- Alicia Basa + Mark Warner | Borachio
Wine Description
A very special bottle indeed... a reminder that patience pays off. Hand-harvested in February 2019, pressed directly, settled overnight, and aged for 24 months before bottling in March 2021, this long, gentle élevage shapes its character. Despite the age and extended time on lees, it’s incredibly bright and fresh: fine, delicate bubbles carrying notes of lemon tart, shortbread, and toffee apple. As it opens, it drifts into granny-smith-apple-crumble territory (yum?!)... comforting, layered, and beautifully tied together by that slow, careful maturation.

Wine Description
Alicante Bouschet is a bit of an unsung hero... deeply coloured, full of dark, juicy fruit, and naturally plush without feeling heavy. Catherine’s 2021 take is exactly that: a bright, black-fruited red with this gorgeous depth that makes it feel both generous and totally food-agreeable. Expect blackberry, black cherry, maybe a touch of plum, all wrapped in a soft, earthy warmth. It’s full-bodied but drinks with surprising lift... the kind of red that loves a generous table, a roast chicken, or anything charred.
