  (close)

  2007 is one of Chile's best vintages yet and the wine is deep ruby in colour, with intense strawberry and plum fruit aromas. Delightfully smooth and full, it can be enjoyed on its own or with grilled meats and pasta dishes.

• Sauvignon Blanc Don Cayetano Chile 2007

  Sauvignon Blanc Don Cayetano Chile 2007 :

  (close)

  Chile’s high-altitude vineyards, endless hours of sunshine and abundant irrigation help create wines with astonishing fruit concentration. This glorious Sauvignon is no exception. Abundant with lemongrass and tropical kiwi fruit flavours, this clean, refreshing white is an ideal apéritif. Mouthwatering citrus and cut grass give a fantastic, clean finish.

• House of Sarunds

  House of Sarunds:

  House of Sarunds was founded in Salisbury in 1987, when Robert Verdonk opened a small chocolate shop. After starting with a limited range of products, he soon realized that he needed more variety if the business was to grow and so he converted the offices above the shop into a base from which he could manage the importing of quality chocolates from Belgium. His intention, being fluent in Flemish, was to drive to Belgium on a weekly basis in his van to pick up fresh chocolates for his own shop. He quickly realized that when collecting chocolates for himself he could be doing it for others and started to canvas other chocolate shops in the UK, and so began House of Sarunds as an importer.
  
  The business expanded, and as its reputation grew, more and more companies asked Robert to supply them with chocolates. Soon, through word of mouth and not a small amount of entrepreneurial skill, Robert was supplying a wider variety of Belgian chocolates at lower prices to a wider audience, than had ever before been available to retailers. As he out grew the shop it was sold and Robert created the importing and distribution company House of Sarunds.
