Given that we're constantly asked what our favourite wines are, we've started putting together our Ultimate Wine List - which is basically a list of the best wines from every region across the world. We're keeping the list to one wine from each producer and sometimes it may not even be the producer's top wine that makes the list but we'll explain our reasons for each wine as we go along. And, please note, it's not only wines that we stock - it's an ever evolving list of wines that deserve their place.
We'll post all the wines on Instagram (@elementarywine) if you wish to follow but please do check back here as we add the latest wines each month.
No. 3 - Chateau Simone Palette Blanc (Provence, France) - one of France's great gastronomic wines and still a relative secret, this is a Clairette dominated blend that drinks beautifully. Full of stone and tropical fruits with a creamy note running through, it's long, complex and delicious. Worth seeking out.
No. 2 - Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz (Hunter Valley, Australia) - an Australian icon, this has a brilliant balance between ripe fruit and leathery, savoury notes which develop wonderfully over the years. Rightly considered one of Australia's top wines.
No. 1 - Restless River Ava Marie Chardonnay (Hemel en Aarde, South Africa) - if there's a better South African Chardonnay out there, then please let us know. This is a beauty (from a stunning location - see below) and relatively well priced for the quality. Available here.
