Selection
Foxtrot 2014 Chardonnay Magnum
Leafy green herbs, lemon skin and lemon oil lead into soft white peach and restrained barrel spice. The palate is rounded without losing its line, balancing creamy texture and subtle toast with clean citrus freshness. Mineral detail keeps the finish precise, giving the wine composure and quiet maturity rather than overt richness.
Foxtrot 2021 The Waltz Pinot Noir
Red cherry, wild raspberry and violet open with an earthy, gently savoury tone. The palate is medium-plus in body, carrying red and black cherry over a mineral core with hints of caramel, anise and fine spice. Fresh lift keeps the texture elegant, while herbal detail and quiet tobacco notes linger through a long, composed finish.
Frank Cornelissen 2017 Munjebel Rosso
Smoke, graphite and truffle meet wild black berries and molten chocolate on a deep, compelling nose. The palate is full and enveloping, layering blackberry, crushed black raspberry, liquorice and grilled herbs over velvety tannins. Tangy acidity and a lingering mineral note keep the richness precise. Decant and serve with venison, grilled beef, lamb shoulder or earthy mushroom dishes.
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.
Franz Haas 2022 Schweizer Pinot Nero Alto Adige 750 mL
Ripe cherry and wild berry notes open with pepper, leather and a cool savoury edge. The palate is elegant and finely structured, combining silky tannins with vivid red fruit and a harmonious, supple texture. Subtle spice adds depth through the middle without overt weight. The finish is long and composed, returning to cherry, berry fruit and gentle earthy detail with freshness and measured intensity.
Franz Haas Pònkler 2019 Pinot Nero Alto Adige 750 mL
Bright ruby in colour, with ripe raspberry, rosehip and blood orange giving the nose a vivid, lifted character. Sage, candied ginger and fine green spice add complexity without obscuring the fruit. The palate is deep yet elegant, spreading smoothly across the tongue with polished structure and lively spice. A subtle stony note brings focus, while balanced freshness carries the wine into a very long, precise finish.
Frédéric Brouca Vermouth Occitanie
Cherry and fresh red fruit open the aroma, followed by summer flowers, thyme, rosemary and lavender. The palate is round and gently ample, with smooth tannins carrying warm spice, orange peel and lemon. Wormwood and wild Mediterranean herbs bring a measured bitter edge, while the citrus keeps the rich fruit lifted. The finish is long, floral and fresh. Serve lightly chilled over ice, lengthen with tonic and citrus, or enjoy on its own as a contemplative aperitif.
Frédéric Savart La Moufle 2020 Les Mesneux Premier Cru Extra Brut Champagne 750 mL
Dried pear and bright citrus lead into ginger, sage and dried flowers, with a fine creamy touch beneath the fruit. The palate is tense and energetic, its Meunier-led core cut by saline minerality and chalky precision. Spice and menthol bring lift as the wine opens, while restrained dosage keeps the finish dry and focused. Balanced, pure and persistent, it closes with savoury mineral detail.
Free Form 2019 Cabernet Franc
Bold and complex, this Cabernet Franc layers dark plum and blackberry over smoke, mocha and classic herbal notes. The palate turns juicy with red fruit, supported by excellent structure and a fresh, mouthwatering finish. Concrete ageing keeps the fruit direct while spontaneous fermentation adds an unforced character. Pair with roasted game, grilled portobello mushrooms or a slow-cooked beef stew.
Free Form 2019 Vin Gris
Delicate fruit leads with poached pear, lemon and a subtle leesy note, followed by savoury herbs and gentle pepper spice. Whole-bunch pressing and concrete ageing give the palate a softly rounded, silky texture, while bright freshness and a faint saline, umami edge keep the dry finish lively, clean and quietly persistent.
Free Spirits The Spirit of Vermouth Rosso
Stewed fruit and warming spice lead a rich, aromatic profile, with clove, cinnamon and marjoram adding depth. Grape tannins provide structure while wormwood contributes floral, gently hoppy bitterness. The palate is rounded and bittersweet rather than sugary, carrying an earthy herbal note into a clean, spiced finish. Serve over ice with orange peel, or use as the sweet-vermouth element in a non-alcoholic Manhattan, Negroni or Boulevardier.
Freemark Abbey 2020 Huichica Hills Vineyard Chardonnay Napa Valley
Apple cobbler, crème brûlée and ripe pineapple open with orange marmalade and fresh peach. The palate is supple and integrated, layering stone fruit, candied lemon zest, baking spice, ambrosia and vanilla through a creamy texture. Vibrant acidity keeps the richness balanced, carrying the fruit into a long, nuanced and lingering finish.
French Door 2022 Fleur
Frias 2014 Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Blueberry, blackberry and cassis lead, joined by crushed violet, licorice and a graphite-like mineral note.

Decant before serving with roast beef or lamb.
Frias Family Vineyard 2015 SMD Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District
Cassis and blueberry lead with fresh floral notes, graphite and pencil shavings.

Tobacco, clove and forest floor deepen the profile, while balanced acidity carries the dense fruit into a long finish.
Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium 2019 Fritz Willi Trocken Riesling
Tart pear and white grapefruit open with crisp definition, moving into lime and lemon across the palate. This is a dry, invigorating Riesling with bright, electric acidity and a cool mineral line of steel and slate. Smoke and a gentle tea-like grip linger on the clean finish. Serve well chilled with shellfish or fresh cheeses.
Frind Estate Winery 2024 Midnight
Dark-fruited and generous, with plum, blackcurrant and blueberry layered over coffee, cedar and dark chocolate.

Pair with grilled beef, braised short ribs, roast mushrooms or firm cheese.
