Sommelier's Choice; Wine of the Winter

Winter is all about full bodied and familiar expressions so what better example of this is there than a good bottle of vin rouge. There is little better than a Bordeaux / Claret so I present to you th

e Domaine du Seuil. This silky smooth red combines more of an oaky complexity than most other wines but does it in a way that makes it acceptable to every table. The ripe and spicy nose carries through to the palate and is beautifully balanced by plum and cedar wood flavours.


It also carries a pretty interesting story in that it is owned by a Welsh man Bob Watts who has a little vineyard in the French region but distributes all over the world. As a result the bottle carries the welsh dragon on the label just under the picture of the vinyard.


Buy it for: Yourself damnit!
