Our buyer is always on the lookout for parcels of older vintage red wine - bottles that bring together time, terroir and tradition in one glass. These wines aren’t just about age; they’re about character. With vintage red winesyou can expect softened tannins, evolved flavours, and complex aromas that only come from patient cellaring.
Perfect for collectors, thoughtful gifts, or elevating a special occasion, each bottle has its own story to tell. From mature Bordeaux to aged Barolo and old vine Rioja, these wines offer drinking pleasure now or further potential with careful storage. Looking for a wine from a specific year to mark a milestone or birthday? This is a great place to start.
Storing fine wine doesn’t have to be complicated. Choose a cool, dark place, ideally kept around 12°C with minimal temperature changes. If you don’t have a wine fridge, a cupboard away from any heat source can work just as well. Lay bottles on their side to keep the cork moist; this stops air from entering and spoiling the wine.
When you’re ready to serve, aim for 16-18°C for red wines and 10-12°C for whites. Too warm or too cold can mute the wine’s flavours, so a little temperature check can make a big difference. A brief chill in the fridge can help if your room’s a bit warm, especially for whites.
Fine Red wine and some white wine benefits from a bit of air after opening, allowing flavours to develop and soften. Decanters are ideal for this, as they aerate the wine and separate it from any sediment. If you don’t have a decanter, pour the wine into a jug or large glass carafe. Young, full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah gain the most from a quick decant, while lighter wines often need just a few minutes in the glass. This simple step enhances the aroma and brings out hidden notes, making every sip a bit more enjoyable.
