This year's Screaming Betty is a little lighter than we saw last year, looking even fresher and more delicious than we remember. Fresh lemongrass, lemon-lime, green pear, and rock salt with a kick of white pepper spice.

Delinquente Screaming Betty Vermentino 2024

It’s important to stay grounded. Feeling dirt, floorboards, concrete or carpet through your feet can be powerful. When we found a wine full of earthy spices that struck a chord before petering into morello cherries and bitey tannin, we had to have it. This is too comforting and delicious to ignore.

Viña Ijalba Tempranillo 2021

A real aromatic number laden with honeysuckle, peach and lychees on the nose. In the glass, there's plenty of fruit up-front, florals, and a hint of bath salts all whipped up by some zippy citrus and pineapple of the finish.

Ciu Ciu Oris Falerio Bianco 2022

Very much a dry Prosecco, but one with a balanced bouquet of white florals. The palate is chalky and includes some lovely, refreshing green orchard fruit. Great with a handful of crisps, or some lobster tail linguine.

Rigoni Il Giusto Extra Dry Prosecco DOC NV

Aromas of dark berries & spice with a fruit-forward palate, and beautifully medium-weighted. Light, organic, delicious!

Mesta Tempranillo 2021

2022 is a little more complex rendition with more mineral impact, savoury saline and notes of straw, bitter lemon and talc. The palate is savoury and stoney, with lemon meal, salted rock and some pear pith. Yes, it’s delicious again and of course it'll go with oyster.

Bonnet-Huteau Dabinières Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine 2021

It feels like sitting at a cosy pub in late Autumn, early Spring and eating an amazing steak with peppercorn sauce while the AC fans warm air and that smell of cloves, leather and a fireplace (even though the fire’s not been lit in years) float through the air.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah 2022

Fruit flavours are ripe nashi, yellow pear, then there’s a little spice to give you some layered enjoyment. Perfect with anything from the sea, or just a packet of salty chips in the park. 1L also makes it one you won’t mind sharing, as much. (1000ml)

Nicolas Mariotti Bindi Zinzinu Vermentino 2022 1L

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

Brilliant winemakers. Fermented in amphora and oak and pouring with toasted brazil nut, lemon balm and a concentration, all of which will have you eyeing another glass before your done with your current one. Jump on in Chardy drinkers.

Dormilona Chenin Blanc 2024

Alla Costiera Bianco Costiera 2023

Sweet red currants and wild herbs wrapped in a thin sheet of leather. Smooth, flowy and held together with just enough tannin and a lingering raspberry tart note. Bring it to your next barbecue and enjoy.

Finca Las Moras Organica Malbec 2023

Ripe, weighty apples and blackcurrant fruits. Yum. Mesta always delivers and this is no different, there’s a chalky tannin finish and at the price, it’s reliable and tasty every night.

Mesta Rosato 2023

Mesta Grenache 2022

Grower Champagne – grapes are farmed, vinified, bottled and riddlered (bottles turned to incorporate phenolics) in-house. These are always bursting with terroir and represent the year and the land with just a little bit of the house’s inflexion. Here, it’s all taut and focused. This NV runs deep with some moreish texture. Seems like an ode to Langres cheese.
