The Chalky White

Tule Bianco, Ciello & Baglio

11.75

£

Macerated on their skins for just three days, you just notice the tannins & slightly nutty, chalky aroma from the skins. Lots of spice, stone fruit, & hints of floral. A BARGAIN and one you will find yourself reaching for again and again.

Tule Bianco, Ciello & Baglio

The Fresh White

Reflektief, Rook en Spieëls

12.5

£

A beaut of an everyday wine. Zippy with lemon pie, grapefruit peel, and orange. Almost spritzy texture and salt air finish. A natural crowd pleaser that is more than just a bottle of white wine. Try this if you like Riesling.

A zesty and appealing organic Gavi from the Tassarolo zone, close to La Battistina and regarded as one of the best vineyard areas in the Gavi region.

Gently aromatic with zesty citrus, stone fruit and white flower characters. Lime, honeysuckle and mineral notes come to the fore on the expressive, vibrant palate. Ripe and textural with taut acidity leading to a clean, zingy finish.

The Patio White

Abismo, Adegas Terrae

14.5

£

Don't worry about how to pronounce it...(tray-sche-door-uh) just know its a zippy bright wine, packed with melon, peach, and honey notes. A slightly salty waxy finish, with a hint of pecan. Perfect patio sipper when the sun is shining (ha we live in England)

Abismo, Adegas Terrae

The Lush White

Cotes du Rhone Villages Blanc, Chateau Maucoil

14.5

£

Weight, not wood brings richness here. An oily waxy texture, a nose very similar to Sauternes. Dried apricots & herbs, hay, with candied orange peel. Lemon peel freshness and unripe peach. A really fun wine when you want something more than just 'white wine'.

Cotes du Rhone Villages Blanc, Chateau Maucoil

The Crowd Pleasing White

Oscar Blanc, Domaine de la Dourbie

15.25

£

James and the Giant Peach as a wine. Big rounded peach, but with a lovely mineral dry finish. Grapefruit peel, apple skin, with a tiny bit of something wild. Crowd pleasing and interesting at the same time.

Oscar Blanc, Domaine de la Dourbie

The Savoury White

Experiéncia Paralleda, Succés Vinícola

16

£

A young couple changing the way you look at Catalonia wines using local grapes to create vibrant wines. CELERY, cucumber, & vegetal freshness. Not what you expect from a Cava blend grape. 50 12 hr skin contact, 50 21 day skin contact.

Experiéncia Paralleda, Succés Vinícola

The Aromatic White

Cora, Loxarel

17.5

£

We don't just love Cora for her sparkly tail. This wine just sparkles! Aromas of pear drops, apple, grapes, honeysuckle, jasmine, gooseberry, & blackcurrant leaf jump out of the glass. All balanced with a chalky finish.

Cora, Loxarel

The Zesty White

Grüner Veltliner Naturtrüb, MA Arndorfer Mitges

18.5

£

Grüner can be *cough* boring, this is not. Full of zest and vigour. Fresh yeast & white pepper right away, apricots, sage. Aromatic, but not floral. A viscous mouth coating texture. Wonderful as an aperetif. They should take a bow.

Grüner Veltliner Naturtrüb, MA Arndorfer Mitges

The Can't Go Wrong White

Mielie, Testalonga

19.5

£

You know when someone does something good, knows it's good, and it's just a bit annoying...that is this wine. Old vine Chenin, concrete ferment. Mineral, rich yet fresh. Apricot, grapefruit, wet gravel, quince, sugared lemon, cassia. Crushable yet elegant.

Mielie, Testalonga

The Dinner Party White

Ansonica, Cataldo Calabretta

20.75

£

The perfect wine for pairing with dinner. Starts out with pear, honeysuckle, and yellow apple. Finishes with walnut and a hint of bitterness and oily mouthfeel. Rich golden colour. Pair with grilled fish, pastas, roast veggies, grilled chicken...you get the idea

Ansonica, Cataldo Calabretta

The Wild White

Arbol Arriba Torontel, Vinateros Bravos

21.5

£

A 1er cru wine- this is the ****. A winemaker intent on making wines with a sense of place. Wild, flinty, and full of life. Grean & lean. Jasmine, lemon peel, flinty, peachy creaminess to finish. Length for days. Try it with Ottolennghi style salads.

Arbol Arriba Torontel, Vinateros Bravos

If You like Chablis

Bourgogne Aligoté, Domaine Goisot

22

£

Purity. Like biting into the ripest pear, juice dripping down your hand. But then comes vanilla, and spice, with herbal notes. A silky mouthfeel, with black currant, a touch of bitter citrus peel and length for days. Elegant and fun all at the same time.

Bourgogne Aligoté, Domaine Goisot

The Buttery White #2

Cantavento, Cantalici

22.5

£

Moveover popcorn butter, this is vanilla ice cream butter. Smooth like liquid silk- butterscotch, vanilla, & toffee followed by soft herbs & stone fruits. Malvasia is intoxicating & this wine will have you thinking about it weeks later.

Cantavento, Cantalici

Don't Call me Riesling

Riesling, Kumpf et Meyer

24

£

I bet you wouldn't guess this is riesling. Extremely natural. Perfumed but not how you expect. CURRY LEAVES, herbal and honeyed. Matchstick flinty, tar, petrol and spicy. Would work great with a curry. For the more adventerous

Riesling, Kumpf et Meyer

Domaine Désiré Petit Chardonnay Le Grapiot Sans Sulfites 2020

28

£

The fruit comes from 50-year-old vines and the winemaking story is one of less is more… The wine is fermented and aged in new oak foudres but with minimal toast, with no filtering, no added sulphites and no racking this is essentially left alone for its formative years.

Very fresh, precise and tidy this is a great example of a wine on the natural spectrum. Fruit, minerality and subtle oak all in perfect harmony.

A really delicious chardonnay. Not to natural or funky, you can really taste the care and quality here. I originally only bought 6 bottles, had a bottle and immediately bought more.

This vintage is gone for the year, so grab a bottle while it is still on the shelf.

The Impressive White

Willamette Blanc, Kelly Fox

30

£

If Kelley had the means, this would have been sparkling. But alas...Imagine all the aromas of champagne. Apple turnover, with pomelo. Strawberry shortcake!! Toasty, rich savoury & oh so silky. One to impress. The colour is gorg.

Willamette Blanc, Kelly Fox

Lord of Dogtown

Lord of Dogtown, El Bandito, Testalonga

35

£

10 day skin maceration, fermented dry. Glorious aromasof pear, white flower, peach, grapefruit. Your nose thinks sweet, palate tells you no! This is the ultimate aperitif patio sipping white wine in my opinion. I would sit and sniff all day long. F*cking A, this is good

Lord of Dogtown, El Bandito, Testalonga

The Prosecco

Prosecco Spumante Brut, Ceradello

12.25

£

Prosecco at the drier end of the scale, just a whisper of sweetness. Bright pear, lemon, peach all tied up with the mousse-y texture Prosecco is known for. A lovely start to a meal or with brunch.

Prosecco Spumante Brut, Ceradello

The Brunch Fizz

Lemoss, Ca' di Rajo

16

£

Think Prosecco is only for cheap bottomless brunch? Think again. Made the old school Col Fondo way (Pet nat). High quality grapes & care = bright lemon, green pear, ozone, hints of vanilla, concrete with nairy a drop of sugar.

Lemoss, Ca' di Rajo

The Hazy Fizz

La Planta, Mas Goma

21

£

A cloudy traditional method sparkling wine, that's cava but not. Lots of cola and vanilla spice, red apple and leesy bready notes. Refreshing with lots of complexity. For when you are bored with Champagne. Aged 24 months

La Planta, Mas Goma

The Rich Champagne

Goustan Blanc de Noirs, Brut Nature, Val Frison

58

£

Rich, espressive fruit notes of white cherry with a wonderfully savoury li-smacking palate all framed by a persistent Chablis like minerality and acidity that keeps everything in harmony. Barrel fermented, 19 months in bottle.

Goustan Blanc de Noirs, Brut Nature, Val Frison

The Orange Fizz

Col Tamarie, Vigna San Lorenzo

19.5

£

Organic only begins to describe this 'mountain prosecco'. True stewards of their land. A field blend of grapes, that spends some time on their skins. Pear, lychee, ginger, black tea, with a bit of cedar. Natural, but not funky. Prosecco ain't boring here.

Col Tamarie, Vigna San Lorenzo

The English Fizz

Pinot Noir Pet-Nat, Saddle Goose wine

30

£

Fine wines made naturally. That's Adam's goal. This tastes just like a tart rhubarb, clean, bright citrus, elegant. All done with minimal intervention. It's still lively! Open with caution.

Pinot Noir Pet-Nat, Saddle Goose wine

The Brunch Fizz #2

Roc' Ambulle, Domaine le Roc

18

£

Pet Nat this good sells out quick. Brimming with red fruits- cherry, currants, cranberry, with mousse like bubbles. So easy to drink and at 9 abv you can still be productive after brunch. AND it's dark pink.

Roc' Ambulle, Domaine le Roc

The Antipasti Rosé

Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, Gianni Masciarelli

14.75

£

A regional style of rosè, know for its deep red colour (cerasuolo =cherry in Italian). A more intense rosè with herbs, orange peel, red berries and some rose petal. Delicious with garlicky salami, spicy tomato, and fish soups

Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, Gianni Masciarelli

The Quirky Rosé

Txakoli de Getaria Rubentis Rosado, Bodegas Ameztoi

18.75

£

Like drinking liquid sunshine. Crunchy, fun, & oh so drinkable. It has a bit of a cult following. Watermelon up front, with jalapeno pepper, tomato vine, bubblegum, green pineapple, with its signature spritz

Txakoli de Getaria Rubentis Rosado, Bodegas Ameztoi

The Sunday Roast Red

Tule Rosso, Ciello & Baglio

11.75

£

This wine is like your friend who always looks fabulous but swears they spend no more than £10 on clothes. Rich black plum, pepper spice, autumn leaves with a bit of tobacco. Creamier than you expect, with a hint of natural 'funk' at the end, similar to a cow field. Brilliant for Sunday Roast, bring two bottles. You'll finish the first before you even start eating.

Tule Rosso, Ciello & Baglio

The Easy Drinking Red #2

Adaras Aldea Tinto, Venta la Vega

12.25

£

When asked, my husband guessed this wine was £22 a bottle. It's awesome. High altitude vineyards keep it from becoming too jammy. Lots of deep plum, blackberry, kirsch, a bit of fresh sawn wood. Lovely slightly chilled.

Adaras Aldea Tinto, Venta la Vega

The Smokey Red

Gran Cerdo Tinto, Gonzalao Grijalba

12.5

£

A perfect wine if you like traditiona Rioja but want to push the boundaries. BBQ smoke, meaty with bags of dark fruits. Natural fermentation keeps it fresh. This is perfect with grilled meats, roasts, and honestly, drinking on it's own!

Gran Cerdo Tinto, Gonzalao Grijalba

The New Georgian Red

Saperavi, Teliani Valley Winery 97

14

£

A more Western style of Saperavi, that really showcases the grape. A short maceration in stainless lets all the peppery herbal goodness shine through. Big tannins, but not aggressive. Dark berry, with a hint of cocoa, and inviting acidity. A lovely wine, from what people call the mom & pop of Georgian wine making.

Saperavi, Teliani Valley Winery 97

The Easy Drinking Red

Oscar Rouge, Domaine de la Dourbie

15.25

£

Like Beajoulais? Waiting for November? Give this a go now. Silky texture, with a bit of bannana amongst soft spice, bright red fruit. A touch of spiced smoke keeps it from being to insipid. Lovely chilled, it's fresh and crunchy.

Oscar Rouge, Domaine de la Dourbie

The Oaky Red

Ternario 1, Venta la Vega

16

£

Don't buy cheap oak. Buy this. 8 months in concrete, 6 months in French oak. Blackberry, blueberry, menthol-y smoke, with a touch of vanilla. Finishes with black tea & is surprisingly refreshing. A stunning wine, easily paired with lots of food.

Ternario 1, Venta la Vega

The Wild Steakhouse Red

Salvaje Syrah, Emiliana

16.5

£

Move over American Zin. This is the Marbol Man of wines. Wild, rugged, and handsome. BBQ smoke, black olive, dark brambley fruits, plum jam, tobacco, spices, yet a perfumed raspberry nose. Full bodied but very drinkable. Complex and brooding.

Salvaje Syrah, Emiliana

The Everyday Red

Sincero, Cosimo Maria Masini

17

£

Welcome to the Super Happy Tuscan Blend! Deep, jammy, with a silky mouthfeel, but retains freshness. Unctuous, with good vegetal notes. Black fruits, blueberry, deep plums, just a hint of flowers. A real crowd pleaser.

Sincero, Cosimo Maria Masini

The Classic Red

Rosso di Montepulciano 2018, Cantine Innocenti

17.5

£

Confusingly, this is not made from montepulciano grapes. Rather it hails from the DOCG Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. With all the classic Italian aromas- stewed plums, sourdough, barnyard, leather, cocoa and spices. Six months in old oak.

Rosso di Montepulciano 2018, Cantine Innocenti

The Rich Red

Météore Faugères Les Léonides

19

£

Named after the 200m wide meteorite crater that is in the middle of the estate. This is powerful without being overpowering. Like your nan. Earthy meatiness, with mint, thyme, rosemary. Then dark black fruits, currant, blackberry, with a graphite finish (you know you licked your pencil). Luscious silky tannins. 28 days maceration followed by 28 months maturation in fibergalss.

Météore Faugères Les Léonides

The Chillable Red

Crazy Javali, Quinta do Javali

19

£

Named after the crazy pigs that roam the vineyards, this laughs in the face of everything you think you know about Doura. Young, crisp, light, quaffable. Strawberries, raspberries, gooseberry refreshing and utterly fun.

Crazy Javali, Quinta do Javali

The Charcuterie Red

Trousseau, Bodegas Miras

20.75

£

Pop this in the fridge to chill, slice that meat & boom! Enough tannin to keep the palate cleansed, without overpowering. Elegant with raspberry & blueberry jam, slightly menthol, and spices in the background. Subtle, but with character.

Trousseau, Bodegas Miras

The Spiced Red

Melogna, Monte di Grazia

21.5

£

Volcanic soils + micro climate + pre phyloxera grapes = WOWSER Like walking into a Marrakech Souk. Cinnamon, cassia, nutmeg, tonak and sandalwood. Red ripe strawberry, dusty earth, and slightly animalistic.

Melogna, Monte di Grazia

The Herbal Red

Cab Franc, Perusini

22.5

£

Elegant & entralling, like Dame Judi Dench. From near the border of Slovenia, Perusini has been around since th 1700s. Bay leaf, eucalyptus, black pepper. Fragrant with silky tannins. Chill down slightly.

Cab Franc, Perusini

The Roast Lamb Red

Franche Lippée, Domaine Jeandaugé

24

£

A funky, peppery rustic number, just like roast lamb! Carbonic keeps it fresh with blueberry & violet. Roasted nuts on the finish with a spritzy texture. Not a typical syrah at all. Finish this in a night, don't save it.

Franche Lippée, Domaine Jeandaugé

In Praise of the Funk Red

Trebbiolo Rosso, La Stoppa

25.5

£

I've been searching for a wine like this for YEARS. An intensely earthy nose (fennel, salami and horses) with JUICY red fruit on the palate. Some spices, tea, & rose. Lighter bodied, with bold tannins. Unoaked. Not for everyone, but for some.

Trebbiolo Rosso, La Stoppa

The Elegant Red

La Souteronne, Domaine Romaneux-Destezet

35

£

Some wines stick with you. This is one of them. 60-80 yr old vines. Fermentation in old barrels. A truly superb Gamay with a lovely mineral edge, meatinessm dark fruits, and utter elegance, We waited a year for this to come back on the shelf. Sigh.

La Souteronne, Domaine Romaneux-Destezet

Cavarodes Pinot Noir Lumachelles 2021

Cavarodes Pinot Noir Lumachelles 2021

47

£

The Lumachelles plot sits in the northern sector of the Jura, just above Arbois. Prime territory IMHO. Ultra light and delicate, with a raspberry laden fruit profile. Red ferments at Cavarodes are always semi-carbo, so things are bright and airy.

Cavarodes Pinot Noir Lumachelles 2021

The Georgian Orange

Kakhuri No8, Teliani Valley Winery 97

14

£

The perfect wine to get into traditional Georgian orange wines...a merino wool sweater, not your school uniform sweater. Not too tannic, but plenty of body. Rich nutty aromas, dried orange, bruised apple with a refreshing but not bracing acidity. Drink cool, not cold.

Kakhuri No8, Teliani Valley Winery 97

The Orange Rosé

Salamandre, Château de Saint-Cyrgues

16.5

£

Or should it be rose orange? Ten days skin contact, but with so much fruit. Nectarine, white peach, orange blossom, a lovely creaminess akin to peach pie. Interesting, gluggable, & works splendidly with all the bright & fresh summer foods.

Salamandre, Château de Saint-Cyrgues

The Rock 'n Roll Orange

Vino El Pago Blanco, Azpillaga Urarte

22

£

You might confuse the winery with a car garage, given it's corrugated shed like appearance. But that's because this wine & Eduardo isn't about bullshit. It's about good farming = great wine. Carbonic maceration, 45 days on skins, 12 monts on lees. White fruits, juicy salt, and their distinctive rusticness make it irresistible.

Vino El Pago Blanco, Azpillaga Urarte

The Earthy Orange

Cosi Joan, Mas Goma

26.5

£

A lovely textural orange. 21 days on skin, 6 months in amphora. Nutty with lots of forest floor, mushrooms, black pepper, and bay leaf. Ripe apricot, bruised apple and chamomile. Really beautiful.

Cosi Joan, Mas Goma

The Lip Stinger White

Lévre Piquante, Picpoul de Pinet, Cave de l'ormarine

11.75

£

This wine has actual zing, like sticking your tongue on a battery. So fresh & crisp! Wet gravel, with citrus, stonefruit, gooseberry, green apple and a bit of peony. A great texture. Delicious with roasted garlic anything.

Lévre Piquante, Picpoul de Pinet, Cave de l'ormarine

The Fresh White #2

Costieres de Nimes Blanc, Chateau l'Ermite d'Auzan

12.25

£

A bouncy little wine...big whiffs of Midori, peach quince, candied citrus and tons of juicy ripe apple. Some gentle spices and ginger all with a clean fresh finish. A perfect wine for fish & chips.

Costieres de Nimes Blanc, Chateau l'Ermite d'Auzan

The Pasta & Pizza White

Gran Cerdo Blanco, Gonzalao Grijalba

Gran Cerdo Blanco, Gonzalao Grijalba

The Easy Drinking White

Gaillac Blanc Sec, Chateau Clement-Termes

13.75

£

Not like any other white wine we've come across at this price point. A slightly savoury edge, akin to Fino sherry. Perfumed with apple blossom, spices, ripe tree fruits. Soft & pretty.

Gaillac Blanc Sec, Chateau Clement-Termes

The Dry Herbal White

Oris Falerio, Ciu Ciu

14.5

£

Bright, fresh and sure to please. Green Apple, lots of dried herbs, imagine a celery & apple salad. Crisp and crunchy. Will work a treat with grilled fish or white meats, salads and lightly sauced pastas.

Oris Falerio, Ciu Ciu

The Spicy Food White

Fritz Willi, Friedrich Wilhelm Gynasium

14.75

£

A deliciously quintessential Riesling. Bright citrusy lime with that dusty riesling nose. An off-dry style, but balanced perfectly making it refreshing & moreish. Great with anything spicy.

Fritz Willi, Friedrich Wilhelm Gynasium

The Mineral White

7 Siete Pulgadas Albariño, Adegas Terrae

16

£

Galicia's quitessential grape. Aromatic with white peach, jasmine, nectarine, and bright lemon & grapefruit. Finishes with it's signature saline minerality. Perfect aperitif with fried salty foods. Will be drunk way to easily

7 Siete Pulgadas Albariño, Adegas Terrae

The Mineral White #2

El Pinto Palomino, Hacienda La Parilla

16

£

Hold on to your horses. This is not a wine for everyone. Incredibly savoury with chalky minerality & a saline finish. Almonds, apple peel, orange peel, with that sherry like oxidation tying it all together.

El Pinto Palomino, Hacienda La Parilla

The "Interesting" White

Nosso, Bodegas Menade

17.5

£

Natural verdejo from 780m up. Like walking in a pizza shop that's also baking pastries- dried fennel, butterscotch, toffee, with a concrete mineral finish. Then honeyed notes along yeasty bready aromas. Intriguingly good

Nosso, Bodegas Menade

The Junior Sancerre

Cheverny Blanc, Domaine du Salvard

18

£

Brance yourself for the great Sancerre shortage, it is coming. Cheverny is located right next door, and has all the same elegance. Classic Savvy B notes- grass, elderflower, gooseberry, pepper, bright grapefruit, hazlenut, & slate. The Chardonnay adds roundess to the body

Cheverny Blanc, Domaine du Salvard

The Roast Chicken White

Saint-Mont Blanc Millésime d'Exception, Producteurs Plaimont

19

£

A weirdo in as most desirable way...Rare grapes, old, and stories to tell. Expect petrol, herbs, butterscotch & deep honeyed orange with a lovely rounded texture.

Saint-Mont Blanc Millésime d'Exception, Producteurs Plaimont

The Dinner Party White #2

Marius Blanc, Domaine de la Dourbie

19.5

£

A wine that is sure to please most everybody. Bright acidity, with a rounded mouthfeel. Lots of peach, fresh mint, and honeyed spice. This will pair with everything from grilled fish to roast chicken.

Marius Blanc, Domaine de la Dourbie

The Rich White

Le Oche, Fattoria San Lorenzo

21

£

A rich wine intense with oiliness, herbs, caramel, apricots & hazelnuts, with citrus lifting it all. This isn't brash like American Chardonnay, but definitely ticks the same boxes.

Le Oche, Fattoria San Lorenzo

The White Burgundy Alternative

Godella, Bodegas Godeval

21.5

£

Godello would have been lost if not for this bodega who sought to save it back in the 80s. Considered Galicia's noble grape. Weighty sticky texture, with emphasis on soil like minerality. Ripe pineapple & banana, meyer lemon, heather honey, anise, and cantaloupe. Rich with a dry clean finish.

Godella, Bodegas Godeval

The Retro White

Roussette de Savoie Cru Frangy, Domaine Bruno Lupin

22

£

You can imagine having this with fondue and 80's tunes in the background. Funky, but not natural wine funky. Honey, pear drop, dusty stones, petrichor, rosemary with cantaloupe. Sappy herbal notes and eucalyptus on the finish. A whisper of sweetness. Don't let old school die out. Drink this and forget about marketing.

Roussette de Savoie Cru Frangy, Domaine Bruno Lupin

The Dinner Party White #3

Albillo Real, Bodegas Arrayan

22.5

£

A really classy wine from a female winemaker. The aromas of fall in Southern Spain. Oak and two days on skin brings a waxy texture, with stone fruits, fennel, white flower and honey. Refreshing acidity & a mineral finish. One for a dinner party.

Albillo Real, Bodegas Arrayan

The White Burgundy

Macon-Loché Cuvee du Clocher, Domaine Tripoz

27

£

What more can you want? Imagine champagne in a still wine. Stainless steel, but so much yeasty breadiness (imagine Twiglets). Luscious ripe orchard fruits, & creaminess from malolactic. It is had an incredibly long finish, with sharp acidity that brings you back for another sip.

Macon-Loché Cuvee du Clocher, Domaine Tripoz

Pet Nat, Strange Kompanjie

14

£

Fun, fresh, and fizzy! Perfect while you�re cooking dinner and that big red is sitting. Bright lemon & grapefruit, fresh stone fruit, and just a bit of yeasty bread. Not complicated- you don�t always need a Twin Peaks plot line.

Pet Nat, Strange Kompanjie

The Elegant Fizz

Masia d'Or, Can Virgili

18.5

£

Don't you dare say Cava is bad, not after this bottle. A blend of 24 month old vintage cavas, with slightly younger vintages. Dreamily rich, with petrichor, baked apple, pear, juicy lemon, & pastry. Bone dry. This bottle is ready to impress.

Masia d'Or, Can Virgili

The Classic Fizz

Vouvray Brut, Domaine Champalou

26.5

£

This sparkling wine makes you sit up. Not because it's serious, rather because it has the 'it' factor. Rich honeyed fruit, delicate bubbles & a touch of hay. Perhaps even a hint of curry leaf. This steals Champagne's thunder.

Vouvray Brut, Domaine Champalou

The Vintage Champagne

Portlandia, Brut Nature, Val Frison

70

The Pizza Pasta Fizz

Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce, Cantina di Soliera

10.5

£

DRINK MORE LAMBRUSCO. Don't keep snubbing sparkling red. Yes, there's a touch of sugar but that balances the acid and tannin. It's pure cherry, licorice, red currant deliciousness, with a whiff of flowers. Bring me another bottle!

Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce, Cantina di Soliera

The Easy Orange

Emiliana Animalia

15

£

Like a Savvy B who is used to hanging out in Belgravia has been in Patagonia for 6 months. Typical Savvy B on the nose, but there's texture here from 5 months in concrete eggs on skins. But it isn't aggressive. Lovely hints of dried herbs and chamomile. A perfect gateway orange.

Emiliana Animalia

The Provence Rosé

2800

17.5

£

As Provence as it gets. Delicate, with subtle red fruits, grapefruit. Zesty, with a dry herbal finish. Slip on those sunnies, and get ready to soak up the sun. All 2800 hours (that's how many the grapes soaked up!)

The Steakhouse Red

Pirouette, Château les Vieux Moulins

Damien has bucked the trend becoming organic in Bordeaux. It has paid off. Deep plum, spice, a tight mineral core. Gentle extraction = balanced tannins. Malolactic adds roundness. Delicious with or without a glorious steak.

Imagine a slice of tart cherry pie right after blowing out birthday candles. Slightly smokey, subtle spice, herbal cola notes, & hints of cedar. Some warm almond maple notes. Pureness of the grapes shines through. Decant and drink slightly cool. The colour makes you think it will be heavier than it is.

Coyam, Emiliana

Emiliana's iconic blend, this wine screams Chile. Very Bordeaux-esque with leafy green pepper and charcoal notes. Packed full of dark fruits, oak brings refinement. Proof that 'natural' doesn't mean funky.

From SVQ, Colonais de Galeon, 2010

£

A seriously lost luggage wine...found lost in the warehouse last week, uncovered, tasted and determined to be DELICIOUS. Not much is known, but going off what we knew about the other SVQ, it's a natural wine from the national park in Seville.

We are guessing it is a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Cab Franc & Pinot Noir...but could possibly have some tempranillo in there as well.

This is the type of wine you would find on the bottom shelf at some old liquor store and think, absolutely not. Look at that label.
Let me tell you, you want this in your face. It has aged beautifully, has great leather, black cardamom, spicy berry, and eucalyptus. Grab one while you can. We only have 18 bottles and it is gone forever!

£

Gamay from the Beaujolais. Chiroubles to be precise. 100% Gamay, made with the use of semi-carbonic maceration to highlight the fruit and give the wine some lighter, spicier notes. Expect lots of red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry, as well as some hints of cinnamon and even banana. A silky texture and gorgeous mouthfeel just ooze drinkability. This is a ripe and juicy wine that is sure to please anyone with its elegance and approachability, and it can cellar for a lot longer still.

This is mostly party in the back. 3 weeks on skins for the semillon, riesling with botrytis, fermented for 4 months, then 12 months on lees, then 12 months in foudre. Preserved lemon, mint tea, orange peel, guava, curry leaf and ripe stone fruits. Bigger tannins, but never aggressive. Grab it while you can.

The Savoury Orange

Macerado Edicion Limitada, Bodegas Honoria Rubio

I mean orange wine is esoteric enough, but one from Rioja? From a guy who doesn't like orange wines? Yes please. Olive brine is the first thing, followed by overripe fruits, baked apple, walnut, pecan and burnt sugar. Lovely clean finish, with integrated tannins.
