Rathjen Sparkling Rosé NV 750 mL
Fine bubbles carry cranberry and raspberry across a fresh, lightly earthy palate. Pinot Noir gives the wine a clear red-fruit centre, while mineral and gentle yeasty notes add savoury depth. Traditional-method production brings a composed texture and a subtle brioche accent without dulling the fruit. The finish stays bright and finely textured, leaving red berries, citrus lift, cool minerals and a quiet bread-dough note.
Peyrabon 2019 Haut Medoc
Medium- to deep-garnet, with cassis, blackberry and blueberry framed by cinnamon, clove, pepper and a graphite-like mineral note. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, combining vibrant black fruit with measured tannins, bright acidity and a soft, polished texture. Savoury herbs and spice carry through the long, composed finish.
Sohler Philippe 2019 Sylvaner Zellberg
Floral notes of acacia lead, followed by bitter almond and a light saline edge. The palate has ample raciness and freshness, carrying its subtle savoury character with clarity and lift. A measured touch of bitterness shapes the finish and adds length. Serve with asparagus, river fish or lightly dressed vegetable dishes.
Sohler Philippe 2020 Riesling GC Heissen
Lemon and star anise lead this lively Riesling, with a clear mineral line adding shape and complexity. The palate feels bright and quietly playful rather than showy, finishing clean and precise. Its freshness makes it an easy table wine; serve with shellfish, roast chicken or lightly spiced vegetable dishes.
Chatelet 2018 Hautes Cotes De Nuits
A savoury red Burgundy with strawberry, red cherry, violet and a quiet thread of spice. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, with gentle tannins and refreshing acidity giving the fruit clarity and lift. It has the balance to drink well on its own, though roast poultry, mushroom dishes and simply prepared pork bring out its earthy, understated side.
Fatalone 2022 Gioia del Colle Primitivo Riserva DOC
Les Cortis 2020 Neumite
Floral and red-fruited, with bright cherry and a light Beaujolais-like lift. The palate is graceful and energetic, gaining depth from semi-carbonic fermentation and extended skin contact while remaining fresh rather than heavy. Gentle structure and added complexity balance the vivid fruit, leading to a poised, clean finish.
La Rivolta 2023 Falanghina del Sannio
Granny Smith apple, lemon and lime lead a crisp, dry profile, with a saline note adding savoury definition. Present acidity keeps the medium-bodied palate bright, while the texture remains delicate and entirely free of oak. Clean and refreshing through the finish, it pairs naturally with oysters, citrus-dressed seafood or simply prepared fish.
Franz Haas 2021 Pinot Grigio Alto Adige
Acacia, sage and meadow grass lead a floral, lightly herbal bouquet, followed by pear, yellow apple, almond and citrus. The palate is bright and medium-bodied, balancing ripe orchard fruit with fresh acidity and a clean, persistent finish. Serve with seafood, vegetable risotto, roast chicken or mild cheeses.
Celler 9+ 2017 Medol Organic Tarragona
Fresh and lightly earthy, with plum and wild raspberry at the centre of a vivid red-fruited profile. A gentle natural spritz brings lift to the palate, while the texture remains easy and unforced. The finish stays bright and gently savoury. Serve cool rather than warm; its character suits charcuterie, grilled vegetables, roast poultry or casual Mediterranean dishes.
Zanotto 2015 Latifondo
Bread crust, toasted nuts and warm spice open into lemon zest and crisp yellow fruit. The palate is lively and firmly dry, with brisk acidity giving the gently sparkling texture a clean, energetic line. Subtle earthy and savoury notes add depth without weight, while a persistent saline edge carries citrus and lees character through the focused finish.
Furlani Alpino Bianco Frizzante
Pamplemousse Jus 2023 Co-Ferment
Bright floral notes lead into crunchy raspberry, with a crisp, dry finish keeping the wine light on its feet. Equal parts Léon Millot and Gewürztraminer were spontaneously fermented on their skins, then aged in neutral barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The result is vivid, savoury and refreshing, best served lightly chilled alongside relaxed, flavourful food.
Pamplemousse Jus 2023 Léon Millot
Dark cherry and plum lead a juicy, generous nose, with woodsy spice adding depth. The palate is rich and round but still energetic, carrying ripe fruit with a lightly wild, savoury edge. A gentle sparkle keeps the texture lively, while the spicy dark-fruit character lingers through a vibrant finish.
Code Wines 2022 Estate Pinot Noir
Red cherry and red currant open into wet forest floor, potpourri and a touch of vanilla. The palate is delicate and crunchy, layering raspberry and pomegranate over a bright frame of acidity. Soft tannins keep the texture supple, while restrained French oak and lingering spice add depth through a poised, quietly savoury finish.
Meyer Family 2020 “B” Field Blend Pinot Noir
Toasty oak, cherry and forest floor lead a youthful, savoury nose. The palate is silky yet tightly structured, layering cherry and plum with earthy dried black fruit and a measured dusting of baking spice. Neutral French oak keeps the texture composed, while fresh acidity draws the flavours into a focused finish.
Mission Hill 2021 Reserve Merlot
Wild blackberry and dark cherry rise from a structured, full-bodied palate. Ripe dark fruit is framed by refined tannins, with French oak adding measured depth rather than overt sweetness. Rich yet composed through the middle, it closes on a persistent, polished finish. Decant briefly and serve with grilled steak, roast lamb, braised beef or firm aged cheese.
Marrow Arancio Vermouth
Lush and fruit-led, with skin-contact Pinot Gris bringing ripe orchard fruit, gentle grip and an amber-toned depth. Lavender and chamomile add soft floral lift, while rhubarb root, yarrow, sweet cicely, bitter orange and kola nut build a layered herbal bitterness beneath measured sweetness. The finish is textured, fragrant and complex. Serve chilled over ice with a lemon slice, or use it to give a Negroni or spritz a distinctly botanical edge.
Kir-Yianni Veroni Dry Vermouth
Fresh oregano, spearmint and chamomile lead a vivid herbal aroma, with lemon verbena and citrus adding lift. The palate is bright and balanced, combining brisk acidity with an extra-dry profile and a firm quinine bitterness. Rooty herbs and thyme give the middle savoury depth, while a subtle orange note softens the edges. The finish is long, fresh and elegantly bitter. Serve well chilled, over ice, or as the dry vermouth in a classic Martini.
Autour de l’Anne 2023 Les États d’Anne 750 mL
Fresh red fruit opens with an energetic, lightly smoky edge. The palate is bright and tingly, with semi-carbonic crunch giving the Cinsault and Grenache blend a lively, chillable texture. Fine spice adds definition without muting the fruit, while concrete fermentation keeps the profile clear and direct. It finishes crisp and savoury, leaving red berries, smoke, gentle spice and a refreshing snap.
