Plump, juicy and round with good bright and fresh acidity washing through to amplify the purity. Gets 8-12 months in concrete to keep things expressive and savoury and punching well above its price for Beaujolais village.

Phillipe Viet Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2023

Who’d have thought… Sangiovese plus Merlot and Sagrantino can equal a Gamay-like wine. When it’s light and delicate thanks to a favourable growing season and the vines being at altitude. Unique and lovely.

Beulah Violetta Stesso Stesso Rosso 2023

Colour and fruit in abundance for plenty of depth and a lot of super bright squishy berries that are kept savoury with just a pinch of aniseed-like spice. Serve it cool, not cold for the best of times.

David Morgan Quiet Wine Morgan Syrah 2023

Love it. Plump and juicy with salted plum before being tempered with a dusting of dried herbs thanks to the Cab Franc. We're calling it Autumn in a glass so play your favourite rendition of Autumn Leaves – Nat King Cole maybe?

Timothée Delalle La Burette Rouge 2022

A clean and plush expression with sweet whole berries and a flitting carbonic note. Very juicy and very pure, but it’s more than that thanks to a little mineral element and splash of dusty tannin.

Domaine Perol Pierres Dorees Bien Eleve Gamay Beaujolais 2023

Lunaria Charisma Trebbiano 2022

Sooty tannins with dark cherry and bitter amaro plus some bergamot and liquorice. Mayhem and innocence all at once delivered with a silky palette that embodies Sicily. Beauty in abundance.

Caruso & Minini Frapello Frappato Blend 2022

Zig Zag Rd Folk Nouveau Sangiovese 2023

Mostly Riesling with some Grigio and a little less Gewürtz. This is all high-flung acidity and a salty edge. Includes under ripe apricot and some moreish dried orchard fruit. Boogie appropriate, yes – but please pace yourself.

Konpira Maru Pan Opticon Riesling 2024

Fleshy strawberries and cherries with some dusky, chalky depth. Fruit was held in concrete and there was no fining or filtering, this is perfect for a LoFi devotee or a red-lover who’s a bit adventurous.

Antonio Camillo Mediterraneo Rosso 2023

Old school approach to Etna Rosso. That means liquorice root, soil-toned tannins and delicate fruit flavours that are long and persistent. These wines are cool to see, they remind us that Etna was producing brilliant wines way before it became a fashionable wine region.

Calabretta Gaio Gaio Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2021

A purpose built chilled red. Who knew sweet florals, spices and vibrant fruits could pour with such refreshing crunch? Aside from the winemaker – Lauren Hansen, whom we'd like to thank for this gem formally. Absolutely delicious

Bloomfield Petit Verdot Chilled Red 2024

Honky Chateau Fawnsy Skin Contact 2024

Lousas are the wines Envinate grow in Ribeira Sacra which is a slate-heavy pocket of Galicia that meanders along the Minho river. As with all Envinate wines, the terrier sings so you're left with a mineral, juicy and richly floral palate/nose that’s a good introduction to Galicia and Envinate.

Envinate Lousas Vina de Aldea 2022

A delicious blend of Fiano that saw four days on skins and whole bunch-pressed Pecorino has resulted in what can only be described as golden hour in a bottle. In the glass, expect floral jasmine and acacia alongside golden orchard fruits, touches of ripe pear and a luscious texture. A perfect match with prosciutto-wrapped melon, spicy Southeast Asian dishes or just a friend at sunset.

Parco Giallo 2024

Wild strawberries and raspberries that pour with some crisp, leafy tannins. There’s a little LoFi liberté here but it’s presented with that subtle Frenchness we love and comes wrapped in a firm tannin and bright acidity.

Cros des Calades Ballon Rouge 2023

To quote the producer... ‘It’s just the ease of it all.’ Marty’s a modest fella because there’s a lot of consideration and some smart winemaking that’s gone into this Vermentino. Consider his picking brilliant Tabilk fruit, fermenting for 7 days on skins and guiding the juice through carbonic maceration. It all adds up to brilliance and gives the profile a great blend of chamomile, honey and savoury freshness.

Elmore Vermentino 2024

It's amazing what can be done in a single work day, after 8 hours on skins, this Gris got even more peachy and introduced little softest tug of phenolic drive. And it still has the energy to impress you and all your mates – don't share it with too many people though, it's too valuable.

Latta Ex Nihilo Skin Contact Pinot Gris 2024

A BBQ Pét Nat if there ever was one. Smooth strawberry and crunchy red fruits come together savoury and dry. Tell your parents it’s Shiraz and watch the confusion for a moment before they try it, then the smiles at their first sip. Don’t worry if they don’t love it, that just means there’s more for you.

First Foot Forward Shiraz Pet Nat 2023

Violets and some tumbling true-to-Cab Franc greenery that’s kept red, in flavour, with wild plums – skins and all! Has all the Lofi jubey feels and can use a little chill to cool down that slow roast lamb you woke up at 7am to prep and put on.
