Natural Wine For Spring

Style – Drink Young

Now that Summer is upon us, despite what feels like endless rain, we thought it time to put together a selection of natural wines fit for the Season. Light, bright, fresh, aromatic, heady and sensual: these are the bottles we reach for at this time of year.

Baby Bandito 'Chin Up' 2022

Light, airy Cinsault that justifies the descriptive tag of 'juice', clocking in at a happily gluggable 11.5%. Fruit is juicy red apple with mouth-watering tart cherry and the tannins are almost non-existent. Fun! Find out more.

Weingut Brand
Wilder Satz Pur 2022

A bracingly zippy, palate-cleansing wine that buzzes with tart white grapefruit citrus and softens into the creamy peaks of a lemon meringue pie. Anecdotally described as 'alcoholic lemonade for grown-ups' and for good reason! Find out more.

Quarticello
Despina 2022

A nourishing, ever-reliable sparkling wine of real generosity. Aromatic Malvasia keeps things zesty and floral - almost hoppy - on the nose, with lime and grapefruit citrus fruits aplenty. Incredibly easy-drinking Emilia fizz. Find out more.

Le Batossay
Ouech' Cousin 2021

Fabio Ferracane
Foddreé 2022

Hazy, col fondo Catarratto. Giving heady aromas of tinned tropical fruit and salty white grapefruit on the palate, despite the sandy opacity in the glass the wine is impressively clean and refreshing. The perlant, pinprick bubbles make this the perfect aperitivo wine. Find out more.

Litrozzo Rosso 2022

Every year Le Coste create three different Litrozzo wines - Rosso, Bianco & Rosato - which always time perfectly with the arrival of warmer weather.

Mikaël Bouges
La Roseur 2023

Simple, thirst-quenching rosé made from the same base wine as his La Bulle pet-nat, a direct press of Gamay and Côt. It's a straightforward vinification, similarly completed in steel only and then bottled young. The style is less fruit-forward, more lean and savoury - little red fruits sit below a more prominent saline minerality. With a good chill this is one of those no-brainer pours for those moments when more is more. Find out more.

  • Region Touraine, Loire, France
  • Grapes Gamay & Côt
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites

Staffelter Hof
Magnus Riesling 2022

Pure, mineral, zesty Mosel Riesling with soaring acidity sitting nicely with green apple, lime zest, salinity and that unmistakable waft of kerosene lifting from the glass. Find out more.

  • Region Kröv, Mosel, Germany
  • Grapes Riesling
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, light filtration, unfined, additional sulphites
