Grape – Merlot

Fabio Ferracane
Camaleonte 2022

A breezy, 'all-in' kinda wine that serves as an approximation of Fabio's overall style. Named after the chameleon as the blend changes every year - it is a mix of everything to be found in the cellar. Fruity, fun and delicious, with unmistakable notes of salty red cherries, some great texture from the skin-contact elements and it just goes down so so easily. Sicilian sunshine from start to finish.

Le Clos des Jarres
Insouciance 2020

This wine has been specifically created by Vivien to go against expectations of a wine from the Minervois, and to put varietals that aren't favoured by the norms of the region in the spotlight, showing what is possible. An altogether lighter, fresher and (of course!) insouciant affair. Find out more.

Gazzetta

Lucy M.

Lucy M.
Vino Rosso 2020

A wine that serves as something of a snapshot of the 2020 vintage, topping up a blend of Pinot Noir and Merlot with a little of all Anton's other reds. As usual the wine is the antithesis of the sometimes jammy, overripe Aussie style. Savoury and bright, this wine has lots of edge. Find out more.
