Style – Aromatic + Textured

Here is a collection of past vintages of some of our favorites that we've been keeping aside. 

Marco de Bartoli
Vigna La Miccia Marsala Superiore Oro 2018

Real-deal Marsala from a producer widely regarded to be the master of the style. Forget what you think you know about this misunderstood sweet Western Sicilian wine - Bartoli makes exquisite Marsala true to the history of the region, a world away from the cheap mass-market concoctions that pervade.

Beck-Hartweg
Lieu-Dit Rittersberg 2019

Stunning field blend from the lieu-dit of Rittersberg. Something about the granite soils here gives the wine a sort of cut glass precision - the wine is fantastically crystalline. Pretty floral aromas evoke a stroll through a rose-filled glasshouse, along with something like peaches and cream garnished with wild herbs. Brilliant! Find out more.

François Saint-Lô
Bois Guyon 2019

Impressively refined Cabernet Franc from very old vines. A glossy texture and fine-grained tannins that can only be achieved with patient winemaking. Showing all the dark fruit and herbaceous qualities we love in this grape. Find out more.

Fabio Ferracane
Aggiara 2021

Next-level sister wine to Fabio's 'Macerato' cuvée with a more refined process. Here, an extended time in amphora has imprinted a whole new textural identity on that same herbal, pithy and deep maceration of Catarratto. There is the familiar eucalyptus and salt-tinged apricot stone fruit, but here the tannins feel filed-down and beautifully fine-grained from the contact with the clay vessel. Find out more.

  • Region Marsala, Sicily, Italy
  • Grapes Catarratto

Sam Vinciullo
Red/White 2019

Highly unconventional Margaret River stylings here with this descriptively-named red and white mix of Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz. In light, chillable red territory, here the red coulis fruits are elevated with herbaceous vim. Incomparable and all the better for it - if it tastes this good, why not? Find out more.

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.

Jean-Pierre Robinot
Camille 2018

The absolute upper echelon of our offering from the Robinot cellars. A remarkable wine, from a historic vineyard for Pineau d’Aunis where the plants are over a hundred years of age. A true vin de garde of rare depth and complexity, it possesses a tightrope balance and history tells us this will reward drinkers for decades to come. Find out more.
