Domaine Hugo
Botley's Farm Col Fondo 2020

Maupertuis

Black Mountain
Col Fondo White NV

Bright, zippy English sparkler with mouth-watering acidity and fresh, green notes of elderflower and orchard fruits. As its name suggests, the wine is made in the Italian 'col fondo' style - meaning to leave the sediment from the fermentation in the bottle, giving the wine texture and haze. Find out more.

  • Region Turnastone, Herefordshire, England
  • Grapes Pinot Meunier, Solaris & Siegerrebe
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Fabio Ferracane
Foddreé 2022

Hazy, col fondo Catarratto. Giving heady aromas of tinned tropical fruit and salty white grapefruit on the palate, despite the sandy opacity in the glass the wine is impressively clean and refreshing. The perlant, pinprick bubbles make this the perfect aperitivo wine. Find out more.

  • Region Marsala, Sicily, Italy
  • Grapes Catarratto
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Landron-Chartier
Natürlich 2022

A change of style for this popular pet-nat - big losses in the Loire mean that this year Naturlich is made with mainly Semillon from Bergerac in the south. Find out more.

  • Region Nantes, Loire, France
  • Grapes Folle Blanche, Gamay & Pinot Noir
  • Vineyard Organic

Cà de Noci
Sottobosco 2022

We've often likened this incredible Lambrusco-style sparkling red to a liquid summer pudding; there is the tart attack of forest fruits, but offset by a creamy, lactic element. As you'd hope from this style, the tannins grip keenly and there is an iron-y, sanguine quality to the dark wine. Find out more.

  • Region Quattro Castella, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
  • Grapes Lambrusco di Montericco, Malbo Gentile, Lambrusco Grasparossa & Sgavetta
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Christophe Lindenlaub
Qui S'y Cogne 2022

A pet-nat take on classic Crémant d’Alsace! Incredibly refreshing with plenty of zingy citrus fruits sitting alongside a bright line of acidity. One that is best enjoyed straight out of the ice bucket on those sunny afternoons. Find out more.

  • Region Dorlisheim, Alsace, France
  • Grapes Pinot Gris & Auxerrois
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
