Fabio Ferracane
Muffato Oxidative 2018

A callback to the old school Marsala of days gone by and a remarkable, completely natural phenomenon. Bone dry, the wine is a heady mix of all the complex flavours and textures that oxidation and flor-contact can bring. Fruits give way to woody hazelnut, toasted almond, turmeric and garam masala spice with crystals of salt, plus a little sweet vanilla from the barrel. Find out more.

Dame-Jeanne 2020

Stunning one-off Moelleux-style wine from the heatwave 2020 vintage. Five years in the making, the wine was in barrel for two years before being moved to glass demijohn for another three. A meagre 100 bottles were made. Find out more.
