Cantine Petrosino Grillo 2023

A very well regarded bottle in Brunello with a proper structure and traditional style. If it's a super wine from Tuscany, does that make it a Super Tuscan? Maybe not, but it'll give you red cherry-skinned smiles after all sips and a lasting tannin. It's wine like these that made the Tuscan wine store owners upset when I went in and asked for Barolo.

La Magia Il Vispo Sangiovese 2022

Gilbert Picq Chablis 2022

This is another multi-generational banger that'll suit every family member at the lunch/dinner table, especially if the BBQs on and your best griller has the tongues. We love it for the chewy tannins and generosity of the fruit. It also just feels exactly like a McLaren Vale Grenache blend should, whilst still being original, and creative.

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2023

We're big fans of Wachau wines and these vines are grown on gneiss, mica, schist and loam so you get a little bit of all the soil intervention which helps make all the juicy vibrancy balanced.

Alzinger Federspiel Gruner Veltliner 2023

Hello from the Eden Valley, your slightly cooler, more elevated region bordering the Barossa for those playing along at home. Drinks like a summer evening, complete with cooling, minty tannin (breeze) and a velvety fruit warmth that's rich and inviting. Feels like a red to sit with at the park over a couple of chapters, or some nice conversation.

Barr Eden Dreams of Gold Shiraz 2023

Piron Beaujolais-Villages 2023

Pittnauer Pitti Konig Rose 2023

With a little decant Intrinsic settles and comes through bright with boysenberry, pomegranate and some cherry-depth. Owen Latta and his crew have done amazingly well, and made the most of trying weather conditions. This is one to cellar, or enjoy now and it’s punching well above its price point.

Eastern Peake Intrinsic Pinot Noir 2022

Grown on Tenerife’s volcanic soils at 1000m above sea level, the Listan Blanco bursts out of the glass with electric white peach and zingy citrus. It’s unique and delicious, and if you buy a bottle, our staff may invite themselves to your place so they can have some too, and the somm. at the restaurant you’re going to will be very impressed.

Envinate Benje Listan Blanco 2022

Scarpa Bric du Nota Nebbiolo d'Alba 2020

Full of lemony deliciousness and plenty of freshness. There’s a burst of moreish acidity, and some phenolic drive. Perfect, just as it is.

Nacre Vermentino 2022

One of our most reliably loved, southern Rhône producers. Each bottle makes dinner a little more chic and adds some earthy spice and a juicy handful of cranberries, blood plums, cherries, and blue fruits. It’s bold in flavour but kept sensible with tannin.

Pierre Amadieu Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2022

Soave’s had our number for years and this one finished with the savoury, fresh citrus pith we all love. Veneto is full of beauty, and the Le Mandolare vineyard where these grapes are grown, sits in a part of the alps where the land starts to kick up to the sky and the roads meander, surrounded by rows of vines.

Menini Le Mandolare Classico Garganega 2022

There are plenty of skin-contact tannins that are wrapped up in lovely citrus peels and smidges of lychee. After the initial fruits impresson, it gets savoury and salty before finishing with enough chew to convert red drinkers.

Wangolina Malvasia Istriana 2023

McLaren Vale Grenache that’s turned all the way up and pours with fanning tannins and pepper that comes kicking, but not screaming. There’s more though – like sweet cherry, sarsaparilla and some sage and green herb flavours.

Naked Run The Aldo Grenache 2021

Normally we use words like tension and long to describe a great, enduring aftertaste, but in this case, it’s all about the zing from all the grapefruit snap and acidity that keep everything together and tolling in tune.

Gioiello Old Hill Chardonnay 2023

Beautifully medium-bodied, it's silky, perfumed and flush with red plums, white pepper spice and expertly woven tannins. Outrageously delicious Tempranillo crying out for roast lamb with all the trimmings!
