  • Bottle of Californian red wine from Smoking Loon with label
    Item no.: 059763-615-606

    The name is a wry nod to the sometimes overly solemn California wine scene - Smoking Loon doesn't take itself too seriously, but there's nothing to laugh at in the bottle.

    Expert's Description

    Smoking Loon The Original Pinot Noir is a Californian Red Wine from California in the USA made from 100% Pinot Noir, bottled at 13.5% ABV.

    The Original is the house's foundation cuvée and an approachable introduction to the Pinot Noir grape, otherwise known for being notoriously fussy to grow. California's sunny climate gives the grapes the ripeness needed for a full, fruit-driven style - without the complexity that can make the grape intimidating for beginners.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Brilliant garnet colour accompanied by a seductive aroma of rose petals and green tea.

    Palate

    Deeply extracted cherry and strawberry flavours, with a light tannic edge reminiscent of pomegranate seeds.

    Finish

    Fresh and fruity, of moderate length.

    Serving & Food Pairing

    Serve at 14-16°C in a red wine glass. The wine pairs well with grilled chicken, duck and lighter meat dishes, or can be enjoyed on its own.

  • Bottle of Danish red wine from Årø Vingård with dark red label
    Item no.: 059666-96322

    Out in the Lillebælt strait, where the current splits Haderslev Fjord from Assens, lies Årø – 600 hectares of Danish island life, with fewer than 200 year-round residents, apple trees and salt air. This is where the grapes for this red wine grow, and 2018 was one of the years the Danish summer truly delivered.

    Expert's Description

    Årø Vingård Rødvin 2018 is a Red Wine from Årø in Denmark made from Léon Millot, Rondo and Regent grapes, bottled at 12% ABV.

    The vineyard was founded in 2004 by Svend Aage, who planted the first 125 vines after visiting a winegrower in Christiansfeld. By 2007 it had grown to 2,200 vines, and bottles went on sale from 2008. Today it's Jakob and Lisbeth Leij who run the place – they took over just before the 2015 harvest and have since expanded to 5,600 vines, alongside 1,200 apple trees. Léon Millot, Rondo and Regent are hybrid varieties bred to cope with the Danish climate, and together they produce a red wine with more colour and body than you might expect this far north. 2018 was a warm vintage in Denmark, and the wine's ripeness shows it.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Blackcurrant and blueberry lead the way, with a touch of cherry stone and a faint, toasted note from the subtle oak influence.

    Palate

    Light yet surprisingly full-bodied – the berry character carries through, the tannins are soft and well judged, giving a pleasant structure without ever feeling heavy.

    Finish

    Clean and fruity, with a calm trail of dark berries and a discreet hint of oak.

    Serving & Food Pairing

    Serve at 16-18°C in a standard red wine glass – no decanting needed. It pairs well with lighter grilled dishes, poultry and veal, but also works nicely on its own after dinner. Drink it now for the fruit-forward style, or give it 1-3 years and it opens up a little further.
