Gin 8 demonstrates how molecular flavour tuning can make a harmonious blend of just 8 separate molecular notes. These are derived from 8 exotic botanicals, including Kaffir lime, yuzu and grains of paradise, layered over a core of subtle, organic juniper. The flavour and scent profile is led by lively kaffir lime and citrus zest, following through middle notes of juniper and watermelon and onto a base of warm orange flavours. Gin 8 is a very flexible spirit: enjoy it neat, on ice, paired with your favourite tonic, or in the very finest cocktails.

Rich, fruity and intense, it is loaded with raspberry and black cherry aromas, cedar chips and pretty violet notes and a hint of vanilla. The vanilla pops back again on the palate with caramel and supple grapey flavours.

Kloovenburg's Village White is a new, good-value Cape white blend of Chenin Blanc, 30% Roussanne and 10% Verdelho from Kloovenburg's own vines. Pear, citrus and greengage fruit flavours are embellished by a bitter twist from partial skin contact. Fresh, focused and unwooded.

February: blind tasting and assemblage (blending) of wines which use mixed harvests and mixed grape varieties.

Baron Velge sold this estate in 2017, after twenty years of ownership, to Jacky Lorenzetti of Ch Lilian Ladouys. His final vintage here delivers a high quality, enjoyable wine that has sweet, dark fruit and plenty of attractive aromatics upfront. Even better and perfect for drinking in 2025. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. A classic and richly rewarding claret.

Bright, fresh and fruit-driven, made with a blend of sustainably grown, aromatic varieties including Pinot Noir, Chardnnay and Pinot Blanc, that require minimal intervention in the vineyard. The grapes were pressed under nitrogen to retain their delicate flavours, with a proportion fermented in neutral oak to add complexity. Secondary fermentation was completed in tank, making it one of the first of its kind produced in England.

Super baby wine from top Chateauneuf grower. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, this is Roger Sabon's excellent expression of Côtes du Rhône. Matured in a combination of wood and stainless steel tanks Rhône by Roger Sabon is a bold, fruity wine with vanilla and sweet liquorice notes alongside black cherry coated tannins. A wine ready for drinking now but will continue to improve over the next 3 to 5 years.

Natural, organic Macabeu from a beautiful vineyard in Calce, Roussillon blended 50/50 with Chenin Blanc from Aveyron in central France! The Chenin Blanc is from Vincent's friends at Coultades du Coustoubi. The '78' moniker comes from both postcodes being added together - 66 for Roussillon and 12 for Aveyron. The blend makes for a wine of great character with a precise, floral nose, a good body that has great tension with fine acidity. Really interesting and ultimately, hugely satisfying wine. Vincent Carreras has been working in wine industry for 13 years. For nine years he worked for a winery in the south of the Roussillon, Andy Cook’s Mas Cristine and Coume del Mas. Working in the vineyard, cellar and commercial activities - the whole shebang! For four years now he has been employed by a family winery based in Maury - Clos des Vins d'Amour. Who work 25 hectares organically in the west of Roussillon. Mostly in commercial activities, but also working in the cellar. Alongside this, in 2016, Vincent started a new project - Domaine Odyssée. The 3.5ha of vineyards are in Calce and Baixas, in a heart of Roussillon. The sites are small, but unquestionably some of the most beautiful we have seen. Vincent draws on the experiences mentioned above and his time in New Zealand (2011), Argentina (2012) and Bordeaux 2011 to help fully realise what he has there in his exceptional terroir. Vincent works organically, using no weedkillers, no chemical products. He works by hand and with organic fertilizer (he is in conversion right now). He harvests his parcels by himself with friends and family. In the cellar, Vincent’s philosophy is a minimum of intervention "To keep the fruit and the terroir.". The wines are extracted gently with just a little pump over. No filtration, no fining. The only preservative is a little dose of sulphites in very low quantities at bottling "It is important for me the stabilise the wine in respect of the future customers".

Form the marl and calcareous soils of Rorschwihr, the Terroir des Châteaux Forts is a blend of 25% Gewürztraminer, 40% Auxerrois and the rest Pinot Gris and Riesling. The wine has a clear, golden shimmering citrus color and offers a clear and delicate bouquet with flinty/earthy aromas. Round, fresh and piquant, this is a a refreshing, elegant and well-structured white from 20- to 40-year-old vines. There is a lovely finesse and piquancy, while the finish is firm, intense, salty and quite long. An excellent wine at a very reasonable price.. A must with asparagus!

It was created using botanicals that were foraged locally in the spring and summer of 2021 in a bid to capture the essence of the shifting English seasons. Billed as a “collector’s item” The gin was distilled using the company’s novo-dimensional distillation system, in which nine variables including temperature, pressure and time can be adjusted for the distillation of each botanical. These separate distillates are then blended together to create the final spirit. With botanicals include lemon balm, hawthorn blossom, nettles and cow parsley flowers, Cambridge Distillery says the gin is elegant with citrus and herbaceous notes. It recommends serving chilled, over ice, or in an extra-dry martini.

92/100 "Impressively poised nose with lightly reductive lemons and white peaches, as well as freshly cut herbs. The palate has impressive concentration and quite intense notes of fresh, grassy lemons and stone. Great poise here. A blend of 59% semillon and 41% sauvignon blanc. Drink now." James Suckling

Petite Sirah is most frequently a complementary variety to Zinfandel in traditional field blends. At Lytton Estate, since 1992, we have made it as a standalone wine. Here, in the loamy-clay soils, it thrives, producing compact clusters of very small, concentrated berries. True to the nature of this grape, the 2023 is deeply coloured, concentrated and capable of ageing for at least ten years.

Packed full of wild strawberry fruit with hints of raspberry, the palate adds a touch of spice to the sweet fruit and even a touch of coffee. This is a lovely approachable wine. Alain Gras is the reference point for St-Romain. This extremely steep village was considered part of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune until 1947. The vineyards are set back from the main Côte and mostly at higher elevation and have unquestionably improved in quality by the changes in climate and no longer struggle to reach full physiological maturity. The domaine covers 12 hectares with 8ha being planted with Chardonnay and 4ha to Pinot Noir. There are 42 separate parcels but Alain prefers to blend the grapes into one cuvée.

The Saint-Estèphe is produced from the younger fruit of Château LesOrmes de Pez. The blend is 59% CabernetSauvignon, 39% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc.The young fruit delivers a forward, silky style for immediate pleasure but the classic Saint-Estèphe structure is also clearly on show. Dark-crimson rim. Open and aromatic: black cherry, blueberry, some oak spice and vanilla but not too much. Powerful, compact, dry but still balanced and finishes fresh. Big and chewy but still harmonious.

Pineau - a fortified wine, made from either fresh, unfermented grape juice or a blend of lightly fermented grape must, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured.

This delightful sparkling rose is pure and bright full of zingy fresh fruit flavours. It is a blend of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grown at Tuffon Hall in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. With two years on lees this provides depth and interest to the bright fruit. A great apero or also paired with all sorts of dishes.

A GENUINE ICON OF JEREZ. Dense, nutty, proper old-school sweet Oloroso. Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez) is matured, separately in its own solera for 12 years. Once blended together, the resulting sherry is returned to a 45-cask solera for a further 3 years aging. Its aging process recreates that of the wines which crossed the oceans in the 17th century voyages.

Trophy and Best White in Show at the 2019 Wine Merchant Top 100 for the 2018 Vintage, followed up with 95 points in a panel tasting in Decanter for the 2019. This is bright and elegant, reminiscent of fresh and dried yellow fruit, flecks of citrus, vanilla and hazelnuts. Three months barrel ageing in oak contributes to its full body and rich finish.

Form the marl and calcareous soils of Rorschwihr, the Terroir des Châteaux Forts is a blend of 20% Gewürztraminer, 40% Auxerrois and the rest Pinot Gris and Muscat. The wine has a clear, golden shimmering citrus color and offers a clear and delicate bouquet with flinty/earthy aromas. Round, fresh and piquant, this is a a refreshing, elegant and well-structured white from 20- to 40-year-old vines. There is a lovely finesse and piquancy, while the finish is firm, intense, salty and quite long. An excellent wine at a very reasonable price.. A must with asparagus!

Made from a blend of Bacchus and Pinot Gris, The English Gent is bursting with aromas of blossom and white meadow flowers. On the palate, notes of grapefruit, orange peel and white stone fruit, make way for a juicy golden apples. Suggested pairing: For a truly British pairing, try it with a succulent Sunday roast chicken. Or equally as good, for sipping away a carefree evening

Winemaking Picked in October 2023. A blend of two blocks: clone 121 from 2019 vines and clone 95 planted in 2009. Grapes pressed and settled before fermenting cool in stainless steel with added yeast. Tasting Notes Nose: Ripe citrus, orchard fruit Palate: Stone fruit, crisp, fresh and clean Food Match Creamy fish or chicken dishes, seafood, simple weeknight meals.

A beautifully balanced example of white Rioja that straddles the styles of the old and the new. Vibrant citrussy Viura is blended with the more weighty Malvasia and the brief barrel maturation adds a honeyed roundness to the crisp lemony fruit. Beautiful golden yellow colour with bright lemon-tinted reflections. Elegant, combining hints of flowers, fruits and hazelnuts. Dry, with just enough acidity to make it fresh and lively with a structured and tasty finish of ripe fruit.

A blend of 52% Semillon and 48% Sauvignon Blanc harvested from the 4th to the 16th of September, the 2019 Le Blanc Sec de Suduiraut is aged for six months, 25% in nearly all new French oak barrels, 75% in vats. The alcohol came in at 13.2%. The nose is redolent of uncomplicated poached pears and lemon meringue pie scents with touches of nutmeg and powdered white pepper. The medium-bodied palate has plenty of citrus and spice intensity with a lively line of freshness and a spicy finish.

This baby wine of SA's most famed grand Bordeaux-blend Rubicon is on astonishing form. In fact as no Rubicon was made in 2019 this wine contains all the top barrels that would normally be reserved for it. 50% new Nevers oak, 27% Cab Franc. Dense but taut with cab franc lift, pencil lead, capsicum, the whole spectrum of Cabernet class at a crazy good price.

An unusual, but terrific, blend showing off Alsace's grape varieties in a supergroup line up. The spiciness of Gewurz; the grapiness of Muscat; the body of Pinot Gris; the backbone of Riesling; and the refreshing character of Sylvaner. The resulting wine is fresh and characterful. Aroma and flavours of lemon, tropical fruit and white peaches, floral notes and petroleum. Additional flavours on the palate of pineapple and ground white pepper. Dry medium plus bodied wine. Good length. A super complex wine and fabulous value. Vegan, Biodynamic agriculture

Some fizz (relatively modest), low (11%) alcohol and a bit of sugar (only 5 grams per litre– barely over the legal “dry” limit and rather low for this style). It is a blend of 40% Arinto, 20% Azal, 20% Avesso and 20% Loureiro. This is the winery’s entry-level wine and it offers amazing value. We've made the decision to offer the wine in both cork and screwcap. This is the screwcap version.

The Rutherglen Muscat is typically tawny red in colour with aromas of rose petals, raisins and dried fruit. These characters carry through to the palate, balanced with fresh acidity. The wine is unctuous and rich yet zesty and balanced. This classic Rutherglen is made in the traditional manner using a range of different oak barrels. Each wine is aged as a single vintage and vineyard parcel until blending.

This is possibly Flint Vineyard’s pinkest and fruitiest Charmat Rosé to date, and, for the first time, the blend includes a portion of Pinot Noir and Bacchus. This release is bursting with confected strawberries and cream. But it’s not just all fruit, there is a slight praline nuttiness in the background, which gives the wine some complexity. On the palate it is crisp and bursting with red fruits. Very drinkable as an aperitif and perfect for celebrations. A really lovely British drop playing the Italians at their own game. Well done, Flint.

93/100 Decanter "Charcoal, liquorice and blue fruit with a cool minty edge and pencil lead define the nose of this 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot blend. Succulent and juicy, it pulses with life – clean and lively, less immediately deep than 2018 but hugely fun and easy to drink. Good persistence, lifted and clean. Good to drink now with shoulders and muscle, yet without the sunny flesh of 2018. Strawberries, cherries, blueberries and hints of liquorice and graphite give the classic signature with less heft. Brilliant right now."

A limited edition wine from Gayda that changes with every vintage. And the 2023 is an exciting new take indeed! Beautiful Rolle (Vermentino) and Viognier from the Minervois are picked when perfectly ripe then pressed slowly in whole bunches, with very gentle racking and seeing careful vinification without sulphur, at low temperature - ageing on lees - the Rolle in stainless steel vats, and the Viognier in a mixture of concrete eggs and stainless steel tanks. This is SPARKLY BRIGHT and DAZZLING with good richness also. The pale yellow colour is elegant and brilliant. On the nose, a discreet subtlety reveals notes of Granny Smith apple, lime and fresh almonds, characteristic of the blend of Rolle and Viognier grapes. On the palate, the wine is full and generous, supported by a lovely acidity and a slight, attractive bitterness on the finish. A mineral touch adds fascinating depth also. The flavours of fresh pear, acacia flower, almond and white peach unfold harmoniously, offering you a refined, beautifully balanced treat of a wine. Unique and utterly, utterly marvellous. A LOT of wine for the money.

The vineyard is planted to approximately 50% Pinot Noir, over different aspects and soil types. This wine comes from vines planted on the south and southeast facing blocks and is a combination of MV6 and 777 clones. This block has a cooler, more protected aspect, enabling extended ripening flavour and tannin. This wine reflects a cooler vintage, with a delicate fruit and an elegant structure. Winemaking: The fruit parcels of fruit were fermented in 2000L vats with a small proportion of whole bunch use, given the cooler year. Maceration for approximately two-three weeks, with gentle pump- overs used twice daily for cap management. The wine was matured in French oak (25% new) for 10 months before blending. 120 dozen produced. 196 bottles for the UK. Review by Tony Love at Winepilot 2025 SA Wine Guide "From estate blocks where longer ripening occurs, enhancing the varietal aromatics which sit a little deeper in the wine - take your time to reveal what appears to be a terroir note of alpine herbs and florals. The fruit is darker cherry with good acidity balance and soft tannins. Good substance here in a delicate framework. 12.6% alc. Drink now - 2032" 94/100 Points "The 2023 were such a protracted vintage - something more of the 80s than most these days being warmer and earlier. They are really starting to show nicely now - longer ripening windows giving more phenological ripeness rather than the royal fruit forward style of warmer vintages". Sholto Broderick

This Claret is fresh and balanced. The blend is Merlot-based and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, giving a nice aroma of spice and wood smoke. The palate is fleshy with a hint of plum, the tannins fine and firm, leading to a generous finish. Drink now to 2036 Château Laroque, one of the oldest estates in Saint-Émilion, traces its origins to the 12th century. A steadfast witness to the passing ages, the château stands high above the landscape, with its fortified tower—a relic of its medieval past—surveying the land. Positioned on an extraordinary limestone plateau, Laroque enjoys a unique terroir at the intersection of Saint-Émilion's finest soils. To the west, limestone outcrops similar to those at Clos Fourtet lend the wines finesse and a distinct minerality. Further east, layers of red clay intermingle with hard limestone, evoking the characteristic terroirs of Pavie-Macquin and Troplong-Mondot. And along the sunset-facing slopes, rich in Fronsadais molasses, one is reminded of the hallowed grounds of Ausone and Tertre-Roteboeuf. After lying dormant for several decades, Laroque was brought back to life in the 1960s by the Beaumartin family. Today, under the stewardship of Stanislas Droin and David Suire, the estate shines once more, crafting wines of remarkable intensity and authenticity, steeped in history and shaped by the profound character of this exceptional terroir.

Cool climate freshness and fragrant sweet, ripe cherry and blackberry flavours, with firm, ripe tannins. Blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Mouvedre, Viognier. Drinking well now and suitable for cellaring for at least 10 years.
