Rare Bottles

Style – Fruit Bombs

Small scale producers with low yields and those sought after bottles with a cult following make some wines hard to come by. Here you'll find those that we've manged to bag tiny allocations of.

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.

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.

  • Region Quintenas, Ardèche, France
  • Grapes Syrah, Viognier & Chardonnay
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Mataburro
Totem 2022

An even lighter maceration that usual to counter a hot, dry vintage. Supple, elegant blend of 70 year old Mourvèdre and Grenache, fermented and aged in amphora and barrels. Seriously limited quantities on this one this year. Find out more.

  • Region Perpignan, Roussillon, France
  • Grapes Mourvèdre & Grenache
