Wine
Scali 2016 Pinotage Voor-Paardeberg WO
Seductive ripe red berries lead, layered with warm spice and a stony mineral note. The palate is balanced and succulent, with concentrated fruit carried by a velvety tannin structure rather than overt weight. Gentle savoury oak and fresh acidity bring definition before a smooth, lingering and quietly spicy finish.
Stella 2024 Chianti Colli Senesi
Red cherry, strawberry and plum lead a fresh, savoury profile with light floral and dried-herb notes. The palate is medium-bodied and food-friendly, balancing lively acidity with moderate tannins and a gentle earthy finish. Give it a short breath before serving with tomato-based pasta, grilled sausages, pizza or roast vegetables.
Reverdito 2016 Barolo 1.5L (Magnum)
Red berries, cherry liqueur and plum meet rose, violet and warm spice in an intense, layered aroma. The palate is bold and dry, with firm tannin framing cocoa, tobacco, leather and a touch of liquorice. Its richness resolves into a long, savoury finish. Serve with braised beef, lamb or truffle pasta.
Carlo Revello & Figli 2022 Dolcetto d’Alba
Red cherry and plum lead this fresh, lively red, with a floral lift adding detail to the nose. The palate is generous without feeling heavy, bringing ripe red plum and black cherry into a clean, refreshing finish. Its easy energy makes it a natural partner for antipasti, tomato-based pasta, roast poultry or a simple plate of cured meats and cheese.
Le Cecche 2021 Langhe Bianco DOC
Flowers and white fruit lead an aromatic nose, with a clear mineral note adding freshness. The palate is full and characterful, balancing ripe fruit with bright acidity and a clean, lightly textured feel. A poised, dry finish keeps the wine lively, while the two-grape blend lends quiet depth without excess weight.
Le Cecche 2018 Barolo Borzone DOCG
Bright garnet in the glass, with balsamic aromas of eucalyptus, mountain pine and resin. Black pepper, nutmeg and liquorice follow, joined by tobacco and a light leather note. The palate is notably fresh and savoury, carrying dark fruit and spice through a firm, composed finish with classic restraint.
Le Cecche 2019 Nebbiolo d’Alba
Blueberry leads a firm, classically styled profile, with a refined edge emerging once the wine has had time to breathe. The palate is dry and distinctly tannic, showing more restraint than richness. Decant briefly to let the structure settle, then serve with braised beef, lamb, mushroom ragu or aged hard cheese, where its grip will feel most at home.
Hospitien 2011 Riesling Brut Klassiche
Vaudon Pineau des Charentes Blanc
Golden amber in the glass, with a rich, rounded bouquet of dried fig, vine blossom and vanilla. Floral notes, honeyed sweetness and almond shape the smooth palate, while a gentle freshness keeps the finish balanced and composed. Serve well chilled as an aperitif, with fruit-based desserts or alongside blue cheese.
Coquard 2020 Saint-Veran
Fragrant orchard blossom and juicy white peach lead, followed by fresh citrus and a rounded mineral note. The palate is elegant and bright, with enough softness to feel generous and a subtle almond nuance on the finish. Serve lightly chilled with fresh seafood, roast chicken, creamy risotto, soft cheeses or simply prepared vegetables; the balance is polished and quietly expressive.
Joie 2025 Rose Okanagan Valley
Wild raspberry and cherry blossom open with a bright citrus lift. Pink grapefruit and watermelon bring freshness to the crisp, layered palate, while lemon balm and a subtle savoury note add definition. Clean and refreshing through the finish, it is well suited to grilled prawns, salmon, summer salads or light picnic fare.
Clos Fornelli 2021 Sciaccarellu Rosé
Wild strawberry, red cherry and blood orange rise from the glass with lavender, botanical herbs and a peppery mineral note. The palate is dry and silky, with bright acidity giving definition to the ripe fruit and gentle spice. A subtle saline edge keeps the finish fresh, savoury and quietly persistent.
Mirabeau NV Prêt-à-Porter Rosé Single Can
Clos Cibonne 2020 Cuvée Tradition Tibouren Rosé Magnum
Blood orange, tangerine and clementine lead an expressive nose, joined by rose petals, sweet spice and white pepper. The palate is round and layered yet remains vibrant, with ripe citrus, gentle herbal notes and a subtle coastal salinity. A supple, savoury finish gives this structured rosé unusual breadth and composure.
Birch Block 2022 Rosé
Dry and energetic, with wild strawberry, crunchy cherry and ruby-red grapefruit leading the way. Crisp acidity keeps the palate light and refreshing, while a subtle mineral edge gives the fruit clean definition. The finish is bright, tart and quietly savoury rather than sweet. A versatile rosé for charcuterie, grilled salmon, picnic fare or simple summer vegetables.
Claude Lafond 2023 Gris Rose La Grande Piece
Pale and delicately salmon-hued, with fresh red berries, citrus and a subtle mineral lift. The palate is fine-boned and refreshing, balancing gentle roundness with lively acidity and a clean, persistent finish. Made entirely from Pinot Gris in Reuilly, it is a polished, understated rose rather than an overtly fruity one. Serve well chilled with grilled fish, charcuterie, summer salads or fresh goat cheese.
Viavino NV Rosato 500 mL Box
Pale pink, light-bodied and quietly refreshing, with vivid summer berry aromas and a soft, rounded palate. Fresh strawberry notes carry through the finish, where a gentle creamy impression gives the wine a little extra breadth without sacrificing its easygoing character. The compact carton is well suited to picnics, casual lunches or a simple plate of antipasti.
Raimund Prum 2022 Mosel Pinot Noir Rose
A pale salmon rosé with strawberry, wild raspberry and a light mineral note. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, balancing juicy red fruit with crisp acidity and a smooth, measured texture. Fresh but not slight on the finish, it works well with grilled salmon, summer vegetables, charcuterie or a simple plate of tomatoes and soft cheese.
