As usual, there are a swathe of wines that I wouldn\u2019t normally encounter. We are creatures of habit, and I confess that I like to be steered in the direction of \u2018new\u2019 wines\u2026but am unsure if I\u2019d find my way there under my own steam! For example, I\u2019m known to enjoy Grenache from Australia, and have written about the specifics of Chenin Blanc on my website in recent months &#8211; but how many examples would I naturally find myself drinking? Possibly not as many as I should.<\/p><p>Laithwaites have a great selection from far-flung corners of the wine-producing world. All you have to do is browse the website and pick a few. Or go for a selection box where the decisions are made for you. That\u2019s not unlike what happens to me, and I\u2019m always happy with what arrives. The latest box will be split into two halves &#8211; here are the first seven wines; and there will be eight more to consider next week. Christmas is on the horizon and it is about time to stock up. Happy hunting!<\/p><p><b>Citrus &amp; Vine Chenin Blanc 2025<br \/><\/b>Chenin Blanc is arguably South Africa\u2019s definitive varietal &#8211; this example comes from the Western Cape region. Perfumed with red apple, lemon peel, grapefruit, guava, jasmine and honeycomb. Quite rich in style, with plenty of juicy ripeness to the fruit, carried on a zesty acidity. The soft and creamy texture adds breadth before a finish that is clean, pure and with just a little spice. A simple to understand and easy to like white wine &#8211; try it as a change to Pinot Gris or Chardonnay. <b>89pts<\/b><\/p><p><b>Hot Seat Sauvignon Blanc 2024<br \/><\/b>This varietal has a place in New Zealand customer\u2019s hearts, but it is good to try what other places are doing with this classic grape. When one wins awards, such as a Double Gold medal from CWSA, then it is definitely worth a look. Brimming with fresh fruits &#8211; blackcurrant, guava, passionfruit and citrus and greener notes of capsicum and pea pod. High acidity and bags of bright, easy to understand, refreshing flavours. <b>88pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-68f4c1e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"68f4c1e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3232c6c\" data-id=\"3232c6c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5217c1 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a5217c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-22eea0d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"22eea0d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c6bf38\" data-id=\"4c6bf38\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d5a4e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8d5a4e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Thistledown \u2018Gorgeous Grenache\u2019 Ros\u00e9 2025<br \/><\/b>Colour in ros\u00e9 wines is really important to the customer. And this pale coral pink example is right on the money in terms of what leaps off the shelf for ros\u00e9 buyers. Good fleshy weight to the both the bouquet and the palate. Both show red berry notes and there is a nibble of both sweetness and tannin &#8211; balancing each other and underlining the ripe fruit. The finish has a juicy, refreshing edge, but is drier and shows persistence. <b>89pts<\/b><\/p><p><b>Way &amp; Cat Grenache 2024<br \/><\/b>Grenache can be made in a range of styles from lighter chill-able reds for summer; to big, full-flavoured expressions taking inspiration from the Southern Rh\u00f4ne. This wine from South Australia is one of the latter. A deep garnet red, with a touch of pink, colour, with vivid aromas of raspberry, black cherry, bramble, cinnamon and white pepper. Medium-bodied to taste, with smooth tannins, and integrated acidity through the palate. <b>90pts<\/b><b><\/b><\/p><p><b>Ch\u00e2teau Maine d\u2019Arman 2019<br \/><\/b>A red blend from the C\u00f4tes de Bourg on the Bordeaux right bank, where many smaller, family-owned wineries make excellent quality (and value) wines. The majority is Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc filling it out. Red fruits dominate the bouquet, with an earthy minerality also present. Robust, with firm tannin and savoury, smoky notes of incense, peat and tapenade alongside those fleshy fruits. The back of the palate shows more richness, with a dense velvet texture. <b>90pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1dae06d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1dae06d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dc787f8\" data-id=\"dc787f8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c7fb96 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4c7fb96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9c72c5f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9c72c5f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce9e355\" data-id=\"ce9e355\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bb4426 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2bb4426\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Dog Ridge Original Plantings Shiraz 2021<br \/><\/b>A Shiraz made from vines planted in the 1940s in McLaren Vale, South Australia. A dense, dark red colour in the glass, with bold aromas of Boysenberry, damson, cherry and black pepper that speak of the place that this wine was grown. The signature milk chocolate note of the sub-region is also here, nestling into the ripe juice. Bold tannins and a slice of toasty oak add weight and depth, whilst bright acidity gives good flow through the palate. <b>89pts<\/b><\/p><p><b>Blackstrap Cabernet Sauvignon 2022<br \/><\/b>A wine hailing from the South Australia sub-region of McLaren Vale with hallmark Cabernet style. Dark fruits of blackcurrant, bramble, plum and cherry mingle with a pencil-shaving graphite, bay leaf and olive notes. Well-structured, with spicy oak and fine, chalky tannin. Full-bodied and intense, revelling in its inky, dark depths &#8211; this is one for a thick steak off the BBQ, or to sit and contemplate on the last of these winter evenings.
