Baby Bandito 'Chin Up' 2022

Light, airy Cinsault that justifies the descriptive tag of 'juice', clocking in at a happily gluggable 11.5%. Fruit is juicy red apple with mouth-watering tart cherry and the tannins are almost non-existent. Fun! Find out more.

Weingut Brand
Wilder Satz Pur 2022

Mikaël Bouges
Les Côts Hauts 2020

Inky Malbec (the eponymous Côt) that is much brighter and crunchier than most would expect of the grape. As always with Mikaël's wines, there is a noticeable mineral imprint; that hard-to-define aspect of wet stones or patio paving following rain on a hot day. Find out more.

Vini Rabasco
Cancelli Rosato 2022

Very much in the category of glouglou ‘juice’, this go-to rosato brings the party with ramped-up sour cherry and tart cranberry fruit, bound with a wiry acidity. Who knew that Montepulciano could be so much fun? Find out more.

Ameztoi
Txakoli de Getaria Blanco 2022

An absolute essential as we move into the warmer months - Txakoli is the native white wine of the Basque region of Spain and is in that lean, bone dry, spritzy style that is reminiscent of the more ubiquitous Portuguese Vinho Verde. This is the wine that you see being pouring from extravagant heights in the pintxos bars of San Sebastian - serve it ice cold alongside some little fried fishes and you're on the right track.

Fuente Guijarro
Método Clásico 2019

Método Clásico is Manuel and Sara’s answer to a Cava. They ferment a dry cider in stainless steel with juice from the first harvest of apples. Then the juice of sweeter later harvest fruit is added to provoke a second fermentation. Find out more.

Gran Cerdo
Rosado 2022

The Gran Cerdo wines have become ubiquitous staples over the years. Providing such great value and easy drinking it's not hard to see why. This rosado is mainly Tempranillo with a little Garnacha and a splash of some of the grapes that end up in the Blanco. Refreshing red strawberry fruits, with a candied quality, make this one a no-brainer for thirsty party drinkers. Find out more.

Mikaël Bouges
La Roseur 2023

Simple, thirst-quenching rosé made from the same base wine as his La Bulle pet-nat, a direct press of Gamay and Côt. It's a straightforward vinification, similarly completed in steel only and then bottled young. The style is less fruit-forward, more lean and savoury - little red fruits sit below a more prominent saline minerality. With a good chill this is one of those no-brainer pours for those moments when more is more. Find out more.

  • Region Touraine, Loire, France
  • Grapes Gamay & Côt
