The 6 Nations Wine Selection with Fizz is the perfect wine selection to have in your wine rack this February. It contains two delicious Sauvignon Blancs from the Loire in France, a Sparkling Wine from England which easily rivals Champagne in terms of quality and value for money, a fine and elegant Cotes du Rhone made by 2 Irish men (and a French!), and a deliciously juicy Organic Sangiovese from Italy.

 

Rathfinny 2018 Classic Cuvee, England

Produced using the classic Champagne grape blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, this Classic Cuvée from Southern England can easily be mistaken for Champagne. It spends 36 months on lees which helps develop the rich and creamy texture, which is then layered with flavours of apples, tangerines, grapefruit, summer fruit sorbet and buttered brioche.

Les Rafelieres Sauvignon, Loire, France
A new one for us, this Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeously ripe and juicy with flavours of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples backed up by irresistible juicy acidity. Enjoy this with or without food, its so verstaile that it is one of the wines that can be enjoyed with a huge range of food. My personal favourite with this is to enjoy it with a roast chicken.

Produced in Loire, which is the home town of Sauvignon Blanc, our house wine is easy to see why it is so popular.

Cantina dei Colli Ripani, Organic Sangiovese, Italy

Medium bodied Sangiovese (the principle grape in Chianti), with dark cherry fruit and perfectly ripe plums.
Cantina dei Colli Ripani is on the Adriatic coast in the Marche region. The first vintage here was 1977 and they have embraced both forward thinking strategies as well respect for the land and their they now use organic methods and renewable energy from solar panels at the winery. At 500 meters above sea level, the grapes have both intense ripe fruit and fine structure and acidity.
Les Deux Cols, O Font, Cotes du Rhone 2022
Vibrant red in colour, with aromas of red and black cherries, plums and black olives. This medium bodied red has a silky texture, fine tannins and a fresh acidity. Perfect with grilled lamb cutlets, or roast pork loin.
A gorgeous wine produced by icons of the Irish wine industry in France; Simon Tyrrell and Gerard Maguire are joined by Charles Derain for this exciting wine project in the Cotes du Rhone.
