Chateau Saint Paulin
A great follow up to the excellent 2020 vintage from this petit chateau that shows what great value can be found at the lower prices in Bordeaux. Velvety tannins and sweet blackcurrant fruit, it's very approachable although young and ready to drink.

Domaine Vendome
100% Viognier from Les Méjeans next to the winery on mix of kaolin white clay, argile calcaire and also decayed granite just above where the northern boundary of Crozes-Hermitage dips southward on the map, but the elevation remains high at 350m in between Gervans and Larnage, just a little to the north. Hand harvested in early morning, steel vat fermented at 18°C, raised 9 months, malo blocked. What a lovely wine from a unique, interesting terroir. A quite serious but relaxed and lovely, aromatic, floral, juicy but bright drinking Viognier with a gentle, gorgeous creaminess on the finish. Delicious as an apero or with semi hard goats cheese, peaches and charcuterie. A classy drop indeed.

Cascina Vano
A beautiful Barbaresco from this most exciting of Domaine's in Nieve, now headed up by brother and sister duo Beatrice and Marco Rivetti. We are very happy to be now adding them to our Piedmont portfolio. The 'Classico' label at Cascina Vano makes a very welcome return in the incredible 2021 vintage after being rested since the 1990 version. I mean, this is immense for the price considering Piemonte prices these days - where most new growers Langhe Nebbiolo are hitting the shelves around the £40 mark. Here we have three established (all vines 30yrs plus) estate vineyards, a south-east facing site in Canova MGA and a small south-east facing parcel near the top of the crest of Rivetti MGA and a slightly larger south-west facing parcel the other side of the hill finishing just above Borgata Rivetti. So, an interesting blend of very good vineyards in an as mentioned incredible vintage that is poised, direct, elegant and shining bright at well under forty quid - aren't we lucky? The vineyard sites average an elevation of 380m. In 2021 the grapes were harvested by hand in very late September into the first week of October. After destemming and a soft crushing, a natural fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is macerated on skins for 15 days. It is then run to 20 and 30hl Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months, with one decanting and racking per year. The wine is then put to bottle for at least six months. We've shipped these bottles a further two years down the line and the wine is in beautiful shape. A beautiful garnet colour with hints of burgundy and ruby. The nose is delicate and floral with lovely rose notes along with some mint and balsamic. The palate is classic and elegant with gorgeous pure fruit, beautiful acid, divine tannins and some spice and herbal notes on the charming long finish. Simply a great example to convince those of the beauty and value of Barbaresco wines.

Foncalieu
Really tasty. Full colour, but light on it's feet. Lots of staisfaction here. This wine is soft pressed after five hours of skin contact to produce a light pink wine. Fermentation occurs under controlled temperatures in stainless-steel tanks. Five days resting on the lees are followed by two days of cold settling. The vines that produce this wine are grafted from Argentine Malbec, which of course comes originally from Cahors in France. The wine maker is Argentine, and he searched all over the Languedoc for a place that would produce the characteristically bright and intense Malbec of his home country. He found this possibility in partnership with winegrowers from the Coteaux d’Ensérune, who follow a 1,000-year-old viticultural tradition marked by an historically un-French willingness to develop varieties from other horizons. The unique soils on the Montandy plateau outside Béziers are red, chalky and acidic with traces of iron. This combined with the classic Mediterranean climate, make the area an ideal home for Malbec The nose is intense with concentrated red berry aromas mixed with hints of springtime flowers. The expressive palate is bursting with gorgeous, ripe fruit followed by a bright, tangy finish. Pair with Mediterranean cuisine like fish with Provençal sauce and seafood paella or try with grilled chicken and fish. Also delightful as an aperitif.

Thistledown
An absolutely pitch-perfect old vine Grenache from McLaren Vale from the top team at Thistledown. Beautiful, lifted and perfumed fruit with some high-toned herbal notes from the inclusion of 30% whole-bunch. On the palate this little Devil shows utter, glorious drinkability that comes from serious, but hands off - with nothing forced - top, top winemaking. The wine has the characteristic McLaren Vale perfume and spice with a beguiling texture and perfume that unfolds, layer by layer. This delicately hued red is very elegant with vibrant wild strawberry, spice and silky texture. Outstanding. An utter bargain and a dream of a drink. 10/10. Matthew Jukes Best 100 Australian Wines Report, of the 2022 vintage 'This year, the wine that stood out for me was one of the less expensive wines in his portfolio, but I wouldn’t have known this unless a price tag was stuck on the bottle....I happen to think 2022 Thorny Devil is the finest value red wine Giles has made since he set out on his odyssey some 13 years ago".

Sichel
A blend of Cognac and juice from red grape varieties, aged for five years in oak casks. A fruity, full-flavoured aperitif to be enjoyed well chilled. Château d'Orignac has won accolades in France and throughout the world. It is made from two-thirds grape must (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) with one-third Cognac and takes almost 10 years to produce, which results in an intense, complex nose of peaches, apricots, honey, almonds and Cognac and an unforgettably smooth texture on the palate.

Roger Sabon
Serious "baby Chateauneuf Blanc" from the opposing side of the Rhone, 6 miles from Chateauneuf. Creamy, almost waxy, broad, dense, intense, aromatic, spiced. Almond and toast, apricot and lilies. Quite superb food wine with rich creamy sauces, roast birds, mushrooms, fish and chips. Way out of its class, a jewel and bargain from top Chateauneuf grower Sabon. Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette. Minimal sulphur, cool co-ferment, unfined, vines up to 40 years old, declassified vineyard.
