A tumble of fresh cut apples and pears with some lovely chamomile lift to the aromatics. Floral, fresh and pure fruited to have you eating up bowls of broccoli pasta with even more joy.

Ca'Rugate San Michele Soave Classico 2023

Colour and fruit in abundance for plenty of depth and a lot of super bright squishy berries that are kept savoury with just a pinch of aniseed-like spice. Serve it cool, not cold for the best of times.

David Morgan Quiet Wine Morgan Syrah 2023

Bright and crunchy with cherry pips, cranberry and drops of boysenberry that shine through along with some trademark Sangiovese dusty tannin, and crispy acidity

Carlotta Sangiovese 2023

David Morgan Quiet Wines Bianco Floreale 2024

Merlot with some Cab. Franc, a little Cab. Sauv. and Petit Verdot added for good measure. Very easy drinking Bordeaux blend that’s 10% cheaper by the case. Shows green tobacco, cranberries and raspy tannins.

Château Cazette Bordeaux 2022

Love it. Plump and juicy with salted plum before being tempered with a dusting of dried herbs thanks to the Cab Franc. We're calling it Autumn in a glass so play your favourite rendition of Autumn Leaves – Nat King Cole maybe?

Timothée Delalle La Burette Rouge 2022

Deliciously fresh Italian Bianco. Like every Abruzzese, there’s a savoury amount of bitterness here, plus some chamomile and a lemon pith for approachability and charm. Perfect with salty beef skewers and radicchio.

La Valentina Trebbiano 2023

Lunaria Charisma Trebbiano 2022

Slovenian wines are things of beauty. Old school and discrete, they were kept a secret so long and now everyone who’s ever listened to Karen O or some band from Manchester seems obsessed. Must be the flowy textures and great value.

Giocato Pinot Grigio 2021

Soft fruits and a really broad appeal. Like a trip to Sicily, this would suit 99% of people so you should gift it if you're feeling generous, and goes well with light, al olio pastas, and sardines on toast.

Caruso & Minini Frappo Rosé 2022

Sooty tannins with dark cherry and bitter amaro plus some bergamot and liquorice. Mayhem and innocence all at once delivered with a silky palette that embodies Sicily. Beauty in abundance.

Caruso & Minini Frapello Frappato Blend 2022

Snap of red apple and blackcurrant with some twiggy tannin grip but nothing like a traditional Nebbiolo. This is light and gluggable. Drink slightly chilled with just about anything, anywhere and with anyone!

Poderi Cellario Libertà Nebbiolo 2022

Zig Zag Rd Folk Nouveau Sangiovese 2023

Mostly Riesling with some Grigio and a little less Gewürtz. This is all high-flung acidity and a salty edge. Includes under ripe apricot and some moreish dried orchard fruit. Boogie appropriate, yes – but please pace yourself.

Konpira Maru Pan Opticon Riesling 2024

GUM Syrah 2024

Jasnières is the most northerly of the AOC’s in the Loire Valley. This is razor sharp and alive with savoury minerals – think flint and some wet stone, before a lift of chamomile and raw honey come through. An amazing entry into Chenin for Chardonnay and Gris lovers.

Pascal Janvier Jasnières Chenin Blanc 2020

Fleshy strawberries and cherries with some dusky, chalky depth. Fruit was held in concrete and there was no fining or filtering, this is perfect for a LoFi devotee or a red-lover who’s a bit adventurous.

Antonio Camillo Mediterraneo Rosso 2023

An easy-drinking Soave if there ever was one. This brings all the weighty richness of blossoming orchard fruits, but keeps things fresh with a minerally edge that adds an element of bouncy refreshment to every sip.

Coffele Castel Cerino Soave Classico 2023

Cabernet Franc with a splash of early-picked Chenin Blanc. It’s nice when worlds collide for flavour-filled perfection that’s full of boysenberry and mulberry. This will do perfectly with bites of carne asada and appreciated, humorous points.

Yayoi Ferot Cab Franc Chilled Red 2024

Barbera, Freisa and Grignolino combine for a velvety, savoury expression. Full of violets and crunchy with ripe cherries. This practically dials your local pizza joint for you, all you need to do is order, pour and enjoy the combination.
