A bracingly zippy, palate-cleansing wine that buzzes with tart white grapefruit citrus and softens into the creamy peaks of a lemon meringue pie. A real zinger! Find out more.

Apricot and quince stone fruits abound and the heady blossom aromas could be comparable to the Italian macerated Moscato or Malvasia wines we love so much. Find out more.

Big aromas evoke powdery parma violets and rosewater. On the palate this sleekly-textured wine gives a sort of juicy cherry cola character, albeit with a herbaceous, strawberry liquorice lilt. A playful fruit-bomb of a wine, like nothing we have tasted before! Find out more.

A delicate, weightless wine that seems to evaporate on the palate. The extraction is gentle and restrained, leaving the wine a pale gold with lifted aromas of floral blossom and white grapefruit pith, with just a hint of smokiness creeping through from the volcanic bedrock. Find out more.

Ripe and textural with layers of tropical fruits, spices and a bright mineral backbone from the limestone. This year the wine is dry and clear-cut, with smoky peaches, herby fennel, aniseed and zesty citrus oils coaxed out by the southern heat. A nourishing country wine with plenty of Mazel soul.

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.

Pur Breton is in many ways Olivier's emblematic cuvée. Its name, an indirect way of stating '100% Cabernet Franc' where it is not permitted to be said, a source of consternation for the Anjou appellation and exemplar of the spirit of its maker. Find out more.

A balance of old-school rusticity with a dose of juicy, supple cherry fruit and gently lifted aromas of rose. It's a wine with no shortage of charm and is a world away from the more heavily tannic reds associated with this part of Italy. 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.

Bright, fluid Grenache, with lifted aromatics of dusty redcurrant, capsicum spice and strawberry liquorice. There is something distinctly Gamay-esque at play here; fruit-forward, flora, but with those dusty dry spices and herbal tones that make it so very Ardèche. Find out more.

The super-fine bubbles are pinprick but persistent, buoying the gummy strawberry fruits of the Syrah on a little cushion of air. The addition of the white grape creates a lovely brick-tinged, amber-blush colour in the glass, and carries through into spicy, textural stone fruits. 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 Grenache and Cinsault bring their particular brand of spice, taking things into a herbal direction in the finish, with pleasing bitters to cut the palate and balance out the abundance of gummy fruit. Find out more.
