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.

A rare planting makes for a unique expression of Syrah, it's potential to display dark, charry fruit here feels enhanced with the volcanic influence. A wide-open perfume floats above a slick, glossy body that is dense with juicy black olives and blackcurrant. Less granular in texture than the other wines using indigenous grapes, it shimmers long into the profoundly mineral finish. Find out more.

Marsanne from St Réméze in the southern Ardèche, made using whole bunches in carbonic maceration. This technique really draws out the broad, textural potential of the varietal - tannins have a delicate, dialled-back grippiness that neatly frames ripe southern flavours of hay, honey, saline stone fruit and a burst of pineapple. Find out more.

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.

Another Grenache-dominated cuvée, the remaining 10% being a mix of Clairette, Carignan, Syrah and Cinsault each in micro quantities to enhance the blend.

Fantastically pure single-vineyard Pinot Noir, with a glassy sort of tension that binds pretty red fruits, perfume and spice. Find out more.

Aromatically it is pure Syrah – briny black olive tapenade, peppery blackcurrant fruit – but on the palate the Viognier reveals itself in the more unexpected sensation of citrus peel, fennel, green olive and brings a silky fluidity. It is the harmony found between these two opposing dynamics in which the wine succeeds. Find out more.

An inviting Poulsard-pink in the glass, with layer upon layer of complexity – blood orange bitters, spice, rose petals and peach. A category-defying wine. Find out more.
