Thörle is a much-acclaimed family domaine based in Saulheim in the Rheinhessen, and since 2006 it has been run by brothers Christoph and Johannes. The vineyards are managed organically, and the domaine is being taken in a biodynamic direction.

2021 was an interesting year for white wines, and although yields were down as a result of early difficulties with frost, the growing season meant that what remained on the vine was subjected to nigh on perfect, cool, growing conditions.

An exuberant and richly hewn wine that is as beguiling as it is moreish. Fine fillagree lies with flavours that range from lime to paech to honey and lily. Lasts forever on the palate. A sublime wine. 7.5% alc. 96/100

Bags of personality here in this southern Italian bombshell. Intensely flavoured and deeply coloured; black cherries and blueberry muffin come first, followed by underlying light tarry notes that bring an appealing umami richness. Tannic structure gives backbone to the weight of the fruit and its chocolatey richness. Pair this inky, blanket of a wine with spit-roast lamb, or lentils and bacon with roasted beetroot.

Looking for a fantastic everyday red? Look no more. Made in Verona from a blend of 40% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, (as found in Valpolicella) 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon (as found in Bordeaux), this cracker of a red delivers the best of both worlds. Packed with black and red cherry, dried plum and silky blackberry flavours. Unoaked, maintaining purity of flavour, with some dried grapes added to the mix (like Ripasso) bringing richness. Trastullo is an archaic Italian word that means something which gives you enjoyment. By name, by nature. Enjoy!

This Pinot Noir with garnet-colored juice is perfumed with fine spices (nutmeg and cinnamon), mocha, and Montmorency cherry.  Its texture finds its balance in a generous flavor that is felt in a velvety tannin highlighting the finesse of the grape variety.

The vineyards is full of Turitelles fossils, these marine sediments are carried by a limestone and clay base, forming sloping plateaus in the landscape, on which the vineyard is located. This terroir in the foothills of the Pyrenees is known for the quality of its hillsides and its sunny and cool microclimate.

Really easy drinking Chianti, without compromising on character. A splash of Merlot softens out the young Sangiovese, making it a perfect weeknight wine for pizza and pasta dishes. Cracking stuff and great value.

Our house Prosecco and a real step up on mass supermarket offerings, produced by a Cantina founded in 1947. Fresh and smooth, with notes of wildflowers and crunchy orchard fruit and bubbles that are fine and persistent. Perfect as an aperitif!

The grapes come into the winery as whole bunches because the Vallets believe that destalked wines lose their colour too quickly. The first 10cm of each barrel is filled with grapes which are crushed by foot, the barrel is then topped up with whole bunches and fermentation starts naturally after 2-3 days. Since yeasts are an expression of the individual vintage and vineyard, no artificial yeasts are used. 3-4 times a day the pulp is trodden by foot to further extract colour and flavour. The wines are left in open top fermenters until the cap sinks then decanted into 20-30% well-toasted new oak (a small percentage compared to most). After 15-20 months the wine is racked, blended and lightly fined. Wines are not filtered but checked by candlelight, then bottled directly from barrel by hand on a cask by cask basis.

Delicate garnet colour with peppery, strawberry fruit on the nose, the palate is light to medium-bodied with appealing nervy fruit and mouth-watering acidity balancing the dry tannins and elegant red fruit.

Founded by husband and wife team Daric Schlesselman and Sarah Ludington in 2012, Van Brunt Stillhouse was inspired by the pioneering spirit of Cornelius Van Brunt, who was a farmer in the Dutch colony of Breukelen. The American spirit is aged in small casks for 18 months to develop the unique depth of flavour, including honey, clover and marmalade notes for a sweet profile. The perfect way to finish off the evening.

From Patagonia, in the far south of Argentina, comes this terrific Pinot Noir. A cool climate of long warm days and very cold nights allow for a very clean and bright wine with huge intensity of flavours. Ripe red cherries and summer fruits abound and the finish is long and elegant. A real show-stopper and a GrapeSmith favourite.

The vineyards of Villa Enzo are positioned on the gentle slopes of Abruzzo and this wine is made in the traditional way from 100% Montepulciano grapes. There is no influence of oak so this purple/ruby coloured wine offers pure, vibrant aromas of red cherry fruit. The satisfying palate is rich with juicy fruit and very approachable, soft tannins. A classic Italian wine.

A family winery with heritage dating back to 1679, the Coetzees consider themselves caretakers and guardians of the beautiful lands they farm. Their wines reflect this ethos - not bending to whims and fashions - but holding fast to an idea of quality, purity, and working with natures bounty.

An exquisite, oaked Chardonnay, rich with aromas of dried pear and peach with a hint of vanilla on the nose with green apple and gooseberries on the palate and a lingering minerality. Just when you think it's done, the finish hits you with toast and butter and brioche that just goes on and on. An outstanding wine at this price. Capable of 10+ years ageing.

ThIs South African white is a blend of Chenin Blanc 50%, Viognier 20% and 10% Grenache Blanc with Semillon, Verdelho and Roussanne, all mountain grown fruit from estate vineyards, mainly Stellenbosch with small parcels from Swartland, Franschhoek and Paarl.  An epic, delightful blend from the ever inventive Donovan Rall. It is positively packed with rich, bright, fresh stone fruit and minerality and keeps on giving with a core of stoney acidity and a relentless finish. This is a wine to really savour. Try it with Asian dishes or Chicken in a creamy sauce. Heavenly!

Biodynamically farmed and 100% organic. A delicious blend of Sauvignon Blanc 57%, Chenin Blanc 39%, Semillon 4%. The Sauvignon Blanc aromas are prominent on the nose, with beautiful lime and prickly pear notes. Intense flavours, with great balance. A tight mineral core and creamy mid palate from the Chenin Blanc allows for great complexity and a persistent finish. The Sauvignon Blanc lends lovely, fresh acidity to the wine. The wine is made as naturally as possible with no added acids or enzymes. Quite frankly this is really outstanding value for a wine from low yieding vines, hand picked and transported to vinification on pack horses!

Florian Fauth is producing terroir focused, thunder charged wines from Rheinessen in Germany.
Produced from 100% Pinot Noir fermented in stainless steel Weingut Seehof Pinot Noir Rosé Trocken  is a very pale and very attractive rose. It’s properly dry with less than 3g/l residual and has real charm. Perfect for summer salads. This an absolute belter of a wine, and if you've never tasted a German Rosé before (go on admit it!) this will blow you away! Affectionatly known here as "the Kaiser" as its our king of Rosé!

Very taut and with real zing, this northern outlier reflects the more skeletal form of its native Chablis, as opposed to the more familiar, richer expressions further south. The commune of Préhy is the only one in Chablis where the "Bourgogne" appellation is permitted. The principle reason relates to the subsoil (Portlandian rather than Kimmeridgian). Despite its lean profile, full malo has given this skeleton a luxury cashmere sweater that softens and rounds out those angled edges.

Intensely fruity blackcurrant liqueur, not too sweet. made in Herefordshire. A powerful yet surprisingly fresh liqueur that is perfect for the British version of a Kir Royale.

From a truly local and truly EXCELLENT vineyard, comes this Champagne Method Sparkling wine.

How woud we descibe this..? Well, Italian Muscadet! Full of Sicilian lemon and sea salt character this is just the perfect wine to have with fish and seafood. An appealing savouriness, and good texture here too from some time spent on lees (also a common trait of Muscadet). Pair with lobster ravioli or crab linguine for a match made in heaven.
