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.

Opening a bottle of Bouju is always an occasion and if you've followed this shapeshifting wine over the years. A wine we always feel punches well above its weight in terms of price. Always surprising, always a banger. One for the curious minds.  Find out more.

Val's lightest, juiciest red - lightness and purity of fruit is the goal here. Bountiful cherry and raspberry fruits with a confected quality and anise-like spices. A fluid wine with pronounced luminosity and just so much fun to drink - 'the grenadine of the estate' as Val likes to call it. Find out more.

Sensationally good golden blush pet-nat. Tart red strawberry and crunchy russet apple bound with a beautifully racy acidity from these young vines, to mouthwatering effect. Disgorged twice by hand over 18 months sur latte, the wine is fresh, clean and with a gentle savoury depth from the lees contact. Find out more.

Deep, lip-smacking blackcurrant and peppery spice rules from the thicker-skinned grapes, with the Cab Franc contributing some plush sheen and herbal fragrance. Showing a bit more structure than previous vintages, this hits somewhere between the breeziness of Les Vacances and the heft of Les Quilles de Joie. Find out more.

A welcome return of Axel Prüfer’s ‘Un Pas de Côte’. After using various blends over the years for this cuvée, the 2022 vintage is made with 100% Grenache Noir Find out more.

A plush, glossy wine with bright aromas of cherry and raspberry, both fresh and confected, over a compact body of these gateaux-like fruits, with a subtle framboise-esque almond note hovering just out of shot. A judicious balance of grip and crunch to the finish keeps things feeling clear-cut and pure, working its magic most effectively when served with a brisk chill. Find out more.

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.

An even split of Carignan, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. The latter feels high in the mix in the aromas, giving lovely deeps fruits, cinnamon spice and coffee grounds. The super-supple mouthfeel leads into a grippy, dry finish, seasoned with wild herbs. So typically Val in its vibrant fruit character, further impressing with its sleek, silky texture. Find out more.

Stunning blend of mainly Grenache with 10% Syrah. From the off, the colour in the glass pulls you in - a brick-tinged sunset ruby, crystalline and inviting. Perhaps the ultimate display of Fred's lightness of touch, the wine blends a lifted, complex perfume, with a confounding depth of structure that belies its appearance. Find out more.

A fabulously floaty infusion-style wine, showing the diminished tannic structure, pure fruit character and openness of aroma that can be achieved with this restrained method. Fragrant with fresh strawberries and dusty anise, the body of the wine is rounded and gravity-defying, the lightly confected red fruits and spices taking on a pillowy, compote-like quality with a dust of herby liquorice. Find out more.

Aromas have an inviting raspberry ripple quality that draws you in to sumptuous, concentrated fruit and lively, frothy bubbles. The big trademark VDC fruits are loaded to the front, in the finish tailing into almond cherrystones and amaro herbs. A fabulous new release from Val that is as equally at ease lighting up the party as it is to commence proceedings at the dinner table - bravo! Find out more.

Fred's entry-point cuvée, blending a roughly even split of almost every grape grown in the domaine, red and white, brought together in a direct-press. The resulting wine is a striking translucent ruby, sitting in that pale red, deep rosé intersection - be sure to drink this one chilled. Find out more.

Sumptuous black cherry fruit and spice jostle together with grippy, dialled-back tannins. A playful, well-rounded bouncing ball of a wine with bags of charm. Reflecting the vintage it shows some real heat this time, but Val has kept the balance perfectly and it is as easy-drinking as ever. Find out more.

An even lighter maceration that usual to counter a hot, dry vintage. Supple, elegant blend of 70 year old Mourvèdre and Grenache, fermented and aged in amphora and barrels. Seriously limited quantities on this one this year. Find out more.

Quartet is a Mourvèdre & Grenache blend, nimble and lithe, as is the Mataburro way. Despite the baking heat of the location it's got that lovely balance of deep, ripe fruit flavours whilst being simultaneously light on its feet and brimming with energy. Find out more.

On the nose this sweet red wine bursts with clear cut cherry, raspberry blackberries with just a hint of menthol and spice adding a layer of complexity. Luscious but light on its feet with a digeste quality, this has very fine tannins and a savoury finish. Find out more.

The most boldly-structured of the Grange du Nord wines, Mitan introduces a wild-edged nose of Carignan to the Grenache and Cinsault, and brings a lightly vegetal, stemmy character from the whole bunches. Giving the most textbook notes of the varietals in its expression, there are forest fruits, blackcurrants and spice, with a tannic structure that feels woven into the wine. Find out more.

A wine that starts to move into the more structured, gastronomic realms, Gare du Nord once again uses the infusion technique but with a little more extraction, giving intensity and tannins that edge to the foreground. Blending a majority of Grenache with Cinsault and Syrah, there is more darkness and grip, spicy black fruits with aromas of cinnamon and capsicum. Feeling the influence of the stems a little more, the body balances trademark fluidity with structural punch. Find out more.

Gently extracted, the texture of the wine is wonderfully supple and fluid, with impressive purity of fruit. Highly digestible, the wine seems to diffuse at the edges, showing a satin-like softness, and airy quality that defies the southern heat. Find out more.
