Orange Wine
Parajes Del Valle, Macabeo, 2024, Manchuela, Spain
Candied, orange citrus nose of tangerine, orange, melon. The palate is nice and grippy with more white nut, along with some citrus and candied fruit note. Great fresh acidity, matches the structure with a dry finish.£23.00Orsi San Vito, 'Posca Bianca', NV, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
This non-vintage wine is drawn from a big old concrete vat which contains a blend of Pignoletto, Alionza, Albana and Malvasia from different vineyards of various ages, from every vintage back to 2010. The wines are made in different ways, in a variety of vessels. The majority of the blend is made up of wine from the most recent vintage and the vat is constantly being topped up with young wine to prevent oxidation. This is a great trattoria wine that while easy to drink, is anything but simple. While the younger wines are all fruit and flowers, there’s a salty, nutty backbone to this which makes for a wine of real intrigue.£42.00Bott Frigyes, 'Just Enjoy', Traminer, 2023, Garam Valley, Slovakia
Aromatic pronounced nose of ripe peach, pineapple and mango chutney. Vibrant complex mouthfeel, with smooth tannins and creamy round finish. A charming orange wine, that will please everyone.£39.50Cantina Giardino, 'Gaia', Fiano, 2021, Campania, Italy
Fiano from a ninety year old vineyard planted some five hundred metres above sea level. It was fermented on skins for four days, before a year of rest in both chestnut and mulberry casks. This wows with complex aromatics of white flowers, chalk and minerals, whilst the finest of tannins lead to a long, salty finish. As good as it gets.£49.00Lambert Spielmann, 'Adul'Terre', Gewürztraminer, 2022, Alsace, France
Gewürztraminer from a parcel of twenty five year old vines planted over clay and limestone in Obernai, fermented as whole bunches for a week before being pressed off to barrels for a short élevage. From a vintage so suited to aromatic grapes, the wine’s filigree tannins frame complex flavours of zest, minerals and rose.£51.50
Sparkling Wine
Piri Naturel, 'Pét Nat', Scheurebe & Müller Thurgau, 2022, Nahe, Germany
Piri's Pet-Nat floats in with all the charm of a garden picnic—juicy pear, ripe peach and a squeeze of lemon zest, wrapped in soft floral lift. The bubbles are fine and creamy, giving it a gentle sparkle that dances on the tongue without rushing. There's a lovely roundness to the palate, with just enough zing to keep things bright and breezy. Unfiltered and undisturbed, it's a joyfully rustic fizz with a laid-back, orchard-fresh soul.£38.50Koppitsch, 'Pretty Nuts', Blaufränkisch & Syrah, 2023, Burgenland, Austria
‘A bubbly that fits all four seasons’ - the idea behind the alternating labels that resonates with the fun yet concentrated juice thats inside the bottle. Smacks you in the face like the most delicious berry punch you’ve ever had!£39.50
White Wine
Grégory Guillaume, 'Lucky', Grenache Blanc, 2022, Ardèche, France
Grenache Blanc from a remote fifty year old parcel in the hills above Villeneuve-de-Berg. This was pressed directly to old barrels for a year of rest. A warmer year has produced a rich and heady wine with a gentle spritz that carries hazy notes of ripe, sunkissed stone fruits and woody herbs.£31.00Monteforche, 'Carantina', Garganega, 2023, Veneto, Italy
Garganega from vines up to thirty years old, planted over the region’s volcanic soils. This was fermented on the skins for two days, before being pressed to concrete vats for nine months. This cooler vintage has produced a pale, delicate wine with gentle notes of stone fruits, smoke and minerals.£35.00Baracco, 'Fior di Bianco', Grillo, Catarratto & Zibibbo, 2023, Sicily, Italy
£36.00Bencze, Chenin Blanc, 2021, Badacsony, Hungary
István’s affection for Chenin stems deep from the love for the wines of the Loire Valley. Which, I guess justifies, that he couldn’t imagine his vineyard without planting some. Even more so, when he makes such a brilliant wine from it. Multilayered citrus, white peach paired with almonds and lanolin. Creamy, round with a chalky minerality and electric acidity on the finish. A must try for the Chenin lovers.£45.50Marko Fon, Malvazija, 2022, Kras, Slovenia
From a remote plot of fifty year old vines, it spends two days on skins and a year in a combination of old cask and stainless-steel tank. This is a benchmark for the varietal, combining the grape’s gorgeous aromatics and cleansing acidity with impeccable balance. The finish is salty and whistle clean, a hallmark of the limestone soils of the Kras.£47.00La Petite Soeur, Les Gâts, Sauvignon Blanc, 2023, Loire, France
Sauvignon Blanc from two parcels: fifty five year old vines planted over schist, and thirty year old vines over clay. The grapes were fermented as whole bunches for a week, before being pressed to vats until the following spring. From a cooler year, this offers soaring aromas of elderflower, tempered by fine tannins, pith and zest. A highly original expression of the grape.£47.00Robinot, 'Cuvee Bistrologie', Chenin Blanc, 2021, Loire, France
Chenin Blanc from vines around forty years old, pressed directly to barrel for a year of elévage. Reflecting the vintage this is electric, humming with an intense, stony minerality and a long, lingering line of acid. After a nice rest in our cellar, it is just beginning to show its pedigree, suggesting a long life ahead.£55.00
Red Wine
Parajes Del Valle, Monastrell, 2023, Jumilla, Spain
Bright, piercing cherry red, crisp and glistening. The nose is also bright, intense, concentrated with redcurrants, cherry, raspberry and some green pepper spice. The fruit is fresh, juicy but with piercing clean acidity and young grippy tannins. Concentrated and elegant redcurrant fruit persists to finish on spice, fresh tobacco and lots of morish acidity.£23.00Domaine de Haute-Perche, Gamay, 2023, Loire, France
Anjou Gamay which is very precise in its fruit-forward, juicy nature. Raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, very persistent, with a white pepper and light spicy notes on finish. Low tannins and one that works on its own as well as lighter dishes.£31.00Les Petites Mises, 'Sanguine', Carignan, 2021, Languedoc, France
Carignan from vines between sixty and one hundred years old, planted over fine, silty soils down by the river. The grapes were destemmed and spent forty days on skins in vats, before the free run juice was transferred to glass demijohns for fourteen months of élevage. Luminous in the glass, reflecting the vintage this displays a pleasant freshness and is gently perfumed with red berries and bitter herbs. An uplifting wine that is full of sunshine.£36.00Romuald Valot, 'Électron Libre, Gamay, 2023, Beaujolais, France
Gamay from three hectares of hundred-year-old vines planted five hundred metres above sea level around Romuald’s home in Beaujeu. The vines are left to grow wild and are neither pruned nor ploughed. The result is a dark-fruited, pure and lively take on the grape with a unique energy that keeps us coming back for more.£36.00Cantina Giardino, 'Le Fole', Aglianico, 2020, Campania, Italy
Aglianico from a remote vineyard around eighty years old, planted almost five hundred metres above sea level. It sees twelve days on skins and two years resting in concrete vats, rendering a deep, dark and savoury wine that provides a great introduction to the house style of Irpinia’s emblematic grape.£38.50Claire and Florent Bejon, 'Pain Perdu', Cabernet Franc, 2022, Loire, France
From a small parcel of Cabernet Franc in the village of Beaumont-en-Véron on the right bank of the Vienne. The vines here are forty years old and planted on a slope over limestone and sand. The grapes were fermented as whole bunches in cuve for three weeks, before being pressed to a combination of vats, old barrels and amphorae for a short élevage. Wonderfully plush, open and expressive, it pairs red fruits, earth and spice to beautiful effect.£39.50Olivier Boulin, 'Le Vol Tige du Cat', Carignan & Grenache, 2021, Jura, France
A blend of old vines grapes from a parcel farmed by Sébastien Chatillon planted over limestone near Uzes in the Gard. The grapes were macerated on the skins for three weeks, before being pressed slowly to old barrels for a year of elévage. Southern in accent, the cooler vintage has produced an elegant wine with delicate notes of red berries, earth and herbs.£43.00Robinot, 'Le Regard', Pineau d’Aunis, 2023, Loire, France
Pineau d’Aunis from thirty year old vines. The grapes were fermented as whole bunches for three weeks and spent fifteen months ageing in old barrels. As always, this is made from the first of the variety the family harvested, and as such, it is the most immediate of their reds. From a cool, classic vintage, it pours a gleaming ruby and is taut, neat, and fragrant with wild strawberry and cracked pepper.£62.00
