Made in our West London winery, with organically grown grapes from Limoux, southern France, this delicious, classic wine perfectly reflects the fine characteristics of northern hemisphere pinot noir.
Mencia is a grape variety that flies under the radar, but time and time again delivers fresh and exciting wines that are also incredibly affordable. Jet black in the glass, this wine is brimming with flavours of wild plum and mountain herbs with a velvety finish. 97 Points Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2020. Mencía is a great food wine (or better yet, while you're cooking) but can also age well after a few years.
"Pale brilliant ruby. A hugely refreshing, light-bodied and cheerful Beaujolais that maintains a divine purity of red berry fruit. Soft, silky tannins, mouth-watering acidity, and the perfect amount of red cherry, cranberry and redcurrant concentration until the end. Situated in southern Beaujolais, the domaine dates back to the 1500s and manages its 100ha organically. All hand harvested, vinified without SO2, wines are not chaptalised or filtered, and indigenous yeast is used." Victoria Daskal, decanter.com, 92 pts
Made from Chianti Classico fruit, but labelled as plain Sangiovese; this is exceptional quality for the money.

From Régnié, Beaujolais' newest Cru, Julien Sunier delivers a vibrant, complex wine. Highlighted by notes of blackberries, plums, figs, and a hint of florals, this wine comes from 60-year-old vines rooted in rose granite sands.
In the sunlit hills of Lubéron, Maine and Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen create this enticing red. From high-altitude, limestone-rich soils, this blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah reflects the true essence of southern France. With notes of red and black fruits and a hint of spice, this wine showcases the best of both the land and the Burgundian expertise behind it.

Just south of Perugia, in the geographical heart of Italy, lies the DOC of Montefalco. It’s here where you’ll find some of the most delightful Italian wines. With just a splash of Sagrantino, this Sangiovese led blend has a deeper colour, more tannin, and fuller savoury flavours compared with its Tuscan cousins.
This old vine Gamay is a great example of a wine from esteemed Beaujolais producers Jean-Paul and Charly Thevenet. This can be enjoyed young or is a great addition to a cellar collection.
This isn’t just another Pinot Noir; it's a labour of love and arguably the most challenging wine to craft in the UK. Its delicately extracted and beautifully light. A brilliant summer red.
Chavy-Chouet's Pinot Noir, though modestly labeled as Bourgogne Rouge, hides an impressive secret. Its fruit is sourced from venerable 70-year-old vines located just beneath the Clos du Château de Pommard. This unassuming label belies the wine's prestigious origins. Renowned for his exceptional white wines from Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, winemaker Romaric Chavy brings his expertise to this comparatively rare red. The wine captivates with its fragrant red berry fruit and hints of earthy spice, all underpinned by superb structure and balance. It's an undiscovered gem offering remarkable value, showcasing the depth of talent behind Chavy-Chouet's winemaking.
Even if the ski season has (more or less) finished, there’s no reason not to enjoy this fruity, gamey and vibrant wine all year round. Mondeuse is an indigenous grape that will remind you of other cool grape varieties such as Gamay, Zweigelt or Schiopettino. Perfect for spring, the wine shows delicate notes of forest fruits - such as wild strawberries and raspberries – along with a hint of forest floor, held together with beautiful earthiness. Don’t hesitate to open it 30 minutes before pouring. You can serve it slightly chilled and it’ll go perfectly with a cheese and charcuterie style of dinner (or tartiflette, of course…). For my top suggestion, though, I think this Mondeuse would be perfect with a traditional “pate en croute” or game pie. Quite an undertaking to make at home but if you fancy having a go, look at the recipe from Jason Atherton, who serves it one of his best restaurants with different types of mustard and pickle - and also with fresh pink radish. A great combination of richness in the pie and acidity in the pickles to balance with the wine…just delightful.
