'Festive Essentials' Created with simplicity and ease in mind, but not at the expense of quality. A versatile set of bottles to unleash at any given moment. Find out more.
Lithe and lean this year and heavy on the yellow citrus, there is the raw attack of freshly squeezed lemon with something more oily and pithy to soften the edges. As ever, this is infused with their trademark herbal bay laurel character and the low finished alcohol lends a tonic quality. Find out more.

A brand new cuvée from the young vines of Grenache Blanc that Meryl and Geraldine have been experimenting with for the last couple of years. Belying the youth of the vineyard, here we see some impressive concentration making for one of their more robust white wines. Find out more.

Another delightful new experimental La Vrille cuvée that is sure to pique the interest of those who fell for the bright, juicy charms of Canon d'Achille. Similarly, this is a fluid, weightless red that ripples with pure fruit and works best served from the ice bucket. Find out more.

GrapesGrenache & Syrah
VineyardOrganic
CellarFermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
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.
