Tim Webber and Monique Milton’s is a place of rare beauty and this wonderful maceration captures it perfectly. A blend of all the white grapes they grow of the farm, it is a wine with an uncanny sense of place that is guaranteed to bring rays of sunshine and joy to even the most dreary winter days.

Domi Mai 2019

From the volcanic hills of the Colli Eugenei, Marco Buratti makes pure, lively wines that always put a smile on our face. His take on Cabernet Sauvignon sees the grape at its most charming and playful, with soothing, savoury notes that make so much sense at this time of year.

LAMBERT SPIELMANN
Red Z’Epfig 2019
Alsace, France
One of the rising stars of Alsace, Lambert Spielmann’s wines capture the energy and enthusiasm with which he goes about his work. We fell in love with this blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from the very beginning and it is a perfect introduction to his work. Delicate, fragrant and a real joy to drink, few wines are as nourishing as this.

DOMAINE SAUVETERRE
Noire de Creuse Noir 2018
Burgundy, France
Jérôme Guichard is a humble vigneron who makes some incredible wines and this is one of the very best. A dark, brooding and incredibly complex Gamay from the basalt-lined slopes of Leynes, this screams for some game or a nice joint of beef.
