Bbirbiciù
Brasì 2022

The colour of a brick-tinged Nebbiolo in the glass, this singular red/white blend of Catarratto and Pignatello really captures the essence of this far-flung volcanic island. Packed full of dusty black fruit, floral cherry blossom, exotic spices and the twang of salinity that the Sirocco wind brings in on the breeze. Find out more.

Bbirbiciù
Cagnolo 2022

A tiny, experimental bottling from just a couple of amphora, Cagnolo is Davide's latest addition to the Bbirbiciù range. From a small planting of Nero d'Avola and Merlot, two grapes that are not as common on the island, the wine nevertheless oozes the Mediterranean charm of Sicily itself. 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.

Clarete Sur 2021

Stunning lightness of touch in this co-fermentation of red & white grapes grown on volcanic ash soils. This blend of Listan Blanco, Negramoll, and Listan Negro sees some very short skin contact and is aged in old barrels. Less than 900 bottles produced! Find out more.

Domaine de l'Octavin
Corvée de Trou Trou 2020

A stunning example of this highly Jura-specific red grape. The wine gives off the most wonderfully exotic cinnamon and toasted peppercorn aromas, which float above a delicate, silky body of red cherry and forest berry fruits. Truly singular stuff and from a lauded cult producer with a deft, gentle hand. Find out more.

Patrick Bouju & Justine Loiseau
Ergastoline 2020

Made using Bergeron, a highly obscure strain of Roussanne that is found in the alpine region of Savoie. Macerated on the skins and aged in barrel, it is is ripe and exotic on the nose, with dry tea-like tannins. Incredibly delicate, alluring and one of Bouju's harder to track down cuvées.

LBL 2022 MAGNUM

The wine sees two full years ageing in old oak barrels, imparting a gorgeous supple elegance, with passionfruit, salt crystals and white grapefruit hanging together in harmonious balance.

Fabrice Dodane
Le Dos d'Chat 2021

This lesser-spotted Riesling is a wine from the négoce project of one Fabrice Dodane, who you may know better for his work at the lauded Domaine de Saint Pierre. Everything you'd expect from a high-quality expression of the grape; high levels of mouth-watering acidity with a raw citrus quality, smoky lime and nectarine with that hallmark waft of kerosine lifting from the glass.

Thomas Puéchavy
Les Vrilles 2022

Given time to open up, a nuanced meld of gently honeyed crisp green apple, lemon sorbet and matchstick reduction float from the glass. Less high-definition-angular than his longer-lived wines, again there is an appealing softness to the structure, with everything hanging in place with casual poise. Salty minerals underpin, and the acidity cuts neatly, with a faint twang of ginger in the long finish. 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.

Petite Nature
Sorcières 2022

This is resolutely a red wine, despite 50% of the grapes being white, such is the influence of the Syrah. The Chardonnay and Viognier keep things delightfully silky and fluid, but the red grape provides a huge aromatic lift, that somehow seems to carry itself through into the palate, which is dense with dark blackcurrant fruits and juicy, saline black olive.
