Chant Des Sirenes 2025 Gris De Sauvignon Rose
Red berries, citrus and gentle spice form a bright, aromatic nose. The palate is crisp and intense, with clean minerality bringing definition to the fresh fruit and a lively, dry finish. Its combination of delicacy and energy works equally well as an aperitif or alongside shellfish, Mediterranean salads, baked fish, Thai curry or tagine.
Averaen 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
Dark cherry and strawberry meet earth, cracked pepper and a quiet thread of vanilla. Medium-bodied with fine tannins, the palate combines ripe fruit with fresh acidity and a gently plush texture. Tea, clove and anise add savoury complexity through the finish. Pair with duck, roast chicken, salmon or mushroom dishes.
d’Arenberg 2014 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon
A poised Cabernet Sauvignon with violet, cassis and dark plum carried by a subtle minty lift. The palate is sleek and concentrated, shaped by fine, chalky tannins rather than sheer weight. Notes of baked capsicum, tobacco and cedar add savoury depth through the finish, while the fruit remains clear and composed. Decant now or cellar for further dried-fruit and cedar complexity.
Mac Forbes 2023 Yarra Valley Pinot Noir
Red cherry and raspberry lead a vibrant, finely drawn profile, with a restrained note of spice and subtle oak in support. The palate is elegant and balanced, built on fine tannins rather than weight, and the finish lingers without excess. Polished but approachable, it suits salmon, duck, mushrooms or herb-roasted chicken.
Tait 2018 Ball Buster
A full-bodied Barossa blend driven by Shiraz, with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon adding roundness and structure. Dark berry fruit and savoury spice lead into a rich, juicy palate, while time in seasoned French and American oak brings gentle toast rather than overt sweetness. Balanced and persistent, it is built for generous food: grilled steak, braised beef or smoky sausages.
Decero 2017 Remolinos Vineyard Malbec
Violet, red cherry and raspberry aromas lead a silky, medium-bodied Malbec, with darker berry fruit and subtle spice adding depth.

Serve with grilled beef, lamb, empanadas or roasted mushrooms.

Generous in scale but balanced, finishing with freshness and precision.
Monchhof 2019 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett
Light-footed yet intensely expressive, with ripe citrus, yellow peach and orchard fruit carried by a fine mineral edge.

Serve lightly chilled with spicy dishes, roast pork or soft cheese.
Castell 2021 Silvaner Trocken
Ripe peach and lime lead the nose, lifted by a subtle note of peppermint.

Fresh without feeling sharp, it suits asparagus, freshwater fish or simply prepared vegetable dishes.
Fürstlich Castell 2021 Weissburgunder
Robert Weil 2018 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese
Intense ripe apricot, peach and mango set a generous tone, but the palate stays remarkably precise. Bright acidity cuts through the concentrated fruit, while lemon zest, mint and a salty mineral edge add definition. Lush yet poised, it finishes fresh, piquant and exceptionally long, with ample energy for further development.
Domaine de l’Enclos 2023 Chablis Premier Cru La Fourchaume
Ripe orchard fruit opens with an inviting sense of richness. Full and softly enveloping on the palate, it carries its fruit with measured weight while a clear mineral line keeps the profile composed. The texture is generous without becoming heavy, and the flavours linger through a persistent, harmonious finish. A poised match for scallops, lobster, roast poultry or creamy mushroom dishes.
Remoissenet Père & Fils 2018 Meursault Premier Cru Poruzots
Pear, orange oil and white flowers lead with a restrained note of clear honey. The palate is medium-full and layered, combining ripe orchard fruit with cool mineral detail and a subtle touch of oak. Fresh citrus keeps the structure poised, carrying the Chardonnay through a long, complex and quietly generous finish.
Croft 2011 Vintage Port
Blueberry, ripe dark berries and violet lead a deeply scented bouquet, with rock rose, blue slate and a touch of leather adding complexity.

Pair with Stilton or dark chocolate.
d’Arenberg The Nostalgia Rare Tawny NV
Walnut, toasted almond and mature rancio notes open into dried pear, apple and fig, with cinnamon, toffee and marmalade adding warmth. The palate is sweet, concentrated and velvety, balancing caramel richness with seasoned oak and a savoury nutty edge. Long and layered through the finish, it works beautifully with blue cheese or almond desserts.
Quinta do Noval 1963 Vintage Port
At full maturity, the colour has softened to translucent ruby-tawny. Sweet strawberry and orange aromas lead into an elegant, balanced palate, where warm spice, a dry core and fine remaining tannins keep the fruit poised. The finish is long and gently warming. Bottle variation is possible at this age, so stand upright and decant carefully before serving.
Taylor Fladgate 1966 Vintage Port
Violet and ripe fig lead an elegant, fresh bouquet, joined by tobacco, cedar, pear and dried apricot. The palate is remarkably balanced, placing concentrated fruit within a firm mineral and tannic frame. Lively acidity keeps the texture poised, and the flavours continue with clarity through a long finish. Decant carefully and serve with blue cheese or walnuts.
Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 1998
Brilliant gold in the glass, with rich apricot, baked apple and dried fruit joined by honeyed spice and a subtle botrytised complexity.

Long and poised on the finish, it is excellent with blue cheese, tarte tatin or fruit-based desserts.
Domaine Roger Champault 2021 Menetou-Salon Blanc
Bright, lifted aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest and white flowers meet a subtle herbal edge and wet-stone minerality. The palate is crisp and linear, driven by zesty citrus and green orchard fruit, with chalky texture and a saline snap. Clean, refreshing tension carries the finish. Ideal with oysters, goat cheese or simply as an aperitif.
Laurent Saillard 2018 Blank
Bright citrus and pale orchard fruit move across a fine, gossamer texture. The palate is light but not slight, bringing old-vine concentration to a clean, naturally expressive frame. Gentle savoury detail and restrained richness sit beneath the freshness, and the finish stays structured, elegant and quietly persistent rather than overtly fruity.
