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.

Percheron is a French breed of workhorse, and this is our "workhorse" red. It is a real stalwart and hugely popular. Medium bodied, full of red fruit flavours and oh so clean on the palate. Tremendous value.

A great partner to rich and savoury red meat dishes such as salt-marsh lamb, or a gutsy bean casserole.

One of our bestsellers, this villages-quality Rhone wine seriously over-delivers. Supple and rounded, whilst packing a hit of white pepper and spice over generous dried strawberry and herbal notes. Delicately oaked, this is soft and velvety yet structured enough to hold up to robust southern-French cuisine, which it compliments wonderfully. .

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.

Elegant and refreshing cool-climate Pinot. Pale ruby red in colour with a lifted nose of raspberry,blackcurrant fruit and a gentle cranberry grip with gentle spice notes from barrel aging. The palate shows delicious ripe summer fruit character and is perfectly balanced by soft tannins and refreshing acidity. It has a long and elegant finish. 70% of the wine is aged for 6 months in French oak barrels, lending spice and cocoa notes.

The Casablanca Valley is influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its coastal breezes that moderate temperatures. The area ranges from soft rolling hills to higher hills toward the Coastal Mountain range in the east. The poor, sandy loam soils are alluvial in origin, relativelyshallow and very permeable, resulting in yields which are generally low in comparison with other Chilean valleys.

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. 

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.

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.

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. 2016 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.

 La Foule Pinot Noir comes from selected vineyards in the Languedoc region of southern France. It is a wonderful wine with lovely aromas of violet and red fruits and a velvety palate with a long and supple vanilla finish due to a proportion of the blend being matured with French oak.

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.

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.

Aromas of bramble fruit, vanilla, nutmeg and sweet spice. The palate is rich and complex with blueberry and blackberry fruit, ripe tannins and good length.

Food match: Great with lamb chops, dishes with chorizo, and hearty vegetable casseroles.

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!

Caiaffa works to the principle of synergistic agriculture. They believe that nature is man's greatest collaborator and that it is nature which maintains balance. Certified organic, they do not use insecticides or pesticides in order to encourage a balanced ecosystem and work at one with nature.

Amazingly fresh nose, with aromas that bring to mind a cosy pub in winter. Smooth and easy drinking and showing impressive length. A touch of ‘bittersweet’ on the palate with liquorice and smoky notes balancing a rustic bramble-fruit profile. Despite these 'weighty' descriptors, the wine retains a lightness of touch and works just as well at cellar temperature as it does fireside. Three months in oak gives a rounded palate and balance. Great to pair with smoked ham or bacon, game, hearty soups and stews.

Vibrant and fruit-forward, with juicy berry fruit character and concentration. Fresh and easy drinking with a smooth finish. Fantastic with pasta and pizza. Organic

A stunning blend of Castelão, Aragonez, and Touriga Nacional. Hand-crafted, traditionally made Portuguese blend, foot-trodden in granite lagars an bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Touriga Nacional and Aragonez provide beautifully ripe, dark berry fruit, but it's the indigenous Castelão that brings this wine to life. It's this lesser-known variety that adds intrigue, with redcurrant acidity, freshness, and bright cherry with a sour edge; perfectly balanced agianst a deep and brooding backdrop. There's a lovely leafy herbaceous note and rusticity to the tannic structure that balances the more modern fruit component. Overall, a just a really great wine to drink!

A refreshing and fragrant Cabernet with fresh and bright flavours of blackcurrant. Silky textured, lifted on the mid-palate and with a smooth ripe finish.

Perfect with roast lamb with rosemary and garlic. Finish with a mature cheese such as parmesan.

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.

Wow. We love this. If Pinot noir and Syrah had a love-child it would be this wine. Maybe with a little Cabernet Franc infulence on the side too. Crunchy red fruits, sweet earthy notes and a flash of black pepper and leafiness. The all-important acidity is retained here, with great density on the palate and a long, tasty finish. Pair with charcuterie and goats cheese. Heaven!

Established in 2009 by the Joubert family, their winemaking style is inspired by the Mediterranean climate. Their ethos is to create wines that reflect the unique terroir and elements of their remarkable location. In fact, Baleia is the only winery on the Lower Duiwenhoksrivier in Vermaaklikheid in the southern coastal area of the Cape. Baleia is Portuguese for whale and the striking labels are inspired by St. Sebastien Bay, the Whale Nursery of South Africa.

The true essence of Baleia is in the soil, consisting largely of pure, solid limestone with a very high mineral content. The climate, defined by their proximity to the sea, creates a particular mouthfeel to the wines with a chalky minerality and maritime salinity. This soil is also home to the very rare Canca fynbos, which is endemic to the South Coast and one of very few fynbos species to flourish in the alkaline environment of limestone outcrops.
Jancis Robinson in 2022 gave the Pinot Noir - 16.5 points.

This is Nero d'Avola like you've never had it before (unless you've had another of Gulfi's epic wines)!

Reminiscent of Amarone, or top-notch Bordeaux, Gulfi holds the crown for what is possible from this native Sicilian grape.

Baronj is a historic Pachino cru which covers 3 ha and is noted for the whiteness of its soils, due to the composition being rich in limestone. The 40 year-old Nero d'Avola vines grow there at an altitude of 50 metres.

This chalky terrain confers on the wine a subtle and mineral character which is essential to the core balance of this wine. Highlighted on the nose is the cleanness of its notes of ripe fruit - black cherries, damsons, prunes and mulberry - complimented with tobacco and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is overtly generous, with some irresistible, enveloping tannins, yet a mineral flare that refreshes and beckons you back...

Made from certified organic Carménère grapes and aged in French oak barrels, this red wine boasts delicious notes of herbs, spices, and red and black fruits. With refreshing acidity and velvety tannins.

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.

Grape Varieties Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah

A blend that changes slightly each year, the last few vintages of this wine have been on fire. Beautifully defined dark fruit (there always seems to be a generous lick of cassis in this wine, even when the Cabernet component is actually quite modest), just a frame of toasty oak (although that roasted Alentejo character amalgamates with that too), and just enough Alicante crunch to keep it all fresh and energetic.

Older vintages are still drinking well, and with the improvements in this great value wine, there's no reason more recent vintages won't last even longer.

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.

Fiasco Vino Toscano is an affectionate, amusing nod in the direction of those straw-covered flasks which became such popular table lamps! The wine is a blend of bought-in organic grapes: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Malvasia Nera & Colorino from Tuscany; Montepulciano from Le Marche and Frappato, Nerello Mascalese and Nero d’Avola from Sicily. Really gluggable and great value.

From a notably warm vintage, this wine is bold and textural, offering ripe cherry, plum and hints of strawberry, layered with a gentle creaminess on the palate. Beneath the richness lies a core of fresh acidity, fine tannins and subtle spicy mineral notes, bringing balance and a touch of savoury complexity to the sweet fruit. Produced at Finca Allende in Briones, where Miguel Ángel de Gregorio has carefully interpreted the unique terroir since the 1980s, the vineyards benefit from varied exposures and cooling Atlantic influences, shaping a wine that is both expressive and structured, now beginning to develop further depth while retaining elegance and poise.

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

Located just 1 km from the World famous Château Petrus vineyard. Blackberry, cherry, vanilla and earthy fruit aromas. Juicy fruit with good perfume, a lovely minerality and integrated oak. Delicious mature Pomerol.

Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat is a wonderfully full bodied red wine from the Priorat region of Catalunya, Spain. A pioneer wine-maker in this region and Decanter Wine Man of the Year 2015, Alvaro Palacios is capable of producing some of the finest wines in the entire country. This Camins del Priorat, a Garnacha and Carignan blend with a tiny amount of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, delivers a spectacular initial attack of berries and red fruits with a real pleasantly jammy feel and a tense but smooth finish.

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.

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 new-age Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon (blended with Malbec), expressing all the regional hallmarks. It is a bright, fruit-forward, earlier-drinking style with attractive savoury nuances from Vasse Felix’s quality-led, minimal intervention winemaking approach.

Featuring the Proprietor’s Grandfather, Sidney Neill, Wine Merchant, on the label, Picnic is the perennial favourite wine to enjoy everyday and a wonderful introduction to the pleasure of Central Otago Pinot Noir. This fruit was sourced from Two Paddock’s own vineyards in Alexandra and Gibbston and Bannockburn. Picnic Pinot Noir is made in a diminutive style aimed to reflect the characters that Central Otago Pinot does so very well – black and red cherry fruit, spice and a generosity that keeps you reaching for the next sip.

Tedeschi Lucchine Valpolicella DOC Classico is a rich and aromatic red wine that has a deep ruby red colour and a complex bouquet of red berries, cherries, and violets. Made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties such as Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, this wine has a bold and full-bodied taste that is enhanced by its 12 months of aging in oak barrels. Tedeschi Lucchine Valpolicella DOC Classico is best paired with meat dishes, aged cheeses, and hearty stews. This is a perfect wine for those who appreciate the rich flavours and aromas of traditional Italian red wines.

Sourced exclusively from the Te Mata Estate’s own vineyards, the Estate Vineyards wines represent the best qualities of their variety, vintage and Hawke’s Bay origin.

An intense bright-dark crimson, Estate Cabernet/Merlot shows immediate ripe raspberry, wild blackberry and black plum, all set against dark chocolate and velvety tannins. Sumptuous layers of flavour run from rich fruit to sandalwood, French Vanilla, and pipe tobacco. With power, presence and length, Estate Cabernet/Merlot delivers great pleasure right through its palate.

Ruby red in color with violet tints, on the nose it shows fresh red and black fruits, with hints of spices and nuts. On the palate it is delicate, with great acidity and firm tannins that give it nerve and structure. It shows its best facet accompanying beef roasts, stews, empandas and charcuterie.

This blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache highlights the characteristics of the appellation and the biodiversity of the terroir. Whilst respecting tradition, it is also in tune with the times. ‘La Petite Villa’ starts us off on the road to ‘Villa Mon Rêve’.

A dark cherry colour with garnet highlights, heralding a full-bodied, expressive wine. On the nose, a bouquet of black fruit and spices reveals notes of black cherry, blackberry and clove. This initial nose is supported by fresh aromas of peppermint and sweet cocoa bean notes. On the palate, a fine structure emerges with a supple, intense attack, offering a pleasant velvety texture and a spicy finish with young but promising tannins. Aromas of black fruit, garrigue, cocoa, pink pepper and fresh tobacco unfold fully, offering a rich, complex taste experience.

We called it ‘Figure Libre’ because we have chosen the freedom of creation and expression, combining the subtleness of the Loire with the bold character of the Languedoc. Away from the rigours of the appellation, in 2004 we planted the grape varieties which we felt would be best suited, those most able to reveal the expression and the qualities of our Brugairolles sandstone terroir. Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc, rarely grown in the region, originate from the Loire Valley, home of Winemaker Vincent Chansault.

Pretty raspberry colour, brightened by blackcurrant highlights that immediately evoke an intense sensory experience. On the nose, the wine offers a crisp, fruity experience, reminiscent of a basket of sun-drenched wild berries. Notes of redcurrant and blackberry dominate, creating a bewitching atmosphere. On the palate, the first impression is of the vegetal characteristic of the Cabernet Franc grape yet the fruit still comes through strongly. The attack evokes a harmonious balance between freshness and liveliness. The taut mid-palate brings out notes of redcurrant and cherry, offering an elegant range of fruity flavours. The finish, marked by firm tannins, is offset by the lovely vegetal character. The recognisable notes of green pepper mingle with delicate spices, notably coriander, to create its distinctive signature and add a layer of complexity to the whole.

 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.

Grape Varieties: Castelão

The Serra Mãe is made from 100% Castelão, grown on the free-draining, sandy soils East of Palmela. It was naturally fermented (no added yeast), and then subsequently aged, in concrete vats.

We had the opportunity to bottle our own interpretation of this grape, and we selected this wine because we think it displays a pure sense of variety and place. 

The wine shows cherry and bramble fruits, some green herbs, and a fresh and juicy texture. Its fresh acidity is a perfect match for slow-roast lamb or toad in the hole.

The cellar dog selection are beautifully fruit-driven, unpretentious red and white wines that accompany your daily meals, aperitifs and party events. These wines are made without oak contact, thus emphasizing their pure fruit character. Both are named after the winery’s pets, Lili the cellar dog, and Cookie the cellar rabbit, who are extended members of the team.

Lili Cellar Dog Selection is a blend of Alicante Bouschet and Touriga Nacional fermented and aged in stainless steel containers.

“Deep crimson. Rich, chewy and deliciously firm and dry, the texture giving it a mineral savour. Pure, dry, long.”

 Darker expression of Pinot Noir with blackberries, liquorice (bordering on ammonium at first, which blows off after a proper decant), cherry liquor and even some espresso beans. Underneath there is beautiful structure and freshness; it's superbly zingy, tangy and full of pinosity. The finish is long and beautiful.

Lovely now and should be just as fine over the next ten years. Benefited a lot from some air. I think this would pair with a lot of different food, no need to veer on the side of caution here.

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.

Mainly Malbec but blended with a little Cabernet and even less Petit Verdot. Dark purple, with rich berry fruits with nuances of mocha and chocolate. Great with roast beef, or bbq ribs.

 Vibrant aromas of blueberries and black plums with a hint of toasty oak. The generous palate is packed full of juicy forest fruits and underpinned by a fine tannin profile. A balanced wine with a persistent fruit finish.

sorting of the grapes with destalking (no crushing). Alcoholic fermentation in open vats (soft maceration for 3-4 weeks). 7 to 10 months in oak vat.
Style
A typical St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. A fruity and lively style, slightly spiced with floral notes. Enjoy up to 3-4 years after vintage.

Organic 100% Cab Franc

Vineyard :Granitic and alluvium soil. Natural cover cropping to avoid erosion. Treatments are limited as much as possible depending on the weather, no pesticides to preserve biodiversity, only organic fertilisers. Control
of vigour and yield by leaf stripping, debudding in spring and green harvesting for better ripening of the grapes.

Grown according to sustainable viticulture with Guyot pruning. The bunches are harvested by hand
and then transported to the winery where they are sorted, with some de-stemming (maximum 25%),
then fermented using native yeasts in open wooden vats along with the whole bunches. The grapes are
crushed and pumped over daily. Traditionally long, the fermentation takes around twenty days after
which the wine is transferred to oak barrels and aged for 16 to 20 months on fine lees.
TASTING NOTE
Morello cherry, raspberry and a touch of blackcurrant and liquorice on the nose. The palate is firm and
fresh in youth and will continue to evolve beautifully.
FOOD MATCH
Vegetable gratin or pork loin. Also lovely with mild fresh cheeses such as Savarin or Epoisses.

Beautifully vivacious and fruity on the nose. Mulberries, soft red fruits on the palate, with soft tannins
to give some pleasing structure to this very moreish light red wine. Organic.

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!
