulet Ainé, as well as examples from the many lesser-known Rhône villages like Gigondas and Vacqueyras.

It also seems that we set something of a trend by offering wines from perennial favourite Domaine Perrin, who are now working with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to produce wine from their Château Miraval vineyards. We always knew our wines were worthy of ‘A-List’ status.

Whilst the Northern Rhône produces wine to rival the greats of Bordeaux and Burgundy, the region as a whole produces fabulous everyday drinking wines, bolstered by consistently good vintages in recent years. Our Rhône selection caters for everything from easy drinking French to something more prestigious from renowned Chapoutier, Colombo & Fille and Guigal.

Showing particularly well currently are the wines from the house of Etienne Guigal, now in its third generation. For something really special, try the Côte Rotie Brune et Blonde 2005 or the Condrieu 2010.

Winemaker Profile - Michel Chapoutier:

Independent and family-owned. Members of the Chapoutier family have been in the Rhône since 1808. Michel Chapoutier took over the domain in 1990 and represents now the 7th generation.

He is audacious, passionate, constantly creative and a terroir lover.

Michel’s love for soils and grapes, especially Syrah led him to spread his wings to Roussillon.

The Roussillon history is complex and compelling. Terraces on stony soil, with a rich geological background and a climate that man has adopted for his crops. The Roussillon was bound to attract Michel Chapoutier’s attention. Les Vignes de “Bila-Haut” (see pages 31 and 33) are the expression of this wonderful terroir.

Page 30: Walter Hicks Wine List 2013

FRANCE SOUTH OF FRANCE

Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon create the largest wine-producing region in the world, producing five times that of Australia and encompassing a great diversity of soils, grape types and wine styles. It is also the oldest grape growing region of France with vineyards like Laurent Miquel dating back to Roman times.

The South West is famous for modern styles of wine, with an emphasis on the grape variety and producer rather than village or region. Great value ’by the glass’ offers can be found: the Riviera range has proved popular with a fresh zippy Sauvignon Blanc and smooth, easy drinking Merlot, and new to the range this year is a very affordable Pinot Noir, perfect for summer drinking. Chante d’Or, St Austell Brewery’s house wine for many years, has been revisited and is a real pleaser – fresh, dry, fruity and light.

We pride ourselves on the longevity of our supplier and producer relationships. Laroche has especially stood the test of time, even with their increasing international recognition. This year sees Michel stepping down to allow the sixth generation of this family company to take the reins.

New to the list is a fresh Provence Rosé; Sables d’Azur from Gassier which comes in a delightful traditional bottle. Dry, fresh and clean, it’s delicious on a summer’s evening or with fish or ratatouille.

ALSACEIt was said that when Alsace was part of Germany, its purpose was to make the famous wines of the Rhine and Mosel look even better by producing cheap blending wines. However, since the end of the First World War, when the region became part of France, Alsace has carved a path as a producer of arresting quality wines, famed particularly for aromatic whites such as Riesling and Gewürztraminer.

In the rain-shadow of the Vosges mountains, this unique region of France is capable of producing wines that achieve higher alcohol levels – similar to those seen in the south of France – while retaining the cool, aromatic edge akin to those of more northerly regions.

This year, we are excited to take on a pair of exemplary wines from producer Michel Leon of the Arthur Metz House: a structured, citrussy Riesling and a spicy, floral Gewürztraminer. Beautifully presented in the classic Alsace flute, one of these is a must for all good lists. Also new to us is Michel Leon’s Cremant d’Alsace, to be found in our Sparkling Wine section.

AUSTRIAGrüner Veltliner continues to fly the flag for our Austrian offering. It is a grape variety that is becoming increasingly popular and as a result this superb example, with its modern and contemporary label, has led to increased interest with outlets across the South West looking to offer something with a bit of a difference.

Grüner Veltliner is Austria’s dominant grape variety and accounts for over a third of the country’s production. Austria offers a cool, continental climate, something that is being favoured by many New World producers enabling slower ripening – ideal for fresh, fruity ‘groo-vee’ for which this native grape is affectionately becoming known.

Five generations on and the family at Laurenz V are so convinced by its quality that ‘GV’ is the only grape variety they grow, enabling them to give it their undivided attention. If in any doubt as to what to expect, think of the floral perfume of a German Riesling, the refreshing zip of a Loire Sauvignon Blanc and the lusciousness of a Northern Italian Pinot Grigio.

ENGLANDThe British consumer has spent many years ridiculing wines made within our own isles but the truth is, English (and Welsh) wine production has come on leaps and bounds over recent years and the quality just gets better and better. We now boast approximately 400 producers with an annual production of 2 million bottles. Even the French are trying to buy our land, so we must be doing something right!

Our exciting new addition for 2013 is a Madeleine Angevine from Knightor, a boutique winery, located in Trethurgy, just outside St Austell. It offers a delicious, crisp dry white that is immensely quaffable and reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, showing a delicate floral and citrus character.

Two producers who continue to exemplify English wine making and remain firm favourites in the South West are Camel Valley, north of Bodmin and Sharpham, just outside Totnes. Our offering of the Lindo’s award winning wines continue to prove as popular as ever while over in Totnes, our trio of Sharpham’s outstanding wines fly the flag for Devon. All are superb to match with the fine ingredients the South West has to offer and while we become increasingly conscious of our carbon footprint, only a few ‘food miles’ are needed to get the wines to your door.

GERMANYThere are signs that German wines are being taken more seriously and that there is life beyond Liebfraumilch. The origins of German viticulture can be traced back to the Romans and it is currently the fourth largest producer of wine in the world.

Today, Riesling is largely regarded as the king of German whites. It is an extremely versatile grape which can be made in a dry form where peach and citrus notes combine to give zest and freshness, all the way through to sweet luscious pudding wines gained from late-harvested grapes. These grapes can either be affected by botrytis for extra depth of flavour, or even left on the vine until the temperature has dropped enough to lessen the water content and increase the sugar reading. We proudly offer the Kendermann range, which has won international recognition for its modernity and quality and continues to offer incredible consistency.

HUNGARYWith the help of strict legislation and investment advice from Australia and Western Europe, Hungary’s wine industry is going from strength to strength. State of the art wineries, combined with talented winemakers using international grape varieties, has led to the wines contending with the likes of France and Chile for quality and value.

Hungary lies on a latitudinal par with Burgundy, making it perfect for the cool ripening semi-aromatic and aromatic whites such as the Via Fordulo Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and the surprisingly fruity Pinot Grigio. However, an average of 2,000 hours of sunshine a year also makes for juicy reds, which the Via Fordulo Merlot demonstrates deliciously.

After four years on our list, the Via Fordulo range has certainly earned its place and gained ample support from our customers. Akos Kamocsay, the chief winemaker at Hilltop winery (following his father of the same name) is referred to as a ‘top Hungarian winemaker’ by Oz Clarke, which goes to show it’s not only us who appreciate these fresh, bright, great value wines.

ITALYItalian wines are arguably the best suited to food due to their structure and acidity, both in whites and reds. Our Barolo, dry and intense when tasted alone, softens and complements rich beef dishes as though a match made in heaven. Tomatoes, those high acidity fruits so tricky for wine matching, enjoy being paired with a minerally fruity Greco di Tufo or Frascati, or equally a fresh, tangy red such as Montepulciano or Sangiovese.

The catastrophic European harvest of 2012 almost drove suppliers to meltdown and we feared the worst. We have always worked closely with our Italian partners and in turn they have secured the juice for this year’s demands and kept prices as keen as possible.

We have strengthened our entry level with a delicious thirst-quenching Sicilian Grillo, and taken on an increasingly popular Fiano which is elegant, light and refreshing in style. Following customer requests we have added a Sangiovese from Villa Cardini to the reds, as well as a new Valpolicella from Montezovo.

PORTUGALPortugal is often overlooked as a table wine producing region in favour of its renowned fortified wines or the celebrated reds of its Spanish neighbour. Although table wine (as opposed to fortified) has been produced here for many years, it was often badly made from surplus port grapes or weak wines from underperforming cooperatives. With an array of indigenous grape varieties on offer, a climate moderated by the cooling Atlantic coast and an increasing amount of investment into the region, the production of Portuguese table wine has seen somewhat of a revolution in recent years.

Portugal can be best described in two: the north focusing on high quality, terroir driven wines, and the south with its ability to produce easily accessible, modern wines that express Portugal’s individual character. Casa do Lago, from the cooler southern regions of Lisboa, produce lighter style wines that, alongside classic Portuguese varieties, now incorporate Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in the white and red respectively, enabling easier understanding and recognition for the consumer. Irreverente, from the northern region of Beiras, is a chest-thumping, smoky red packed full of herbs and hedgerow fruits – ideal with hearty, meaty dishes.

All are wines that rarely disappoint and come into their own with a wide variety of cuisines.

PORTUGAL

PORT

Port is made by adding brandy to arrest the fermenting grape must, resulting in a wine that is sweet with high alcohol. It can be red or white and comes in many different styles, each working well with a certain budget or occasion.

White Port Made from white grapes this is golden coloured with honey and nut aromas, low in acidity with deliberate oxidation notes. It is wood matured, a couple of years old and an off dry style. Ideal with tonic, ice and a sprig of mint.

Ruby Port One of the most popular styles. Young, non vintage, full bodied with deep colour, less than 3 years old. Sweet, simple with high alcohol. Our Western Hunt Ruby Port is produced by Taylors.

Reserve Ruby A higher quality Ruby aged for no more than 5 years in cask then filtered and ready to drink. Normally made from one or two vintages, it is full bodied with integrated alcohol and a richer fruit style.

Tawny Port Aged for more than 7 years in cask, Reserve Tawny is soft, smooth and made from a blend of years. They are enjoying a surge in popularity thanks to their versatility with food and as an aperitif. The Otima 10 Year old in its clear modern bottle looks particularly attractive on any back bar.

Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Wine from a specific year that is aged in cask for 4-6 years before being filtered pre-bottling. Therefore, no need to decant. It is richer with more complex fruit than a ruby and with a detectable tannic grip. Keep for two weeks after opening. A very good all-rounder.

Crusted Port A less common style of Port that is a blend across vintages, aged in wood for just a few years and then bottled without any treatments such as filtration, hence the wines are prone to developing a crust.

Vintage Port The longest-lived wines produced anywhere from a single vintage and typically from the best vineyards. It is bottled when 2 years old. When drunk young it is full, rich and tannic. When mature (20 years +) it is smooth, soft with complex berry aromas. It throws a heavy deposit so decant and consume within a few days. We are fortunate to hold an extensive range of vintage ports from the well known port shippers; Dow, Taylor, Graham, Warre amongst others. The 1980s vintages are drinking well with 1983 being particularly youthful, and the 1985 being perfect for opening now. 1977s are still highly prized and great wines of interest.

ROMANIAFollowing the success of our Hungarian Via Fordulo range, we’ve expanded our Eastern European offering with Romania and its 6,000 years of viticultural history and a wine market worth approximately £325 million in 2011. Romania’s four main growing regions are diverse in climate and soil. Native grapes like Feteasca Neagra and Tamaioasa Romaneasca show great potential, while international varieties such as Pinot Noir, Merlot and Chardonnay are gaining reputation for quality and value.

After the fall of communism Romania worked hard to stabilise its economy, gaining EU membership in 2007. Significant outside investment led to significant changes to winemaking facilities as well as the planting of international varieties.

Halewood Romania is the leading investor with over 350 hectares under vine. The founder, the late John Halewood, saw the potential in Eastern European wines in the 70s and he’s now synonymous with the modern Romanian wine industry.

La Umbra is a range from the Halewood Estates that has gained critical acclaim, the Merlot won a Commended Medal at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards. These wines mark a new era of Romanian winemaking, combining modern techniques and international varieties with recognised tradition, and are becoming firm favourites among our customers.

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country in the world and a wine industry that stretches back over three millennia. The diversity of its regions cannot be overstated, from the deep dark giants of the Ribera del Duero to the elegant ethereal Albariños found in the cooler North West.

While the New World commands ever-higher prices, Spain seems to be enjoying a new dawn. With clever buying, it has been possible to offer great quality and real value. This has inspired two important changes – we have a delicious new Cava (see our Sparkling Wine section), both white and rosé, and a new entry point range, Tres Altas, with a Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo-Shiraz and a rosé.

The stalwart, of course, is Rioja. This region in the North East is a plateau surrounded by mountains, giving it a unique climate, and the wine has become well known (and well loved) for its maturation in French oak. Among the many Riojas on our list are Murrieta and Riscal, both regarded as the fathers of Rioja. For a slightly younger take we have the wines from Bodegas Santalba. Wine maker Roberto is much loved in the South West for his passion and knowledge, and his vineyards are certified organic. He has also developed a unique organic feeding programme in the vineyard to increase the element in the grape that encourages anti-aging. Do we need a better excuse?

SPAIN

SHERRY

Sherry is made in Andalucia in south-west Spain and centred around three main towns - Jerez, Sanlucar de Barrameda and Puerto de Santa Maria. It is one of the oldest wines, first traded with England and France in 1490. It is a very traditional drink, served in small glasses called schooners. A resurgence of these wonderful wines is underway, with several Spanish restaurants serving good sherry chilled and fresh in large glasses.

Fino A type of sherry preserved and influenced by a film-forming flor yeast. It is pale in colour, bone dry, light and 15.5% ABV with a salty almond flavour. The best commercial example of this wine is Tio Pepe. Serve chilled in a wine glass and keep open for no more than four days.

Manzanilla Similar to Fino but made in the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barrameda. The humid maritime air gives a thicker layer of flor, a slower maturation process and consequently a wine with a slightly lower alcohol content at 15%, with a saltier tang. Hidalgo’s La Gitana Manzanilla is a great example.

Amontillado Basic Fino wines become Amontillado when the flor dies and wine is exposed to oxygen. It happens automatically if fortified to 16% as the yeasts cannot survive. It tastes dry, richer and nuttier. Most are sweetened by adding the sweet sun-ripened Pedro Ximinez (PX) to the dry Amontillado.

Oloroso Matured and aged in contact with the air, it is dry, dark, nutty and 18-20% ABV.

Cream Sweetest, darkest style sherry except PX. Created by Harveys of Bristol in 1882. Harveys Bristol Cream is the most successful sherry brand in the world. It is a blend of Oloroso and PX with sweetening and colouring.

Pale cream The same as cream but with the colour removed. Croft is the most well known brand and has been successful since the 1970s.

Things have never looked better for Argentina. Demand is growing and most wine lists now show an Argentinian Malbec, with a good chance that it is also available by the glass. In fact, recent reports suggest it is the country showing the biggest growth by volume in the on-trade, with sales up 20%. Their reputation for quality is being recognised, and consumers are becoming more familiar with the regions other than Mendoza – San Juan, La Rioja and Salta to name but a few. It’s not just about their prized Malbec grape anymore, either; they are finding success with other varieties such as Chenin, Torrontes, Chardonnay, Syrah/Shiraz, Cabernet and blends.

Argentina is one of the biggest producers of wine in the world. But with 75% of the volume sold in the domestic market and more than 1500 wineries in Mendoza alone, there is no need for them to chase low prices and volume. This means we can experience Argentinian wines of true quality, personality and regionality. With dedication to supplying independents and the on-trade particularly, we predict that Argentina will grow ever stronger over the coming years, with greater representation of the diverse regions, varietals, styles and price points, and ability to pair well with food.

AUSTRALIAAustralian wines remain as popular as ever in the UK, and despite overproduction, poor exchange rates and increased competition, it always seems to bounce back. France and New Zealand are the only two countries to command a higher selling price and Australia now accounts for over 20% of the UK market share. We are also seeing an increasing demand for terroir driven wine styles along with experimentation with new grape varieties. As a result, boutique wineries are making more of an appearance, offering wines that show off their true expression and individuality.

Our Australian offering remains as diverse as ever, from the high altitude wines of Orange, in the form of Rolling and Climbing, to the charismatic wines of Simon Hackett. McHenry Hohnen and De Bortoli remain firm favourites while the ever popular Richmond Ridge (now under a new label) and Castle Creek punch well above their weight at their lower price point.

The ongoing seach for cool climate regions that seems to be becoming increasingly popular leads to Australia’s southernmost state of Tasmania, where we find the stunning wines from Devil’s Corner in the form of a Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Grigio, all well worth investigating if you haven’t already done so.

CHILEThe climate, soil and geography of Chile all lend themselves to winemaking, and the central third of the country is particularly perfect. Rain is limited to winter months, giving a long ripening season; thaw water from the Andes provides irrigation; and cooling sea and mountain breezes allow the grapes to stay on the vine longer, ripening evenly with high fruit concentration and skin pigmentation. Among others, our Urmeneta, Santa Helena and Pionero ranges demonstrate the intense berry reds and the fruity, crisp whites that are the mainstay.

Chile has approximately 118,000 hectares under vine with a 3:1 ratio of red to white grape varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon still dominates the reds with Merlot, Carmenère and Shiraz in support. For the whites, Sauvignon Blanc remains as successful as ever at providing a delicious, good value alternative to those of New Zealand and France. Un-wooded Chardonnays are now the norm, responding to the demand for a lighter, fresher style.

Despite the earthquake in 2010 and small harvest in 2011, price increases have been manageable and Chile still remains an over-performer for value. This year we add the Whistle Blower wines to our selection, a blended pair of juicy fruit wines with seriously smooth delivery at a great price: a Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon.

Whistleblower Winemaker Profile - Roberto Carranca:

The grapes used for the production of the Whistleblower wines come from a complex mixture of vineyards from several areas along the fertile Central Valley in Chile, nestled between the Andes mountain range and the Pacific coast. The vines that grow towards the Andes produce wines that are fresh and delicate such as the Whistleblower Sauvignon/Semillon, whilst those vines found closer to the coast produce wines that are more concentrated, textured and ripe such as the Whistleblower Cabernet/Merlot. In both cases, the aromas are remarkably fruity due to the temperature range between day and night.

The Chief Winemaker, Roberto Carranca who has worked for the winery for over 10 years is extremely passionate about winemaking and maintains his philosophy of intervening as little as possible in the production process and allowing a more natural course to develop. He ensures that the health of the fruit is impeccable by harvesting only at optimal maturity from areas where the soils are of rich diversity to deliver these wines, which are young, well balanced and full of fresh fruit.

NEW ZEALANDMontana’s Peter Hubscher planted Marlborough’s first Sauvignon Blanc trial vines in 1974, marking New Zealand’s relatively late entry to the world scene. Explosive recognition followed when David Hohnen (now of McHenry Hohnen wines – see our Australian section) harvested his first Sauvignon Blanc at Cloudy Bay in 1985. But the story doesn’t end there. Pinot Noir is having a massive resurgence from the intense low yielding vines of Central Otago and Nelson as well as the approachable fruit-led styles of Marlborough.

2012 was the coolest growing season in recent history, bringing yields between 10% and 40% lower than previously seen. However, the small crops and tiny berries have produced fantastic concentration of flavours, and holding off harvest for a few weeks helped sugar levels. Despite the tricky season, we have an exciting new Marlborough Sauvignon that offers superb value. It’s an exclusive label called Aroha Bay, made for us by the family-run vineyard at Spring Creek.

With the rapidly increasing interest in linking food and wine, other New Zealand success stories, like Riesling and Pinot Gris, offer a wonderful richness to accompany many dishes. For an excellent partner for scallops, look no further than our Esk Valley Chenin Blanc, and with the revival of Chardonnay, New Zealand can offer clean, fresh, elegant, rounded styles that can partner chicken superbly.

Esk Valley – Crafted New Zealand Wine

Established in 1933, the Esk Valley estate is situated in New Zealand’s picturesque Hawkes Bay region. This boutique winery specialises in varietal wines of the highest quality and is renowned for its hand-crafted premium reds and elegant whites.

As Chief Winemaker, Gordon Russell has been at the heart of the winery since 1993 and has established himself as one of New Zealand’s winemaking identities with his passionate approach to winemaking.

Grapes are sourced from both Esk’s own vineyards and from dedicated contract growers from two main regions in New Zealand. In Hawkes Bay this includes vineyards in the prestigious Gimblett Gravels region and in Marlborough, vineyards in the Awatere and Wairau Valley, which provide the fruit for their benchmark Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling.

Esk Valley is a boutique winery and is unique in that many of the techniques used are dictated by the winery itself. The old concrete vats, the layout of the buildings and the lack of modern technology mean the wines are made in simple, honest, hands on way. Traditional methods allied with modern know-how are used to make wines with texture and complexity. Small batch winemaking prevails and the 70 year old open-topped concrete fermenters are ideal for the production of hand-made red wines. The result of this passion and labour intensive approach is a range of elegant, intensely flavoured wines that are extremely food friendly.

SOUTH AFRICADespite its New World status, South Africa has real viticulture heritage, having produced wine for nearly four hundred years thanks to its introduction by the early Huguenot settlers. The conditions are incredible, with the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest yet richest of six such plant kingdoms in the world, boasting some 9,600 plant species – more than the entire northern hemisphere. The wine regions are mainly to be found in the cooler southern section of the country near the coast, where the grapes enjoy long hours of sunshine and good levels of ripeness. There are over 250,000 acres of vines planted with a fairly equal balance between red and white.

The 2012 harvest was small but superb. Lower than average rainfall in the winter followed by a cool spring led to a reduced fruit set, then the summer brought a long warm slow ripening period, all of which adds up to great ripeness at relatively low alcohol levels.

While yields are down between 10% and 50%, our long and happy relationship with Riebeek winery enables us to continue to offer some stunning wines at good prices. The Steenbok rosé and Sauvignon Blanc are both “by the glass” winners. Or if you wish to renew your faith in Chenin Blanc and would like a perfect partner for seafood try the wonderful Signal Cannon from Vondeling.

USAWith 100 grape varieties being grown in over 100 wine growing areas by over 1000 producers, the Golden State is one of the world’s most diverse wine growing regions. As a result, it offers an eclectic range of wine styles from a magnitude of different wine makers. The USA is also home to one of the UK’s most popular selling wine brands, Blossom Hill, along with some of the world’s most popular and expensive wines (such as Screaming Eagle and Opus One) showing once again the area’s incredible diversity.

Previous introductions under the USA heading have referred to the lack of quality wines in the mid-range price point and this continues to be an on-going battle. As a result, we have searched high and low, and our offering comes in the form of old favourites such as RH Phillips in various guises, along with the ever-popular Zinfandel Rosé and the very reasonably priced Rex Goliath Zinfandel (in red as its true form). Not to be forgotten are the wonderful ‘stickies’ from Quady: Elysium Black Muscat and Essensia Orange Muscat.

PROFIT CALCULATOR

To calculate your gross margin on retail price you need to multiply the ex VAT cost price by the relevant factor to achieve the inc VAT list price at that margin.

For example, to achieve 60% margin on a wine that costs £5.75 ex VAT, multiply 5.75 by 3.001 to give £17.25 inc VAT.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING

In this period of Government-led responsible drinking and increased awareness of health issues and alcohol consumption, it is important to know how many units of alcohol are in a glass of wine.

It is a simple calculation of the percentage volume alcohol times the amount of wine in litres. Thus a small glass (125ml) of Medium Dry, Cuvée Chante d’Or is as follows:

11.5% X 0.125 = 1.44 UNITSA MEDIUM GLASS (175ML) IS 11.5% X 0.175 = 2 UNITSA LARGE GLASS (250ML) IS 11.5% X 0.250 = 2.88 UNITSA SMALL GLASS OF ROLLING SHIRAZ IS 14% X 0.125 = 1.75 UNITSA MEDIUM GLASS (175ML) IS 14% X 0.175 = 2.45 UNITSA LARGE GLASS (250ML) IS 14% X 0.250 = 3.5 UNITS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Terms & Conditions of Trading1. Terms of payment

Accounts are to be paid by the 24th day of the month following the date of supply as specified on the statement. If payment is not made within the agreed credit period we reserve the right to charge interest at the rate of 3% above Barclays Bank Base Rate per month from the date on which payment falls due until the date on which payment is actually received notwithstanding that such claims to interest and/or to surcharges for non-payment may have been waived by us in the past. Any account falling overdue will not qualify for discount relating to the overdue amount and we reserve the right to re-impose without notice any discounts that have been allowed if payment is not made in full by the due date. Direct Debit facilities are available. All costs including legal fees incurred by us in collection of amounts due hereunder or in enforcing repossession under Clause 3 below will be payable by the customer. Any bank charges incurred by us, through cheques or direct debits not being honoured for any reason, will be payable by the customer. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate credit facilities at any time.

2. ClaimsAll goods should be examined at the time of delivery and any loss or damage signed for accordingly. If examination is impractical at time of delivery, please sign the delivery note and mark it ‘UNEXAMINED’. In any event St Austell Brewery/Depots must be notified of any discrepancies and/or breakages in deliveries received not later than the day following the day of delivery.

3. Title of goodsThe goods shall remain the property of the Seller ‘St Austell Brewery Co. Ltd.’ until cheques received are cleared and full payment has been received for them from the Buyer. Until such payment is received the Buyer shall hold the goods on behalf of the Seller and shall store the goods in such a way as they are identifiable as the property of the Seller. If the goods are sold before the Seller has been paid in full, the Buyer shall hold the proceeds of the sale on trust for the Seller, and such sale is only authorised by the Seller if it takes place in the ordinary course of the Buyer’s business. In the event of non-payment by the Buyer on the due date, the Seller shall be entitled to enter the premises of the Buyer and take such measures as are reasonably necessary to recover the goods. The Seller shall have absolute authority to retake, sell or otherwise deal with or dispose of all or any part of the goods in which title remains vested in the seller. The Seller shall be entitled to seek a court injunction to prevent the Buyer from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of the goods.

They will be credited in full when returned in good condition and their full value will be charged for if not returned.

5. Availability of stock, vintages and substitutionsIt is not always possible to ensure that stocks of wine in our list remain available until the publication of the next monthly amendment sheet or annual price list. If your order includes a wine which is either out of stock or discontinued we will select another wine as near as possible in style, quality and price. Similarly in the event of a vintage being out of stock the next available vintage will be sent unless we are instructed to the contrary.

6. PricesAll prices are quoted exclusive of V.A.T and are subject to market fluctuations, alterations in Customs and Excise Duties, and stocks being available.

10. Stock rotation and returnsIt is the Buyer’s responsibility to rotate products so that the oldest is sold first. No credit will be given for out of date products nor will they be exchanged. No returns of WINES AND SPIRITS will be accepted. In the instances of BEER, CIDER AND MINERALS carrying an open date, code goods must be returned in complete packs, good condition and not of mixed dates and must have the major part of their available life to run.
