“The Manchu Bride” Muscat from The Treaty Port Estate China
From a vineyard established in 2005 on the Shandong peninsula by Chris Ruffle comes this crisp Muscat with a hint of sweetness, which won gold medal at the China Wine & Spirit Awards in Hong Kong. The 2018 vintage produced a high quality juice which was cold-fermented to retain the floral, lychee character of the wine. Drink chilled with seafood? Or just on its own.

Verus Riesling, Slovenia
Verus Riesling, Slovenia
Verus wines need little commentary. They are all superb, demonstrating what Jancis Robinson called “a purity of fruit” when we shipped their first ever vintage in 2008. This Riesling is delciously characteristic of the slightly petrolly flavours you get with classic Rieslings. Zingy and refreshing.

Blanquette de Limoux Domaine Rosier
My favourite Blanquette de Limoux from over 200 tasted at the Vinisud Trade Wine Fair a couple of years back. Blanquette de Limoux differs from Cremant basically in the grapes used; in this case Mauzac and Chardonnay.It has been lees aged for 12 months and is a lovely clean, creamy style. The Rosier family is rightly proud of this, their top cuvee.

White Rioja “Florentius”
Those lovely people from Florentino Martinez produce one of our best-selling wines – their dry, unoaked white. Whist on our most recent visit I also tried this off-dry wine for the first time and really liked it. It’s a floral style (think dry muscat). Drink chilled on its own or with a nice spicy Thai Curry!
Oh, and it was voted Best White Wine in the Rioja Cosecheros Awards

Pinot Gris “En Coteaux” by Jeff Carrel
Well, here’s a thing. I really love Alsace Pinot Gris. It’s my favourite Alsace varietal. But Alsace for some reason is very difficult to sell. Our Pinot Gris from Verus is superb, and that sells so what is going on? This wine from Jeff Carrel – yet another off-the-wall idea from him – is made from grapes harvested in Alsace but transported down to Jeff’s winery near Narbonne and fermented there. De-classified, obviously! But what you get is a lovely honeyed style of Alsace Pinot Gris in all but name.

Château d’Or et de Gueules ‘Trassegum’ White organic
This wine was the very first one we had recommended in the national press when we started the business back in 2006.
The new 2021 vintage is arguably even better, I love it. Think creamy rich white Cotes du Rhone. Three months in barrel just to soften it out a bit and give a rich, soft nicely balanced white wine that will go really well with your Sunday roast.
Recommended by Jancis Robinson: “Lots of interest here.”
Previous vintages RECOMMENDED IN THE OBSERVER. The 2009 vintage displays a beautiful balance and is as good a white from the south of France as you will see anywhere. 50% of the blend is barrel-fermented Roussanne; the rest is unoaked Grenache Blanc and Rolle. It is a rich wine with an excellent balance of oak and will be perfect with your Sunday roast.

Cazas Novas Avesso “Pure”
We are excited to introduce a trio of super wines all from Cazas Novas in the north of Portugal, all made by Wimemaker of the Year, Diogo Lopes, and all made from the Avesso grape variety which is rapidly gaining kudos in Portugal. Wines made from the hand-picked grapes are aged sur lies for 4 months with “batonnage”.
One step up from the “Colheita”; selected parcels of grapes, lower production result in a lovely creaminess as well as its fresh crisp palate and good structure and minerality as well as extra bottle age. If you like Verus wines you’ll like this, for sure.Other Single Varietal RedDry & Soft WhitesFlinty and ComplexPortugal2020750 ml11%-12.5%£16.00

Château d’Or et de Gueules “Le Fût entre 2 Chaises” ORANGE WINE
Following the runaway success of Mathieu’s Syrah, they have introduced a pink and now also an “Orange”. 100% Rolle grapes (aka Vermentino) fermented with the skins as you would a red wine, but no colour extraction, well, a bit – orange.

Jean Michel Dupré Beaujolais Villages Blanc La Ronze Blanche 2022
A hugely exciting new range of Cru Beaujolais specially brought in to give us all a vinous Christmas treat, but don’t wait for Christmas.
There’s a nice straw colour and a lemony nose, maybe a hint of caramel and citrus fruits. The palate is lean and minerally which to me is more reminiscent of a steely Chablis than a fat Macon so it goes really well with fruits de mer, fish dishes or just on its own as an apéro!
One third of the blend was aged in barrels for four months. So it’s not oaky, just rounded-out.
