Welcome to Lanchester Wines<br />

Welcome to Lanchester Wines<br />

Lanchester Wines is one of the UK’s leading supplier of quality wines and spirits to<br />

the trade, successfully operating and innovating across every element of the UK wine<br />

industry.<br />

Established in 1980, we’ve never lost focus on what’s important and that’s<br />

consistently over-delivering on quality and service. Our portfolio is relevant and<br />

credible, and we have over 3,000 SKUs across the business. This provides our<br />

customers with wines and spirits to meet every requirement, from some of the finest<br />

wines in the world, through to award-winning house wines.<br />

We’re an independent, family-owned business which allows us to focus on delivering<br />

quality products and service over dividends, and to be both flexible and fast moving in<br />

line with the ever changing global wine market.<br />

We also feel strongly that it’s our duty to preserve our planet, which is why we’ve to<br />

date invested £8million in developing clean, renewable energy and heat generation for<br />

our offices and warehouses which greatly reduces our business’ carbon footprint.<br />

Introduction<br />

In October 2017, reports of global wine shortages and looming price hikes<br />

surfaced after a notably difficult growing season. The production decline<br />

affected nearly every region worldwide, though Europe was hit particularly<br />

badly, experiencing its worst grape harvest in over 30 years.<br />

What a difference a year can make. Thankfully, this year’s harvest reports make for<br />

much more positive reading with reports with most regions reporting either ‘typical’<br />

or record years. However, this doesn’t mean we’re resting on our laurels and our<br />

buying team has been working harder than ever to maintain consistent supplier for our<br />

customers at both the quality and price they – and their customers – expect.<br />

The wine trade witnessed the demise of a number of major businesses over the<br />

last twelve months, however our business continues to grow. We move into the new<br />

financial year with new listings, busy and profitable warehouses, and an impetus to<br />

move into increased profitability.<br />

Tracking consumer insights is more important than ever. Statistics show alcohol<br />

consumption is in decline with Brits drinking one less alcoholic drink each week on<br />

average and Millennials in particular more concerned about the quantity of alcohol they<br />

imbibe.<br />

As a leading supplier of alcohol, we understand the need to innovate our offering to<br />

ensure our customers can provide for their customers. We’ve extended the availability<br />

of wines in 37.5cl half bottles (page 89) and will relaunch our Dragon Tree Kombucha<br />

which has been created for today’s health-conscious consumer seeking an alternative<br />

soft drink whether in or out of home (page 11).<br />

As a forward thinking business, we believe sustainability will continue to rise to the<br />

top of the agenda. We already generate over 5.5million Kilowatt hours of renewable<br />

energy per year which powers our site and we have further leading edge innovations<br />

coming to fruition in <strong>2019</strong> (page 5).<br />

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the last 12 months and<br />

we all look forward to working with you into the future.<br />

Tony Cleary<br />

Managing Director, Lanchester Wines


A Sustainable Wine Size Business<br />

Matters<br />

We believe every business has a duty of care to minimise its impact on the environment,<br />

which is why Lanchester Wines and the wider Lanchester group of companies has<br />

worked tirelessly over the last decade to ensure sustainability is at our core.<br />

There is, unfortunately, no ‘one size fits all’ solution when it comes to sustainability and<br />

so we’ve invested considerably to identify which changes we can make to lessen our<br />

effect on our planet.<br />

Our business’ greatest opportunity to make a change is through minimising our reliance<br />

on fossil fuels. As such, we’ve invested over £8million in renewable heat and energy<br />

generation at our sites across the North East of England and today our business is<br />

powered almost completely by renewable wind and solar energy.<br />

<br />

<br />

Our four wind turbines produce around 5.5million kWh (kilowatt hours) of<br />

clean, renewable electricity per year. We use around 42% of this electricity to<br />

run operations at our Greencroft Estate (including Lanchester Wines, Greencroft<br />

Bottling and Lanchester Gifts) with the remaining electricity – enough to power<br />

800 three bedroom homes - feeding into the National Grid for use within our local<br />

community.<br />

We also have a 41 kilowatt solar array on the roof of Lanchester Wines’ office<br />

complex, which is calculated to produce enough clean electricity to cover our<br />

day-to-day use. The chemical reactions which occur within solar panels are more<br />

efficient at cooler temperatures so County Durham’s bright and sunny, yet rather<br />

chilly, weather is perfect for our solar panels.<br />

As a business, we continue to<br />

make choices about our long-term<br />

sustainability which go above and<br />

beyond both legislation and common<br />

practice. We are pioneering worldchanging<br />

heat pump technology<br />

using water from disused mines at<br />

our warehouses in Gateshead. Due<br />

to launch this year, this will not only<br />

enable our customers to further<br />

reduce their carbon footprint, but also<br />

revolutionise how clean technology<br />

can be used in former mining areas<br />

across the world.<br />

Our aim is to be the greenest and<br />

most sustainable wine business in<br />

the world and we believe we’re well<br />

on the way.<br />

Port and Portugal<br />

Why Portugal is one to watch in <strong>2019</strong><br />

Por que Portugal é um para assistir em <strong>2019</strong><br />

If you fast forward to page 59 you’ll see our selection of Portuguese wines has grown<br />

considerably. This is because we believe Portuguese wines will become increasingly<br />

popular with your customers this year, and here’s why.<br />

While Port and Vinho Verde remain the most well known of wines from Portugal, overall<br />

sales of Portuguese wines in the UK are up over 37% in volume and almost 46% in<br />

value last year – and this trends shows no signs of slowing.<br />

The country boasts over 250 indigenous grape varieties leading some wine experts to<br />

name Portugal as the last frontier of wine in Western Europe; there is still so much to be<br />

tasted and explored. Which is an attractive proposition for the wine curious customer,<br />

keen to seek out new wines on an exploratory oenological journey.<br />

Of all Portugal’s 14 Vinho Regional (wine regions), the north eastern region of Douro is<br />

considered one of the best.<br />

The Douro River, Portugal<br />

The steep, terraced vineyards along the Douro River have been producing world class<br />

wines for centuries – and are so impressive the entire region was made a UNESCO<br />

world heritage site. Wines were mostly in the form of the famous dessert wine, port<br />

however, in the last few decades still wines are emerging from the shadows. Because<br />

there were already established vineyards and talented winemakers in the area, the<br />

region’s production grew rapidly and with outstanding quality.<br />

It’s because of this superiority and reputation that Douro wines make up the majority of<br />

our Portuguese wine selection. We have created a range of wines to suit all customers,<br />

tastes and budgets – each wine is outstanding and we’re confident you’ll agree.<br />

A R G E N T I N A<br />

The Argentinian wine industry has seen<br />

significant growth over the past five years, as<br />

has the quality of the wine produced. Chile<br />

previously dominated South American wine<br />

exports but Argentina makes almost five times<br />

as much wine, and has been catching up fast<br />

on export markets.<br />

Located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, in<br />

the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, the Mendoza<br />

Province is Argentina’s most important wine<br />

region, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the<br />

country’s entire wine production. Vineyards are<br />

planted at some of the highest altitudes in the<br />

world, with the average site located 600–1,100<br />

metres (2,000–3,600 ft) above sea level.<br />

Team Selection<br />

Ian Richardson: For an Argentine wine choice it<br />

has to be Malbec, which has become its own<br />

super varietal - my personal favourite is Square<br />

Ranch. It’s packed with bramble fruit and ripe<br />

dark plum, with light spice and smooth tannin. A<br />

great drink either with steak or by itself.

Red colour with violet hues, this wine expresses a great herbal<br />

character with notes of red fruits, strawberry, cherry and plum.<br />

These are complemented by distinctive mineral notes and in<br />

the mouth, the palate is prolonged and deep. A wine of grand<br />

structure and acidity.<br />

This is 100% Malbec grown in the calcareous soils of Paraje<br />

Altamira, Uco Valley. As the label illustrates, the wine is<br />

fermented and aged in concrete as opposed to stainless steel<br />

tanks or oak barriques. Its strong and ripped, bold and peppery.<br />

province of Mendoza, lies the Gouguenheim<br />

Winery. Its location in the foothills of the Andes<br />

between wines from this region with those that<br />

come from other parts of Mendoza.<br />

Established by Patricio Gouguenheim nearly<br />

20 years ago, it was in 2014 that the winery<br />

Cordillera, at an altitude of 1,100 m, in semi-desert conditions.<br />

A pioneer of the Uco Valley, he built his winery, Bodega Piedra Negra, in<br />

A U S T R A L I A<br />

From the iconic to the lesser known,<br />

Australia’s 65 wine regions each boast<br />

distinct characteristics, and the country’s<br />

grape growing and winemaking<br />

continues to evolve.<br />

Australia is the second largest source of wine<br />

imports into the UK by volume and third largest<br />

by value, while the UK is Australia’s largest<br />

export market in volume terms, accounting<br />

for approximately 28% of total exported wine<br />

volume in 2017.<br />

Around 80% of Australian wine is shipped to the<br />

UK as bulk for bottling in market.<br />

Team Selection<br />

Ian Richardson: This is the year of Italians<br />

down under, with Australian winemakers<br />

increasingly using classic Italian varietals such<br />

as Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Fiano etc. We’re<br />

also seeing some exciting blends combining<br />

these classic grapes with Australian favourites<br />

(check out Aquarius Sangiovese Shiraz, page<br />

22).<br />

My personal favourite is the new Bella Luna<br />

Nero d’Avola from McPherson Wines in Victoria.<br />

The nose is floral with a touch of spice, yet<br />

earthy with lots of character. This wine delivers<br />

on fruit and style and is a great all-rounder.

Australia<br />

Celebrating<br />

Andrew and Nicki McPherson established a small vineyard in Central Victoria, Australia in<br />

1968. With their family’s help they built one of Australia’s leading wineries and are widely<br />

recognised as pioneers of the Australian Wine Industry.<br />

Today, McPherson Wines are being enjoyed in 26 countries across the globe<br />

and are one of Australia’s largest family-owned wineries.<br />

The wines are celebrated for their beautifully crafted, fruit-driven Australian style.<br />

Jo Nash is McPherson’s winemaker. She believes<br />

the wine is made in the vineyard, and makes<br />

decisions in her vineyards in the early days to<br />

influence the quality of wine in the glass. Throughout<br />

the year she carefully manages the process - during<br />

the growing season, at harvest, through the crush<br />

to the wonderful barrels. With careful and thoughtful<br />

attention to every vintage she attempts to bring some<br />

of that magic she fell in love with so long ago into<br />

every glass.<br />

Years<br />

Lanchester Wines has created a range of video tasting notes, which may be used by our customers to promote<br />

McPherson wines.<br />

Introduced by Jo Nash, the tasting notes are each around 60 to 90 seconds in length and are perfect for any<br />

website or social media sharing.<br />

Please visit Lanchester Wines’ YouTube channel to download.<br />

Reaching the big 5-0 is undoubtedly<br />

a momentous occasion and certainly<br />

cause for celebration, which is<br />

exactly what McPherson Wine Co<br />

did throughout 2018 as it celebrated<br />

its half-century. In true McPherson<br />

style, celebrations took place across<br />

the world from the UK to Germany,<br />

China, USA and, of course,<br />

Australia. And, we continue to<br />

celebrate this momentous year long<br />

into the future through celebratory<br />

wines created to mark the occasion.<br />

This wine is a labour of love -<br />

one the accountant (Gary)<br />

then tucked away in some ridiculously<br />

expensive French oak barrels to age for<br />

12 months. And, the legend continues<br />

The 80 Series Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon represents<br />

the year Sir Ian became the first player in test history to score a<br />

century and take 10 wickets in the same match.<br />

liquor, music and dancing<br />

ran riot in the face of<br />

Prohibition.<br />

Chile is geographically and climatically<br />

dominated by the Andes to the east and the<br />

Pacific Ocean to the west with its vineyards<br />

found along an 800-mile stretch of land from<br />

the northern Atacama Region to the Bío Bío<br />

Region in the south. The climate is varied with<br />

the northerly regions being very hot and dry<br />

compared to the cooler, wetter regions in the<br />

south which creates a widely varied viticulture.<br />

The Valle Central is Chile’s most productive and<br />

internationally known wine region, due in large<br />

part to its proximity to the country’s capital,<br />

Santiago. It spans the O’Higgins and Maule<br />

administrative regions as well as the<br />

Metropolitana Region, and within it are four<br />

subregions: Maipo Valley, Rapel Valley, Curicó<br />

Valley and Maule Valley.<br />

Team Selection<br />

Michael O’Brien: Our Altaria range is a great<br />

example of Chilean wine. My personal favourite<br />

is Altaria Cabernet Sauvignon which has<br />

opulent aromas of blackcurrant with spicy notes<br />

and fine concentration, with rich and jammy<br />

black fruit flavours.


Chile<br />

Altaria leads you on a<br />

journey of discovery to<br />

some of the best wines<br />

that Chile has to offer.<br />

Central in Chile. THE BRAND Malbec has a fresh and fruity<br />

nose with hints of plums, blackberries and a touch of vanilla<br />

barbeque) country, this Malbec pairs perfectly with grilled and<br />

E N G L A N D<br />

While Sparkling dominates the English wine<br />

category, still wine production is on the up<br />

with wine producers having learned huge<br />

amounts in recent years about the optimum<br />

conditions for growing vines.<br />

Whites are the best known of English wines<br />

and are most commonly made from Germanorigin<br />

grape varieties, most notably Bacchus.<br />

Germanic varietals are also used within rosé<br />

predominantly Rondo and Dornfelder. However,<br />

Pinot Noir, which many say creates the best<br />

English reds, also makes an excellent rosé and<br />

we’re now seeing much more of that coming<br />

through.<br />

Team Selection<br />

Lesley Cook: For something a little different<br />

I’ve chosen Shoreline by the Lyme Bay Winery<br />

in Devon. It’s an unusual, yet excellent, blend<br />

of Bacchus, Pinot Blanc, Seyval Blanc and<br />

Reichensteiner creating a dry and crisp wine<br />

with balanced acidity and a refreshing lemon<br />

flavour. Definitely one to try and excellent with<br />

seafood.

F R A N C E<br />

With eight billion bottles produced every<br />

year and 53 litres of wine per capita per year,<br />

French wine-making is a serious business.<br />

From the luscious green landscapes of<br />

Bordeaux to Burgundy, and from the gorgeous<br />

Loire Valley to the Rhone Valley and beyond,<br />

wine in France is a unique art.<br />

And, France celebrates these famed grape<br />

growing regions which are linked to the concept<br />

of terroir, making some regions more valuable<br />

in the wine market than others. Appellation<br />

d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) laws guarantee a<br />

wine’s origins and style.<br />

Team Selection<br />

Mark Roberts: I’ve long been a champion of<br />

Picpoul de Pinet, one of the oldest Languedoc<br />

grapes. I’ve chosen our Picpoul de Pinet Racine<br />

which has a soft, delicate nose and is extremely<br />

drinkable.<br />

It’s an excellent match with shellfish and other<br />

crustaceans as it neutralises the salt and iodine,<br />

and is surprisingly good with rich cheese and<br />

charcuterie.

G E R M A N Y<br />

The German wine business has changed out<br />

of all recognition in the last 30 years and today<br />

the country is home to nearly 135 different<br />

grape varieties, from well-known favourites<br />

such as Riesling and Pinot Noir, to the<br />

lesser known such as Huxelrebe and Blauer<br />

Lemberger.<br />

With 64.5% of Germany’s vineyards dedicated<br />

to producing knock-out white wine, and 11.5%<br />

to Pinot Noir, it’s never been a more exciting<br />

time for German wine production.<br />

German wine is primarily produced in the<br />

west of Germany, along the river Rhine and its<br />

tributaries, with the oldest plantations going<br />

back to the Roman era. Approximately 60% of<br />

German wine production is<br />

situated in the federal state of Rhineland-<br />

Palatinate, where 6 of the 13 regions<br />

Anbaugebiete) for quality wine are situated.<br />

Team Selection<br />

Emma Campbell: For a German wine<br />

selection, for me it has to be a Riesling<br />

and the Anselmann Auslese Edesheimer<br />

Rosengarten 2012 is a great example of<br />

fruity, crisp German Riesling at its finest.

I T A L Y<br />

Italy is famous for food and wine, both of<br />

which play an important part of the country’s<br />

identity and culture. In fact, Italy produces<br />

more wine than any other country using more<br />

than 400 different grape varietals.<br />

Two thirds of wine produced in Italy is either<br />

‘DOC’ or ‘IGT’, with the country boasting a<br />

number of famous and classic wine regions<br />

which notably include:<br />

- Piedmonte (which means, the foot of the<br />

mountains), think Barolo & Barbaresco<br />

- Veneto, Italy’s largest producing region<br />

famous for Soave & Valpolicella<br />

- Sicily, an upcoming region with Nero d’Avola<br />

leading the charge.<br />

- Tuscany, the spiritual home of both<br />

Sangiovese and Chianti, two Italian classics.<br />

Team selection<br />

Tom Ochoa: Here at Lanchester Wines, we also<br />

bring wines from the Abruzzo region and in<br />

particular the province of the city of Chieti. From<br />

here we import ‘Archivio Pecorino’ which has a<br />

vibrant yellow glow, with complex hues of exotic<br />

fruit and soft spice notes. On the palate, the<br />

wine has perfect acidity levels, mineral notes<br />

with an exotic fruit explosion.

notes both on the palate.<br />

This white wine is made of a rare and<br />

long-forgotten Abruzzo grape variety<br />

now being rediscovered. ‘Isn’t Pecorino a<br />

sheep’s milk cheese?’ Yes, it is the name<br />

the well-known Italian cheese, but it is<br />

also the name of this great grape variety.<br />

According to local legend the variety gets<br />

its name from the fact that the sheep<br />

(‘pecora’ in Italian) enjoy nibbling the<br />

leaves of this particular vine.<br />

Le Argille<br />

IT157<br />

Cabernet di Cabernet 2014/15<br />

6x75cl<br />

A strong, serious and unique wine that ages in concrete barrels for two years and then in<br />

bottle for at least six months. It is immaculate and free from barrel aromatic interference so<br />

that its uniqueness is fully preserved along with its warm, refined and mature taste.<br />

The wine is made up of a 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and is<br />

initially structured through Double Reasoned Maturation.<br />

An intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights, aromas of blueberry, blackberry and wild<br />

strawberries lead onto hints of plum, black cherries and vanilla with light nuances of tobacco,<br />

dark chocolate and green pepper. In the mouth it is warm, elegant, mature and complex.<br />

Notes of ripe berries and the wine is soft and pleasantly tannic, a long finish with good<br />

aftertaste that calls for another glass.<br />

‘Le Argille’ translates as ‘concrete’ in Italian paying hommage to both this excellent wine’s<br />

packaging - presented in a cement-dipped bottle with wax seal and leather label - and also its<br />

production process.<br />

on hilly land at an average height of 350 metres with a yearly grape<br />

production of about 200,000 quintals (around 20million kilograms).<br />

The Chioccioli Altadonna Family Estate runs its own winery in Gaiole, Chianti with vineyard<br />

The two owners, brothers Niccolo and Enrico Chioccioli Altadonna, work<br />

directly in the vineyards with the whole operations being carried out by hand<br />

from pruning through to harvest and the final wine making. Attention to detail<br />

is key in the winery starting from the double sorting of grapes, the vinification<br />

technique and the use of the finest grained French oak barrels.<br />

Great attention is paid to all details of vineyard management to achieve the<br />

best polyphenolic ripening of the grapes. Strict low yields are maintained with a<br />

typically production average of 30 hectolitres (3,000 litres) of wine per hectare.<br />

Chioccioli Altore Toscana<br />

2011<br />

6x75cl<br />

Altore is a blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. After careful selection of the grapes,<br />

fermentation takes place in open barrels and after a long maceration on the skins the wine is placed into<br />

barrels of the best selection of fine grain French oak, where the malolactic fermentation takes place. It<br />

stays in barriques “sur lies” for 18 months. After bottling, a further period of maturation glass takes place<br />

for at least six months before the wine is released. This is a wine of extraordinary identity, very intense,<br />

elegant, refined, rich and complex with rich fruit notes of red and black berries and complex spices; sweet<br />

tannins, dense, thick, voluminous, long and balanced with a fresh acidity leading to a long and intense<br />

finish The terroir is the master of this wine, that is the perfect marriage of two great grape varieties.<br />

M O L D O V A<br />

When thinking of European wine regions,<br />

Moldova may not be the first country<br />

that springs to mind. However, Moldovan<br />

winemaking dates back to 3000BC and<br />

present day wine sector in Moldova is on an<br />

upward trend with exports up 5.5% in 2017.<br />

Moldova is situated in the South-East of Europe<br />

between Ukraine and Romania in the Black Sea<br />

basin. The country lies on the same latitude as<br />

Bordeaux though its climate is more continental<br />

creating ideal conditions for growing grapes.<br />

The four key Moldovan wine growing regions<br />

are: Balti (northern zone), Codru (central<br />

zone, Purcari (south-eastern zone) and Cahul<br />

(southern zone)<br />

Team Selection:<br />

Loren Hardwick – For me, Pinot Grigio shows<br />

Moldovan winemaking at its finest, creating a<br />

crispy, tangy and refreshing wine similar in style<br />

to the classic Italian Pinot Grigio.

New Zealand may be thought of as a cool<br />

climate producer however the summer of<br />

2017/18 was the hottest on record. This<br />

resulted in early harvest in some regions<br />

however, the tail end of cyclones Gita & Fehi<br />

brought over 100mm of rain resulting in a<br />

very soggy end and, subsequently, a smaller<br />

harvest than anticipated (only 419,000 tonnes).<br />

Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are the<br />

undoubted heroes of New Zealand wine with<br />

the former accounting for circa 80% of the<br />

country’s total harvest.<br />

Team Selection<br />

Ian Richardson: Our Nika Tiki range is<br />

undoubtedly our New Zealand wine star<br />

celebrating the best of Marlborough’s<br />

Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.<br />

And, this year we’re adding a Sauvignon Blanc<br />

Rose to the range which will be perfect for the<br />

summer.<br />

Marlborough<br />

New Zealand<br />

Marlborough put New Zealand on the international wine stage in the 1980s with its<br />

exquisite Sauvignon Blanc. Over 20,000ha of vines (around ⅔ of the national total) are under<br />

the care of local wine producers, making it the country’s largest wine region.<br />

A combination of a cool yet high sunshine climate, low rainfall and free-draining, moderately<br />

fertile soil produces uniquely vivid wines. Hailed as one of New Zealand’s most sunny and dry<br />

regions, Maori referred to Marlborough’s Wairau Valley as ‘Kei puta te Wairau’ – ‘The place<br />

with the hole in the cloud’.<br />

Every winemaker has their own signature<br />

style which makes the wines they create<br />

unique, just like this fingerprint. Vintrigue<br />

Pinot Noir has been expertly created by an<br />

award winning family winery whose identity<br />

is known only to us. We can tell you the<br />

winery is in Marlborough, New Zealand,<br />

a region famed for producing some of the<br />

best Pinot Noir in the world, and this soft,<br />

light and fruity wine is no exception.<br />

The flavours of cherries<br />

excellent match for grilled<br />

poultry or root vegetables,<br />

but it’s equally excellent<br />

when simply enjoyed with<br />

good company.<br />

P O R T U G A L<br />

Despite its size, Portugal is among the 10<br />

largest wine-producing countries in the world<br />

with still wine sales up 37.1% by volume and<br />

45.8% by value in the UK last year.<br />

Portugal has more indigenous grape varieties<br />

than any other country – more than 250 plus<br />

a few imports (ie Alicante Bouschet) that have<br />

adapted well to the Portuguese landscape. And,<br />

because Portugal’s wine culture developed in<br />

relative isolation, there are many grape varieties<br />

that do not grow anywhere else in the world.<br />

Team Selection:<br />

Loren Hardwick: For something a little different,<br />

try the Vallegre Colheita Rosé, from the Douro.<br />

Its produced using a blend of Touriga Nacional<br />

and Touriga Franca to create a soft and fresh<br />

wine with flavours of raspberries and currants.


Portugal<br />

Vallegre<br />

Vallegre is a Portuguese family business which, for five generations, has<br />

been deeply rooted in the Douro Region, the oldest demarcated wine<br />

growing region in the world.<br />

The head office is located at Quinta da Vista Alegre, just a few kilometres from Pinhão - Vista<br />

Alegre in Spanish means ‘happy view’ which makes reference to the name of one of Vallegre’s<br />

most beautiful vineyards. The unspoilt and magnificent surrounding landscape, given its<br />

privileged geographical location, offers visitors breathtaking views of the Douro River.<br />

The name Vallegre is the merging of two of the winery’s most important Quintas - Valle Longo<br />

and Vista Alegre.<br />

After a careful and classic vinification,<br />

the wine spent 22 months in new French<br />

oak casks. It is unfiltered and was not<br />

cold stabilised in order to preserve all its<br />

natural qualities. It will therefore with time<br />

throw a natural sediment in the bottle. We<br />

recommend decantation of this weighty<br />

Valley, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and<br />

Tinta Roriz, the same grapes used in the<br />

making of Port wines. The wine is unfiltered<br />

to retain all of the natural qualities and<br />

Smart Dog<br />

Behind the dapper pooch (who answers to Pingo apparently)<br />

on this very smart label is a delicious full bodied red showcasing<br />

excellent examples of Portuguese varietals. Syrah is top dog<br />

in this blend, with a small amount of Trincadira, an<br />

ancient Portuguese grape notoriously hard to grow<br />

and traditionally used in Port. This contributes an<br />

intense colour, herby aroma and a rich depth to the<br />

tannins. An enticing aroma is followed by a full palate<br />

of ripe dark fruits and spices, along with a mineral<br />

tone.<br />

when Pingo ran away, only to be found hours<br />

later digging for a bone. But he found something<br />

special. Do you want to know what he found? Well,<br />

R O M A N I A<br />

It may surprise you to learn Romania is the<br />

sixth biggest wine producing country in<br />

Europe, with around 4m hectolitres produced<br />

annually. While many of the key grape varieties<br />

are now similar to the rest of Europe - Merlot,<br />

Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,<br />

Sauvignon Blanc - some domestic varieties<br />

of note include reds Băbească and Fetească<br />

Neagră, and whites Fetească Regală,<br />

Francusa, Grasă, Galbena, Busuioacă de<br />

Bohotin and Tămâioasă Românească.<br />

Romania’s continental climate of hot summers<br />

and cold winters is ideal for vine growing.<br />

There are eight wine regions, each named after<br />

geographical regions: Transylvania Highlands,<br />

Moldavian Hills, Muntenia Hills, Oltenia Hills,<br />

Banat Hills, Dobrogea Hills, Crișana Maramureș<br />

Hills and The Danube Terraces.<br />

Team Selection:<br />

Steve Machin: Recas wines are great examples<br />

of modern Romanian wine making. Created at<br />

the Cramele Recase Estate on the far western<br />

fringes of Romania’s Transylvania / Banat<br />

region, these are fresh, fruit driven wines at<br />

great value.


Romania<br />

Recas<br />

The Cramele Recas estate is located on the far western fringes of<br />

Romania`s Transylvania / Banat region, where wines have been produced<br />

since the mid 15th century.<br />

Oldest records of the Cramele Recas winery date back to 1447 when the<br />

lord of Severin, Mihail de Ciorna, purchased the vineyards in Recas. Its<br />

modern history began 20 years ago when current winery owners bought the Cramele Recas<br />

winery off the Romanian government for $1 million and started a programme of significant<br />

investment growing the winery to 980 hectares.<br />

During these two decades, Cramele Recas has grown into the largest exporter of Romanian<br />

wine, with a capacity to produce 20 million bottles.<br />

The winery produces 12-13 million bottles of wine a year, with capacity to go to 20 million; it<br />

makes 68 different types of wine across 300 labels using 21 different grape varieties; turns<br />

over €30 million pa, making it Romania’s second largest winery and it exports a third of its<br />

wine to the UK, making it the largest Romanian winery in export terms.<br />

S O U T H A F R I C A<br />

South Africa is firmly established as one of the<br />

top 10 wine producing countries of the world<br />

with over 10m hl produced annually. Over<br />

the past 20 years wine imports from South<br />

Africa have grown exponentially, largely due to<br />

offering great quality and value. In 2018 the UK<br />

was South Africa’s number one export market.<br />

The country’s climate is ideal for wine making<br />

with the topography of the land creating<br />

hundreds of microclimates which in turn<br />

produce wines of various styles. The majority<br />

of wine making occurs on the Northern<br />

and Western capes with regions such as<br />

Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek and<br />

Robertson producing some fantastically fresh<br />

wines at great value for money.<br />

Team Selection:<br />

Steve Machin: The top six grapes produced<br />

in South Africa are Chenin (known locally as<br />

Steen), Cabernet Sauvignon, Colombard,<br />

Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot. South<br />

African Merlot tend to be made as a varietal in<br />

a chocolately, glossy California style and our<br />

Waters Edge Merlot is a great example with<br />

lively cherry and blackberry flavours alongside<br />

hints of cocoa and violets.

S P A I N<br />

Rioja maintains its dominance as Spain’s<br />

flagship wine region in the UK and accounts<br />

for nearly half of all Spanish wine sold by value<br />

and 38% of Spanish wine by volume.<br />

While the Rioja category is dominated by sales<br />

of Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva there are<br />

positive figures in the UK for whites from Rioja<br />

with volume up 61%. There are six traditional<br />

Spanish white grape varieties and three<br />

international grapes permitted in its production,<br />

the most prominent being Viura, which must be<br />

a minimum of 51% of the blend. There are two<br />

key styles of White Rioja: light, lemony-fresh<br />

tangy whites and full-bodied, rich and nutty<br />

whites. Our top pick with the growing trend for<br />

white Rioja is Abadia Milagro’s Rioja Blanco<br />

2017 which is a fresh and fruity example of<br />

Viura and is ideal served as an aperitif or a<br />

perfect partner to fish and seafood.<br />

Team Selection:<br />

Loren Hardwick: Another gem in Abadia<br />

Milagro’s stable is the 5 Oros Graciano. A wine<br />

made from 100% Graciano is rare in Rioja as it<br />

is notoriously low-yielding and susceptible to<br />

downy mildew. It is typically used as a blending<br />

grape with Tempranillo and other varietals in<br />

Rioja. However, with care and attention in the<br />

vineyard, made on its own it produces spicy,<br />

aromatic and intensely flavoured wines making<br />

it arguably the most interesting red grape variety<br />

in Rioja.

U S A<br />

Until the 1960’s, American wines were<br />

considered inexpensive and was largely<br />

consumed domestically. Roll forward 40-50<br />

years and the USA is now the 4th largest<br />

wine producing country in the world.<br />

Each of the USA’s incredible wine regions has<br />

a very different style, approach and result.<br />

For example:<br />

- California, most notably the world famous<br />

‘Napa Valley’. Napa is famed for its Chardonnay,<br />

Pinot Noirs and Zinfandels, and is the birthplace<br />

of White Zinfandel<br />

- Washington State, an emerging wine region<br />

in terms of UK Sales and frankly, an exciting one<br />

too. With Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay and<br />

Riesling all being produced with some stunning<br />

results.<br />

- Oregon, wine making dates back to pioneer<br />

times in the 1840s with commercial production<br />

beginning in the 1960s. Grapes grown here<br />

include Tempranillo, Baco Noir, Pinot Noir,<br />

Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay,<br />

Riesling, Grüner Veltliner and a host of lesser<br />

known Vitis Vinifera.<br />

Team Selection:<br />

Tom Ochoa: From Washington State we<br />

have the irresistible Charles & Charles wines.<br />

Winemakers Charles Smith & Charles Bieler join<br />

forces to make a Cabernet/Syrah, Chardonnay,<br />

Rose and their show stopping, single vineyard<br />

Riesling. The Riesling has a well textured body<br />

with notes of honeysuckle, white peach, baked<br />

apple and spice with great minerality, and a<br />

finish so long you may have to ask your guests<br />

to leave!

Napa Cellars is a true Napa Valley Classic since<br />

1976. Though Napa Valley is small — 30 miles long<br />

and only a few miles across as its widest point — its<br />

varied microclimates and soils make it possible to<br />

successfully grow a variety of wine grapes.<br />

This gives Napa Cellars the luxury to choose the<br />

best fruit for each wine it makes without ever having<br />

to look beyond the Napa Valley.<br />

Sauvignon Blanc<br />

2016<br />

US258 12x75cl<br />

Green apple, spring grass, melon and<br />

passion fruit aromas followed by white<br />

peach and honey tones. Full and lively<br />

on the palate, flavours of guava, lemon,<br />

grapefruit, floral notes and subtle hints<br />

of lime complement a crisp and bright<br />

acidity. The body has a round mouthfeel<br />

and the delectable finish is clean and<br />

long with beautiful minerality. Fruit<br />

for this wine is meticulously selected<br />

several sub-appellations in the warmer<br />

regions of Napa Valley, such as St.<br />

Helena, Yountville and Calistoga, to<br />

better tease out the vibrant aromas<br />

and flavours that make this varietal so<br />

appealing.<br />

US260<br />

Pinot Noir<br />

2013/15<br />

12x75cl<br />

Beautiful aromas of black cherry,<br />

cola, earth, spice and dark caramel.<br />

Abundant flavours of cherry pie, dark<br />

fruit, toasted pie crust and dried herbs<br />

are framed by rich vanilla notes on the<br />

palate. Well structured with a balanced<br />

acidity leading to a long and lingering<br />

finish. The grapes were sourced<br />

exclusively from premier vineyards<br />

in the southern part of Napa Valley<br />

where the San Pablo Bay creates a<br />

cool, maritime climate. Morning fog<br />

rolls across the vines, ushering in the<br />

cool breezes ideal for growing delicate,<br />

flavourful Pinot Noir.<br />

US259<br />

Chardonnay<br />

2016<br />

12x75cl<br />

Aromas of vanilla, caramel, honey<br />

melon and hints of baked apple crisp<br />

excite the senses. Meyer lemon melds<br />

with toasted coconut flakes to thrill<br />

the palate, which is reminiscent of<br />

marshmallows roasting over a campfire.<br />

Soft, balanced acidity and creamy<br />

finish. Grapes were selected from<br />

vineyards in renowned Chardonnay<br />

locations including south Napa Valley<br />

and Oak Knoll. The proximity of these<br />

vineyards to the fog and breeze from<br />

San Francisco and Marin Bay creates<br />

a cooler climate, which is ideal for<br />

growing Chardonnay.<br />

Zinfandel<br />

2014/15<br />

12x75cl<br />

Lush flavours of ripe jam with notes of<br />

mocha, spice, subtle pepper and sweet<br />

notes of oak on the finish. This wine is<br />

medium-bodied with bright acidity and<br />

a smooth, juicy and lasting mouthfeel.<br />

This Zinfandel is made with grapes<br />

hand-selected from vineyards in the<br />

warmer areas of Napa Valley, including<br />

St. Helena, Yountville, Oak Knoll and<br />

Calistoga. Zinfandel grows best in<br />

warmer climates, and sourcing grapes<br />

from these areas results in complex<br />

and concentrated fruit. Zinfandel is<br />

not nearly as ubiquitous as Cabernet<br />

Sauvignon in Napa Valley, and makes<br />

up roughly 2% of total acreage.<br />

weekend warrior, relish during the week<br />

with a juicy ostrich burger, zesty buffalo<br />

back ribs, vension steaks or wild boar<br />

sausage. 4 Silver medals.<br />

Half Bottle Range (375ml)<br />

As the trend for drinking less but better shows no sign of slowing, we’ve responded this year<br />

through the expansion of our half bottle ranges. New for <strong>2019</strong> are Otra Tierra Merlot and<br />

Sauvignon Blanc from our Chilean range.<br />

We’ve listened to consumer insights which show drinkers are keen to cut down on waste and<br />

curb their midweek consumption, and half bottles fit this remit perfectly. Recent data from<br />

Nielsen has found alcohol consumption is in decline, with Brits drinking one less alcoholic<br />

drink each week on average and Millennials in particular more concerned about the quantity of<br />

alcohol they imbibe.<br />

FW109 6x75cl<br />

Rich, it exhales an intense aroma of black<br />

mature fruits. Very powerful structure, full<br />

of fruit, full-bodied, fat and round. This is a<br />

traditional LBV, which means that it is not<br />

cold stabilized and not filtered. As the wine<br />

ages with time some natural sediment may<br />

occur in the bottle, it should be carefully<br />

opened and decanted.<br />

Vintage 1996<br />

FW110 6x75cl<br />

A rare wine of unique<br />

characteristics, spending<br />

at least 8 years in oak<br />

casks to develop its smooth<br />

tannins and enhance its soft<br />

spicy flavours. The word<br />

“Colheita” means tawny<br />

port produced from a single<br />

vintage – we have chosen<br />

1996 as we feel it was a<br />

fantastic year and best<br />

represents this fantastic<br />

port.<br />

Lugger Rum 40%<br />

6x70cl<br />

Unlike most commercial spiced<br />

rums, Lyme Bay’s Lugger Rum is<br />

not defined by an overpowering<br />

vanilla characteristic. Instead,<br />

our aim was to create a rum<br />

that offers a full profile of<br />

spices. As a result, we’ve<br />

aged Caribbean rum in<br />

bourbon-charred oak<br />

barrels right here in Devon<br />

before spicing it with<br />

nutmeg, orange-peel and<br />

cloves, as well as vanilla.<br />

Rhum Depaz<br />

Depaz rhums draw their<br />

flavours and characteristics<br />

from the volcanic soil. They<br />

present floral notes of ripe<br />

sugar cane, orange blossom<br />

and exotic fruits.<br />

Lyme Bay Dry Gin 40%<br />

6x70cl<br />

Our beautifully fresh and invigorating gin bursts<br />

with traditional botanical flavours of juniper, floral<br />

and citrus notes alongside intoxicating aromas of<br />

verbena and the freshness of orange peel, lemon<br />

and lime. Enjoy this most uplifting of gins with a fine<br />

tonic water and a slice of lemon from dusk till dawn.<br />

Alternatively, the smoothness and elegance of the<br />

gin helps make for a fine dry martini.<br />

Lyme Bay Pink<br />

Grapefruit Gin 40%<br />

6x70cl<br />

This mouth-watering gin bursts with the flavours<br />

the more delicate botanical aromas of juniper and<br />

elderflower. Spectacular over ice or as a different<br />

G&T serve, this Pink Grapefruit Gin is a beautiful<br />

marriage of the floral and citrus flavours for which<br />

the Lyme Bay is renowned.<br />

perfume.<br />

We believe in providing added value, which is why we’ve created a range of services<br />

especially for our customers. These services are designed to make your life a little easier<br />

Wine Lists<br />

While sourcing your venue’s wines and spirits through Lanchester Wines, why not recruit<br />

our team of in-house designers to create your wine list too?<br />

We’ve invested heavily in new printing and laminating equipment to create our customers’<br />

wine list menus. Our designers work with you to incorporate your colours, logos and<br />

business style into a bespoke design printed onto the material of your choice.<br />

Our sales team are all highly trained wine professionals and can advise on how best to<br />

structure your list to suit, including pairing wine to your food menu and maximising sales<br />

of profitable lines. Our team will work with you throughout to ensure your wine list remains<br />

current and relevant to your customers.<br />

Staff Training<br />

Our team are wine experts, so why not invite them to train your team? Not only will your<br />

staff learn how to taste and experience wine at a higher level, they’ll also learn how to<br />

advise your customers on their wine selection, thus providing your venue with an added<br />

value service.<br />

Promotional Support<br />

Our team of in-house designers and marketing support work closely with account<br />

managers to provide promotional support as required.<br />

Alongside your bespoke wine list, we can develop promotional marketing material such<br />

as tent cards, ‘wine of the week’ leaflets and further promotional activity. Any promotions<br />

customers.<br />

Export<br />

A global wine business<br />

While Lanchester Wines may be headquartered in the UK, we’re a global business<br />

with an established and ever growing export arm. We also have a dedicated, full time<br />

sales team based in Ireland working across both Eire and Northern Ireland<br />

Our export team and our partners presently distribute Lanchester Wines products<br />

across Europe, Scandinavia, Iceland and the Middle East, with more markets in<br />

development. As a business, we have experience exporting to every continent. Our<br />

customers include travel retail, airlines, hotel groups, leisure corporations, wholesalers,<br />

on trade and retailers.<br />

The key to our success is understanding each market – its focus, its approach and,<br />

most importantly, the different preferences / tastes of its consumers. No two markets<br />

are the same and we approach each customer with a bespoke offering.<br />

We work closely with our sister company Greencroft Bottling whose reputation<br />

for outstanding quality is recognised globally. We’ve developed a strong working<br />

relationship with many wineries across the southern hemisphere.<br />

Bonding and Distribution<br />

Lanchester Wines operates a Class A bonded warehouse system over four large<br />

warehouses in the North East of England.<br />

Combined, these four sites cover an area in excess of 920,000 ft 2 of high quality,<br />

bonded warehousing. Importantly, all sites are wholly owned by the Lanchester group<br />

of companies and we still have room to grow.<br />

From these warehouses, our fleet of 11 delivery vehicles and our external partners<br />

distribute our wines to customers seven days a week, handling close to 4,000 pallets<br />

of wine a day.<br />

We understand our need to reduce our impact on the environment and continue to<br />

invest in renewable energy and heat generation across our sites. Wind turbines,<br />

solar panels and air source heat pumps provide power for our County Durham<br />

headquarters, while two of our sites in nearby Gateshead have been fitted with the<br />

UK’s second largest open loop ground source heat pump system capable of producing<br />

up to four megawatts of heat.<br />

All warehousing owned by our business undergoes ongoing maintenance. Each site<br />

has been completely refurbished including exterior cladding, new roofs, new electricity<br />

and plumbing systems, and enhanced security to bring each property in-line with<br />

HMRC requirements for bonded facilities.<br />

We’ve invested in an innovative Joloda system, the first of its kind in the UK wine<br />

market. Installed across all Lanchester Wines sites, we can load 24 pallets onto a<br />

waiting truck in just 85 seconds, compared to around 35 minutes for traditional loading<br />

systems. As you can imagine, this system radically reduces driver downtime and<br />

increases efficiencies.<br />

Greencroft Bottling Company<br />

Greencroft Bottling Company<br />

Lanchester Wines fulfils its contract wine bottling through Greencroft Bottling Company<br />

Greencroft Bottling is one of the largest contract wine bottlers in the UK, working with some<br />

of the world’s leading wine companies. It prides itself on outstanding quality and attention to<br />

detail, and is rated BRC Grade AA+.<br />

lines which run 24 hours a day, five days a week filling up to 90,000 bottles and boxes of<br />

wine per hour. Through ongoing investment in machinery, without which the business could<br />

not function, Greencroft Bottling has built a reputation for unsurpassed quality, efficiency and<br />

excellence.<br />

Its new Bag-in-Box line goes from strength to strength filling many millions of litres over the last<br />

12 months and a new combination packer (the company’s third) ensures its can offer customers<br />

products in multiple formats including various sizes of glass, PET, Bag in Box, Key Keg and<br />

more.<br />

Lanchester Wines and Greencroft Bottling are sister companies under common ownership,<br />

both of which run autonomously. This maintains the integrity of Greencroft Bottling as a leading<br />

wine and spirit packing facility.<br />

Both companies ensure their operations are as environmentally sustainable as possible<br />

through access to the Lanchester Group of companies’ continued investment in renewable<br />

energy and heat generation. Greencroft Bottling is the only UK contract wine which can say it<br />

is predominantly powered using clean, green renewable energy generated through wind and<br />

solar.<br />
