Fumé Sauvignons are generally softer and have a little more oak. This follows that style with some lovely refinement. Subtle on the nose before a full and refreshing palate of grass, lime citrus and passionfruit – tastes like a picnic.

Mitchell Harris Fume Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Another reason to fall for Lambert. Get ready for briney olive tapenade, peppery meats, and a pliable tannin that never distracts you from all the blue fruits and boysenberry. A fantastic gifting wine and Shiraz for all if there ever was one.

Lambert Crudo Shiraz 2024

One of the best white Burgundy’s we’ve had in a long time! Most of the fruit is from Meursault, with some from surrounding communes where things are a little richer, but there’s a perfect amount of acidity, fruit and tannin. Pair with fancy cheese and one other person – at the most.

Matrot Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2022

Plump, juicy and round with good bright and fresh acidity washing through to amplify the purity. Gets 8-12 months in concrete to keep things expressive and savoury and punching well above its price for Beaujolais village.

Phillipe Viet Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2023

Full and rich but still showing plenty of floral elegance. Siblings, Pierro and Benedetta, use precise methods to ensure the best possible combination of concentration, acidity and ripe tannins. Brilliant, age-worthy.

Poggerino Chianti Classico 2022

A tumble of fresh cut apples and pears with some lovely chamomile lift to the aromatics. Floral, fresh and pure fruited to have you eating up bowls of broccoli pasta with even more joy.

Ca'Rugate San Michele Soave Classico 2023

Mother-daughter winemakers that have made something brilliant! Deliciously open and easy drinking with juicy purple violets and sweet cherries. Made with most Sangiovese, but a little Colorino, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo thrown in for balance and expression.

Galognano La Foresta Chianti Colli Senesi 2022

Who’d have thought… Sangiovese plus Merlot and Sagrantino can equal a Gamay-like wine. When it’s light and delicate thanks to a favourable growing season and the vines being at altitude. Unique and lovely.

Beulah Violetta Stesso Stesso Rosso 2023

Alla Costiera Bianco Costiera 2023

Great value Shiraz that plays all the blackberry, liquorice classics with elegance. There’s also trademark sage, black fruits and sweet spice – it’s traditional at it’s best. Sometimes you just wanna play The Stones and wear Levis.

Kaesler Reach For The Sky Shiraz 2021

A melange of 12 clones from 7 parcels within the same vineyard making for a complex Pinot with opaque aromatics. Flavours are rose and earthy with a little pepperberry and saline. Brilliant tonight, but will also age well if you’re patient.

Siren Wine High Priestess Pinot Noir 2022

Light and delicate. There’s a lot of subtlety and nuance here and everything runs pure thanks to most fruits being destemmed and only a week on skins. It’s chilled red with an undertone of earthiness that’s alive with strawberry and pomegranate.

Siren Wine The Empress Pinot Noir 2023

Crisp and crunchy rosé with plenty of white nectarine, peach and a slice of orange that’s finishes dry. Lay out the cheeseboard in whatever ordered or chaotic arrangement you're feeling, just make sure the Mini Mi Breban is chilled.

Mini Mi Breban Rose 2023

Fleshy ripe and melony with a slippery, slightly rich texture that oozes out of the bottle. Still fresh and elegant enough to go perfectly with falafel, tabouleh and even dolma. Gosh, we love dolma. Sounds like this chill day you’re having is going to get brilliant.

Amo Vino Gianco Grenache Blanc 2023

Rich with earthy fruits and soft with raisins on the edge, it all tastes as if pressed into leather. This’ll come into its own this winter, but with the weather being so… undecided, you won’t have to wait long for a cool night to enjoy it.

Luzador Los Andreses Tinto Grenache Tempranillo 2022

Grown on limestone and clay before 3 months on lees for a pillowy expression that’s full of florals and kept fresh with some nectarine notes and a little spice. Any excuse to drink Soave is a good one. Enjoy with one and a half bowls of pasta broccoli.

Mainente Pigno Soave Classico 2023

Colour and fruit in abundance for plenty of depth and a lot of super bright squishy berries that are kept savoury with just a pinch of aniseed-like spice. Serve it cool, not cold for the best of times.

David Morgan Quiet Wine Morgan Syrah 2023

A Sauvy B and Chardy blend that sees a short fermentation period and comes through with plenty of texture. The wine to bring when you don’t know the menu, or the vibe because it’s a little cuisine chameleon and great time unto itself.

David Morgan Quiet Wines Bianco Floreale 2024

We won’t shut up about David Morgan’s wines – despite the name. The guy’s got a lot of talent and we love his aesthetic and little quips. Of course, his wines are on point too, this Sauvy B. is linear and swaddled in herbs. Give it a good swirl for full enjoyment.

David Morgan Quiet Wine Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Torn sage, ripe mulberry and berries, here’s a full-blooded Shiraz, vibrant and plush with a friendly (juicy) side. Ticks all the Shiraz boxes without ever scaring anyone off – in other words, balanced.
