Grape varieties: 60% Cinsault – 40% Carignan

From Pic St Loup, which is 35 km north of Montpellier. The area is surrounded by wild forest and garrigue, giving local wines a wild herby tinge. This is clean, purple, and very drinkable. Made without sulphites which makes the wine even fresher. Highly recommended.

A delicious Fourcas, bursting with black fruit flavours, dark chocolate and a touch of forest floor. The tannins are finely poised and the finish is long.

A delicious organic rose from the heartland of Cotes de Provence.  Lovely creamy texture, with fresh grapefruit, peach, and strawberry aromas that follow through on the palate. Very gastronomic, with good body and refreshing acidity. Outstanding quality at this price.

This wine is a true reflection of its terroir, where gravelly soils meet the influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines thrive, producing grapes of remarkable depth and complexity. This classic Cru Bourgeois is a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon selected from the best grapes and oldest vines on the property. Aged for 12-18 months in oak, it is generously fruited with good structure, supple tannins, and a well-balanced finish.

35 year old Merlot vines plus a permanent grass cover and green harvesting keep yields low and the wine concentrated and ripe. 85% of the wine is matured in concrete vats and 15% in barrel for at least three years.

A ripe and pure nose, offering creamy black fruit and dark roast coffee. Tannins are firm but ripe and beautifully pure and linear, and the palate is concentrated and already well-knit, if still a little youthful. Packed with intense black, mulberry-flavoured fruit, the ripeness makes this very drinkable now and it will continue to develop more complexity over the next 5 years.

Having been fortunate enough to taste the last 10 of the last 20 vintages of Musar, the 2000 in our minds is one of the very best, at an absolutely perfect stage of maturity.

Quite Burgundy-esque on the nose and palate; soft, velvety, peppery, spicy and earthy.The years have been kind and there is still sweet fruit to the fore and succulence on the finish. Dried rose petals, leather and dried fig linger on the tongue. A truly exceptional wine from the world-class estate in Lebannon's Bekaa Valley.

Make no mistake, we are in world class territory. Robert Parker compared the sweet wines of Tirecul as the most notable sweet wines from anywhere in the world. Les Pins is the estates entry level sweet wine.

Pascal Delbeck was in charge of the vineyards and the cellar at the neighbouring properties of Chateau Ausone and Chateau Bel Air, two of the finest vineyards on the limestone bedrock of the St Emilion ‘Côte’. Following the death of the owner, Madame Dubois-Challon, Pascal continued to live at Bel Air which was left to him in her will, a clear tribute to his skill and integrity, but eventually that vineyard was acquired by the Moueix family and Pascal devoted himself to his vineyard of Tour du Pas St Georges, a few kilometres to the north of St Emilion itself. Here he has overseen the production of a thoroughly authentic wine of its ‘terroir’ which we have bought with much enthusiasm, both for its quality and its extraordinary value for money .

Ciacci make wines across the Montalcino region of Tuscany. This Rosso wine is comprised of 85% Sangiovese blended with 15% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah planted to vineyards located at 240-360 meters above sea level, where galestro soils dominate. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in cement vats. Sour cherry, spices and violets dominate, underpinned by subtle herbaceous notes and good grip from fully ripe tannins. An authentic Tuscan wine of superior quality. 

Ruby red in colour. Fruity aromas of ripe berries with balsamic notes on the nose predict an alternation between sweetness and acidity in the mouth. Its sweet-acid components evoke raspberry and ripe blackberry. Spicy finish recalls star anise and pink pepper. Powdery tannins.

A perfect blend of 4 grapes. The black fruit spiciness of Syrah, deep perfume from Petit Verdot,  plummy juiciness from Merlot, and deep power of Cabernet Franc. The palate begins fresh and fruity, evolving into riper flavours and rich black fruit notes, with elegant tannins and a fine, bright finish. Some whole bunch inclusion brings a brightness that lifts the wine. Moreish acidity and food-friendly tannic structure make this wine an epicure’s delight. Orgonic and Biodynamic.

The Producer; Circle of Life Red is neither defined by grape varietals, nor indeed a specific block within the vineyard, but instead encapsulates the myriad soils, aspects, altitudes and grape varieties found on this windswept, biodynamic farm. Grapes are hand-harvested and brought to the cellar by horses for hand-sorting. Bordeaux varietals are de-stemmed, whilst Rhone varietals are not de-stemmed. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with wild yeast in large, open-top wooden fermenters with foot-pressing or manual punch-downs, ageing for 20 months in the same vessels. The components are then blended and the wine ages further in large wooden foudre. No fining, just a light filtration. No additions other than sulphur. Vegan friendly, biodynamic wine.

6 Classic Cocktail Cans

Distinct and luscious. Flavours of dark plum, cherry liqueurs, cola cube and old fashioned root beer leads to complex flavours of integrated oak, spice and a smooth and juicy finish. A wine which combines plenty of ripe cherry fruit with a unique soul and character.

Clos del Rey Sabina White is a zesty and fresh blend of Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris that balances opulent fruit with vibrant freshness. Lemon yellow in colour, it shows aromas of white-fleshed fruit, citrus, and subtle exotic and mineral notes. On the palate, it’s generous, with fantastic pure fruit and a lively acidity leading to a mouthwatering finish that echoes fresh fruit. This is a really well-made Côtes du Roussillon white wine with that is just a joy to drink.

Legendary wine from a legendary estate, this really is the stuff of legends! Since the Judgement of Paris, Clos du Val have been setting the standard for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is bold, plush, rich and ripely fruited, and just hugs you like a bear. When Bordeaux becomes a little blasé, you go to Napa for some blue-sky thinking. You can literally taste those long, sunny California days when you drink a wine like this. Decant before serving. Often better the next day, if you have any left…

A classic Marlborough Sauvignon blanc, showing great vibrancy and a full aromatic profile. Bursting with gooseberry, passion fruit and elderflower, amongst fresh cut grass and lime. Bright and refreshing on the palate, with a mouthwatering finish that leaves you reaching for more!

A refined wine crafted from Arneis vines grown in the sandy, clay-rich soils of Canale, aged for six months in steel and a further two months in bottle before release. Bright straw-yellow in colour with greenish highlights, it offers an expansive fruity bouquet of apricot and white fruit, leading to an intense, full-bodied palate with a savoury-sweet finish—perfect as an aperitif or paired with shellfish and starters.

Pecorino has become very fashionable, and is now one of Italy's fastest-growing white varieties - although most plantings are still mainly in its Abruzzo home. It's a perfect accompaniment to the fantastic seafood of the region.

Rocco Pasetti's superbly sited, 30-hectare estate lies in the heart of the Collecorvino district in the hills northwest of Pescara, recognised as one of the best vineyard zones in Abruzzo. The wine shows a ripe, honeyed nose with aromas of white peach and citrus fruits, and subtle nutty, savoury notes. The palate is full and textured with pronounced minerality and delicate ripe fruit flavours leading to a long, spicy finish.Fermented in stainless steel to allow the full aromatic quality of the wine to present itself. Fans of Albarino will find much to enjoy here. 

A Nebbiolo rosé! A rarity indeed. This wine is absolutely perfect with BBQed red meats. It has a little more structure and tannins than your more usual pink wines and as such works really well with grilled steaks and lamb. I can really recommend this wine.

At last! There is so little of this wine produced that we have had to bide our time, cajoling and pushing
Pascal into letting us have an allocation. Finally, he has yielded, and we can now offer this lovely partner
to the Chardonnay. As a pair they are the perfect mid-week Burgundy.
Produced from 2 parcels of 73 year old Gamay vines, the grapes are fermented in old oak barrels and then
aged for 15 months. Beautifully constructed, there is so much energy in this wine – rich and succulent it
just makes me smile!

Produced from vines planted very close to the village of Meursault with an average age of 70 years.
Handpicked, gently pressed and the juice transferred into steel tanks to ferment with some lees stirring. A
very small proportion of new oak (5%), this is one the finest ‘value for money’ wines in Burgundy. Stylish, fruit
packed, with notes of tropical fruits, grapefruit zing and a wonderful textured, creamy mid palate. Tasted
blind, you would believe this wine is from a far higher appellation than mere Coteaux Bourguignons

Coterie – a small group with shared tastes or interests - and a group we enjoy being part of with wines of this quality! Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region. These cuvees are selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg.

Quite a grown-up wine, this is a textural, gently muscular expression of Cabernet Franc with Malbec. A Loire-inspired combination that was new in this South African model, but certainly a wonderful discovery. One wonders why it isn't being done elsewhere, but perhaps this special terroir plays as much a part. Rich, deep, and plummy from the Malbec, with fresh, herbaceous character supplied by the Cab Franc. Barrel fermented for 20 months. Great with grilled meats, especially lamb and spiced meat dishes.

GRENACHE NOIR 70%, CINSAULT 30% The grapes are sourced from vineyards cultivated near to Lake Thau, set in a formerly volcanic region just inland from the sea. This has a particular micro-climate – as the proximity of the water has a moderating affect on the typically Mediterranean temperatures, allowing optimal ripening whilst retaining fresh acidity. The grapes are harvested in the early morning, then the wine is vinified as a classic rosé de presse, with soft pressing and cold fermentation.

Distilled with nine botanicals, Cotswolds Dry Gin is a London Dry with an aromatic twist. Juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, local lavender, bay leaf, hand-peeled fresh lime and pink grapefruit zest, cardamom and black peppercorn are distilled in a copper pot still, resulting in a rich and robust, award-winning gin.

Cotswolds Distillery does not remove the essential oils in their gin as these create a rich flavour and mouthfeel. As a result, the gin forms a unique pearlescent cloud when ice or tonic is added, and it tastes delicious!

Pale Ale. Refreshing, hoppy, zest. Positively lacking in cow.

We are so proud to work with Stone Daisy Brewery. I used to travel to the Fonthill Estate to collect wine from our bonded warehouse. It is a beautiful place, and their spring water is the best I've tasted. When I discovered their brewery and tasted the beer I knew we had to introduce this incredible discovery to our customers.

This iconic cuvée of the house, created for the first time in 1876 for the Tsar of Russia, Cristal is crafted from 45 exceptional lieux-dits, spread across 7 Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs. Only created in very special vintages!

Aromas of intense ripe damson and black cherry with a hint of spice. Ripe and generous on the palate, robust and full-flavoured with intense plum and sour cherry fruit, balanced by tangy, juicy acidity, leading to a moreish finish.

A classic Southern Rhône red; friendly and warming autumnal, leafy aromas and an ample, baked fruit palate. A delicious, uncomplicated, soft, fruity and very drinkable red.  Made predominantly from a blend of Grenache and Syrah from the Vin de Pays de Vaucluse. Traditional Rhône-based viticulture is used, with part manual/part machine harvest. 

Drink with hearty food such as grilled meats and casseroles. Also great with BLTs, pizzas and mature, hard cheeses.

A blend of long-aged XO Grande Champagne Cognacs, Delamain Pale & Dry benefits from a lengthy two-year marriage period in cask after assemblage before being bottled, resulting in a beautifully smooth roundness and flavour integration on the palate.

Aniseed, figs, apricot, cherry and honeysuckle combine in a smooth and extremely elegant cognac. Nothing less than we'd expect from this house.

British-born, Indian-inspired Desi Daru's aptly-named No.1 Vodka has been lovingly made with English winter wheat and refined Himalayan water distilled seven times for ultimate purity. The result is a meeting of East and West; bold yet subtle, rich and clean in flavour.

Sweet and citrusy, this Mango-Flavoured Vodka mixes the rich sweetness of Indian Alphonso mangoes with notes of English wheat. It's no surprise it's been crowned World's Best Flavoured Vodka.

Rum exclusively from the pot still rums, aged twelve, and titrating the final 40 °

Soft nose, becoming powerful with aeration with dominant cooked fruit, blond tobacco and honey.

Aromas of great intensity and diversity on the palate: dry and stewed fruit, butterscotch, acacia honey, tan, tanned leather, sandalwood.

Undeniably one of the classics.

A great classic Burgundy, ideal with braised or roasted meats or a brioche sausage.

Bright ruby color. Fragrances of peony on greedy aromas of red fruits, spices and fine woody notes. The attack is frank, with a very fine aromatic expression. Beautiful energy on a supple texture and well-integrated tannins. Good length with spicy notes.

A lovely floral nose from the white grapes used. It is super-crunchy with fresh strawberry and cranberry fruit. The palate is ripe but the lovely fresh fruit character is beautifully balanced, a black treacle note brings a darker note to the finish.

Luscious, full and fruity dessert white from the Rhône made from a black-skinned variety of muscat that brings an enchanting bouquet, as well as a deeper colour.

Kalliope is made from white grape vines planted six years ago. It is a wink to our great grandmother who was from Crete and her perpetual good mood. It is also the name of one of the children of Greek god Zeus.

This cuvee shows the real potential of white wines made from schist soils. It is fine and complex and has great minerality. 

The fresh and mineral attack is supported by nice roundness. It’s an appealing wine that unveils its secrets all along the tasting.

It will pair perfectly with fish. For example a tartar of sea bream with artichoke hearts or gorgonzola risotto.

Vineyards are in the Hautes Côtes, at the top of the slopes just above Domaine de la Motte's Chablis classified plots and so achieve good ripeness. The soil is Portlandian, which is less chalky than Kimmeridgian, and typically produces wines which are less mineral and more fruity, well suited to earlier drinking. Having said that, Motte’s wine has real finesse with good fruit character – very much their house style. Cool-fermented in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation is also in stainless steel and the wine is unoaked.

Fairly restrained on the nose, savoury herbs and citrus on the palate. Well balanced with a suggestion of "hot stone" minerality. Old school, lean, and steely.

Very bright yet ripe with plenty of citrus pith. Clean as a whistle, that lip smacking acidity will ensure that first bottle will disappear pretty quickly.

This is such a great Touraine Sauvignon Blanc. Absolutely classis Loire restraint and class. Crisp with medium acidity and lovely depth of ripe fruit flavours. The perfect mid week tipple.

Viognier, Marsanne and Clairette blend. Rich and limpid, the almost exotic stone fruit flavours are restrained by precise notes of lime. The deftest touch of oak adds texture and weight without overwhelming any of the fruit characters, and the finish just keeps going and going. Truely a wonderful wine. Pair this with roast Chicken and be in foody heaven!

This estate is unique. The Carmargue is very low lying, sandy and with high water levels. The temperature remains warm at night due to the proximity of the sea. It is often windy and the air can carry all out of moisture. All of this is what Grenache Gris thrives upon. A stunning rosé that is anything but wishy washy. This packs a flavour punch and is excellent with food as well as a joy to sup on the terrace on a hot summers day. Let your senses take over and you will invisage the wild white horses splashing through the Carmargues watery plateau!

The Jaume family have been making wine in the Rhone since 1826. They still own the same vineyards and some of the vines are over 100 years old. This, their truly excellent Blanc de Viognier is testament to their achievements in making white Rhone wines of top quality at accesible prices. Organic.

Seductive and elegantly fruity with sweet cassis and blackberry aromas, this lovely wine has a juicy palate of raspberries and blackberries. 

This bone-dry blanquette has a tight and finely textured mousse. It shows great typicity with apple blossoms and honey on the nose with a bright, crisp and delicately nutty palate.

For us, Mercurey is a great option as prices remain very reasonable compared to the more illustrious appellations of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Michel Juillot’s 2023 ‘Vignes de Maillonge’ is our favourite right now. It’s silky, fresh and elegant with flavours ripe raspberry, cherry and sweet spice. Delicious!

The Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc from Sébastien Magnien showcases a clear, pale yellow hue and reflects the purity of high-altitude Burgundy vineyards. Crafted from Chardonnay grown on limestone-rich soils, the cooler conditions of the Hautes Côtes lend freshness and aromatic precision, while Magnien’s minimal-intervention approach allows the terroir to shine. The nose reveals bright citrus notes of lemon and green apple layered with delicate white flowers and a subtle mineral edge, leading to a lean, crisp palate with lively acidity and a light, chalky finish that is both elegant and refreshing.

Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez) is matured, separately in its own solera for 12 years. Once blended together, the resulting sherry is returned to a 45-cask solera for a further 3 years ageing. Dark mahogany in colour with green-amber edge. It offers vibrant notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, shoe polish, raisin and chocolate beer nuts, all very well integrated. On the palate it is smooth and rich at the beginning, full of prune and burned oranges peel flavours. Provocative spicy notes appear just before its nuttiness and terrific acidity cuts through the sweetness. With a truly unforgettable finish. 75 cl

A slightly different take on Garnacha, for Daniel. Perhaps a more modern approach, as it's completely produced in stainless steel. The wine is a little more focused on pure, berry fruit, with a light extraction. A natural fermentation and very light pigeage, combined with natural fresh acidity, leave a very drinkable wine. A little bit of floral and herbal notes, and soft tannin keeps interest on the pallet.

Designed to be approachable young, and to be enjoyed through the summer, perhaps chilled a little. A very drinkable red.

A red with layers of spicy fruit and damson, that massively over delivers.

Ripe, appealing aromas of plums, blackberries, and cherry and a hint of milk chocolate. Rich and spicy on the palate with dark fruit, balancing acidity and soft tannins.

Bodegas Juan Gil own over 500 hectares of vineyards, between 700 and 850 metres altitude, in the northwest of Jumilla: old bush vine Monastrell planted in chalky soils, and Shiraz grown in sandy soils on younger, trellised vines. Vinification is carried out at the winery in the heart of the Juan Gil vineyard area. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, temperature controlled, and the juice maintains contact with the skins during this 10-day process.

Will match up with rich pasta dishes with salami or ham, or a premium, meat-rich, lasagna with layers of meatballs and slices of pepperami in the mix! Sunny weather? - perfect for barbecues too.

Pale and delicate pink in color, it shows a fine, intense, persistent, and elegant bubble. On the nose, fruity aromas dominate (red fruits and citrus), while the palate is fresh, intense, and wild, characteristic of the ancestral and noble País variety.

A very smart Syrah from one of our favourite South African producers, this is plush, polished and seriously appealing. Fresh and lifted berry fruit aromas make for a very inviting nose; full yet elegant, with bramble, cassis and black cherry. These flavours follow on the palate with a typical Syrah note of black pepper spice. Fine, ripe tannins with a long rich, finish. Astonshing value.

Ideal with spicy dishes, red meats and rich Mediterranean dishes.

Sustainable viticulture, wild ferment, and no nasties. Proper wine, sensibly priced.

Grown, made and bottled in South Africa. It is crafted the wild way – old vine fruit from Stellenbosch and Swartland, fermented with wild yeast found naturally on the grapes…not in a packet. This magical transformation takes at least six months.
