Wine
La Frenz 2021 Malbec
Raspberry and blueberry lead the nose, joined by an earthy, savoury note. The palate turns darker and more generous, with blackberry fruit and tobacco carried by a luscious mouthfeel. The contrast between bright berry aromatics and deeper, earthier flavours gives the wine a composed sense of depth while keeping this Malbec direct and inviting.
Niche 2022 Extra Mile Cabernet Franc
Ripe red fruit leads, joined by savoury herbs and a fine peppery, earthy edge. The palate is medium-bodied and mouthwatering, with measured oak adding polish without crowding the fruit. Balanced, versatile and easy to enjoy, it has enough savoury depth for tomato-braised dishes, grilled vegetables, herb-roasted pork, lentils or mushrooms finished with a bright vinaigrette.
Fattoria La Vialla 2021 Mussantino Selvatico Frizzante Extra Dry
Fresh berry fruit and rose petal lead with clear varietal character. The palate is smooth, lively and well balanced, its delicate perlage carrying red-fruit brightness and a gentle floral lift. A light touch of sweetness is kept in check by freshness, leaving the finish elegant, clean and easy-flowing rather than heavy.
Tirriddis NV House Gris
Sweet lemon and peach skin open into ripe stone fruit, pear and tropical melon rind. Light-bodied and delicate, the palate carries tightly packed bubbles and bright acidity, with a lightly off-dry texture bringing shape without blunting the freshness. The finish is crisp and drawn out, leaving citrus, peach and a subtle mineral note behind.
Tirriddis NV House Rosé Brut
Brilliant pink with a lively stream of fine bubbles. Crunchy red berries and ripe strawberry lead, followed by a gentle shortcake note from lees ageing. The palate is light but expressive, balancing juicy fruit with bright acidity and a clean mineral edge. Fresh and dry through the finish, it remains poised, vivid and easy to return to.
Gustave Lorentz NV Crémant d’Alsace Brut
Autour de l’Anne NV Wonder Womanne Sparkling Rosé
Coral pink and lively in the glass, with dried rose, fresh peach and ripe red berries carried by a bright, playful fizz. The palate stays dry and aromatic, balancing gentle acidity with a soft honeyed tone and an earthy, savoury edge. Energetic but composed, this naturally made sparkling rosé is an easy match for charcuterie, grilled vegetables or lightly spiced dishes.
Larrivaux 2019 Haut Medoc
A structured Haut-Médoc with intense blackcurrant and bramble aromas, followed by dark cherry and a light leather note. Parma violet brings an aromatic lift to the palate, while ripe tannins give the fruit shape and persistence. Balanced and savoury through the finish, it is a natural partner for roast beef, lamb, mushrooms or aged hard cheese.
Mejean 2019 Graves
A structured Graves with blackberry and cassis, joined by sweet spice, hazelnut and a lightly earthy bark note. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with succulent dark fruit framed by firm, polished tannins. Flavourful and composed on the finish, it is a natural partner for grilled beef, roast lamb, mushrooms or aged hard cheese.
Martin Ray 2021 Concrete Dutton Ranch Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Jonagold apple and Bartlett pear lead, with honeycomb, quince and a fresh squeeze of lemon adding detail. Bright acidity keeps the weighty mid-palate focused, while citrus and bergamot bring lift and aromatic clarity. Clean and linear through the finish, the Chardonnay balances ripe orchard fruit with freshness and a fine mineral edge.
Bodegas Itsasmendi 2019 Itsasmendi 7 Txakoli
Floral aromas, talcum powder and lemon zest lead into ripe white fruit and a cool mineral note. Broad and gently unctuous on the palate, it balances concentrated flavour with crisp, driving acidity. Grapefruit, quince and subtle herbal detail carry the structured, persistent finish. Serve with grilled fish, salt cod or savoury rice dishes.
Ossian 2018 Quintaluna Verdejo
Waxy apple and melon meet white pepper, hot stone and delicate white flowers. The palate is vibrant and refined, with peach, lemon and mandarin carried by bright acidity and a clear mineral line. Rounded texture adds generosity without dulling the freshness, while almond and ripe fruit linger on the clean finish.
Cordero di Montezemolo 2024 Langhe Arneis
Apricot and soft floral notes lead a bright straw-coloured white with a clean, dry profile. The palate is crisp and straightforward, with enough freshness to keep the finish lively and precise. Easy to enjoy but neatly composed, it works well as an aperitif or with antipasti, grilled fish and simply dressed vegetables.
La Rivolta 2021 Greco Sannio Taburno
Golden apple, quince and pomelo lead, with white flowers and tuberose bringing an aromatic lift. Silky in texture, the palate remains taut and refreshing, while crushed-limestone minerality gives the finish quiet definition. A subtle bitter-almond edge adds length and savoury complexity. Serve with shellfish, grilled fish, fresh mozzarella or light poultry dishes.
Gros & Tollot 2018 La CinsO
Ruby red with a youthful purple edge, opening on rose petal, raspberry, plum and warm spice. The palate has good substance and ripe fruit, shaped by a rounded texture and polished tannins. Freshness keeps the profile lively and precise, leading to a long, refined finish with generous red-fruit flavour and easy drinkability.
Tunella 2020 Pinot Nero Friuli Colli Orientali DOC
Intense ruby in the glass, opening with fragrant raspberry, strawberry and wild berries, followed by a light herbal lift.

Bright red fruit carries cleanly through the poised, easy-flowing finish.
