Constantia Glen Five, 2011, South Africa

A blend of five Bordeaux grape varieties, grown in the balmy shadow of Table Mountain. Plenty of oomph, but elegant. £27; bbr.com Valle Reale, Sant’Eusanio, Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, 2015, Italy

Recommended by Mickey Fallowes, manager of Passione Vino “A deep, dark, juicy and concentrated

100 per cent mountain Montepulciano from a tiny parcel of land within Abruzzo National Park, 500m above sea level. Made only from exceptional vintages, Sant’Eusanio has silky smooth tannins, vibrant acidity and black forest fruits. Pairs well with rich dark meats and savoury dishes but equally as delicious as a contemplation wine.”
