Selection
7 Vinas 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon
Structured blackberry and cassis and a measured oak note give it considerable depth. The palate is dark-fruited and composed, with enough depth for grilled red meat, hearty pasta or aged cheese. Firm but approachable through the finish, it also works well on its own after a little time in the glass.
7 Vinas Tierra Del Huarpe 2024 Malbec
A supple Malbec with blackberry, blueberry and dark plum, followed by vanilla and gentle baking spice. The palate is medium-bodied and velvety, with ripe tannins and well-judged acidity keeping the fruit balanced. Smooth and persistent on the finish, it is an easy fit with grilled beef, empanadas, roasted vegetables or a firm, savoury cheese.
71 Brewing Heavy Lifting Scottish Heavy
Dark amber and firmly malt-led, this Scottish heavy layers caramel, toffee, molasses and brown sugar in a smooth, compact palate. Toasted malt keeps the sweetness grounded, while the restrained strength and easy texture preserve a genuinely sessionable shape. The finish is mellow, rounded and clean. Serve cool with steak pie, sausages, roast mushrooms, aged cheddar or sticky toffee pudding, where the beer’s deep malt character can echo the dish without becoming heavy.
8th Generation 2023 Pinot Meunier Blanc de Noir
Very pale and lively, with fine bubbles carrying a clean, understated fruit profile. The palate is crisp and firmly dry, balancing delicate flavour with a refreshing, streamlined texture. Its brightness makes it especially versatile at the table. Serve well chilled with oysters, soft cheeses, smoked salmon, roast chicken or a simple summer salad; it also works beautifully as an aperitif.
8th Generation 2023 Pinot Meunier Rosé
Clean and dry, with bright red-fruit character and a crisp, refreshing line through the palate. Its light frame keeps the fruit lively rather than sweet, while the finish is precise and easygoing. Serve well chilled alongside salmon, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or a summer salad; it also makes a polished aperitif.
99 Bananas Liqueur Single
Ripe banana and sweet tropical fruit lead an intensely flavoured, smooth profile with a long, warming finish. The bold fruit character is especially expressive when well chilled, poured as a small serve or used sparingly to lift cocktails. Try it with coconut rum and pineapple juice, add a measured splash to a chocolate-led drink, or serve alongside banana bread, caramel desserts or vanilla ice cream.
A Sunday in August 2022 Lilypond Pinot Noir
Fresh cherry and raspberry sit over a light floral and herbal lift. The palate is supple and energetic, with semi-carbonic fermentation giving the fruit a bright, immediate feel rather than heavy extraction. Gentle savoury notes from a short rest in neutral barrel add shape, while lively acidity carries the red fruit into a clean, lightly textured finish.
A Sunday in August 2024 Carbonic Orange
Fresh, aromatic tropical fruit leads a bright, lightly textured palate. A blend of Epicure and Siegerrebe receives a short maceration, giving the wine gentle grip while preserving lift and immediacy. The fruit stays vivid through a clean, lively finish, with enough structure for the table. Serve well chilled with mezze, grilled vegetables, soft cheeses or lightly spiced dishes.
A Sunday in August Gulf Island Vermouth
Bright citrus peel and fresh coastal herbs shape a lively, aromatic nose, with a soft floral note adding lift. The palate is dry and lightly textured, carrying subtle orchard fruit beneath layered botanical bitterness. A clean saline suggestion keeps the profile energetic, while the citrus returns through a crisp, gently bitter finish. Serve chilled over ice with a citrus twist, or use it in a lighter Negroni-style aperitif alongside olives, fresh cheese or simple seafood.
A-F Gros 2016 Echezeaux Grand Cru Mg
Floral aromas of lavender and violet meet red cherry, spiced plum and a discreet toastiness. The palate is medium-bodied yet concentrated, with ripe strawberry, darker berry fruit and a gentle earthy undertone. Silky texture and balanced acidity carry into a powerful, clean finish framed by refined, moderately firm tannins.
Aalto 2004 PS Ribera del Duero Magnum 1.5 L
Blackberry and pomegranate lead an intense, expressive profile, joined by dark chocolate, mineral detail and warm spice. The palate is rich and voluptuous yet carries its scale with balance and surprising lightness. Ripe, firm tannins give structure, while liquorice, leather and savoury meat add depth. The texture stays velvety through a long, gently sweet finish. Decant before serving with roast lamb or braised beef.
