Domaine La Florane A Fleur Blanc White Blend 2023

Domaine La Florane Cotes du Rhone Grenache blend 2022

An annual favourite. If you’re reading this pick up the bottle before someone else does. Amazing with the special steaks you buy occasionally, It’s a bottle that impresses. Especially for the money. Think salted plum, fanning pepper and fine tannins, all floating down from the sky like some divine gift.

Domaine Les Genestas Cave D Estezargues Côtes du Rhône 2023

A tight yolk of red and black currants that are everpresent and crunchy, but supple. All that flattens though, after just a second on the tongue when a nice drying, dusty tannin and textural acidity take over. Decant if you’re into perfection–it’s not for everyone. Oh, and you could cellar this, just for a couple of years. ]

Romain Le Bars Pousse Cailloux Grenache Blend 2023 NFD

10 days in carbonic for just a little poppy mouthfeel. You’ll love all the deliciously juicy flow that seems coiled in a bendy twig of herbs. Chouette is Parisian for cool – seems relevant with Romain.

Romain Le Bars Nouveau Nez Grenache Cinsault 2023 NFD

Textural but vibrant spicy Rhôney whites will keep you up at night, wondering where you can get more of them, and how do they do it? This one was fermented in old oak for less oak-interference and has ginger and quince flavours running through.

Romain Le Bars Le Clau Blanc 2023 NFD

One of our most reliably loved, southern Rhône producers. Each bottle makes dinner a little more chic and adds some earthy spice and a juicy handful of cranberries, blood plums, cherries, and blue fruits. It’s bold in flavour but kept sensible with tannin.

Pierre Amadieu Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2022

Things keep savoury and tight, even with a delightfully refreshing smidge of apricot, and there’s enough acidity to walk with bliss to the cheese fridge after scooping up this bottle.

Mas des Bressades Grenache Blanc 2022

Sumptuous Muscat from Domaine des Bernardins, an icon of the Beaumes de Venise appellation (and they even helped create the AOC!). (375ml) 15.0% ABV

Romain Le Bars  Les Vestides Cinsault 2023 NFD

Fleshy, but with a tangy edge and some lovely florals. It’s an amazing dinner party wine because everyone will love it, not many will know it, or even know about Cinsault's juicy charms. Has the whole grenadine and red cherry thing going on. Yeah, we love this one.
