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

Light and delicate. There’s a lot of subtlety and nuance here and everything runs pure thanks to most fruits being destemmed and only a week on skins. It’s chilled red with an undertone of earthiness that’s alive with strawberry and pomegranate.

Siren Wine The Empress Pinot Noir 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

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

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

We're falling for Charles Oliver. Since meeting him a couple of years ago and deep diving into his wine repertoire, we've found brilliance. This Rosato uses Shays Flat and Landsborough fruit, and has plenty of salty tannins washing through all the candied red fruits, white pepper and layered herbs. Hi Charles.

Charles Oliver Rosato Grenache 2024

Honky Chateau Fawnsy Skin Contact 2024

Rosende is a single vineyard that’s all granite and flecked sand underground. This produces a lot of texture on the palate but overall, the wine is elegant and clean with handfuls of pomegranate in every glass. We’d recommend decanting this one for 30+ minutes.

Envinate Lousas Rosende Mencia 2022

Envinate Lousas Doad Mencia 2022

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

We sent some of our retail staff to Latta and they came back going on and on about this Grenache which was still in barrel at that point, but wow. It’s all grown up now, and into a thought-provoking, delicious wine that’s full of strawberries, sweet spice and candied fruit.
