'Lo Petit Fantet d’Hippolyte' Corbières Rouge 2022

Affectionately known a 'Tractor Wine' amongst our regulars, here we have an accessible, nicely balanced Corbières red that avoids being scorched and overdone in favour of ripe, toothsome red and black fruit. No oak, but still rich and bold. Find out more.

Testalonga
Baby Bandito 'Follow Your Dreams' 2022

A big bouncing ball of a Carignan - a world away from the heavier, more intense expressions you may link to the Languedoc or Priorat. It's all red berries like raspberry and cherry, with tart pomegranate and interesting herbaceous notes to boot. Find out more.

  • Region Bandits Kloof, Eendekuil & Piketberg, Swartland, South Africa
  • Grapes Carignan
  • Vineyard Uncertified Organic

Vins d'en Tom
Bota 2021

Bota hails from Tom's own single hectare parcel, right outside his house. Here the alluvial soils are more rocky and some of the vines were planted as far back as the late 30s, at the end of the Spanish civil war. Bristling with spice, it is a dark, sappy wine with a robust structure and some charming Catalan rusticity. Find out more.

  • Region Empordà, Catalonia, Spain
  • Grapes Carinyena, Garnatxa, Macabeu & Picapoll
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered and unfined, minimal additional sulphites

Mas Coutelou
Classe 2021

At the fresher end of the Syrah-spectrum, with plenty of opulent, lip-smacking fruit. Lots of dusty blackcurrant on the nose, then glossy and vibrant in the glass. Generous and toothsome, propped up by a solid tannic backbone. Find out more.

  • Region Puimisson, Languedoc, France
  • Grapes Syrah, Grenache & Carignan
  • Vineyard Biodynamic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Val de Combrès
La Lumière 2021

One of Val's deliciously light and juicy reds, in a style he refers to as 'glouglou plus' - meaning there is a wealth of explosive, pure fruit character, but not to the loss of structure in the wine. Sumptuous black cherry fruit and spice jostle together with very light grip from the dialled-back tannins. A playful, well-rounded bouncing ball of a wine with no shortage of charm. Best served chilled. Find out more.

  • Region Luberon, Southern Rhône, France
  • Grapes Carignan & Grenache

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Potion' 2021

A distinctly Mediterranean-leaning affair with this cuvée, made using Carignan harvested in Luberon. The name Potion came from the wine's tonic quality - it is so easy to drink and bursts with spicy, sun-kissed fruits. A compelling, lip-smacking red. Find out more.

  • Region Étables, Ardèche, France

Remi Poujol
Le Temps Fait Tout Rosé 2021

Delightfully more-ish Languedoc rosé made with a mix of red and white grapes. It has a lick of give-me-more raspberry balsamic to the acidity that ensures things are mouthwateringly compelling. A rosé of depth and intrigue that can happily be enjoyed all year round. Find out more.

  • Region Pezenas, Languedoc, France

  • Grapes Grenache & Carignan
