Ramon Jané Baudili Negre 2021
Fun, tinto sister wine to the ever-popular Baudili blanco... imagine that wine, with all its peppery citrus Xarel-lo & Parellada, but with a dominating blend of Cabernet Sauvignon thrown into the mix and a light, refreshing spritz. Unconventional?...

Ramon Jané Baudili 2021
Simple, easygoing white - the still version of Tinc Set, which comes from the same base wine. It’s a blend of Xarel-lo & Parellada that is cold-pressed and fermented in steel, which keeps the wine squeaky clean and very drinkable...

La Salada Pagès Content Blanc 2021
Toni's easy-going table white. Veering into orange territory here as the Macabeu is blended with around 20% Xarel-lo that has been macerated on the skins for 7 months. This makes the tannic influence subtle - more a nice bit of grip - meaning this is a...

La Salada Sota Els Ametllers 2021
Malvasia de Sitges is one of those obscure grapes that is very specific to a particular place; Sitges, just south of Barcelona. The grapes are foot-crushed and sit on their skins for ten days in clay tinajas - Spanish amphora. The resulting wine has...

Sistema Vinari Novetat Total 2021 LITRE
A sunkissed blend of young vines of Callet from Felantix and Manto Negro from Consell, along with a handful of other local varieties, planted over the island’s characteristic red clay soils. The grapes were mostly destemmed, with a small quantity...

Tuets Tot Blanc 2020
A little bit of everything going in here and a great introduction to this producer. This is made from white grapes from all of Albert’s plots, which are very lightly macerated on the skins. All completed in steel tanks for pristine freshness. It is...

Joan Rubió/Tiques Ancestral Xarel-lo 2019
Immaculate stuff as always from señor Rubio, who during his time at Recaredo became a master of sparkling wine. This is Xarel-lo given the ancestral treatment (think pet-nat), but unlike a lot of the more wild, turbid examples of this style, here...
£29.00 -
Celler Tuets Tot Rosat 2020
Just delicious - one of those all-in wines that blends a little bit of everything from all of Albert's different plots. A one-day maceration makes the wine a dark pink in the glass and aromas are open, spicy and vegetal. The red berry fruits have...

La Traviesa Tinto 2019
Here we have a bright, unashamedly spritzy tinto, made with 100% Tempranillo grown in the mountainous Alpujarras of Spain's south. The wine is made in only neutral vessels to preserve the quality of the fruit and has a very short maceration, giving light...

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...
£19.00 -
El Mozo Herrigoia Rioja 2020
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...
£14.25 -
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...
£28.50 -
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...
£23.00 -
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...

Purulio Jaral 2016
Torcuato Huertas has just 3 hectares on which he grows a staggering 21 varieties of grape. Located on the north side of the Sierra Nevada he has two plots of land, one at 900m and the other at 1050m above sea level. The climate here is continental, with...

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...
£21.00 -
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...
£20.00 -
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...
£31.00 -
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...
