  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.

  2021 Milla Cala , Viña VIK

  £3800

  A signature blend of all the varieties on the VIK estate, the red fruit notes from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot intermingle perfectly with the black fruit and spice of the Carmenère, all underpinned by a mineral hint of Cabernet Franc and the violet nuances of Syrah.

  Situated within the valley’s interior, the vineyard benefits from a rich tapestry of diverse terroirs and microclimates. Each parcel features unique exposures, tempered by coastal breezes, which intricately crafts complexity in the resulting wines. The vineyards are planted across 12 small valleys, totalling 327 hectares. More than 6,000 soil analyses were conducted to match clonal selection of rootstock and varieties. The soil types include colluvial, alluvial, sand, clay, and gravel stone, each imparting a distinctive characteristic to the resulting blend. Milla Calla incorporates all the varieties on the estate. The vines are planted in the Colchaguilla, La Feria, Boqueron plots at high density, of 10,000 vines per hectare, with six bunches per vine. 50% of the vineyards are massale selection and 50% are from carefully selected clones.

  2018 Old Vines Trousseau From Patagonia, Matias Riccitelli

  £3875

  Made from 100% Trousseau this elegant wine offers aromatic complexity with wild red-berried fruits and mineral notes complemented by spicy, floral hues. Refreshing and silky, this is light but with good structure and a long finish.

  The Trousseau grapes come from the traditional vine-growing sites of Allen and Ing Heuergo in the province of Rio Negro, Patagonia, approximately halfway between the Andes Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Situated on the 39° latitude south, the sunlight exposure is more intense than in northern areas, but at this latitude, the nights are much colder. This daily diurnal temperature range is excellent for the production of quality grapes; the nightly cooling-off extends the ripening period, allowing the grapes to develop rich varietal characteristics while retaining balancing acidity. The low yielding vines were planted at the beginning of the 1970s and they are ungrafted allowing for complete interaction between the silty soils and the vine. The vines are cultivated naturally following organic principles resulting in wines that are expressive of the terroir and their varietal characteristics. The grapes are hand-harvested once they have reached optimal maturity. The long-forgotten variety of Trousseau is a dark-skinned variety that originated in Jura, France and is a synonym for Bastardo.

  2018 Amarone della Valpolicella, Musella

  £3995

  The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Musella is a masterful expression of Valpolicella’s rich winemaking heritage, crafted with biodynamic precision and a deep respect for tradition. Sourced from estate vineyards nestled in the hills northeast of Verona, this wine is a blend of 50% Corvinone, 45% Corvina, 5% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta. 

  The grapes undergo the traditional Appassimento process, where they are dried in well-ventilated rooms, losing at least 40% of their original weight. This concentrates their sugars, aromatic compounds, and noble tannins. In January, the grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation begins at low winter temperatures (13–17°C). The wine is then aged for 24 months in 3,500 to 5,000-litre oak barrels, followed by 12 months in concrete tanks, allowing it to develop depth and complexity. 

  In the glass, this Amarone reveals a deep ruby hue. The nose is rich with aromas of sweet cherries, dried fruits, spices, and hints of bitter chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, offering a harmonious balance of concentrated fruit flavours and a pleasantly tangy finish. The wine’s structure is supported by its 15.6% alcohol content, providing a robust yet refined experience.
