Benanti 2023 Etna Bianco
Pale and bright, with green-apple freshness, lemon oil and a light chamomile note. The palate is dry and finely cut, bringing white cherry and a touch of honey into vivid mineral acidity. A saline, gently smoky line carries the persistent finish. Poised rather than showy, it suits raw shellfish, grilled fish or simply chilled as an aperitif.
Clos de la Roilette 2023 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive
Dark cherry and black berry fruit are joined by fresh thyme, woodsmoke, dark earth and a floral note. The palate is full-bodied and focused, with concentrated fruit held by ripe tannins and a clear savoury line. Long and composed through the finish, it has the depth for roast duck, pork or mushroom dishes while retaining the freshness to drink on its own.
Lock & Worth 2023 Naramata Merlot
Bright ruby and lightly framed, with juicy plum, morello cherry and wild blackberry lifted by a subtle herbal edge. The palate is fresh and youthful, favouring vibrant fruit over weight or oak. Racy acidity and soft, lightly textured tannins keep the wine nimble and versatile, with a slight chill bringing extra clarity. Pair with roast chicken, mushrooms or grilled sausages.
Masseria Li Veli 2023 Passamante Salice Salentino
Ripe plum, blackberry and blackcurrant lead, joined by leather and sweet violet.

Serve with braised beef, roast lamb, eggplant parmigiana or tomato-based pasta.
Domaine Claude Lafond 2023 Nathalie Sauvignon Blanc
Fresh elderflower, gooseberry and lemon give the nose a bright, green-edged lift.

The finish is brisk and refreshing rather than showy, making this a natural aperitif and an easy match for chèvre or shellfish.
Jean Foillard 2023 Morgon Côte du Py
Dried cherry and prune lead a soft, unctuous palate, with concentrated fruit carried by a supple texture. There is seriousness beneath the generosity, but the wine remains composed and flowing rather than dense. Its pure, generous shape makes it a natural partner for charcuterie, roast chicken or goat cheese, while the fruit remains clear enough to enjoy on its own.
Can Leandro 2023 La Vella
Ripe peach fruit and immediate freshness lead the way, with a gently wild edge that gives the wine personality without heaviness. The palate is light on its feet, softly textured and easy to follow, finishing clean rather than sweet. A lively, food-friendly white for vegetable dishes, simple seafood, rice dishes or relaxed aperitif service.
Kettle Valley 2023 Pinot Gris 375Ml
Springfield 2023 Thunderchild
Blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry lead, with black plum and a savoury note of smoked meat adding depth.

Serve with roast beef, lamb or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Collemattoni 2023 Rosso di Montalcino
Red fruit opens with violet and almond, leading into a firmly structured palate. The tannins are still youthful, but concentrated cherry carries through the finish and gives the wine a clear sense of promise. Savoury and composed, it has enough depth for roast pork, grilled mushrooms or tomato-rich pasta, and will reward a little air before serving.
Meyer Family Vineyards 2023 Okanagan Valley Pinot Noir
Earthy and juicy, with cherry and raspberry at the centre and a gentle touch of spice around the edges.

Four Okanagan sites contribute nuance and balance, giving the wine a composed regional character and a clean, savoury finish.
Domaine Claude Lafond 2023 La Raie Reuilly Blanc
Ripe gooseberry, lime and lemon zest lead the nose, with pear, fresh herbs and a classic flinty note underneath. The palate is crisp, dry and elegant, carrying vibrant citrus over a finely textured mineral core. Bright acidity keeps the shape precise, while a cool, refreshing finish makes it especially good with oysters, goat cheese or simply as an aperitif.
La Fea 2023 Viura Chardonnay
An easygoing Spanish blend of Viura and Chardonnay, with sweet apple, pineapple and light floral notes. The palate brings citrus and tropical fruit together in a juicy, smooth texture, with enough freshness to keep the richer finish lively. Straightforward and generous, it suits grilled fish, crisp salads, fresh cheeses or a relaxed glass on the patio.
Domaine Etienne Sauzet 2023 Puligny-Montrachet
Pale lemon-lime in the glass, with a restrained citrus nose that opens gradually. The palate is precise and refined, combining Granny Smith apple, wet-stone minerality and a fine line of acidity. Middleweight and persistent, it carries measured richness without losing its clean, animated shape. Give it a little air, then serve with scallops, roast poultry or creamy cheeses.

Andeluna 1300 2023 Malbec Uco Valley
Violet leads into red plum, strawberry and blackberry, with a subtle mineral note beneath the fruit.

Serve with grilled beef, empanadas or smoky vegetables.
Marisco 2023 The Ned Sauvignon Blanc
Gooseberry, citrus peel and white tropical fruit open with a lively herbal lift. The palate is juicy and expressive, combining mango and passion fruit with a clear mineral line and bright acidity.

Pamplemousse Jus 2023 Pinot Pinot Traditional Method
Bright and expressive, with Granny Smith apple, fresh pineapple and key lime joined by raspberry, peach and clover. Fine bubbles bring lift, while savoury brioche adds depth to the crisp fruit.
