Like rolling/sliding down an icy hill on a lemon that needed another couple of days – are lemons just meant to drop? It’s not tart, there’s lime leaf and lees for breath and texture. So perfect with cos lettuce, bagna cuada and comte in the afternoon.

Babche Farmers Fizz Pet Nat 2024

Bursting with citrus zest and a nice dose of salty grapefruit snap, think lemon shortbread while you sip.

Cantina Furlani Vino Alpino Frizzante 2020

Clos Maurice Volage Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2022

This is Pool’s Vinho Verde so get fishing or head to your local monger, and get your paella dish out – if buying one, go ceramic, they’re easier to clean and you don’t have to worry about rust.

Pool Wines Verde Semillon 2024

We love this, and think it applies to refreshing wines in that if you want someone to feel refreshed, you should give them a refreshing, delightful Chardonnay that’s full of lemon leaf, citrus peels and just enough nutty creaminess to make the experience more textural.

Cre Chardonnay 2023

If she starts going on about her favourite Sparkling, which was the one she requested, just focus on the gentle sounds of the heavenly bubbles popping in your glass and know that there’s more for you. Tastes like lemon sorbet, but with an almost creamy texture.

The Other Right Bright Young Things Chardonnay Pet Nat 2023

Cabernet Sauvignon from the Shay's Flat parcel of the Chapoutier vineyard was picked ripe for a more gastronomic expression of rosé that embraces both texture and flavour. In the glass, it's loaded with varietal structure and tobacco-like spice, with some gentle oxidative handling bringing some lovely savouriness to the palate. Sip, savour, repeat.

A & C Ainsworth Rosé 2022

Made with Bianco D’Alessano, a somewhat obscure variety from Italy's Puglia region, this aromatic Pét Nat is awash with lemon pith and cream, custard apple, subtle tropical notes and a moreish creaminess. Super easy drinking, it'll be Tuff to go slow on this!

Delinquente Tuff Nutt Bianco d' Alessano 2024

Nero d’Avola and Vermentino could make for an odd couple, but what we have here is some great flow. It’s a juicy expression bursting with pink grapefruit delight! This practically parts the clouds with fresh acidity and a good squeeze of citrus and some sour cherry then a little quinine keeping it on the dry side.
