Wine
Springfield 2023 Thunderchild
Blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry lead, with black plum and a savoury note of smoked meat adding depth. The palate is broad and mouth-filling but remains balanced, shaped by soft tannins and a generous sweep of ripe fruit. A long, gently fruity finish keeps the style approachable. Serve with roast beef, lamb or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Collemattoni 2018/20 Brunello Di Montalc
100% Sangiovese
92 Points Vinous: “Bright, deep red. Red cherry, sweet spices and smoky oak on the enticing nose. Strong soil tones complement musky spice, sweet pipe tobacco, and red fruit flavors. Finishes creamy, tactile and long, with polished tannins. Made from Sangiovese grown in vineyards located in all four of the major quadrants of the Montalcino production zone, which allowed owner Adon Bucci to make a highly balanced wine”.

Springfield Estate 2022 Albariño
Ripe apricot and nectarine open with a light floral lift and a distinctly saline edge. Generous in flavour yet dry and precise, the palate balances its rounded fruit with bright, mouthwatering acidity and fine mineral tension. The finish is clean, persistent and quietly coastal, making this especially compelling alongside oysters, shellfish or simply prepared white fish.
Domaine Sainte-Anne 2024 Cotes du Rhone Blanc
Honeysuckle and stone fruit lead a clean, elegant nose, with white peach and a cool menthol note adding lift. The palate balances rounded fruit with aniseed freshness and a fine, mouthwatering bitterness, staying energetic through the finish. Serve with grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy vegetable dishes or mild cheeses; the harmonious white Rhone blend is generous without feeling heavy.
Michele Reverdito 2016 Barolo Castagni
A youthful Barolo with dark Morello cherry, forest fruit, sweet spice and leather. The palate is savoury and smoky, with firm but rounded tannins framing the fruit and carrying it into a harmonious finish. Give it generous air, then serve with braised beef, roast lamb, truffle dishes or aged hard cheese; further cellaring should bring added softness.
Don Quintín Ortega 2022 Rioja Blanco
Clos de la Roilette 2022 Griffe du Marquis
High-toned perfume opens, with older-barrel élevage adding a restrained savoury frame. Large-scaled and complex, the palate is tightly composed around a fine, impressive structure rather than easy fruit. The finish is persistent and clearly built for patience, with definition that should unfold further in bottle. Give it air, or serve with roast duck, mushroom dishes or charcuterie.
Le Cecche 2017 Fiammingo Langhe
A structured Langhe red with cherry, dried raspberry and plum set against cedar, tobacco and earthy spice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with firm tannins softened by a rounded dark-fruit core. Savoury and composed after some air, it finishes with gentle spice and enough depth for braised meats, roast lamb, mushrooms or aged cheese.
Serge Mathieu 2009 Brut Millesime
A Pinot Noir-led Champagne with yellow apple, Williams pear and citrus over fine stony notes. The palate has real breadth and structure, but freshness and a precise mineral line keep it elegant. Dry, persistent and lightly grippy on the finish, it is a serious table Champagne for roast poultry, richer seafood or firm, nutty cheese.
La Frenz 2018 Chardonnay
Ripe peach and cream give the palate generous weight, balanced by enough freshness to keep the oak in line. Notes of caramel and oatmeal add a gently savoury, toasty depth without overwhelming the fruit. Full-bodied and confidently styled, it finishes clean and refreshing despite its richness. Serve lightly chilled with roast chicken, salmon or creamy mushroom dishes.
Chateau Des Gravieres 2024 Graves Blanc
Citrus, white peach, lychee and exotic fruit form a bright, finely detailed nose. Round yet fresh, the palate balances supple texture with clear fruit and a firm mineral line. A long, persistent finish keeps the wine composed and energetic. Serve with oysters, grilled prawns, white fish or light summer dishes.
Tiberio 2024 Pecorino
Green fig and yellow melon open with rosemary and sage. The palate is round and full, then lifted by zesty acidity and a thread of mineral freshness. Mint, chamomile, candied citrus and tart green apple add detail before a long, crisp finish. A focused match for grilled fish, shellfish, herb-led pasta or fresh cheese.
Sella & Mosca 2021 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva
Cherries and dark berries meet herbs, smoke and sun-dried tomato on a savoury, Mediterranean-leaning nose. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly peppery, with subtle minerality, polished tannins and a measured touch of spice. Blueberry and dark chocolate add depth before a tasty, composed finish. A natural match for roast lamb, sausages or mushroom dishes.
Cramele Recaș 2022 Solara Natural Red
Chateau Senilhac 2020 Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois
Garnet in colour, with an aromatic, fruit-led nose and a supple, generous palate. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot bring ripe red fruit, savoury depth and a gentle spicy lift. The finish is long and persistent, carrying a polished, composed character. A brief decant will let its aromatic detail settle into focus. Serve with roast beef, lamb, mushroom dishes or firm cheese.
Château Le Grand Verdus 2016 Grande Réserve Bordeaux Supérieur
Dark plum, black cherry and blueberry lead, with tobacco leaf, graphite, dark chocolate and baking spice adding savoury depth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with rounded fruit, fine tannins and lively acidity keeping the wine composed. Earthy notes linger through a balanced, satisfying finish. Serve with veal chops, roast beef, grilled mushrooms or firm cheese.
Château La Croix Bonnelle 2019 Saint-Émilion
Warm blackberry and red berries sit at the centre, joined by vanilla and gentle baking spice. The palate is full and composed, with ripe dark fruit carried by firm, well-developed tannins. Freshness through the mid-palate keeps the structure balanced, and the finish remains savoury and persistent rather than heavy. Serve with roast beef, lamb shoulder, lentils or aged hard cheese.
Champ Du Moulin 2019 Bdx Superieur
A seductive Bordeaux blend with plum, blackberry and savoury herbs, accented by subtle oak spice. The palate is balanced and fruit-filled, with ripe tannins giving the dark fruit a smooth, composed frame. Approachable with a little air, it is well matched with roast beef, grilled lamb, mushrooms or firm cheese.
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.
