2023 ‘Amfora’ Orange Wine, Villa Noria
£2295Add to BasketAn aromatic orange wine with delicate floral notes of rose, quince and apple. The palate is fresh, fruity and harmonious, finishing with a little grip, leaving an impression of pleasant tension.
The grapes for the Amfòra cuvée come from vineyards between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountainous foothills. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm, dry summers and relatively mild winters, offers the vines excellent conditions in which to flourish. The high number of sunshine hours results in wines that are powerful, rich and aromatic, but also fresh due to the tempering effects of the Mediterranean Sea. The soils are made up mostly of clay-limestone and basaltic soil; the latter is a volcanic soil formed from ancient lava, which contains high proportions of iron and imparts a distinctive minerality to the wine. The vineyard is certified organic and HVE Level 3 certified for sustainability. The vines are surrounded by hedges to protect them from pesticide treatments in the neighbouring fields and also to provide a refuge for the wildlife, enhancing biodiversity. Harvested in the cool of the night to retain freshness and at high ripeness levels to avoid any green flavours or bitterness.

2013 Pinot Gris Reserve Personnelle, Trimbach – Magnum
£8000Add to BasketThis is Pinot Gris at its most sophisticated, a wine that whispers rather than shouts, yet carries astonishing depth and presence. The 2013 Réserve Personnelle unfolds in layers of ripe pear, quince and mirabelle, laced with honeycomb, smoke and a gentle savoury edge. On the palate, it’s textural and full-bodied, but perfectly poised with rich fruit met by clean acidity and that signature Trimbach dryness that keeps everything in taut, elegant balance. Time in magnum has added even greater harmony, rounding the edges into something luxuriously smooth and endlessly drinkable.
For when: dinner calls for quiet brilliance rather than loud applause.
Pairs with: roast pork belly, wild mushrooms, or creamy seafood dishes.
If this wine were: a mood, it’d be an autumn evening in cashmere – warm, golden and utterly at ease.Founded in 1626, Maison Trimbach has defined the classical style of Alsace for nearly four centuries. Based in Ribeauvillé, the family’s philosophy revolves around purity, precision, and a bone-dry finish that allows terroir to speak clearly. The Réserve Personnelle cuvées represent the estate’s finest parcels, harvested late for concentration yet vinified dry for elegance. The 2013 vintage, a cooler and more structured year, plays beautifully to Trimbach’s strengths, yielding a Pinot Gris of remarkable energy and age-worthiness, now showing its full maturity in magnum form.
