INTRODUCTION<br />

NEW FINDS AND WINES TO LOOK OUT FOR<br />

Welcome to the <strong>Classic</strong> Vintners Wine Portfolio<br />

for 2012/13.<br />

In this year’s Portfolio, we have introduced many new<br />

wines that are exclusive to <strong>Classic</strong> Vintners and also<br />

exclusive to Bars, Restaurants and Pubs.<br />

Feedback from our customers told us that there was an<br />

increasing demand for more premium quality House<br />

wines, both traditional varietal wines and also more<br />

unusual and interesting varietals that match really<br />

well with a wide range of foods.<br />

I have selected three new ranges of premium quality<br />

House wines, from Spain, Italy and France that I am<br />

sure you will find of interest.<br />

Spain<br />

All 3 wines come from the Campo de Borja region in the North of<br />

Spain, sitting just below the Rioja region.<br />

Campo Castillo Garnacha red – full flavoured red but with soft<br />

tannins and ripe fruit flavours.<br />

Campo Castillo Viura white – delicious minerally white wine, dry<br />

but with excellent fruit flavours and balance.<br />

Campo Castillo Garnacha Rose - really fruity rose with lots of<br />

strawberry fruit character.<br />

Italy<br />

Villa Calvino Sangiovese red (from Puglia) – full flavoured red,<br />

great with rich tomato or bolognese sauces. Produced from the<br />

same grape variety as Chianti.<br />

Villa Calvino Catarratto white (from Sicily) – lovely aromatic<br />

dry white with delicious peachy fruit character.<br />

Villa Calvino Chiaretto rose (from Piemonte) – subtle dry rose<br />

but with excellent fruit and good length of flavour.<br />

Other finds to look out for in this year’s Portfolio<br />

Chile – Santa Alicia Reserva Sauvignon, Carmenere and a really<br />

delicious Malbec.<br />

South Africa – Red & White Rhino varietals from a<br />

winery that supports the Save the Rhino International Charity<br />

with contributions from its sales of Rhino wines.<br />

Also an excellent range from Franschhoek Estate – Shiraz, Merlot<br />

& Sauvignon Blanc.<br />

Australia – new range from the excellent Grant Burge winery<br />

in Barossa - Shiraz, Chardonnay and Rose.<br />

France – Pinot Noir and Viognier from Lunes Estates in the<br />

Languedoc, a stunning Corbieres from Castelmaure and Picpoul<br />

de Pinet from L’Ormarine.<br />

Italy – super Barolo from Fontanafredda and delicious Gavi<br />

from La Luciana.<br />

Spain – full flavoured rich red from Bodegas Lozano in<br />

La Mancha.<br />

New Zealand – fine stylish wines from Esk Valley –<br />

Sauvignon and a great Merlot/Cabernet/Malbec blend<br />

I do hope you find plenty of interest in this year’s Wine Portfolio.<br />

THE<br />

WORKING<br />

RELATIONSHIP<br />

Producing your wine list together to increase<br />

your profits...<br />

Creating the correct wine offer for your outlet is one of<br />

the most important things you can do. Your wine<br />

choices represent you and your business; the wines you<br />

offer should always be chosen with delighting your<br />

customer in mind.<br />

That’s why at <strong>Classic</strong> Vintners we provide help and<br />

support through all stages of your list. We see it just<br />

like building a relationship.<br />

1. The first date Get in touch, and someone from <strong>Classic</strong> will<br />

come and see you at a time to suit you, this will be at your venue.<br />

We will chat with you about your business, your customers, your<br />

current wine offer, and basically get to know you. In return all we<br />

ask is that you put the kettle on! Don’t worry if you have limited<br />

wine knowledge, our team have great knowledge, if you do know<br />

lots about wine, that’s great too, we love talking about wine.<br />

2. The proposal After getting to know you and your business<br />

we will make a proposal, don’t order the hat just yet though, there’s<br />

still a long way to go! The initial proposal may sound like, would<br />

you like me to recommend like for like wines on your existing<br />

offer? Would you like us to refresh your list by introducing some<br />

new categories and keeping what works, or do you want to work<br />

together on building an offer from scratch to really maximise your<br />

offer? Often we end up doing a bit of all 3, it’s at this point we start<br />

to talk about money! Don’t worry its not going to cost you anything,<br />

here’s where we will talk you through the different margin<br />

opportunities to think about when doing the list, we do hundreds<br />

of lists every year so the team will be able to share lots of best<br />

practice and ideas. We have pre designed suggested lists for spicy<br />

foods, hotels, wedding venues etc. just to help the process along.<br />

3. Planning the Wedding A stressful time for many, but not<br />

when working with wine, this is when you get to start tasting. If you<br />

are unsure about any of the wines the team will taste them with<br />

you and give you information on the product and profitability.<br />

With your <strong>Classic</strong> contact you will start to work on the layout of<br />

the list, How many bins, red, white, rose split, House selections, by<br />

the glass offers, tasting notes, pricing. You will have 100%<br />

autonomy over what price you charge, our team will make<br />

suggestions about what GP to aim for and what cash per bottle you<br />

can command, they will share best practise from other customers<br />

on how to make wine more profitable. You will be surprised<br />

what a few tips on pricing, layout and selection can do for your<br />

bottom line.<br />

4. Choosing the theme and making initial commitments<br />

Once we know the range and pricing that are right for the business<br />

we can start to look at the design of the actual list. The look and<br />

feel of your wine list is key, lots of customers will interact with it so<br />

it’s important that it’s designed with them in mind. We have our<br />

own in house design team that enables us to meet your needs and<br />

wow your customers, we will have examples of previous lists to<br />

share or we can work up a design totally from scratch, don’t worry<br />

too much if you don’t have a design degree, again our team are<br />

very experienced and will make sure you and your customer get<br />

what they want. You can list by country, by grape varietal or even<br />

by style. There’s no problem reproducing lists from other printers.<br />

5. The rehearsal and last minute jitters It’s nearly the big<br />

day, we will get proofs to you of your list, you can still make last<br />

minute changes, maybe a price tweak here and there or an<br />

additional wine that your customers have requested can still be<br />

included. At this stage, or more usually after a change we can also<br />

offer staff training, this will really focus your team on up selling the<br />

more profitable wines in your cellar by communicating with<br />

customers and recommending wines.<br />

6. The big day You have your new list, your new wines and<br />

you’re ready to go! It won’t be the last you see of <strong>Classic</strong> drinks<br />

though, we will continue to call on and support your account<br />

taking you through the latest trends and recommending wines of<br />

the month that you in turn can recommend to your customer, we<br />

will let you know about any additions to our portfolio too.<br />

7. The Anniversary It’s always a good idea to keep refreshing<br />

your list and after a year that’s exactly what we would like to do,<br />

check your margins, check your volumes and look at any changes<br />

that will add value to what you do. We look forward to many<br />

happy anniversaries with you as our partner.<br />

Remember, we don’t have to drink wine, but we choose to do so<br />

because it’s enjoyable, you should enjoy selecting your wines and<br />

your customers should enjoy drinking them, we should also enjoy<br />

being your supplier. Getting your wine right will make a big<br />

difference to your cash earnings. Now this is the hard part for a<br />

Yorkshire man to say…….the above service is offered free<br />

of charge!<br />

Enjoy!<br />

EXAMPLE WINE LISTS<br />

CHOSEN FROM OUR RANGE FOR VARIOUS OUTLET TYPES<br />

Outlet type - Gastro Pub<br />

Suggested by Kevin Glover, Territory Manager.<br />

Better Gastro Pubs always like to have a nice mix to match food<br />

pairings ranging from lighter dishes, fish, chicken and salads along with<br />

the more gutsy wines to compliment a good steak or game pie. Therefore<br />

the recommend wine range lends its self to some great food pairings.<br />

9. Picpoul de Pinet L’Ormarine - France<br />

Outlet type - Boutique Hotel<br />

Suggested by Alison Gregson,<br />

Wine Sales Manager.<br />

Boutique Hotels need to have a wine menu that has a good combination<br />

of grape varietals, multiple countries of origin and varying price points.<br />

Therefore I’ve chosen a combination of unusual wines along with some<br />

firm favourites to accommodate a broad spectrum of patrons, both hotel<br />

residents and restaurant visitors.<br />

Sparkling & Champagne<br />

1. Ridgeview Knightsbridge Blanc de Noir ~ Sussex, England<br />

23. Finca Las Moras Malbec Reserva ~ Argentina<br />

Dessert wine<br />

24. Monbazillac, Domaine Grangeneuve ~<br />

South West France 50cl


Outlet type - Country Pub<br />

Suggested by Sue Gowland Territory Manager.<br />

For a typical Country Pub I would recommend grape varieties<br />

from New World, but keeping the price reasonable as people want good<br />

value when they are dinning. I’ve added a few exclusive <strong>Classic</strong> <strong>Drinks</strong><br />

wines to extend the choice for the customer, and to offer the outlet a point<br />

of difference.<br />

White wines<br />

1. Orange Street Chenin Blanc – South Africa<br />

2. La Pintora Chardonnay – Chile<br />

3. Olive Hills Pinot Grigio – Italy<br />

4. Mirror Lake Sauvignon Blanc – New Zealand<br />

5. Chablis Les Moineaux – France<br />

Red wines<br />

6. Orange Street Ruby Cabernet/Merlot – South Africa<br />

7. La Pintora Cabernet Sauvignon – Chile<br />

8. Alma Mora Malbec – Argentina<br />

9. Babington Brook Shiraz – Australia<br />

10. Carlos Serres Old Vine Tempranillo Rioja – Spain<br />

11. Cotes du Rhone Villages Domaine Pasquieres - France<br />

Sparkling & Champagne<br />

12. Prosecco Spumante – Italy<br />

13. Ackerman X Noir Rose Sparkling - France<br />

14. Yves Lallement Brut NV – Champagne<br />

15. Moet & Chandon Brut NV – Champagne<br />

Outlet type - City Centre Bar<br />

Suggested by Jason Kelk, Head of Sales.<br />

Customers in City Centre Bars are not particularly food led, and it’s<br />

likely the outlet will sell lots by the glass. The demographic of a City<br />

Centre Bar is usually young, so I've gone with lots of New World and<br />

trendy but recognisable varietals such as Australian Shiraz, Chilean<br />

Merlot, Italian Pinot. For traditionalists I have chosen a great Rioja and<br />

a Chablis as well as a great value high margin Prosecco.<br />

White wines<br />

1. La Villa Nanni Pinot Grigio/ Gargenaga - Italy<br />

2. La Umbra Chardonnay - Romania<br />

3. Mirror Lake Sauvignon Blanc - Marlborough, N. Zealand<br />

4. Chablis Les Moineaux - France<br />

5. Pacha Mama Torrontes (Organic) - Argentina<br />

Rose wines<br />

6. Linden Hills Zinfandel Rose - USA<br />

7. Villa Calvino Pinot Grigio Rose - Italy<br />

Red wines<br />

8. Ocean Point Shiraz, - Aus<br />

9. Fontaine de la Tour Syrah/Grenache<br />

10. La Pintora Merlot - Chile<br />

11. Serres Tempranillo Rioja - Spain<br />

Sparkling & Champagne<br />

12. Prosecco Spumante - Italy<br />

13. Cava Portecelli Rose - Spain<br />

14. Yves Lallement Brut NV<br />

15. Laurent Perrier Brut NV<br />

Outlet type - Asian Food<br />

Suggested by Mark Rowson,<br />

Wine Sales Manager.<br />

The best wines for Asian Food outlets are those with moderate levels of<br />

alcohol, softer tannin and sometimes off dry in style. It is a question of<br />

harmony and balance within the context of hot, sour, salty and sweet<br />

food sensations. I have picked a range of wines from our new extensive<br />

portfolio which I think will pair well with Asian foods such as, Seifried<br />

Estate Gewurztraminer from New Zealand and Viognier from Lunes<br />

in the Languedoc.<br />

White wines<br />

1. Pinot Grigio Parlare – Italy<br />

2. White Rhino Sauvignon Blanc – South Africa<br />

3. Cono Sur Maiden Flight Riesling – Chile<br />

4. Lunes Viognier Vin de Pays d’Oc – France<br />

5. Grant Burge Benchmark Chardonnay – Australia<br />

6. Seifried Estate Gewurztraminer – New Zealand<br />

Rose wines<br />

7. Grant Burge Benchmark Rose - Australia<br />

8. Rose d Anjou Ackerman - France<br />

Red wines<br />

9. Campo Castillo Garnacha - Spain<br />

10. Fontaine de la Tour Merlot - France<br />

11. Alma Mora Malbec - Argentina<br />

12. Franschhoek Estate Shiraz -South Africa<br />

Champagne & Sparkling<br />

13. Yves Lallment Brut<br />

14. Ackerman X Noir Sparkling Rose<br />

15. Prosecco Spumante

BELOW ARE EXAMPLES OF BESPOKE WINE LISTS<br />

DEVELOPED WITH OUR CUSTOMERS


Creating a Wine List<br />

Most of our customers still plan their wine lists in a traditional<br />

manner, listing House Wines first and then their remaining wines<br />

by colour and country of origin.<br />

This is fine for some consumers but it is not always the most<br />

informative way for many, who have limited wine knowledge and<br />

no way of knowing whether Bordeaux red from St Emilion is light<br />

and fruity or full bodied or whether Chilean Riesling is dry or<br />

medium sweet.<br />

One answer is to compile your wine list by Wine Style.<br />

This is becoming increasingly popular in many restaurants and in<br />

particular Gastro Pubs.<br />

You can always start with a House Wine section first, if required,<br />

with tasting notes as a guide to style – dry crisp white, fruity white<br />

etc.<br />

The main body of the list can then be organised by wine style:<br />

Light dry white: Chablis, Gavi etc.<br />

Aromatic dry white: Sancerre, Pinot Grigio<br />

Fruity dry white: Unoaked Chilean Chardonnay<br />

Spicy white: Gewurztraminer<br />

Fruity medium white: Vouvray<br />

Light bodied fruity red: Valpolicella, Merlot Veneto,<br />

Beaujolais<br />

Medium bodied fruity red: Chilean Merlot<br />

Medium bodied oaked red: Rioja Crianza<br />

Full bodied spicy red: South African Shiraz,<br />

Crozes Hermitage<br />

Full bodied complex oaked red: St Emilion Grand Cru,<br />

Chilean Reserva, Carmenere<br />

The descriptions can be short and simple (dry crisp white) or<br />

longer and more precise (herbaceous, aromatic dry white),<br />

whatever suites your style.<br />

The major benefit of this type of list is that it makes choosing a<br />

wine much easier for those customers with only a limited<br />

knowledge of wine and makes the whole experience much less<br />

of a lottery for them. You could also add a taste guide:<br />

From Médoc to Languedoc<br />

Since 2002 when the Fabre family took over<br />

Château d'Anglès, they have succeeded in revealing the<br />

true potential of this vineyard and now have a range of<br />

award winning wines to show for their enthusiasm<br />

and commitment.<br />

With a lifetime in wine making, Eric Fabre's career<br />

includes eight years as Technical Director of Château<br />

Lafite Rothschild, as well as taking a much lesser known<br />

Médoc label to the highest accolades in only six years.<br />

It was however, a lifelong dream to own a vineyard on the<br />

Mediterranean, so 2001 saw Eric and his wife Christine<br />

hunting from Perpignan to Nîmes for a high quality<br />

terroir. They were quickly seduced by the<br />

Château d'Anglès, and what a very understandable<br />

temptation! The beautiful ancient stone farmhouse of<br />

Château d'Anglès overlooks the vines that slope gently<br />

down to the shores of the Mediterranean. Hard really to<br />

imagine a more idyllic setting and just as hard to imagine<br />

a family more passionately dedicated to the constant<br />

improvement of the quality of their wines.<br />

LOIRE<br />

LOIRE<br />

The Loire region is most famous for its excellent white wines and refreshing roses. Whites vary<br />

from fine Sauvignon's in Sancerre and Touraine and flinty, minerally Muscadet from the area<br />

around Nantes. Muscadet in its Sur Lie form (aged on its lees) can be the perfect wine to drink<br />

with mussels, oysters and other seafood and is much underated these days. It is also worth trying<br />

the delightful Loire reds, made from Cabernet Franc, such as Chinon, which have a lovely<br />

green pepper character and can also de drunk slightly chilled.<br />

VINEYARD REGIONS: RHÔNE VALLEY<br />

A rising star from the Rhône and one of the<br />

youngest from the region, Laure’s wines are<br />

approachable with a feminine elegance<br />

made with food in mind. Produced in<br />

limited quantities this boutique label is an<br />

inspired and personal story.<br />

Fruit for Colombo & Fille comes from a<br />

selection of the best grapes from the<br />

Colombo family vineyards and established<br />

growers from some of the most picturesque<br />

villages of the Rhône Valley.<br />

“Viticultural policy is very much about sustainability and harmony, with<br />

respect for nature and the environment. There is absolutely no irrigation - the<br />

philosophy being to grow fruit which has experienced a little stress to produce<br />

something with character and personality at the end of the day.”<br />

High quality wine, full of ripe primary fruits,<br />

with a perfect balance and sense of place<br />

representing the most beautiful villages of the<br />

Rhône Valley are key to all the wines.<br />

All the wines are crafted with the utmost<br />

care, in a very natural way in order to<br />

respect the fruit. The limited production<br />

allows perfect control in the winemaking<br />

process in small tanks. The objective during<br />

the vinification is to preserve the primary<br />

aromas of the grapes and to make supple,<br />

silky, floral and juicy ripe wines. The use of<br />

new oak is limited during maturation to<br />

achieve balance and subtlety.<br />

SPANISH WINES<br />

Spain has seen a consistant improvement in quality, over the past few years,<br />

from regions such as Toro, Rioja, Jumilla and La Mancha. We particularly<br />

recommend our Oristan Reserva from La Mancha and the excellent new<br />

Campo Castillo wines from the Campo de Borja region which offer wonderful<br />

value. Our range of Rioja from Bodegas Carlos Serres in Haro has proved<br />

really popular. Carlos Serres was the first Rioja Bodega to export wine from<br />

the region in 1896. Traditional methods are used to produce the Carlos Serres<br />

range and the wines have an excellent balance of fruit and subtle oak flavours.<br />

PROFILE<br />

GRANT BURGE<br />

OWNER AND WINEMAKER<br />

GRANT BURGE WINES<br />

VINEYARD REGIONS: BAROSSA VALLEY,<br />

EDEN VALLEY & ADELAIDE HILLS,<br />

SOUTH AUSTRALIA<br />

Grant Burge Wines was formed in 1988 by<br />

Grant and his wife Helen, in the heart of the<br />

Barossa Valley, South Australia. A key<br />

philosophy is “fine wines are made in the<br />

vineyard” and Grant has , with close to<br />

1,000 hectares, one of the largest private<br />

vineyard holdings in the Barossa, some of<br />

which have vines dating back over<br />

100 years.<br />

His family has grown grapes in the Barossa<br />

since 1855 and winemaking has always<br />

been in his blood. Even as a school boy he<br />

knew he wanted to make wine.<br />

Grant was one of the last apprentice<br />

winemakers and did his apprenticeship at<br />

the Southern Vales Co-Op in McLaren Vale<br />

where after 7 years he had worked his way<br />

up from cellar hand to Chief Winemaker.<br />

His first vintage was 1970.<br />

Grant has achieved renown for all his wines. James Halliday awarded his winery the status of a “Red Five Star Winery” in his 2012<br />

Wine Companion. This translates to “consistently produces wines of exemplary quality” and a “long track record of excellence –<br />

truly the best of the best”. For the 5th year running he has just been awarded the Decanter Regional Trophy for his 20 Year Old<br />

Tawny, as well as picking up numerous medals in the IWC, IWSC and Decanter Awards.<br />

WINEMAKER<br />

PROFILE<br />

CHRIS SEIFRIED<br />

WINEMAKER<br />

OLD COACH ROAD AND SEIFRIEDS<br />

Growing up on my families Vineyard and<br />

Winery property in Upper Moutere, gave me<br />

an insight into the wine industry. Every<br />

holiday I helped in the winery with bottling<br />

and distribution, or often in the vineyard<br />

doing all sorts of tasks including hand<br />

picking and tractor work.<br />

In ‘94 I completed seventh form at Waimea<br />

College and applied to Charles Sturt<br />

University in Wagga Wagga, Australia to<br />

begin a Bachelor of Applied Science<br />

(Wine Science).<br />

New Zealand and Australian graduates<br />

from winemaking courses are highly sought<br />

after around the world, this means that it is<br />

easy for young winemakers to travel<br />

around the world with their work.<br />

This type of experience is beneficial<br />

for a winemaker as it helps to<br />

broaden their views due to different<br />

techniques in winemaking which<br />

are used around the world.<br />

My First “Real” job (away from home) was in Western Australia for 3 months, then Home for Winter, followed by four<br />

months in Oregon, USA between July and November, in 2000 I worked in the Yarra Valley (Australia), then in Austria for<br />

three months later in the year. In Mid 2001 I took up the winemaking role, which was very daunting, but a role that<br />

I thoroughly enjoy. This role allows me a lot of hands on wine making and also travelling to our export destinations to do<br />

wine tastings and sales support with distributors.<br />

Kentucky Bourbon Liqueur<br />

Evan Williams Honey Reserve<br />

The warm, fruity richness of Evan Williams<br />

Bourbon combines with<br />

Kentucky honey to create a<br />

delicious liqueur that is very<br />

pleasurable to drink indeed!<br />

<strong>BR</strong><br />

Enjoyed by both the whiskey<br />

aficionado and new-comer<br />

alike, this liqueur has<br />

delightful citrus notes with<br />

gentle hints of spice all<br />

wrapped up with sweet<br />

honey - delicious on its<br />

own or mixed with cola,<br />

ginger beer or in<br />

a cocktail.<br />

Kentucky Old Style Bourbon<br />

Heaven Hill<br />

Founded shortly after the repeal of<br />

prohibition in 1933,<br />

Heaven Hill became the<br />

largest independent, familyowned<br />

producer and marketer<br />

of distilled spirits in the<br />

United States.<br />

Light flowery oak with<br />

hints of vanilla on the nose.<br />

A light, uncomplicated<br />

palate, but with a good<br />

balance of spirit and oak.<br />

The finish is full with<br />

a touch of pepper.<br />

<strong>BR</strong><br />

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey<br />

Evan Williams Extra Aged<br />

Light golden colour. A big nose with lots<br />

of oak, vanilla and a touch of<br />

marmalade. Crisp entry on<br />

the palate with spicy oak<br />

and a light grainy touch.<br />

Develops well with more oak<br />

coming through, a little<br />

mint and apple and then<br />

finishing with a rich<br />

slightly rustic note and<br />

a kick from the spirit.<br />

Dark Spiced Rum<br />

The Kraken<br />

Strong, rich, black & smooth. When the Kraken<br />

launched a little over 2 years ago, it was the first<br />

black rum on the market,<br />

quickly making a name for<br />

itself and creating a brand<br />

new category. The Kraken<br />

Rum is distilled in<br />

Trinadad & Tobago<br />

and aged for two<br />

years in ex-bourbon<br />

barrels. The aged<br />

Kraken Rum is<br />

blended with 14<br />

natural spices<br />

including cinnamon,<br />

ginger and clove,<br />

then bottle in a<br />

Victorian styled<br />

flagon.<br />
