Chateau de Roquefort Gueule de Loup 2019
The cellars at Château de Roquefort were built in 1734. Until 1995, the estate only produced wine to be sold in bulk. Raimond de Villeneuve took over in 1995, modernized the winery, and began producing biodynamic wines under the Château’s name.
The Gueule de Loup is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Cinsault, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 80% cement and 20% wood. It is pure, fresh, and full with red fruits and sublte black fruit with just a touch of earth and grilled meat. A pleasant liveliness in the mouth, no need to be thirsty to drink!

Chateau du Seuil Graves Blanc 2018
The wine is of an appealing golden colour, has a fresh aromatic bouquet, is full and fruity with a long aftertaste. The wines are situated in the deep river gravels that cover the entire plateau. This gravel is combined with sand, clay and limestone which all contribute to the uniqueness of the Graves and the characteristic minerality which is expressed in the wines.

Château Hermitage Saint-Martin ENZO 2019
Clear and bright, the nose is rich with complex notes of citrus and summer blossoms. Ample yet elegant on the palate, there is a bright burst of fruity with a mineral finish.
ORGANIC
Chateau Marsyas B-Qa 2016
Ripe red and black cherries with peppery spice pair perfectly with beef shish, charred spring onion, tomatoes and sumac – the fruit-forward elements of the wine balancing the charcoal from the beef. So satisfying to drink, it also tastes delicious with dark chocolate.
Clos Henri La Chapelle Blanc de Noir
This is technically a “Blanc de Noir” – made from 100% Pinot Noir and in a rich and full bodied style of Methode Traditionelle. If you prefer your bubbles on the yeasty, chocolatey and savoury end of the spectrum this should definitely catch your eye. Creamy long and satisfying savoury finish too.
Colossal Reserva 2016
Made from a blend of Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Tinta Roria and Alicant Bouschet, this is vivid purple black in the glass with vibrant magenta edges. The bouquet is awash with dark plums, prunes, tar and polished oak and it is immediately seamless in the spicy, savoury, oaky, medium to full-bodied palate filled with succulent dark berry fruit and accents of baking spices and pepper. Terrifically tasty with lovely balance of fruit and savouriness and tannins more noticeable on the long dry finish.
Columbia Crest Chardonnay 2019
This Chardonnay opens with intense aromas of apples and melons, joined by signature characters of crème brûlée, caramelized sugar and butterscotch. Ripe orchard fruit flavors are joined by creamy, buttery notes and balanced by lively acidity.
Commune of the Buttons Nebbiolo Rosé 2020
Has a vibrant, tangy nose full of strawberry and cherry notes, with a brisk palate that is both subtle and juicy.
Two-days on skins, and fermentation in old oak puncheons, give the wine gravitas and length. Less of a park wine, more of an Italian picnic-wine centred around wild-boar sausage sandwiches. Tastes more like chilled red rather than typical Rosé.

Conceito Vamp White 2019
Bright citrus colour with greenish tones. Intense and complex aroma, with citrus notes, tropical fruits and slightly floral. In the mouth, it has good volume, firm and well integrated acidity, fruity notes and harmonious and persistent finish.
Continental Platter Prosecco NV
A frivolous, vivacious but not aggressively effervescent Prosecco. A fresh citrus body is highlighted by lingering honey notes in a full mouthfeel. With organically and sustainably farmed fruit for this number, it’s incredible value.

Côtes du Rhône Blanc Ephemere 2019
A white wine made from Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier. The grapes were vinified together in tank and then aged for 6 months on the fine lees before bottling. Fragrant and fresh. A generous and enticingly aromatic nose with notes of white flowers, peaches, and pears. Textured and silky.

De La Terre Cuvée II Methode Traditionnelle 2018
A crisp, fresh ‘fruit-forward’ Methode with obvious yeast notes and the minerality typical of our limestone terroir. The stylistic aim was for 3 essential elements: fresh, fruit-forward, and obvious but restrained brioche/bready notes. A strong flavour ‘attack ’showing a vibrant marriage of fruit and yeast influences. The firm and fresh acidity provides balance and persistence of flavour through to a long, clean finish.
De la Terre Reserve Tannat 2018
The nose has a totally unique fruit profile of blackberry/blueberry notes and an underlying earthiness with hints of fountain-pen ink and a seam of French oak. At present, the wine displays a youthful vibrancy – our experience is that with bottle age, the primary fruit gives way to earthiness and increased complexity.
De La Terre Viognier 2014
Delicate notes of citrus blossom, quince and lychee alongside a seam of flinty minerality on the nose. On the palate, an elegant and refined balance of ripe, clean Viognier flavours and gentle acidity. Flavours of honey, lychee and light citrus dominate. The palate structure is tight and linear with a clean, crisp and long finish.
De Martino Viejas Tinajas Muscat 2018
Made with ancestral winemaking techniques, this natural wine is truly unique. 100% Muscat de Alexandria, using tinajas (terracotta amphorae), with no outside intervention. A tradition in the region from the 16th century that De Martino has revived. Beautiful aromas of lychee, white flower blossom, jasmine and orange peel. This Muscat is dry, bold and delicious with flavors that just keep on giving! Extremely limited production.

Decibel Giunta Malbec Nouveau 2021
For this lighter style, the Malbec color is quite a dark purple. The nose is grainy, brambly with hints of violets and tamarillo growing into notes of blackberry and blueberry pie. Some hints of all spice and confection notes also persist. The palate has a lightly spicy attack with a juicy, supple acidity that drives the mid-palate. The wine finishes short and fresh bringing you back for more. Drink now or over the next 3 years.
Devotus The Aprentis Pinot Noir 2018
There are layers of aromatics consisting of earth, spice and dark cherry. Medium-full bodied, the palate has a core of rich, sweet and luscious red fruit flavours. There are dark herbs, a fine-grained tannin structure with balanced, refreshing acidity.

Domaine Baumard Carte Turquoise Cremant de Loire NV
The mousse is elegant and refined and there is plenty of crisp acidity. The finish is long and dry with attractive biscuity notes.
This special old vine cuvée has depth and elegance – a belting alternative to Champagne and leagues ahead on quality over bottom-end fizz!
Domaine Chantemerle Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2019
