From a legendary New Zealand producer. Really pleasing nose. Straight up, classical, pure. Slightly smoky, but soft too. Creamy, sweet lemon, slightly pithy on the finish. Clean, simple, and pleasing.

Mineral, saline aromas. Quite spicy. A little bit tropical, guava, passionfruit. Melon fruit, juicy, vibrant. Totally different. Very juicy. Textural. Plump but not fat. Bigger boned.

Quite toasty on the nose, crème brulee, Greenish yellow colour, pear and apple fruit, ripe, super juicy, super expressive, a little grip. Spice, leanness, and minerality on the finish. Lingering and ethereal.

Lightly purple. Bright fresh fruit, good concentration. Red cherry, raspberry, herbs, baking spices. Creamy, toasty oak. Well structured, moderately rich dark tannins, clear acidity. Good potential to evolve.

A lovely little set of wines for a springtime meal at home. Sauvignon Blanc 2020 IGP Vin de Loire, Maison Lispaul £9.99 is a little gem of a wine made by Shirey and David Maudry in Pouilly Fumé. Weird French rules restrict the size of single vineyards from which you can make Pouilly Fume, meaning about 10 acres of their vineyard has to be declassified. The result is a great value, classic Loire Valley Sauvignon, crisp, fruity, elegant. Ch Pey La Tour Reserve du Chateau 2016 Bordeaux Superieur is a rich and moreish claret made mainly from Merlot. Owned and made by the excellent team at Dourthe who alos own grand crus throughout Bordeaux. Domaine Treloar Muscat de Rivesaltes 2018 is made by englishman Jonathan Hesford, who set up in teh Roussillon some 15 years ago. Fragrant, delightfully sweet and tangy.

Exceptional at the price. There are few joys in life more joyous than mature Grand Cru BdeB from the Cote Des Blancs. Complex, muscular and serious but immediately and deeply enjoyable. Broad and assured, mature flavours just peeking though. Green apple vies with baked apple, nutty roasted richness underpins zest and vim.

We all need a little 'Funkstille' (radio silence) in our life now and again. Kick back and take a moment to enjoy the silence with a glass of Grüner Veltliner. With its subtle exotic hints, ripe pear and fresh citrus flavours, it's a dry wine with complex flavours. The palate is rich with flavours of melon and grapefruit with a refreshing, zippy finish.

Super-premium estate sited in the warmest, driest corner of England, near the coast and Malden (of posh salt fame). This south-facing ridge enjoys an exceptionally long warm growing season - so rare in England. Our old friend John Atkinson, Master of Wine, who is an expert on cool-climate viticulture, is enthusiastically involved. Winemaker is Liam Idzikowski who boasts long experience in English wine-making; backed by owners the Bunker family, the winery is an astonishing no-expense-spared jewel in the crown for English wine. The Pinot is deep and svelte in the Pommard/Volnay tradition, rich of fruit and cool of spice - clove, anise etc. Young but self-evidently grand, and deeply impressive.

A generous and balanced palate of sweet rosewater and Turkish delight complemented by the crisp acid Riesling component adding a zesty finish.

Super-rare unfiltered special edition, available while stocks last. A wonderful and understated wine.

Bright yellow in colour with vibrant citrus, pear and spice notes on the nose. The palate is full but extremely well balanced, with fresh Picpoul acidity and pure fruit flavours.

The medium-ruby colored IGP Pays D'Oc Les Zazous (100% Pinot Noir) offers a pretty, elegant style as well as attractive notes of dried cherries, dusty soil and spice. It's charming, has no hard edges and a clean finish, all of which make it ideal for drinking over the coming couple of years.

Made without sulphites, this is a unique and bewitching malbec from the Vincens family.

Beautifully sweet cherry pie nose, with oak, flowers, spices, minerals and savoury beetroot notes. Wonderfully fine tannins, great concentration of ripe plums and dried fruits, and a very long finish. Displays real elegance and power.

Stunning new vintage (2013) of this GORGEOUS and seductive staff and customer favourite. Complexity, depth, freshness and most of all, divine texture in SPADES. A great Tahi.

Joyous, juicy, charming and delightful wine from Treloar. A proper summer red. Or for lighter meat dishes.

This is our own labelled house wine and one of our best sellers. Typically juicy, with lots of delicious red fruits, a lick of oak adding some vanilla, and soft tannins at the finish. Every mouthful is so enjoyable.

An utterly divine blend of Semillon and Palomino at a silly, silly bin-end price. I'm told there shall be a jump in price in line with red with the next avaialbe vintage. But now, DO NOT MISS.

Jérôme and Elisabeth Billard are the 4th generation of his family to have managed Domaine Billard Pere & Fils. Their winery is located in La Rochepot, a village just west of Saint-Aubin. Jérôme has built up the estate's vineyard holdings to an impressive 18.5 hectares, with the largest area in Hautes Cotes de Beaune, as well as Beaune, St Romain, St Aubin, Auxey Duresses and Pommard. Jérôme’s philosophy is "expressing the typicity of the terroir.". Yields are low and grapes are concentrated because of organic farming techniques, extensive pruning and cover crops between vines. His trusty Percheron steed, Raphael, ploughs the vineyards at the estate and for Domaine de la Romanee Conti. Grapes are hand harvested and sorted on a vibrating table to ensure only the best are selected. Winemaking is low intervention. Pinot Noir is foot trodden to gently extract tannins, only natural yeasts are used and wines are left on lees in oak barrels before bottling at the estate. As a consequence of these meticulous efforts, Billard offers high quality wines with layers of complexity and concentration at surprisingly low prices. The Hautes Cotes de Beaune White comes from a single 3 hectare vineyard called La Justice which is found next to Saint Aubin on a sunny, chalky hillside with good drainage. Perfumed and floral with nice peach notes. Citrus, peach, and oaky and vanilla flavours with some white pepper. Nice acidity and length.

Certainly fresher than some previous vintages, this is immensely mouth-watering. Struck rock, clotted cream and orange blossom, just ripe greengage and honeydew melon, with a lightly creamy, leesy palate and zingy, white peppery finish. A proper treat from the master. "A fabulous bargain. Overdelivers in the most delightful way". Jancis Robinson MW

You pick up the delightful hints of cranberry, redcurrants and wild roses. A beautiful drink. Delicious with a vegetable tart, salad, bbq fish and chicken. While you don't want to overthink rose, this one is actually quite sophisticated, with its texture, quite a gastronomic example of rose and a good one for drinking in the cooler months. The elegance of the fruit and texture makes us think of a rather stylish white wine as it floats in the mouth, and then you get the delicious notes of cranberry cut in.

The 2019 Red Blend is composed of classical the Southern Rhône varieties Cinsault, Shiraz and Grenache. It is aged in foudres and concrete tanks ensuring plenty of fresh, perfumed and spicy bramble fruit. It is smooth and supple but with delicate grip and excellent freshness.

Partly skin contact, partly carbonic maceration, Adi previously used to blend these funkier components into the straight Secateurs, but in the last few vintages, they've chosen to bottle them alone to create Secateurs Riviera Adi highlights that whilst skin contact Chenin can sometimes be quite harsh, tannin dominant and linear, the carbonic maceration creates the most highly aromatic juice, loaded with luscious pineapple and tropical aromas. They layer whole bunches at the bottom of the tank, then destemmed, with the free run juice drawn off daily. A little cloudy in the glass, but no notes of anything too funky or unclean! Bruised peaches, effervescent vitamin c, rhubarb and custard sweets, earl grey tea and lemon barley water. Such fun! Chalky and long in the mouth, we can imagine it would be superb with crudo/ ceviche. Chalky and very long.

Light in alcohol, full in flavour. This wine packs a punch. Nutmeg and sweet spice intermingled with bright vibrant redcurrant, cranberry and strawberry. With such a delicate structure, this wine is perfect for red wine drinkers in the summer time. You could even serve it lightly chilled.

Cote Rotie is often seen as feminine, and here the 4% Viognier no doubt has its part to play but it is the magisterial elegance and profundity of the Syrah which takes the breath away.
