Black cherry red with intense blackcurrant and typical green capsicum notes, that give way to hints of black pepper, tobacco leaf and chocolate. The palate presents medium body and very smooth, lush tannins. This wine is very easy to drink and stands out for its great balance and fresh finish.The wine was aged for 12 months, 40% in French oak barrels, 30% in American, and 30% in stainless steel tanks.

The Colchagua Valley stands in Chilé out for its Mediterranean climate with four well-defined seasons. The summers are hot and dry, which encourages proper ripening without interruptions. The valley ends at the Pacific Ocean, which has a positive effect on the vineyards because it cools the valley during the hot season.

Ideal with grilled or roasted meats, such as roast pork with wine and spice reduction, and pepper-crusted steak. Best served at 16º–17ºC in a Bordeaux-style glass.

Cult wine! Comprised of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Cinsault and even a little Viognier, the fruit is sourced from all over the Cape area with each vineyard selected for the best quality fruit. You are enticed into the glass with a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, raspberries and mocha… On the palate, the wine explodes with black fruits, exotic spices, violets and vanilla. Full bodied most certainly! But the weight and supple tannins are well integrated, making this a very drinkable, extremely crowd-pleasing wine. 

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.

Forget all the bad rep Soave has from those over-cropped wines of the 1980's - this is PROPER Soave. The perfect aperitif - vibrant, fresh and elegant, with notes of citrus, white flowers and blanched almonds. It's appeal lies in it's subtlety, rather than it's power. Think ballet dancer rather than rugby player! Utterly exquisite. Prepare to rediscover this northern Italian gem. 

Xinisteri is a white grape native to Cyrus that has only recently come to find international acclaim. From Europe’s highest vineyards, this delicious example delivers juicy white peach and pineapple, balanced by racy acidity and herbal notes. Unoaked, mineral and fresh, the beautifully balanced palate leads to a mouth-watering finish. A unique and intriguing wine. Fabulous!

At an altitude of 365 metres, Monthelie overlooks the Auxey-Duresses and Meursault valleys. The Changarnier family has lived in this village for several centuries, founding the domaine in 1720. Now, Claude and Antoine Changarnier continue this wine-growing tradition. Their professional careers carried them far from the wine world, but their Burgundy roots remain anchored in this terroir.

A cracking sparkler made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. And a great alternative to an aperitif Champagne!

This sparkling wine has an expressive and very well-developed body with considerable finesse. Its fine fruit and its tangy acidity contribute to an elegant and very harmonious wine. A sparkling wine for every occasion.

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.

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.

The vineyards of L'Enfant are owned and controlled by one family, and are located in the La Seca region of Rueda. Head-trained bush vines range in age from 35 to 55 years and are hand harvested.A dry, tasty and perfectly balanced wine. Bright and mouthwatering, typical of the Verdejo grape, but it is also rounded with plush volume. Falling somewhere between a Sancerre and a Chablis stylistically, but with more (very appealing) leesy character that brings a savoury, lactic weight. Superb concentration whislt retaining a lightness of foot. Moreish!Pairs well with rice dishes, white meat and fish.

Our house favourite for a traditional, great value gin. The new incarnation of Hawthorn's London Dry Gin still pays homage to the creator's seafaring grandfather, a commander in the British Navy during the war, and also still features botanicals sourced from all over the world, including juniper from Macedonia, nutmeg from Sri Lanka and cassia bark from Indonesia.

The brand revamped its core expression to increase the strength. Previously bottled at 37.5% ABV, now at 41% ABV which, in our opinion, makes that zestiness shine.

Not just another pretty pink rosé, this is Pinot Noir rosé with substance; delicate and dry but with enough substance to keep coming back, glass after glass. Sit back, dig your toes into the sand and forget about life for a while... Pair with fresh seafood and light salads, preferably enjoyed sitting under an umbrella in the sun, overlooking the Mediterranean. But a sunny terrace will do the trick too...

Bright peach, pear and lemon flavours are supported by an elegant flinty backbone and just a touch of spice in this pure and charming Austrian white, made with minimal intervention and employing biodynamic methods at a small family winery. So clean, precise and rivetting. A new favourite.

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.

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.

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. 

An easy blend of Gargenaga and Chardonnay from the shores of lake Garda. Easy drinking and perfect for parties.

Gold medal winning Malbec from the fantastic Los Haroldos winery in Mendoza, Argentina. Deep, rich and unctuous. Layers of Chocolate, mocha, and dark berry fruit, with a touch of tobacco and sweet spice. Something a little bit special here - not your supermarket Malbec. Barrel aged for 11 months and super satisfying.

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.

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.

This exceptional Pinot Nero is produced in tiny quantities from Cavit's very best vineyards. A very fine example of the grape by any standards. Grown on the south-west and south-east facing slopes around Povo; a mixture of glacial limestone and volcanic soils. Hand-harvested in mid-September. The must is fermented in contact with the skins for 10 days, and matured for 20 months in 225 litre French oak barriques. The wine spends around 10 months in bottle before release.

Attractive, juicy, bramble fruit and floral aromas, the palate is up-front and fresh with warm spice and real depth.

Lovely with BBQs; grilled meats, halloumi and vegetables. Herby sausages, pasta with Mediterranean vegetables.

Taste a piece of history! Revived by the great-great-grandson of the original James eadie, this blend brings together the single malts of the range into a wonderfully full and expressive whisky that surpasses the sum of its parts. Regular award winner.

Nose: Raisins drizzled with spiced rum and Sherry, a hint of grassy peat, oily walnut.

Palate: Mexican chocolate, ripe red berries, brown sugar, another waft of soft peat smoke.

Finish: Juicy apricot and pear notes last on the finish.

‘La Minuette’ blended rosé comes from La Livinière limestone terroir. Its pale colour and floral bouquet represent the ‘Minuette’ variety of rose planted in Kenya by Tim Ford in 1982, during his 25 years of rose production in Africa. A nod to both the past and the future, La Minuette exemplifies estate values of tradition and modernity.

The 2025 vintage continues in the same elegant Provençal style as previous years, with a delicate, luminous pale pink colour. The nose is fresh and airy, revealing attractive aromas of red berries and vine peach, delivering an immediate sense of finesse. The balance is remarkable: raspberry and redcurrant express themselves with precision in an elegant, refreshing texture. The finish, subtly lifted by mouth-watering acidity, extends the tasting experience with lightness and delicacy.

 Grapes are sourced from the Lugana and Peschiera del Garda areas (north-west of Verona). The grapes
are softly pressed with a short maceration on the skins and fermented at a low temperature in stainless
steel tanks. The wine rest for a few months in stainless steel before being bottled. A subtle and restrained white with delicate stone fruit and lightly nutty aromas. The palate is textural
with more nutty characters and good concentration, all beautifully balanced by peachy fruit, a dash of
lime, and taut acidity on the finish.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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?

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.

BOTANICALS

''We work with nine carefully chosen ingredients, each lending their own individual characteristics, and all sourced with our usual attention to detail.

Sugar Kelp plays the starring role, bringing a complex, maritime edge to proceedings and we work with local diver and seaweed expert Lewis Mackenzie to gather this magical seaweed from our local sea-lochs in a sustainable harvest.

Lewis picks the gold-green fronds from hidden underwater forests by hand in the springtime before taking them to be dried locally.

When there is no 'r' in the month, the kelp is left to recover and grow, ensuring this vital local habitat for sealife is not harmed.''

HOW ITS MADE

''We make every drop of our award-winning Isle of Harris Gin here in the small village of Tarbert.

Our local distillers create this first offering from our island distillery in a small copper gin still which sits alongside her larger whisky-making sisters in the distillery's bright Spirit Hall.

We've nicknamed our gin still 'The Dotach' in honour of a similarly small and feisty local woman who is fondly remembered here in Harris from days gone by.

We use Sugar Kelp seaweed, gathered sustainably by hand from local sea-lochs, as our key botanical to express our island's unique maritime nature.

The spirit is softened by the fresh, low-mineral rainwaters which flow from the nearby source stream of Abhainn Cnoc a ’Charrain.

We bottle Isle of Harris Gin by hand here at the distillery too, before applying the labels and closing each one with a natural cork and wood stopper.

Finally, we apply a paper seal bearing our distillery's geographical coordinates to every single bottle by hand, your guarantee of a truly Outer Hebridean gin, made in the Isle of Harris and nowhere else.''

Russolo Doi Raps is a white wine of rare elegance and freshness, a blend of Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc from the high quality region of Fruili-Venezia-Giulia. The nose reveals warm and intense aromas that immediately bring to mind ripe fruits and roses, remeniscent of Gewurztraminer. In the mouth it is pleasantly soft, round, well supported by an excellent acidic shoulder and overall elegance. Closes with a nice return on the fruit before a final clean and excellent persistence. Soft and enveloping, it is a wine to pair with first courses based on shellfish, such as linguine with lobster. Also excellent as an aperitif or with Asian cuisine.

Intense ruby colour, violet notes. Lightly tannic, full and persistent aroma. Well balanced and easily drinkable.

Sambuca di Sicilia is an area which has produced fabulous grapes for centuries and Cantine Cellaro's wines are an incomparable expression for this historical area of vines.

Great with red meat, barbecued and grilled meat, excellent with first courses, game birds and seasoned cheese. Try it with eggplant Caponata or braised cauliflower 'Vrocculi Affucati'.

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.

Made from 100% Grand Cru & Premier Cru, Ayala Blanc de Blancs fully expresses the superb calibre of great Chardonnay from the best crus of the Côte des Blancs. It  is produced in small quantities, and only in exceptional years and benefits from 5 years ageing in the cellars which helps intergrate the remarkable minerality and complex flavours. Produced from the Grand Crus; Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, and also Premier Crus; Cuis and Vertus.

Tasting Note: Bright, pale yellow with white gold glints A delicate but expressive nose, showing wonderful aromatic freshness with notes of white fruits and lime. A striking voluptuous and vibrant silky texture on the palate. Passion fruits, citrus fruit, peaches and subtle notes of acacia honey. Voluminous, toasty, and extremely refined. 

A much overlooked category, Manzanilla sherry has so much to offer and is the perfect aperitif. Totally bone dry, with its distinctive savoury character of green olive, salted almonds, seaside freshness and tang; in fact, the perfect partner to all those things, whether or not you have a beachside seat.

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.

Voted Best Amarone Classico at the Decanter World Wine Awards.

“Generous and magnificent. A truly excellent Amarone from a top producer.”

 Guerrieri Rizzardi is an historic Italian estate, established in 1914 but with vineyard holdings dating back to the 15th & 17th centuries, inherited from the Counts Guerrieri and Rizzardi respectively. To this day the estates are family-owned and run, currently by the brothers Giuseppe and Agostino Rizzardi, who have been operatively running the company since the late 1990s.

They have presided over a quality-based evolution from an already strong base and this focus has been rewarded by multiple awards every year since 2001, culminating in the acclaimed prize in 2015 of Gambero Rosso “Red Wine of The Year” for their flagship Amarone Calcarole. Innovations continue and the focus on the unique terroir of the single vineyard Crus has certainly paid dividends. This ‘3 Cru’ blend shows this work to perfection.

“Decadently rich and opulent, this is stunning Amarone with incredible weight and presence. Deeply aromatic, with ripe, dark berried fruit alongside sweet spice. The palate is rich and velvety, plump with an abundance of plum and raisin and sweet cherry compote, all supported by finely integrated oak. Sublimely structured yet maintaining freshness leading to a spectacularly long finish. Simply outstanding!”

We recommend you decant one hour before serving.

Ayala's zero-dosage Champagne. A lean, fresh, taut-yet-supple Champagne, given texture and body from extended lees ageing. Apple fresh, with pleasing preserved lemon and brioche notes. Delicious and ultimately refreshing. Perfect with oysters and sushi. Or fish and chips!

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.

 Introducing the newest addition to their bottle range: Ramsbury Low Alcohol – 100% taste with only 0.8% ABV.

It took them some time to perfect our low-alcohol ale because they wanted to get it just right.  A great-tasting and flavorful low-ABV option.

0.8 is a light and refreshing pale ale, bursting with flavor. It boasts a citrus profile and aroma, delicately balanced with Azacca hops, giving it a fruity finish with hints of juicy mango.

One of the UK's only single estate English vodkas, Ramsbury Vodka is distilled, blended and bottled in a historic Wiltshire countryside belonging to the renowned Ramsbury Estate. An ancient aquifer influences the locally sourced wheat and water to create an enigmatic and refined edition.

Each bottle possesses a distinguished aesthetic and takes effort to note the provenance and variety of the wheat used. A very dignified affair.

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.

Bright ruby red, with upfront aromas of freshly-picked raspberries and an underlying savoury leesiness. Fleshy red fruits continue to the palate and are joined by fine tannins and juicy acidity; the foundations of a serious Pinot Noir.

Delicious both with and without food; try with a herby sausage casserole, grilled lamb or pea and ham soup. Don't serve too warm!

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.

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!

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!

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.
