  2018 Riesling Schoenenbourg Grand Cru, Dopff Au Moulin

  £3750

  An elegant and expressive wine delivering notes of passion fruit, grapefruit and pineapple enveloped in a rich, full-bodied and harmonious palate. Candied citrus flavours and a zippy acidity lead to a long, dry finish.

  Schoenenbourg means ‘the beautiful hill’ and is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru classified vineyards in Alsace. Located north of Riquewihr, the vineyard runs along the rather steep south and south-eastern flanks of the hillside, at an altitude of 280 to 380 metres above sea-level. The Dopff au Moulin Schoenenbourg vineyard covers 8.8 hectares. The vines are grown in water-retaining subsoils of keuper marl, dolomite and gypsum, which are rich in fertilising agents, overlaid with fine layers of quaternary siliceous gravel, Vosges sandstone and muschelkalk (shellbearing limestone).

  2018 Cabernet Franc Mini Ediciones, Finca Decero

  £3775

  Finca Decero is a world-class wine producer located in the Agrelo sub-appellation of Luján de Cuyo in the northwestern part of the province of Mendoza.  Their famed Remolinos Vineyard derives its name from the little whirlwind spiral formations of soil which form in the afternoon as the gentle wind lifts the dry soil from the paths of the vineyard into swaying ‘dust devils’.  This natural phenomenon draws the attention of our overly protective Lechuza owls in the vineyard who sometimes take flight seemingly to chase them away!

  2018 is a stellar vintage in Mendoza and will be long remembered.

  The 2018 Decero Mini Ediciones Cabernet Franc is one of their ‘rare varieties & limited edition’ wines. Of this vintage, only 7,192 bottles were made. The wine shows nuances of pepper, graphite and plum notes with fresh aromatics and taut acidity resulting in a well-structured, elegant Cabernet Franc with great potential for ageing.

  2020 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune`Sous Eguisons`, Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard

  £3795

  Caroline Lestimé, winemaker at Jean-Noël Gagnard, decided to plant Chardonnay vines on this plot of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, back in 2007.   The vineyard is in La Rochepot, on an embankment overlooking and bordering the western part of the Saint-Aubin appellation Le Ban. The name “Sous Éguisons” refers to the cliff above the vineyard. The cliff offers protection from the north winds, which is a significant advantage given how harsh the climate is and how bitter the spring frosts are at this altitude. The natural growth cycle of the vines is also slower and the grapes mature a full week later than at lower levels.

  The wine itself is a revelation, pure, pristine and delicious.  The matchstick mineral nose shows pure lemony fruit with a hint of florality. The palate is linear and precise with taut lemony fruit and a fine tangy, stony mineral quality. There’s just the faintest hint of spicy, toasty oak, but the real theme here is pure, vital lemon fruit with great precision and lovely integrated acidity.

  2018 Poggio Valente IGT, Fattoria Le Pupille

  £3795

  Poggio Valente is a cru vineyard located in Pereta, near Scansano and was purchased by Elisabetta Geppetti in 1996. The focus of the project here was on the Sangiovese grape and within a few years the wine became another significant milestone with its expression of Maremma’s terroir.

  Matured for 18 months in new oak Poggio Valente is a medium ruby red in colour. The nose shows hints of red and black fruits with distinct aromas of blackberry, cherry and black plum, following notes of tobacco, nutmeg and forest floor. The palate is elegant and balanced, with sweet and silky tannins. Perfect served with fillet of beef and green pepper or polenta with wild boar – one of the classic dishes of Maremma’s cuisine.

  2019 Rosehill Shiraz, Mount Pleasant

  £3795

  Mount Pleasant, based in the Hunter Valley, was established in 1921 by the legendary winemaker Maurice O’Shea, from 16.3 hectares of adjoining parcels of land, which he named Mount Pleasant.

  An elegant and refined Shiraz, with an abundance of raspberry and cranberry fruit layered with perfumed notes of violet, spice and plum. The red fruits drive through the palate with intensity and focus supported by subtle oak.

  The Shiraz vines were planted in 1946 in a single vineyard plot named ‘Rosehill’. These low-yielding, old vines have deep and complex root systems. Maurice O’Shea purchased the land during World War II and the site is now regarded as one of the elite vineyards of the Hunter Valley. Once the site of volcanic activity, the Rosehill Vineyard is located at one of the Hunter Valley’s highest elevations. This 22-hectare parcel of volcanic loam soil, with patches of limestone and eroded basalt, is fertile and ideal for producing full-flavoured red grapes. O’Shea devoted it to solely planting Shiraz. The vineyard is cultivated using sustainable techniques, such as employing mulch to nourish the vines and growing cover crops to increase the biodiversity in the soil.

  2023 Saint Georges Zinfandel Old Vines, Birichino

  £3795

  Birichino is a boutique winery based in Santa Cruz, California, renowned for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines from old vines and lesser-known varietals. Founded in 2008 by Alex Krause and John Locke, both seasoned winemakers with extensive experience in California and abroad, Birichino (meaning “mischievous” in Italian) embodies a spirit of creativity and exploration. ​

  On the nose, vibrant aromas of ripe cherry, boysenberry, and cola intermingle with delicate floral notes and a whisper of candied violet. The palate is lively and precise, offering layered red and blue fruit flavours wrapped in fine tannins and lifted by bright acidity. Subtle accents of allspice, liquorice, and cracked pepper build through the mid-palate, leading to a long, energetic finish that echoes the wine’s spicy and mineral nuances.

  The historic vineyard from which this comes from, planted in 1922 by an Italian bootlegger, is rooted in gravelly loam soils and has been continuously farmed by the Besson family since 1925. The proximity to Monterey Bay, just 12 miles west, imparts a cooling marine influence, contributing to the wine’s vibrant acidity and nuanced flavour profile.

  2018 South Coast Pinot Noir, Lismore

  £3800

  An elegant Pinot Noir delivering a complex bouquet of crushed rose petals, wild jasmine and fresh French herbs. The palate shows beautiful purity with layered red fruits, cranberry, raspberry, silky tannins and a long, savoury finish.

  This wine was made from Pinot Noir from 2 regions, 70% of the grapes came from Stanford, Walker Bay and 30% from Elgin, both in the cool climate region Cape South Coast. The vines are all Burgundian, clone 115. The Stanford vineyard is close to the southernmost tip of Africa and is located in one of South Africa’s coolest wine-producing regions. The maritime vineyard enjoys a long ripening season, because of the strong cooling winds that are prevalent in the summer. This microclimate is ideal for creating a long hang time, concentrating the flavours in the berries while retaining natural acidity levels. Elgin is situated at 400 metres above sea level and ripens even later than the coastal vineyard. The vines here, planted in shale and clay soils, produce fleshier fruit, adding weight to the blend.

  2016 Martelo Reserva Rioja, Torre de Oña

  £3800

  The 2015 Finca Martelo Reserva is a juicy wine, thrilling the mouth with plentiful red and black fruit. A wise and careful ageing process in wood is appreciated in its seductive and well-balanced character and fresh sensations. It makes no attempt to hide the power of its modern profile but the character of a traditional wine and other more evolved touches are never far away. A top-quality Reserva wine produced by a winery steeped in expertise creating classic Rioja wines.

  Head winemaker Julio Saenz refers to it as “our little Burgundy” because of how closely it represents this unique location. In fact, the wine itself is a field blend, 95% Tempranillo with 5% other varieties including Mazuelo, Garnacha, and even Viura. The chalk soils and 80-year-old vines at Torre de Oña produce a fuller, riper style of Rioja, while the high altitude and Atlantic influence in Rioja Alavesa keeps the wine fresh and elegant. This style is complemented by the use of 20% French oak and shorter maturation, alongside La Rioja Alta’s ultra-traditional methods such as racking by hand.

  2016 Zinfandel ‘Bradford Mountain Estate Vineyard’, Peterson Winery

  £3800

  This Mountain-grown Zinfandel opens in the glass with tempting notes of opulent dark berries, spicy black pepper and a rich mineral essence, underpinned by beautifully integrated oak nuances through to a long, elegant finish

  The grapes are ‘Estate Grown’ from the Bradford Mountain Estate vineyard. Overlooking the western edge of Dry Creek Valley, the vineyard spans six and a half hectares on the very top of the 385-metre peak that Fred cleared and planted in the 1980s. The well-drained, red-clay soil, combined with sunny days and cool nights, produces small, intensely flavoured grapes. This wine encapsulates all of the best qualities found in mountain-grown Zinfandels from the Dry Creek Valley appellation: the poorer soils and cooler nights harness and preserve more of the bright acidity and freshness in the grapes. More sunlight hours at the higher elevation means thicker-skinned fruit which translates as darker, richer fruit. The key characteristics of mountain-grown Zinfandel are that it has a peppery quality and more intense black fruit characteristics.

  2023 Chardonnay, Masut

  £3800

  Masút Vineyard & Winery was founded by Ben and Jake Fetzer, third-generation members of the legendary Fetzer winemaking family. The brothers established the estate in Mendocino County’s rugged Redwood Valley, where they focus on small-lot, estate-grown wines that reflect the wild beauty and cool-climate finesse of the region. The Masút estate vineyard, planted on hillside slopes at elevations up to 1,200 feet, benefits from Pacific Ocean influences, long growing seasons, and sustainably farmed soils, making it an ideal location for producing vibrant, expressive wines.

  The 2023 Masút Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced wine that showcases the varietal’s natural brightness and depth while maintaining restraint and elegance. Sourced from the estate’s cooler blocks, the fruit was gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts, then aged in a combination of French oak and stainless steel to preserve freshness while building texture.

  In the glass, the wine opens with aromas of crisp green apple, Meyer lemon, and white peach, laced with hints of honeysuckle, crushed stone, and lightly toasted almond. The palate is lively and layered, offering a core of citrus and orchard fruit balanced by a subtle creaminess and a vibrant mineral finish. Oak influence is measured, adding complexity without overpowering the wine’s purity and energy.

  The 2023 Masút Chardonnay is a refreshing, food-friendly white with depth and elegance, ideal with seafood, roast chicken, or creamy pasta dishes. A confident expression of cool-climate California Chardonnay, it captures both the precision of the site and the passion of the Fetzer brothers’ winemaking philosophy.
