A tight, minerally wine with classic Hamilton Russell Vineyards length and complexity. Unusually prominent pear and lime fruit aromas and flavours are brought beautifully into focus by a tight line of bright natural acid and a long, dry minerality. An elegant, yet textured and intense wine with a strong personality of both place and vintage.

On low-vigour, stony, clay-rich soil, in a cool maritime mesoclimate, naturally tiny yields of well under 35 hl/ha give rise to a certain tightness, tannin line and elevated length to balance the richness and generosity of this Pinot Noir. The wine is not overtly fruity but it is soft and generous and shows hints of alluring savoury “primal” character along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume. Classy and classic.

Californian Samantha O'Keefe is really blazing a trail in the mountains above False Bay. Aged in some new as well as some old oak barrels, this wine is a poised and balanced as a ballerina, and equally supple, agile and lithe. I refuse to make the old comparisons to wines of the old world, because this could well be better. Yes, and guaranteed special corks guarantee zero corked bottles, mean that careful cellaring for up to 25 years will result in incomparable results. I would rather you drink this, but investors will also be rewarded.

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…

With its funky, wonky bottle, this is instantly eye-catching, but this wine is no novelty! Made from the Nebbiolo grape - of greater fame in Barolo - but making no less of a wine here. And easier to approach in early years. Aromas of eucalyptus, exotic spice, underbrush and aromatic herb lead the nose. The tightly knit palate offers cranberry, dried cherry, star anise and clove set against taut, close-grained tannins. Winner of the GamberoRosso Italian wine award for the region. An off-piste but truly rewarding wine from Piedmont. Bolognese anyone?

Kreuth is pale straw-colored with brilliant highlights, showing aromas of tropical fruits and minerals. It is a full-bodied, perfectly balanced wine that offers flavors of rich pear and apple nectar. Ideal with seafood, poultry or appetizers.

The Kreuth vineyard, where yields are strictly limited, is located at an altitude of 1,000 feet, rooted in volcanic soil. After a temperature-controlled fermentation in oak barrels this age-worthy wine is matured for 12 months in large oak casks, with 20% of the wine resting in barriques. The result is a wine of exceptional quality and poise that will evolve for many years in bottle. 13.5% abv

The Caparzo 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a ripe and well-balanced wine from a vintage that was much lauded in the press. Many of the regions wines were excellent this year, but Caparzo have shown ability to maintain elegance and restraint amongst the many overblown and high alcohol examples that resulted from this very warm vintage. At 13.5% abv the wine shows full phenolic ripeness without becoming a monster. Aged in traditional Slavonian oak casks for two years, and in bottle for a further three years before release. 

Aromas of dark fruit, dried leaves and hints of cedar follow through to a medium to full body, a solid core of fruit and chewy tannins and a flavourful finish. Warm and aromatic and already filling out nicely but with potential to age beautifully for the next 5-10 years. Top class.

2016 was a hit and miss year in Bordeaux, but Chateau Guillot Clauzet really hit the spot with careful management and selection to create this succulent and opulent Pomerol. Ripe and plummy, overlaid with smokey leather and forest-floor aromas, this elegant wine has matured beautifully. No need to wait - this is ready to enjoy now - but will continue to develop game and spice notes over the coming years with proper storage. Try alongside venison, pheasant, or strong cheeses. Delicious.

La Réserve d'Angludet is the second wine of the Château d'Angludet. It comes from the same 34 Ha of vines that counts Angludet's vineyard. A series of thorough tasting carried out by Ben Sichel determines the final distinction between the top wines. La Réserve d’Angludet offers the best quality for price in the entire Margaux appellation, offering dazzling aromatic expression and gentle extract, which is sustained yet delicate.

A still youthful bouquet that opens gradually to offer up a rich palate of wild fruit, violets, blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum. The beautifully well-bred palate, with smooth extract adding elegant plumpness to the moderate tannins and a hint of toastiness. Drunk in its youth, it will offer all the finesse and charm typical of this exceptional terroir. Drink 2020 - 2025

Sourced from one of the three first growths in Pauillac this is top notch Bordeaux - declassified to be offered at a more everyday price.

Beautifully coloured with deep purple tints, this wine offers all the richness and elegance typical of this prestigious appellation. Grown in the very best terroirs and vinified with the same meticulous care as the grands crus, it offers up a bouquet suggestive of pepper and liquorice along with fresh red fruit aromas. The silky, aromatic attack is followed by an elegantly structured mid-palate that goes hand in hand with moderate extract and notes of pure cassis. The distinguished finish is typical of this exceptional terroir.

Can be enjoyed while young (2-3 years after vintage) but has cellaring potential for quite a few years more.

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc, showing very ripe red fruit with some firm structure. Already drinking beautifully (and will for some time yet); and as ever a very superior Bordeaux Rouge - winner of a Gilbert & Gaillard gold medal 2018. We sold pallets and pallets of the 2015 vintage, but arguably the 2016 is even better: The cooler nights of 2016 brought a little more finesse to the reds - a trait that we much admire in Bordeaux. Drink now till 2023.

N.B. Label may diifer; non-import label shown.

An elegant, intense and fruit driven Rioja, form the esteemed Roda estate.

Sela is Tempranillo dominated and completed with a little Graciano and Garnacha. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels leading to an elegant, medium-bodied wine with fresh and flavourful red fruits, hints of sweet spice with polished, silky tannins. Everything is very well intergrated and the finish is satisfyingly persistent. 2015 is the current vintage, and drinking wonderfully right now. If you can wait, this stunning wine will develop beautifully in bottle for a further 10 years.
A wine that combines freshness and maturity it's versatile enough to match with roast beef, or spicy Indian dishes.

The legendary wine in large format!

The 2015 Barolo Riserva Cannubi is dense and expressive, with all of the richness of the year front and centre. Sweet red cherry, mint, pine, anise, dried flowers and spice all develop in this open-knit, supple Barolo. Time in the glass brings out the wine's textural depth and resonance. The Riserva emerges from the central part of the Rinaldi family's holdings in Cannubi Boschis. Drink now-2035

This sensational Cabernet Franc carries spice and lightness from the glass to the palate. Full of vivacity, with good structure and fine tannins. Not overly herbaceous or extracted, this exudes the fruit and earth of Franc with a delicate hand. Nec-Otium matures the wine in old wooden barrels and bottles it unfiltered.

The grapes come from an old vineyard in the village of Buttrio, measuring about one hectare. The vines are managed organically but not certified. The grapes are picked by hand and the average yield is 20 hl/ha. They are fully destemmed before maceration and fermention is with natural yeasts. Matured in large oak barrels with ageing for a total of twenty months. Bottled with no fining or filtration.

On the nose there is an abundance of citrus; lime, grapefruit, and in particular the orange zest that is such a regional feature of North Canterbury Rieslings. Aromas of apricot, ginger, and spice bring further complexity and breadth. The long hang-time and influence of botrytis has resulted in a wine that is rich and full bodied, with ripe phenolics that add structure and length. Weighty and mouth filling, yet balanced with refreshing acidity and a dry finish.

This really is the Holy Grail. The 'Meursault' wine at Bourgogne prices. We were honestly blown away by this and think you will be too.
Patrick Javillier makes Meursault, Volnay, and Puligny, owning land in each and on the peripheries between. The grapes for this cuvée are grown on the Volnay side of Meursault, and the vineyard quality shines through in the wine. Generous, sensuous, engaging. Rich with aromas of apricot yoghurt, lemon posset and green mango. Seamlessly bound together in subtle, nutty, toasty oak, and balanced by a bright bite of freshness on the finish. White Burgundy par-excellence.

From Bodegas Ontañón's new winery in the centre of Quel. Rigorous selection of only the best fruit from high altitude vineyards has produced one of the new Rioja classifications: a 'Vino de Pueblo', which can only be produced from family-owned vineyards within a named village. This highly anticipated release doesn't disappoint!

Pronounced aromas of ripe black fruit and blueberries, backed by spice, mocha, fig and balsamic notes. The palate is generous with complex bramble and plum fruit characters, well-integrated oak and bright acidity. Importantly, this is not 'all about the oak' as so many rioja's are - this shows real vereve and vigour.. Pair with steak or roast lamb.

More info; Predominantly Tempranillo sourced from low yielding vines which receive no artificial irrigation. Many are plots of old bush vines. After multiple different stages of selection - in the vineyard, at the winery, and a final selection of the berries after de-stemming -  the wine spends 18 months in new oak barrels (80% French and 20% American) with varying levels of toast. After a further 6 months in large (18,000L) French oak foudres, the wine is stored in the winery's calado (underground cellar) before release.

2020 vintage

Gérald Lafont and Baptiste Olivier are known throughout France as two of the Rhône Valley's top oenologists. Their consulting work for many of the best estates throughout the region and in Provence has given them access to a percentage of the grape yield from some of the highest acclaimed vineyards in the region. Their collective wine-making knowledge and experience, combined with their access to some of the top fruit in the region, allows them to consistently create some of the best value wines in the Rhône today.

A luscious blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah and 10% Cinsault. Made from vines up to 70 years of age, the deep roots mine the mineral depths of one of the world's most famous terroirs. Such deep, entrancing aromas emanate from the glass; a rich blend of red and dark berry fruit, mixed with notes of earth, garrigue herbs, and hints of spice. It is structured and full-bodied, yet soft and sensual. Wonderfully minerality runs throughout the wine, mingling with lush cassis and dark jammy fruits that caress the palate.

Elegant yet powerful, pale gold with lemon and nectarine fruit with slight salty hints and some notes spice and cedar. White peach and lemon dominate the palate with a touch of toasted brioche and salted popcorn. Crisp and elegant with a terrific finish.

The fruit comes mainly from the McIntyre Vineyard with a little from Robinson Vineyard.
Hand harvested with whole bunch pressing. 100% wild yeast barrel fermented in French oak of which 20% is new and then matured for 10 months on lees in the wood with 1 racking prior to bottling. Light fining and filtration.

The vineyards here are dry-farmed and hand-picked. They picked the fruit for the 2018 in two lots, 10 days apart. Two-thirds of the fruit that went into the 2018 Rays Road is from the early pick, described by winemaker Michael Brajkovich MW as ‘very distinctively limestone in character, with mineral, salty, flint characters that were certainly reminiscent of Chablis’, while the last third was much riper. Whole-bunch pressed, fermented with ambient yeast entirely in barrel, treated to 100% malolactic conversion and aged for 11 months in barrel.  Fresh and minerally and super-crisp but quite satisfying and not meagre at all. Super-clean. Just right for current drinking. If only all white burgundy offered this accessibility (I'm talking both price and taste). Really quite long. A neat, complete wine.

Deep ruby with a nose of restrained power. Blue and black fruits, with hints of violets, cedar tar and spices. The palate has enormous power and persistence, yet the first impression is of elegance and grace, before finishing with full and ripe tannins.

A classic Provencal rose, beautifully pale pink in colour with a delicate nose of wild strawberry, morello cherry and a definate hint of sea air. An abundance of fresh red fruit on the palate, with balanced acidity and a crisp finish. Our all-time bestseller.

A blend of two grapes native to Macedonia and rarely seen outside of the country. Complex and inviting aromas of bramble, damson plum, and wild cherry combine with subtle hints of vanilla and toasty, savoury notes. Beautifully textured with a mouth-filling palate of ripe fruits against a mineral backdrop leading to a long-lasting finish. A truly stunning wine at this price. Decanter's Platinum Award winner 2018.

The family now own 52 acres including a hectare of Valmur Grand Cru. This is from a single vineyard 1er Cru vineyard. White gold with green tints, the nose reveals mint and pineapple. The palate is powerful yet restrained with fine acidity and a creamy texture.

This is the very top cuvee from this illustrious estate founded in 1900. The Pinot Noir grapes come from a site with a south-western exposure and 15 years old vines giving the wine a medium weight and density. The aromas burst with wild herbs and berries mingling with complex fresh forest floor, so typical of the best expressions of Pinot Noir.

Lunchtime Barolo! Carema is one of Barolo's neighbours in Piedmonte, and offers a very similar wine at a more 'weekend' price than it's friend. Fermented in stainless steel vats, then transferred into large wooden casks for 12 months and for further 6 months in bottles before release. Released ready to drink. Will cellar for up to 5 years. 100% Nebbiolo.

Ruby of medium intensity with garnet red tints. Nuances of cinnamon and nutmeg as well as of red fruit preserved in alcohol. Smooth flavour, softly tannic, well balanced acidity due to its refining process in wooden casks. Leaves an intense aftertaste together with spicy nuances.

The best white Rioja is a match for great white Burgundy, and this proves the point. 100% Viura grapes and aged in large oak foudres. These french oaked barrells balance the bright, lively acidity with a gentle cloak of vanilla and toast. 

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

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.

Chablis, Chablis, Chablis... As familiar as the school run, and very often as mundane. But this delivers a memorable treat; sensuous, vivacious, and exactly what Chablis should be. No interference from oak, yet almost Burgundian in personality - a result of top class fruit and superlative winemaking.  A steely structure defines the palate with wonderful linear precision.

As satisfying as getting the last parking space. Enjoy.

    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.

An accomplished Chardonnay from northern Greece, that drinks more like Cru Burgundy! Perfumed aromas of melon, ripe pineapple and lemon combine with toasty butterscotch notes. Opulent and weighty, with a richly oaked texture, beautiful balance and spicy minerality on the finish. So, so good for the price - lovers of white Burgundy will be very happy here.

There's Greek wine and there's Greek wine... This is not the stuff of beachside Tavernas but comes from one of the most modern and accomplished winemakers in Greece. Whether you are a Viognier fan or not, this is a must-try; silken, rich and supple, beautifully fruited and just packed with complexity and finesse. A shop favourite.

Certified Sustainable, Practicing Biodynamic, Practicing Organic. Floral and citrusy with a little sultana and honey thing going on. A touch of plimsole rubber reminds you it can only be Riesling. A long, lingering finish with loads of creamy mouthfeel, backed up by acidity that zips through everything. Just the ticket! Drinks dry, though just nudging off-dry, which is perfectly judged against the racy acidity.

A composition of Terlano’s three most traditional white varieties, namely Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon. This cuvée - which was one of the wines produced when the winery was founded - is a complex and layered wine. Pinot Bianco, as the main variety, provides the freshness and a good acid structure. Chardonnay delivers a pleasing warmth and mellowness and Sauvignon adds the fine aromatic character.
Green apple and white peach combine with fine nuances of lemon balm and mint to create the typical aroma of the classic Terlano.
Strong peachiness on the palate too, lending the Terlano its lively yet rounded character. The multifaceted, well structured palate is an interplay of freshness and minerality and leads to a wonderfully persistent finish.

A classic dark & rich stout with malty, chocolate & caramel notes. Smooth & thick, bitter & sweet. This ale pairs beautifully with a cheese board or decadent chocolate desert.

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. 50 cl

Thomas Barton left his homeland of Ireland in 1722 and started a new life as a wine merchant in Bordeaux. His grandson inherited his passion for wine and acquired 50 hectares of vineyards in St Julien in 1826. This was the beginning of Leoville Barton, a prestigious wine estate. This second wine of Chateau Leoville Barton is made from younger vines making it more approachable than the Grand Vin. It has a complex aroma of balsamic, ink and pencil lead. It is a structured, balanced, generous wine with a spicy touch and delicious black fruits. It offers a powerful and dense sensation and a long finish.

Domaine Guy Amiot is run today by 4th and 5th generation owner Thierry and Fabrice along with Thierry’s daughter Heloise. The Domaine was founded in the 1920s by Arsene and Flavie Amiot who ran successful businesses in Paris which allowed them to acquire land and buildings in Chassagne Montrachet where their children were raised.

Pinot noir from Beaujolais, as quirky as the vigneron himself. Jean-Paul Brun is quite a legend in Beuajolais. He works organically and avoids sulphite use, creating Beaujolais Villages wines, a stunning Chardonnay (also available from us) and this, his Pinot noir. The additional warmth and granitic soils of the 'Terres Dorees' give this Pinot a vibrancy and character all of its own. Retaining the elegance of Burgundy, yet with a little more of a wild side. Enjoy it for it's youthfulness and energy.

The best organic Sangiovese grapes are harvested manually during the cool night time, carefully selected and transported to the winery in small baskets. The bunches are then gently destemmed and undergo a spontaneous fermentation in small open top fermenters. The grapes are left to macerate on the skins for 24 to 30 days, and then softly pressed with a small bladder press. The wine is then aged for 24 months on its fine lees in neutral tonneau and barriques and an additional 6 months in the bottle before it is released. We only add a minimum quantity of sulfites to our wine prior to bottling. We do not fine, clarify, or filter our wines at any time during production nor do we chemically adjust it. Tiny quantities of this stunning wine are produced, so grab it while you can!

Bruichladdich's flagship unpeated single malt release, made with 100% Scottish barley. It's also bottled at a hearty 50% ABV, which is a chunk higher than equivalent releases from almost any other distillery (usually 40-46%). This bottling strength is said to help bring the barley notes to the fore. Head Distiller Adam Hannett works with an ever-increasing range of casks aged alongside Lochindaal as well as changing profiles and varieties of carefully traced barley to put together a refreshing whisky with the signature fruity and floral Bruichladdich house style.

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!

Fine mineral aromas with stone fruit notes. On the palate there is a depth of flavour expected of a grand cru, supported by decent acidity and a mineral core. Very long finish. This is Chablis at its purest…sublime.

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!

rançois and Julien Pinon are renowned for producing exceptional wines in the Vouvray region. François, who previously worked as a child psychologist, assumed control of the vineyard from his father in 1987 and has since established a strong reputation for the estate. As a committed winemaker, his primary objective is to maintain the distinctive characteristics of both the appellation and the vintage in all of his wines. With Julien`s involvement, the family`s commitment to organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking has been further solidified. For this particular release, the wine was aged in previously used barrels for a duration of 4 months prior to bottling. It exhibits delightful hints of green apple, delicately enveloping a core of vibrant, lively acidity.
