Partida Creus MUZ Vermut Natural (1ltr)
Something to pour over ice with a citrus slice and slurp on before dinner - this is Partida's take on the classic Catalan vermut - it has a bit more sweetness than Italian vermouth so can be drunk neat with a slice of orange, although a splash of soda,...

Pedro Olivares Muscat Blanc d’Argila 2021
A very original Muscat wine, with lifted, aromatics and oily, concentrated volume in the mouth. The acidity is fair, very Mediterranean, but magnified with the rounded character of lees aging. Unctuous and very long on the palate. A great new addition...

El Mozo Herrigoia Rioja 2021
Very tasty, very youthful, very nicely priced Rioja from El Mozo, an organic grower in Rioja Alavesa. If you prefer your Rioja in the 'joven' style - that means fresher, fruit-driven and kept away from the oak barrels; this is the one...

Mendall Abeurador 2020
It's great to have some new wine from Laureano Serres back in the racks again. It was, after all, a glass of his nutty, vinous Macabeo in one of Barcelona's wine bars many moons ago that made us fall in love with the frenetic Catalan scene in the...

Comando G Mataborricos Tinto 2020
The lighter, juicier, companion wine to La Bruja de Rozas. The difference here being that some Cariñena is in the mix, the maceration is lighter leaving the wine a lovely translucent ruby colour, and the wine develops in clay tinaja for one year...

Comando G La Bruja de Rozas 2020
Absolutely solid Spanish red from old vines at high altitude in the Sierra de Gredos, just outside the raised plateau of Madrid. The G here standing not just for Gredos, but also for the eponymous Garnacha that is the focus of this project. Bruja...

Barranco Oscuro Varetúo 2019
Fresh, juicy Tempranillo from some of the highest altitude vines in all of Europe, 1300m up above the clouds at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, not far outside Granada. It’s no surprise that this means a Tempranillo that is a world away from the hot...

Celler Tomàs Torres Al Tall Negre 2020
Mightily approachable Garnacha, made in a smooth, supple style. Crunchy red fruits up front, with just the right amount of spice. As the illustration on the label might suggest (as well as looking a bit like a 70s paperback edition of a Thomas Pynchon...

Recaredo Terrers Brut Nature Corpinnat 2017
A wine that easily disproves the notion that Cava can only be cheaply produced, everyday fizz. This is mature, complex Cava produced with a patience that we have not seen elsewhere! We actually shouldn't really use the word Cava as this is actually...

Costador Presa Romana 1905 2019
Presa Romana 1905 is a rich, concentrated and exotically spiced Macabeo from vines that are over 100 years old. The wine is fermented on its skins in clay amphora which lends a deep golden colour to the wine and gives a granular, tannic texture on the...

Ismael Gozalo La Banda del Argilico 2020
La Banda del Argilico comes from 2 different vineyards on sandy soil with clay bands. The wine rests just short of 6 months on its fine lees and everything is done in stainless steel. This is Verdejo light years apart from the more ubiquitous...

MicroBio Circustancial 2018
Each release of Circustancial, Verdejo averaging around 180 years old, is an exciting experiment. Taking the worst incidents of a vintage and transforming it into something beautiful. This could be picking fruit as late as November, to vinifying under...

Celler Tuets Tot Negre 2019
Lean, pristine and with some lovely powdery fruit aromas, this is a much more delicate expression of these two, often heavily-extracted red grapes. A brief maceration produces a delightful light to medium-bodied wine. Full of fresh green flavours...
£20.50 -
MicroBio Correcaminos 2020
From the 'younger' Verdejo vines of the estate - still around 140 years old. Whole bunch pressed and then spending 5 months in stainless steel on the lees. The grapes are incredibly ripe when harvested, giving the wine a beautiful golden colour. This...

Ameztoi Txakoli de Getaria Rosado 2020
An absolute essential for warmer months - Txakoli is the native 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 - here we have the pink rosado version...

Partida Creus SK Moscatel 2020
SK is fragrant Moscatel given the Partida treatment. The aromatics really draw you in - it's that tangerine blossom, lime leaf, jasmine sort of territory, which is nicely balanced by bitterness in the tailnote. Still with their trademark wild edges, but...

Mendall Espartal BP 2019

Jordi Llorens Blan d'Anzera 2019
This is a blend of mainly Macabeo, with about 10% Moscatel, providing that floral lift. It's only the purest free-run juice (meaning the grapes haven't even been pressed) that goes straight into clay amphora to ferment. It's a real treat, and a wine...
