The 2018 vintage is our third from Manni Nossing and this is another masterclass in power and finesse. There are only 25ha of Kerner, a cross between Riesling and Schiava Grosso in Italy and Mann...(more info)

Young Damien Martin is making the smartest wines of his life. This Saint Veran is one of the best values you can find in Burgundy. The 2018 has a lovely suppleness, an indulgent weight that you'd...(more info)

Layne Montgomery is a charming, colourful character and a very talented winemaker. He sources the grapes for this top cuvée from the historic Soucie vineyard. Here he works 3 acres of the...(more info)

An amazing, proper old vine Zin from one of our favourite Americans. These vines were planted by 'Uncle Rolland' in 1930. Richly layered with blueberry, blackberry and fragrant plum, all undercut...(more info)

We destem and crush the grüner and do a 24 hour cold soak on the skins with some stem inclusion to increase aromatics. After a gentle pressing we then ferment 30% of the juice in acacia barr...(more info)

Nose of enticing fruit with a hint of smoke. Defined ripe green fruit. Acidity is less obvious - the juice is soft and encompassing. Some broadness and power. A lovely way to kick off a long list...(more info)

Lydie's 2018 has immediate impact with good weight on the palate. The fruit is really quite intense. It is a Montagny with the volume turned up! This is gently spicy with some good tropical notes...(more info)

Another great effort. It was a long dry summer in 2018 and although there is a lot of ripe stone fruit aromas & flavours. This wine has a wonderful elegance and minerality to it that is empha...(more info)

In such a warm vintage the Boudin family have done a great job here presenting a fresh and nicely clipped Chablis. As ever their trademark soft fruit and weight is in there but delivered brightly...(more info)

More floral, an almost rosé-style nose. Immediatley there is more fruit here than the 2015 which was firmer and more terroir led. But there is good intensity too. Not sappy but good drive...(more info)

A blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with about 10% Chardonnay to give a dash of elegance. Considerably better than some widely available cheap Grandes Marques, and very consistent in quality...(more info)

showing very well, revealing an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries and cassis mingled with spices, violets and peonies. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, enveloping and layered, with fine...(more info)

A very fresh and lively Lirac with ripe red plums and raspberries. Some boysenberries, too. The palate has such smooth and lively tannins and delivers a bright, juicy impression. From organically...(more info)

Great aromatics from the start on the Cuvee Ghany, cracked black pepper, dark cherry and plum fruit. The palate is richly textured with fleshy plum fruit, some lovely cooked meat notes, undergrow...(more info)

Intense black fruit with a touch of bitterness on the palate, and simple spices that prevent this being too one-dimensional

This was an absolute joy and stood out in quite a long line up of options at a recent tasting. Real freshness and purity, elegant with great delivery of plum and cassis fruit, complex tobacco and...(more info)

This classic Gevrey is drinking well now with a fine red and black fruit, almost floral nose, and supple silk-velvet feel in the mouth and a nice combination of volume, elegance and freshness.

Very harmonious nose with a touch of cherry-stone ('Burlat cherry stone', says Virgile, showing how the French just know more about varieties of fruit and veg than anyone), and very fine tannins...(more info)

From Petits Puits. Mostly on hard limestone - 'calcaire d'entroques'. Really quite expressive, the limestone seems to reflect a brightness of tone in the fruit, a good level of richness and a cer...(more info)

With a third of this coming from the Pillots 1er Cru sites this 'Village' wine delivers really sophisticated pleasure at this level. Juicily expressive, intense and with decent weight - yet so we...(more info)

Lap up this spicy and structured organic 2018. Bursting with black raspberry and redcurrant, it’s tailor-made for honey-baked ham.

From vineyards high above the village of Arboras, where the heat of the Mediterranean meets the cooler heights of the Plateau de Larzac. Mostly Grenache (with some Cinsault and just a touch of Sy...(more info)

When tasted at our Italian Portfolio tasting back in February, this very much felt like slipping on a pair of much loved and really comfortable shoes. The recognition of a style and a familiarity...(more info)

The 2017 Bolgheri Rosso is a rich, explosive wine that embodies all of the natural richness and opulence of the year. Black cherry, bittersweet chocolate, plum, mocha, licorice, spice, leather an...(more info)

The Fuligni 2014 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine. To my mind, it represents one of the best interpretations you will find from this difficult vintage that caused so much unease. The Fu...(more info)

Amazingly fragrant spices, sage, star anise, black Cherry and black berry, cardamom? A wild fruit feel. Mouthfilling with bright acid drive, richly textured black fruits, spice, earthy, balsamic...(more info)

Nicely scented cherry, mint, earth, damson and touch of tobacco. Lovely glossy mouthfeel, really fine rich tannins, great acid backbone, lots of red fruits, then mocha, tobacco and earth.

The 2016 Mimmo is another super-expressive and wonderfully inviting wine in this range. Dark cherry, mint, pine, licorice and dried herbs infuse the 2016 with striking aromatic nuance to play off...(more info)

Before being reclaimed from the sea in the 1950s the 'Paglie di Battifarano' was damp marshland - but now is the heart of the family's white wine vineyards. This pure Greco is fantastic. Brightly...(more info)

2018 was a warm summer here and it shows in many of the whites we have tasted - which makes the bright focus of Leo's wine all the more impressive. He feels this is his best vintage since 2006. I...(more info)

Lovely biscuity, ripe fruit nose with citrus and yellow plum notes. On the palate the wine is generous with plenty of ripe fruit, touch creamy, waft of fresh bread, then a lovely mouthwatering ac...(more info)

Definitely 'Syrah' rather than Shiraz in style terms and very Yarra, cool and taut with generous juicy dark fruit, lots of volume and a silky feel, all with an undercurrent of tension and energy...(more info)

Effusively declared by Tongue in Groove MD Angela Clifford as 'probably the best Riesling we've ever made'. Drier than the 2013 vintage with only 6 g/l residual sugar, this a refined vintage of t...(more info)

This is a touch more full bodied than the Latitude, even though it is also 100% Chardonnay. There are some more evolved notes yet this remains very elegant and long. Chiselled but with softer edg...(more info)

From the Grand Cru vineyards of Chouilly, this entirely Chardonnay champagne has pale colour, smooth weight and fresh flavour, with remarkable clean length and a zesty finish. A really exciting q...(more info)

All from Grand Cru vineyards of Bouzy, two-thirds Pinot and one third Chardonnay, full style with balance and brightness to support the rich flavour. Rapidly becoming our best selling Champagne,...(more info)

Wow. Every sip here is a thrill. The Latitude is a very dry blend of 100% Chardonnay from Vertus (this is in fact an extra-brut), elegant and pure flavours, making for an interesting contrast to...(more info)

Nicely scented cherry, mint, earth, damson and touch of tobacco. Lovely glossy mouthfeel, really fine rich tannins, great acid backbone, lots of red fruits, then mocha, tobacco and earth.

Fresh ripe Pinot nose with some richness, and the palate has weight and a caressing silk feel. The finish is warmly ripe, staying taut (15% whole bunch fermentation). Really excellent Pinot.

Great aromatics from the start on the Cuvee Ghany, cracked black pepper, dark cherry and plum fruit. The palate is richly textured with fleshy plum fruit, some lovely cooked meat notes, undergrow...(more info)

Beautiful light brick red colour and a pleasingly delicate shape. Lovely spicy, intense character, cherry and warm strawberries mingle with herbs and dark cherry notes. Light on its feet, but not...(more info)

One of the best pink champagnes available. Lively and fruity, with an intensity of wine flavour which will enthuse any red wine drinker.

Tawny port can be served slightly chilled and is a great aperitif or digestif with cheese, or even Christmas pudding. This is exceptional, with a dry, nutty finish.

Sipsmith London Cup is a sublimely sippable punch crafted from their award-winning London Dry Gin, infused with Earl Grey tea, borage, lemon verbena and a host of other botanicals.

From sand and gravel soils this pure Cabernet Franc is superb. Loaded with crunchy dark berries and peppy red juice but there is a sheen of lovely polished black fruit too, lifted by spice and an...(more info)

This fabulously inviting, sparkling red bursts all the myths about Lambrusco by being dry and joyously drinkable. Grown organically on clay and limestone soils the results are fantastic. Fresh br...(more info)

A "multi-vintage" rather than a non-vintage, this finely balanced cuvée is always a lovely combination of development and freshness. Fantastic value when compared to the majority...(more info)

Bright fresh and zippy with rich citrus, peach and white flowers, palate has nice intensity with Apple, lemon and peach fruit, crisp and lively, decent mousse, good length.

The best Fino on the market, single vineyard (Macharnudo district) and barrel-fermented, a bit fuller bodied than most. A perfect accompaniment to smoked fish (and almost any other fish dish) as...(more info)
