STYLE GUIDE FOR WHITE AND ROSÉ WINES White 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 lean 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 Spatlese through to Eiswein; from Madeira Verdelho to Malmsey.

STYLE GUIDE FOR RED WINES All 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 - Recioto or Reserve Shiraz.

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

INTRODUCTION Welcome to our 2011 Wine Brochure. 2011 is a very special year for us as it marks the 160th anniversary of the founding of St Austell Brewery in 1851 by my great-great grandfather Walter Hicks. Walter started out as a maltster, brewer and wine merchant and we are proud that sourcing and supplying wines has played a key role in our business ever since. We are delighted to introduce our latest Wine Brochure which, following your feedback, includes full tasting notes and descriptions combined with the list prices. We hope the new format is easier to use and will help you find and select wines which are perfect for your business and your customers. The brochure includes no less than 50 new wines out of a range of 700. Each has been selected and tasted personally to reflect the ever-changing marketplace and to help ensure our wine offer ably serves all potential tastes, occasions and budgets. Indeed, many of our new wines may be considered as Entry Level and/or Wines by the Glass to supplement our comprehensive list of fine wines. We hope you enjoy browsing through the brochure and making your choices for the year ahead. When selecting your wine list or making decisions about your wine offer, it always helps to have advice from a wine specialist. Catherine, James, Louisa and Rebecca have a wealth of experience including over 63 collective years in the wine trade. They have worked in all areas of the industry including viticulture, vinification, logistics, marketing, competition judging and sales. Between the team they have visited no less than 19 wine producing countries, and have regular contact with winemakers across the globe. Each member of our Wine Development Team offers extensive knowledge and a love of wine combined with valuable insights into wine trends nationally as well as crucial local knowledge and experience of the wine trade in the South West. Please contact the Wine Development Team and they will do all they can to help ensure you create a wine list which meets your objectives and is suited to your business.

From left to right – Catherine Murden, James Fineman, Louisa Scoffham, Sean Jarvis and Rebecca Mitchell (contact details can be found on the back of this Brochure)

In conclusion we wish you all a successful 2011 and thank you as always for your custom which is much appreciated.

GREEN WINES St Austell Brewery takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously and, where possible, we have extended our sustainable principles to our buying. In these times where we are all increasingly aware of the impact we have on our environment, it is important to know which wines are produced with thought to environmental sustainability; minimal chemical intervention or with carbon-neutral production as the aim. More and more of our producers are taking Green issues seriously and are reducing chemical use; reducing the weight of glass bottles; converting to organic status and monitoring and assessing their carbon footprint. From a legislative point of view “green” labelling is a positive minefield as regulations vary from country to country and there are very many different, individual approaches. We have

G

tried to group together as far as possible the different types of ‘Green credentials’ but it is neither definitive nor exhaustive as producers’ philosophies shift and change. It is a thorny and complicated area, but I hope this helps to simplify it slightly.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC No 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. Page

MINIMUM INTERVENTION This 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. Page

CHAMPAGNE Champagne is a drink for celebrations. No matter how grand or modest the occasion, when people hear the sound of a cork popping it never fails to turn heads and bring smiles to faces. Even when times are hard and money-belts tightened, there are moments to indulge, be it a wedding, a christening, Valentine’s Day, or just a jolly good time. Do it in style. Reach for a bottle, or even a magnum, of this the most world-famous wine Champagne. The name is understood by everyone. For a great occasion, order jeroboams (4 bottles in 1). This is the wine with an answer for every celebration, and a royal wedding graces the entire year! Each grand marque, and even each small Champagne house, has its unique signature style which may have taken generations to perfect and months each year to craft. Non-Vintage Brut is the flagship of each house’s style. However, other styles include: • Rosé – pink is everywhere. These beautiful Champagnes add glamour to receptions, dining and al fresco moments. Pale salmon to crushed strawberry hues indicate whether they have been made by assemblage (blending) or saignée (bleeding-off) of black grapes. The former allows the addition of still red

wine; the latter involves extracting colour during maceration. • Vintage Brut - from the single year stated, and therefore only possible to produce in exceptional vintages. Aged for a minimum of 12 months on lees before being disgorged, and may then be aged further before it is made available for sale. • Cuvées de Prestige - the pride of any Champagne producer. Grapes are from the best vineyard sites he can source. Only realistic in very good years, but not always from a single vintage.

News Flash: the Champagne vineyard area is currently being extended with additional plantings to produce greater volumes to meet the high global demand for Champagne. These new vineyards are likely to start producing within the next few years, so there should be plenty more to choose from.

SPARKLING WINE Fizz is fun for all occasions! No one needs an excuse to reach for a glass when sparkling wine comes in so many styles and prices, and from so many countries, there are several to choose from at every level. Sparkling wine simply adds joy to any event: weddings, birthdays, promotion, romantic dinners or a win at the races! Even when the chips are down, a glass of fizz will boost morale. Sparkling wines can be more affordable alternatives to Champagne – a natural recourse in the current economic climate – and the best are very good indeed. The main styles to choose from may be labelled brut (dry), demi-sec (medium-dry to sweet) and rosé (mostly a little sweet). Don’t forget to “think pink” for spring and summer!

Browse St Austell’s extensive range noting: • TOP STARS Camel Valley Brut and Rosé – needing no introduction; • Cloudy Bay’s star Pelorus, from New Zealand; • Prosecco, from Italy, is today’s sophisticated glass of fizz – select from four options. • Cava, from Spain, is a well-known friend welcomed at any function – choose from Gran Bach Reserva NV or Freixenet’s Cordon Negro Brut NV.

FRANCE BORDEAUX Bordeaux is the birthplace of great wine, which has been valued and held in great esteem by discerning palates for centuries. Famed for its Grands Crus Classés (Great Growths), there is an air of opulence emanating from these splendid estates. Many of them are family owned, while others may be the prized possessions of international conglomerates. Yet the thousands of grape growers and wine producers of Bordeaux together produce great quantities of wine at every level of style and price: more than 22,000 vineyard owners, working 250,000 acres, producing the equivalent of 44 million 12-bottle cases of wine a year. Clearly not all this can be fine wine, but Bordeaux is the “wine region that produces more top-quality wine than any other.” (Jancis Robinson’s The Oxford Companion to Wine). Which is why wise wine drinkers have always searched here for their affordable wines for everyday drinking, as well as their top choices. They can choose from white, rosé, red and sweet Bordeaux wines spread over the 37 appellations and many sub-areas. Of course, there will always be a place for the finest wines Bordeaux has to offer - jewels in the crown of any fine-dining wine list. The best red wines of the Haut Médoc include great names from villages such as Margaux, Pauillac, St Julien and St Estephe. While St Emilion and Pomerol have an equally-devoted following for those earlier-ripening, deep lush red wines. • Left Bank – Médoc and Graves wines are typically finely-elegant, long-lived wines, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Merlot in varying proportions. They find their niche in the deep gravel soils on the southern banks of the Gironde River estuary, which flows into the Atlantic. Best-known properties: Château Lafite, Château Latour, Château Margaux, Château Haut Brion.

• Right Bank – St Emilion and Pomerol wines offer ripe, elegantly rounded wines and earthy spice. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, with less Cabernet Sauvignon, perform well in the rich clay soils deposited on the undulating plateau above the Dordogne River. Bestknown properties: Château Cheval Blanc, Château Petrus. An entry on Bordeaux would be incomplete without a mention of the classic dry white wines of the region. The temperate maritime climate of Graves and Pessac-Leognan, west of the city of Bordeaux, does well to ripen the Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris varieties, to form crisp, dry, refreshing whites with lively, zesty fruit appeal, finely aged to an air of elegance and poise. Not to be overlooked are the delicious dessert wines, the unctuous golden wines of Sauternes (including Château Yquem) and Barsac along the River Garonne upstream of Bordeaux, to the lighter sweet style of Monbazillac and Saussignac, in neighbouring Bergerac. These wines excel in long warm summers, especially when Botrytis cinerea (Noble Rot) has developed on the grapes to concentrate the ripe juices and add an extra intensity of flavour. Whether it’s a touch of class that’s required, or wine for everyday drinking, Bordeaux is your answer…

N.B. Please note that stocks of some vintage clarets are limited and therefore availability may be restricted.

Château Boyd Cantenac, Margaux £28.80 Robert Parker raved about this giving it an impressive 89. The tannins are still a little prominent, but given some time they will settle down.

FRANCE BURGUNDY Burgundy stands only behind Champagne and Bordeaux (or ‘Claret’) in the line of world wine fame. The vineyards of the region are steeped in history, having benefited from centuries of care since medieval times to perfect the art of making these fabled wines. The majority of plantings are Chardonnay for whites, and the holy grail of Pinot Noir for reds, except in Beaujolais where the grape is Gamay. Chablis is famed for its crisp, mineral wines that come from the lime-rich soil and we are always delighted to include a range of award-winning Chablis wines in our portfolio from internationally acclaimed Domaine Laroche. The reputation of Chablis in today’s keen world competition will be safe in DL’s hands. The Côte d’Or is the world’s most famous collection of vineyards. Divided into two, it comprises the Côte de Nuits to the north, which includes the villages of GevreyChambertin, Nuits-St-Georges, Aloxe Corton and Vosne Romanée, where Pinot Noir reigns supreme. The larger southern section is the Côte de Beaune including villages famed for both whites – such as Meursault, Puligny and Montrachet – and Beaune, Volnay and Pommard for reds.

names, including Domaine Chanson, Vincent Girardin, Louis Latour, Olivier Leflaive, and many others. Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais are two sub-regions lying to the south of the Côte d’Or. Their wines tend to be less expensive so are a good alternative to Côte d’Or names – these include the villages of Montagny and Rully for white, and Gevrey and Mercurey for red. Good too are Pouilly Fuissé and Macon whites. Beaujolais will always have a soft spot in our hearts. Bring back the Beaujolais run, we hear you cry! The Gamay grape expresses itself slightly differently in each of the ‘cru’ villages, with floral, fruity wines from Fleurie and Saint Amour, versus the deeper more complex wines from Morgon and Moulin-a-Vent, versus spicyG wines from the volcanic Côte de Brouilly.

We are also proud to be able to offer an extensive range of Burgundy from so many top

DOMAINE CHANSON Domaine Chanson joined the Mentzendorff portfolio in July 2002 following their purchase by the Bollinger family in 1999. With a history dating back to 1750, Domaine Chanson was founded during the reign of Louis XV. When the Chanson family took full control in the 1800s, they already had substantial holdings in Beaune, Savigny-lés-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses, which they added to the business. Ownership of some of the top Premiers and Grands Crus vineyards in Burgundy remains a priority for the house. Their 45 hectare Domaine is managed by Gilles de Courcel and his experienced, dedicated team. Winemaker Jean-Pierre Confuron of the celebrated Vosne-Romanée dynasty continues to improve quality selection of fruit and the

G

refurbished Bastion de l’Oratoire in Beaune is now home to a state of the art fermentation room as well as being the perfect environment for gentle maturation of their crus. The Chanson estate produces over a quarter of its own fruit requirements. The other grapes are sourced from growers selected according to their commitment to quality in alignment with Chanson’s quality Charter. Individual plot selection produces fruit which also remains separate through the fermentation and ageing processes. The soil is ploughed to encourage the vines to extend their roots more deeply and therefore better express the typicity of the Terroir. All the grapes are hand-picked at optimum maturity.

FRANCE RHÔNE The eastern centre of France near Vienne, spreading southwards and finishing near Avignon, is the remarkably versatile Rhône Valley. An array of reds, whites and rosés from a magnitude of different grape varieties are on offer, providing a range of wines and styles at every price. Syrah and Viognier rule the Northern Rhône where their wines often fetch prices more commonly associated with Bordeaux. Syrah shows its characteristic spice character and the likes of the rich, tannic Hermitage and the elegant Côte Rotie can age for decades. Viognier’s tropical flavours shine in its homeland and its wines can be made even more enjoyable when decanted and left to breathe, due to Viognier being one of the only white grape varieties to benefit from oxygen. The Southern Rhône relies on rather more grape varieties, where up to 13 are permitted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape! Syrah still makes the base, but with the addition of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, to name but a few. Best known for its production of red wines, the Southern Rhône also produces some

food-friendly whites and full-bodied rosés (and is home to the world’s rosé-onlyappellation, Tavel). We continue to list old favourites, such as Domaine Perrin and Louis Mousset whose examples show off the wines in all their glory. Lesser-known regions such as Gigondas (less full-bodied than Châteauneuf-du-Pape and taking less time to reach potential), and Vacqueyras (to Gigondas what Gigondas is to Châteauneuf-du-Pape), show stunning examples of what the South has to offer. Such wines are often overlooked due to the simple fact that a high GP is not viable. However if attention is focused on cash margin, the wines remain affordable to the consumer and will no doubt have them coming back for more!

FRANCE LOIRE The Loire is France’s longest river, stretching 620 miles from its source in the Massif Centrale to its mouth on the Atlantic coast at Nantes. It is the largest white wine growing region in France. Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé lead the way in the east where Sauvignon Blanc is very much at home. The lesser known area of MenetouSalon is well worth discovering: overtly fruity with a wonderful ripe tropical palate, while Sancerre shows the classic gooseberry and elderflower flavours with Sauvignon’s characteristic acidity. Pouilly Fumé shows similar flare with the addition of being slightly fuller bodied with short term ageing potential. Sauvignon’s marked acidity lends itself to accompanying a range of dishes from goat’s cheese to Asian-infused cuisine.

As the Atlantic nears, the final stop is the Nantais, home of Muscadet. Known for light, fresh wines along with wines aged sur lie (resulting in fuller body and a slightly yeasty character), Muscadet’s coastal location makes its resulting wines the perfect accompaniment to oysters and mussels.

FRANCE SOUTH OF FRANCE Incorporating Provence & Languedoc-Roussillon, the South of France encompasses a vast area where the wines on offer vary enormously in terms of style, price and quality. As in the Rhône Valley, the diversity of grape varieties on offer exceeds any other region – one small appellation allows up to 25 in one blend, making Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s permitted 13 look small in comparison! Our long-standing relationships with producers from the South continue to stand the test of time. Laroche and Laurent Miquel, to name two, continue to delight with their ability to offer fine examples of what the region has to offer. Classic grapes such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah provide what we have all come to know and love, but the more obscure Vermentino (zesty and lightly aromatic) and Terret (crisp and unoaked) make for interesting alternatives at prices that don’t deter.

The changes in the EU labelling regulations (as highlighted in our 2010 list) have enabled producers to buy in grapes from other areas than their own and also list the grape varieties on the label. The result is that wines such as Vin de France (the new Vin de Table) and Indication Geographique Protégée (the new Vin de Pays) will become more accessible and consumer-friendly, ensuring easier recognition.

ALSACE On the wine growing map of France, Alsace sits well to the north, further north than most of the Loire Valley and Chablis. Its topography however enables it to ripen wines of real seriousness and depth of flavour. The key to Alsace history, language and wine, is that it has the advantage of being sited on the French (western) bank of the River Rhine, with the Vosges Mountains behind blocking wet and cool weather patterns driven in from the Atlantic. A microclimate of warmer drier conditions is thus created under the eastern lee of the mountains, allowing full ripening of grape sugars, then fermented out to dryness, and achieving the higher alcohol content associated with French wines of 11-13%alc. This is in contrast with the lower-alcohol, delicate, zesty

wines of 8-11%alc, familiar across the river’s east bank in unprotected Germany, where residual and even added sugars are needed to balance the high acids. Historically the Alsace boundary has moved to and fro between France and Germany, which is reflected in the mix of place names, grape varieties and wine styles. Conveniently for the UK customer, the wines are named by grape variety, making them much easier to understand and remember than a profusion of German place names.

AUSTRIA Please welcome our first Austrian listing! Inspired by its recent recognition and rapidlygrowing popularity in the on-trade, Grüner Veltliner makes its debut at St Austell. With a cooler climate, like Germany and the UK, the key difference for Austria is that almost its entire land surface is as high, or higher, than our hills and mountains. These rolling sub-alpine slopes are ideal for creating a wealth of prime vineyard sites all over the Wachau, Kamptal and Burgenland, many of which are terraced. The family business of Laurenz V is a rising star in the Kamptal region, counting five generations

of wine-making experience. Their focus is firmly on Austria’s showpiece grape variety – now known as ‘GV’, or even “groo-vee” to trade fans. The ‘Friendly’ label offers an excellent introduction to GV for first-timers. Its aim is to be approachable, modernist and clearly identifiable. The wine is tantalizingly refreshing, yet soft and creamy, with a touch of spice on the finish. Time to get ‘friendly’ with a glass of GV!

ENGLAND England has been producing a little wine since medieval times. It has now, however, most definitely become an important feature on UK wine lists and is requested by more and more customers. Grapes harvested for English wine more than doubled for some in 2010, after a wet summer and warm autumn yielded a bumper crop, and England now makes around 3 million bottles a year of mostly still wine. This sounds like a lot but, to put it in context, Champagne alone makes more than 50 million bottles a year. However, planting has increased and production is continuing to grow. This is welcome news for those wishing to sample good quality local products with a low carbon footprint. Awards won by Camel Valley and Sharpham are multiplying year on year. Our brilliant

neighbours, the Lindo family at Camel Valley, have given the French a run for their money with their Camel Valley Sparkling Pinot Noir Rosé Brut 2008. It won the International Wine Challenge Trophy for Best Sparkling Rosé (in the world) last year, beating the champenoise at their own game! Meanwhile award-winning Sharpham’s Dart Valley Reserve is perfect with the superb fish we have swimming in our waters. Our neighbours across the water are most definitely sitting up, taking note and buying land!

GERMANY At last there are signs of German wines being taken more seriously. Now Germany is finally being recognised for its merits: cool climate, excellent varietal typicity, true expression of terroir, and precision winemaking thanks to centuries of expertise. There is a movement away from the German Blends such as Liebfraumilch, Piesporter & Niersteiner which have done much to diminish the following of German wines. Today, Riesling is widely recognised as the King of German Whites. Riesling is an extremely versatile grape and can express purity and complexity depending on the style in which it is made. From its driest form, where peach & citrus notes combine to give zest & freshness; to its

sweetest expression as an unctuous pudding wine full of honeyed nectar. These are wines of great poise & balance; and there is always a vein of minerality & elegance that shines through. We are pleased to offer the Kendermann range which has won international recognition for its performance in helping to promote Riesling as a single varietal wine of quality. So if you haven’t already tried it – then explore the versatility of German Riesling…

HUNGARY The old joke says that the man who enters the revolving door behind you and comes out in front is a Hungarian, to illustrate just how smart these middle Europeans are said to be. Moreover they speak an excruciatingly difficult language of the Finno-Ugric group. When Eastern Europe was at last free to trade with the West (the Berlin Wall came down on 9 November 1989), Hungary’s winemakers were certainly not slow to get to work to gain a slice of the UK’s open wine market. Good value/smart pricing was a must, but it needed dedicated winemakers like those at Hilltop Neszmèly to match the improving quality and value from France, Italy, Chile, and even New Zealand. When St Austell added Hilltop’s Via Fordulo range to the portfolio, the wines initially met with some hesitation but, over the past 18 months, they have picked up an increasingly loyal following, and these well-made wines go from strength to strength. The wines major on international (and therefore easily recognisable) grape varieties. And this surge in popularity surely highlights the ultra modern winemaking techniques that result in fresh, fruity, easydrinking and affordable wines. At the opposite end of the spectrum of style, the long-lived Tokaj (first produced two

centuries before Sauternes) remains one of the world’s finest sweet wines. Legend has it that vineyards were left unharvested due to the threat of a Turkish invasion, hence when the grapes were eventually picked (in late October) the wonderful discovery of late-harvest wine was made. The rest, as they say, is history! Tokaj Aszu 5 Puttonyos never fails to delight. It is a marvellous accompaniment to paté (or foie gras for that extra special occasion) and is one of the few sweet wines that can stand up to chocolate desserts.

ITALY Italian wine sales have continued to grow in popularity through 2010. The success train of Pinot Grigio continues to steam ahead but we are also finding growth in more interesting areas – dare it be said! Italy is at the heart of food and wine matching and, these understated, food-friendly, well-made wines, have gone from strength to strength. Note Trebbiano d’Abruzzo and Pecorino Terre di Chiete, from Collefrisio, as prime examples. The 2010 vintage was smaller than that of 2009, following loss of fruit from high rainfall throughout the year. But, after much hard work in well-run vineyards, the wines have turned out clean, fresh and balanced, not to mention well-priced. Meanwhile Sicily is coming

through as a superb alternative to the familiar fruit-driven new world reds that are offered almost everywhere. Both the Nero d’Avola and Cataratto from Il Meridione are serious over-performers.

PORTUGAL Portugal is often overlooked when people are drawn to the popular everyday wines of neighbouring Spain. Yet there may be around 800 indigenous grape varieties grown in this country – an extraordinary number – so Portugal’s modern wine story is not just about those legendary Ports. It is a fact that Portugal now creates interest and points of difference within a wine list at superb value; the country has so much more to offer than another ‘take’ on classic grape varieties. With a climate cooled by the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal’s reds are not as “heady” as many grown at similar latitudes on the hot plains of Spain, and the wines are proven recruiters of loyal customers because they

offer an interesting alternative by the glass, as well as excellent pairing with the vivid flavours of regional dishes. See how ‘Casa do Lago’ Touriga-Castelão offers delicious deep red fruits balanced with ripe tannins at a superb price. Then note the remarkable depth of flavour in ‘Irreverente’ from Beiras and its ability to ‘raise the ante’ at any feast!

SPAIN Spain’s wine list has so much to offer one barely needs to consider other countries! A gentle glass of Cava to whet the appetite; a chilled glass of Fino or Manzanilla with an olive or two; Dry White, Rosé, Red, from any of the many wine producing areas of the hills or the plains; an Oloroso to partner the cheese course; intensely sweet and raisiny Pedro Ximenez to finish off with… Need we say more? Yet Spain has a way to go before the customer feels happy ordering any wine other than a red from Rioja. The region definitely still rules the roost when it comes to Spain’s red wines. But we also have excellent representatives from Navarra, Campo de Borja, Ribera del Duero, Valdepenas, Penedes. Remember, every single one had to impress us to get a place on the list, so do allow yourself to be impressed. The whites are equally worth exploring – they each have a specific style: crisp or creamy, fragrant, or buttery oak, dry and firm, or tropical. The rosés tend to be almost dry, with a slightly more masculine style, making a real alternative for customers looking for something fresh and full

of fruit to partner meat dishes. The sherry campaign continues and, whilst progress is slow, it is definitely gaining momentum, thanks to brilliant performers like Tio Pepe Fino (Gonzalez Byass) and La Gitana Manzanilla (Hidalgo). The key is to serve sherry in a normal wine glass, serve it chilled and serve it fresh. (All opened bottles should be kept in the fridge, and no more than 4 days). As a final thought, maybe the name ‘Sherry’ should be abandoned in order to speed progress, and instead let Fino, Manzanilla, Amontillado and Oloroso roll off the tongue… See page 71 for full Sherry listing.

BODEGAS MARQUÉS DE CÁCERES Bodegas Marqués de Cáceres was founded in 1970 by Enrique Forner, a prime mover in bringing Rioja into the modern world. He acquired most of his expertise in France, mainly at Bordeaux's prestigious Haut-Médoc where his family owned two châteaux. Forner moved away from the traditional oaky style Riojas to produce wines with rich concentration and intense fruit and aromas.

LEBANON Few would expect the Lebanon to be a place to make fine wine, but the owners of Chateau Musar – Serge Hochar and his family – are passionate and stalwart, tending their vines and making wine in the estate winery close to battlefields. Shells have fallen on home, winery and vineyard, yet they have not been deterred. Frequently acclaimed during Serge’s 50 years at the helm, not merely for their courageous story, but for their achievement in making wines of real quality, style and longevity, they are undoubtedly the standard-bearers of the region

Scents of fine leather, cigarbox and dried orange peel amplify the flavour profile. Evolved, expressive, unique. (D) 13.5%vol www.staustellbrewery.co.uk

ARGENTINA As the world’s fifth-largest producer of wine, Argentina continues to grow its position in the UK market, and Argentine Malbec is a regular request from customers looking for a glass of full, deep, spicy hedgerow fruits. Often considered a hot country, Argentina’s vineyards are actually planted relatively high, between 300 and 2,400metres’ altitude, beneath the high Andes, together with the world’s largest collection of “mile-high vineyards”. Higher altitudes mean frequent clear skies and drier weather, warm days yet cooling nights, creating the perfect environment for ripening grapes. Mendoza and San Juan are the largest and most important areas.

Though the 2010 South American earthquake was centred in Chile, its effects were felt in Argentina as well, if not to the same detrimental extent. We are finding sales of Argentine wines going from strength to strength. The pair from Bodegas Borbore – ’Martin Fierro’ Chardonnay/Chenin and the Syrah/Cabernet – are superb house wines and, for true polished style, the Bodegas Terrazas Malbec Reserva is hard to beat.

AUSTRALIA It has been said that our Australian offering is too extensive and too repetitive. We took this as positive advice and considered skimming off a layer of slower-selling wines. But as we analysed each wine we realised nearly all the wineries represented in our list have a place and purpose there, and so for the time being they’re staying put – much to our delight. This outcome neatly reflects the changing nature of Australia’s market position. Tom Stevenson stated firmly in his Sotheby’s New Wine Encyclopaedia: “Australian wines have been firm favourites with British consumers since 1985.” Tom was marking the era of Australia’s world-beating progress over the UK’s traditional wine suppliers – especially France – at all quality levels. And so it continued until after the millennium. But in this last decade the terrible fires struck, water shortages and irrigation costs rocketed, while supermarket demands for cheaper blends to be bottled in the UK ate up profit margins. Now Australia’s strong exchange rate has swung against the easy sales, and Constellation Wines have sold their biggest Australian brands back to Australian wine companies. So after the

recent years of success with entry-point wines, Australia is now stepping up to focus on regionality – those wonderful wines from Margaret River in Western Australia, Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Yarra Valley in Victoria, Barossa, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley in South Australia, among others. The quality of these wines is staggering and keeps Australia firmly in the spotlight of world wine production and with listings in the UK on-trade. And these are what we list. We also have a pair of newcomers: a pricefighting Chardonnay and Shiraz from South East Australia, called ‘Gulara’, aimed at those outlets wanting a modern, eye-catching label on the back bar and a well-priced quaffing wine. Bottom’s up.

CHILE The devastating earthquake in February 2010, and the drama of the 33 trapped miners from August to their release 69 days later in mid-October, kept Chile in the headlines last year. So what did it mean for wine? “Rivers of wine” were reported cascading down the streets, as huge vats collapsed under pressure of the earth’s movements. At first enormous price hikes were feared, with concern for damage to Chile’s excellent reputation for quality and value, but increases were finally manageable. Phew! How did the earthquake and miners’ rescue affect the wine market? According to Tesco, sales of Chilean wine increased over 300% on the day the 33rd miner was lifted to the surface. A heart-warming response from UK wine drinkers. St Austell has always been a strong supporter of Chilean wine – good quality for solid value

– and we are further expanding our range this year. At the entry point we have a new range called ‘Urmeneta’, available in six varieties, and a new addition to our popular ‘Santa Helena’ range: a Carmenère. At the mid-price point is our new ‘Pionero’ range from Vina Morãndé, including an excellent Pinot Noir for the price.

VIÑA MORANDÉ It is good to have a dream! Pablo Morandé’s dream was realised in 1996 when the Yarrur family bought into it. Together they pioneered the Casablanca region to the north-west of Santiago – a cool climate area which they have planted with the largest single estate of high-density vineyard in the world – Belen. The name of their core range is called Pionero to celebrate Pablo, the Pioneer! They own over 600 ha of vines at Belen and also with much older, established vineyards in the Maipo and Rapel Valleys www.staustellbrewery.co.uk

G

and their production and storage facility in Pelequen boasts 800,000 litres of barrel capacity. Morandé are focused on making premium wines to complement food, focussing on elegance and balance. They even have their own restaurant on the road between Santiago and Belen, called House of Morandé. Accordingly, in the UK, the Morandé brand is sold only in the on-trade where their true quality can shine through in the right context.

NEW ZEALAND New Zealand is a relatively late comer to the top table of world wine production, since Montana’s Peter Hubscher only planted the first Sauvignon Blanc trial vines in Marlborough in 1974. Explosive recognition may be said to have followed when David Hohnen harvested his first Sauvignon Blanc at Cloudy Bay in 1985, and the whole beautiful wine story of these islands took flight. Sauvignon Blanc continues to epitomise everything that we have come to love about New Zealand wines. While Marlborough leads the way in Sauvignon production, other regions – like Central Otago’s even later Pinot Noirs – have left us in no doubt that the quality of New Zealand’s wines continues to go from strength to strength. After having created such demand for its wines, New Zealand’s increase in plantings (43% in vineyard area since 2003) was overcome by bad weather and reduced yields. To add more misfortune, the credit crunch took hold after a record-breaking 2008 harvest and New Zealand was looking at the problem of over-supply for the first time in its history. After many rich deals appearing in the off trade, producers had offloaded the majority of the oversupply. To help further, 2010 has proved to be another superb vintage and

consumers are still enjoying the many marvellous wines. Our New Zealand offering remains as strong as ever, with the old favourites staying firmly in place and newer additions proving increasingly popular and very much in demand. As well as the ever-popular Marlborough region (north end of South Island), other regions continue to shine, whether it be the world’s most southerly grown grapes in Central Otago, to Hawkes Bay’s claret style reds.

ESK VALLEY Established in 1933, the Esk Valley estate is situated in New Zealand’s picturesque Hawkes Bay region. As Chief Winemaker, Gordon Russell has been at the heart of the winery since 1993 and has developed a range of classic wines that have built up a very loyal following over the years. The grapes are selected from their vineyards in Hawkes Bay, including the prestigious Gimblett Gravels region, and in the case of the Sauvignon Blanc and NEW 2010 vintage Riesling, vineyards in the Awatere and Wairau Valley in Marlborough. Esk Valley is a boutique winery, but it is unique in that many of the techniques used are dictated

54

www.staustellbrewery.co.uk

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 a simple, honest, hands on way. The result of this passion and labour intensive approach is a range of elegant, intensely flavoured wines that are extremely food friendly. The Esk Valley range is diverse and also includes more unique varieties such as Chenin Blanc (awarded Gold Medal at the Sommeliers Awards 2010), Pinot Gris and a trophy winning Rose. Gordon is still perhaps best known though for his elegant, Bordeaux blend reds, so be sure to have a look at these wines too.


SOUTH AFRICA Cape vineyards enjoy long sunshine hours and achieve good levels of ripeness in a range of grape varieties. Both red and white grapes are able to perform well. Main white varieties are Chenin Blanc, brought over from the Loire by early French Huguenot settlers, Chardonnay performs well in either oaked or unoaked styles, and Sauvignon Blanc can exhibit tropical flavours due to the prolonged ripening. Red varietals respond to the Cape’s warm sun: smooth succulent Merlots, vibrant Cabernets, spicy Shiraz and earthy Pinotage – South Africa’s very own grape variety, created by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsaut vines. Our GoldCoast range, introduced in 2009, has received great support. It has been developed by a local South African community project

which benefits from the sale of each bottle, enabling members to buy shares in the vineyard and winery. The project encourages the community to learn how to plant and prune the vines, harvest the grapes, and help with the vintage in the winery. A worthy cause – so please continue to enjoy GoldCoast!

USA Considering the USA is one of the largest producers of wine, it’s odd that it doesn’t much feature on wine lists. The problem lies with the vast spectrum of cheap to expensive wines, with not a lot in the middle. The cheaper tend to be mass-produced supermarket brands, mostly for sweeter palates (think ‘Blush’ for instance), and the better wines are priced for a very loyal and well-informed, well-heeled home market that appear seriously expensive to UK wallets. This often makes them out of bounds to all but premium restaurant wine lists. But we continue to fly the flag for California with the full R H Phillips range, which does manage to fit the mid-price point that is so rare from California. The Merlot is especially delicious with a real velvet chocolatey smoothness. Our Zinfandel from Ironstone continues to ably represent this once-considered-native variety (now known to be a relation of Croatia’s Plavac Mali), and the

following for Quady’s luscious dessert wines goes from strength to strength. ‘White Zinfandel’ has recently been ruled an incorrect usage, due to Zinfandel being a red grape, not white. From the 2009 vintage all new labels need to show the grape as Zinfandel Rosé, not White Zinfandel. So don’t be alarmed when you can’t find that popular sweet pink wine, it’s the same, just a different name.

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.

WINES BY THE GLASS ROUTE TO A PERFECT SELECTION OF WINES BY THE GLASS Opening bottles of wine and sharing them between customers can bring about a sea change in the type and volume of wine sales. Most people are already offering wines by the glass as a matter of course, but the selections could always be wider and there are usually some quality control steps that should be taken. Let’s start with the benefits. Clearly buying a glass of wine is an easy decision to make, on a par with a glass of beer or spirits. If the choice of wines is widened beyond the basics it can quickly become an interesting browse, not only for individuals, but for a group experimenting over a meal. If choice is not just wider, but changes frequently, the wine glass list can become a specific point of interest. In some cases it may even become a destination incentive. The implications for wine sales - whether in the bar or for dining - are all good news. Importantly, with a choice of wines by the glass customers are free to choose several wines. Different wines can be ordered by diners eating both meat and fish. The non-driving diner does not have to drink beer. In a group, every drinker is free to choose a different wine. The need for two more glasses does not require the major decision to buy another bottle. Everyone relaxes. How many wines are needed? Six is probably the minimum; 8 is better; 10 is a good spread, if you have the turnover. This is assuming a mixed bar and dining. Greater numbers may be handled by well-staffed specialist premises and top class dining operations. What is needed? Good deep-bowled stemmed glassware, of 125ml, 175ml and 250ml; standard trade bar measures of 125ml, 175ml and 250ml; enough fridge space for opened bottles; a wine preservation system; and staff training. Wine smells and tastes demonstrably better in larger glasses. Using the 125ml measure it is possible to serve sherry and port in the larger glasses and these wines too will benefit. Offering the 250ml glass option, in addition to 175ml, will increase sales and profit without any more investment than those few glasses. Wine preservation is a worthwhile investment because it gives customers confidence in the wines’ quality. It should also prevent wine waste. There are three main systems: a new product called ‘Presorvac’, which electronically sucks air out of the bottle and seals it (under £200); the ‘Verre de Vin’, which replaces air with inert nitrogen, (under £2,000, and probably the best option for sparkling wines); and ‘Cruvinet’, which is a large installation of handsome steel-and-glass wall cabinets of open wine bottles on optic, automatically filling the air space created with nitrogen in a closed system (£5,000 and up). Domestic manual systems, such as Vacuvin, are entirely unsuited for commercial use. 100% staff training is absolutely essential to ensure that whatever system is employed is used well. So much for nuts and bolts. But the heart of a good ‘wine by the glass’ offer is making the wines perform as stars. There is nothing wrong with a printed annual list of wines available by the glass. But it does miss many opportunities if it is not regularly supplemented by other wines. The ‘by the glass’ offer is a stage on which the rest of the wine list can perform. A new wine may be launched by the glass for a few introductory days or weeks. Present new rosés in the spring. Bring out that terrific Shiraz. Show the new vintage Beaujolais cru. Offer the Sancerre by the glass, as a change from Chile and New Zealand. Don’t forget dessert wines – they deserve to see the sun too. It is only necessary to sell three glasses (of 175ml) for the bottle to be paid for and the remaining one-and-a-half glasses may make a gift to a valued customer, or be used for staff training so they can sell that wine on with confidence. Do not be tempted to treat glass sales as a way of clearing old and tiring stock. But if circumstances are right, it can also be an excellent way of helping stock turn. There are many ways to keep wines parading in front of customers. It will generate interest; it will show the business is interested in wine, and choice, and change. And that interest is the customers’ best guarantee of quality. They will keep coming back.

THE IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY, SERVICE AND VALUE Just because we’re in a recession, does it mean we have to stay at home to drink and eat? Not so! People get bored of their four walls; they want to go out, see what’s going on, what’s new. And everyone has a birthday. However, if and when they do go out they want reliable service, quality and value for money (this does not necessarily mean cheap). They don’t want to have to cook or clean. Instead they want the satisfaction of choice and a memorable experience. This year it will be key for all outlets – whether pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels – to maintain the highest possible standards and offer quality coupled with good service so that when people are venturing out, they choose their venue based on the decision factors of quality, service and perceived value. So how should quality, service and value be achieved? Costs are rising, no thanks to exchange rates, VAT up to 20% and duty hikes, but compromising on quality is commercial suicide. If people are out for a special meal they would rather pay slightly more knowing they will get guaranteed quality rather than an average meal, money wasted and a disappointing experience. Look at portion control and margins on food. With regard to drinks and wine in particular, be aware of margins but also consider cash margins. For example, selling a wine at £18.65 on a 63% margin will prove more successful than selling the same wine at £21.56 for a 68% margin. This would also enable the wine to be served by the glass at £4.95 for 175ml which in turn generates a higher margin of 65%. At this price the cash margin may make a greater contribution to profit than cheaper wines sold at a higher percentage margin. Glass sizes are another area for offering choice and perceived value. The Government has now passed legislation requiring the offering of a 125ml glass size for all wine in all on-trade outlets. A benefit to outlets and customers alike, no extra glassware is required, just the measures of all three measurements, 125ml, 175ml and 250ml.. No training is required, just ask staff to offer ‘small, medium or large’. A 125ml of 12.5% ABV wine is 1.5 units – within the boundaries for driving and safe daily recommended intake guidelines. The outlet is promoting responsible drinking, a move that would only be looked on favourably by governing bodies. Lastly and most importantly for the outlet, there are very healthy margins to be made – approximately 4% above the margin for the larger glass sizes. The customer meanwhile sees a glass of wine at a very affordable price and can experience a range of wines and white wine that remains fresh and cool to the end. Lunchtime is when the 125ml really comes into its own. In recent months, as trade quietens down, several outlets have opted to reduce their wine list by half. This makes sense, however, it is key to continue to offer choice at varying prices. Five white and five red wines are sufficient to offer a range of countries, grapes, styles and prices but consider offering all or nearly all of the wines by the glass. This offers the customer a choice, the option to trade up and have a better experience (see our Wines By The Glass section on page 85). Staff training is of course of utmost importance. If staff have better product knowledge they will derive more job satisfaction. They will converse with customers, suggest products new or unknown to the customer, up-sell, and in turn, potentially gain more in tips and generate higher turnover for the outlet. They can also help reduce wastage by suggesting the wine they know still has two glasses remaining. This is a trade with renowned high staff turnover, especially in a region as seasonally sensitive as the South West, so continual training is recommended. As a final thought, if a customer is sitting comfortably, enjoying the surroundings and the product, having to get up to go to the bar and re-order may just be enough to make them consider leaving or going elsewhere. Table service is a great way to keep ‘bums on seats’ and generate income. If it is quiet and there are sufficient staff members on shift then table service can only benefit the outlet. This is going to be another hard year but with careful monitoring of selling prices, margins, product offering, staff knowledge and service then it doesn’t need to be all quite so tough. And if praying for good weather is not a sure-fire way of guaranteeing business (although fingers crossed!) then the rising costs of overseas travel and the weak pound should be enough to bring people to the South West.

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 Wilson’s Quay White is as follows: 11.5% X 0.125 = 1.44 UNITS A MEDIUM GLASS (175ML) IS 11.5% X 0.175 = 2 UNITS A LARGE GLASS (250ML) IS 11.5% X 0.250 = 2.88 UNITS A SMALL GLASS OF ROLLING SHIRAZ IS 14% X 0.125 = 1.75 UNITS A MEDIUM GLASS (175ML) IS 14% X 0.175 = 2.45 UNITS A LARGE GLASS (250ML) IS 14% X 0.250 = 3.5 UNITS
