La Picossa Garnatxa Blanca, Roqueta Origen, Terra Alta 2025

White | Spain | 12% | Dry, fruity white

100% Grenache Blanc, fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel. Fresh and floral on the nose, with notes of sappy white pear and bright white stone fruit which follow through on to the palate, easy going at first before opening up on swirling to reveal lightly tropical notes with a waxy green fruit hint. This lovely wine is racy and sapid with a mouthwatering, mineral finish – perfection!

“A really well-priced, lush rich-textured white you might possibly be able to get your hands on in time for our Spanish tasting on Sunday evening.” Fiona Beckett

Red | Spain | 13.5% | Lighter, fruitier red

Badilante, IGT Toscana Podere 414, Simone Castelli - Organic 2024

Red | Italy | Tuscany | 14% | Full-bodied red

Pale limpid red with a nose of juicy red fruits and black cherry, very alluring, with a light cedary note behind. On the palate, fresh red fruits, nicely tart and refreshing, fruity too, and again a light cedary / tarry note. The ripe structure makes this delicious to drink now – and it is delicious lightly chilled too.

Jardins, Château Mauvesin Barton, Bordeaux 2024

Red | France | Bordeaux | 12% | Medium-bodied red

Vibrant red, jewel-like, with a nose of juicy, peppery dark fruit, leafy and fresh, with an equally juicy, floral palate, soft, supple red fruits – redcurrant, rhubarb – with just a light tannic twist for freshness.

"This 100 per cent Merlot is designed for easy-going al fresco/picnic drinking, with maximum, juicy hedgerow fruit and minimum tannins. It’s utterly charming and could have been made especially with this moreish muffuletta in mind." Jonathan Ray, The Spectator - recommended to pair with chef Olivia Potts' muffuletta recipe.

“Burgundy bottle! Debut vintage of a 100% Merlot from the Barton family of St-Julien and this Moulis property. 49-year-old vines on sandy, stony soils give a wine designed to conform to the new, fresh, fruity ‘claret’ style. Two weeks’ maceration at 22 °C. Bright, light crimson with a pale rim. Juicy and soft. A world away from trad red bordeaux but why not? New styles are needed and I suggest any traditionalist try this.” Jancis Robinson 16.5/20

Viognier, Domaine de Montmarin, IGT Côtes de Thongue (Screwcap closure) - Organic 2025

Pale with a deliciously bright floral nose, roses and jasmine, really alluring, leading to a juicily fruited palate of peaches, roses, some lychee, floral and creamy with a light leafy freshness on the end. Proper Viognier!

“Domaine de Montmarin Viognier 2025 Côtes de Thongue, France is the garden viognier of dreams: floaty and apricotty with a subtly saline edge so it still feels refreshing.” Victoria Moore

From three different plots near premier cru Les Vaillons with 85-year-old vines, close to premier cru Montée de Tonnerre below the Château and the last from Pargues, considered to be close to premier cru quality; each plot picked and vinified separately and blended just ahead of bottling. No oak. Pale gold with a green glint and a nose of leafy, musky fruit, white flowers, very fresh, leading to a lively palate with lovely lime-fresh acidity, mineral, with bright white stone fruits, white flowers, fine acidity and a racy finish which builds and develops.

Petit Cantenac, Grand Cru St Emilion 2022

Red | France | Bordeaux | 14% | Full-bodied red

80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon; 40% new oak.

This is a true second wine in that some plots are always in Petit Cantenac but others move between Petit and Clos, depending on the year. Deep, not dense to the rim with a nose of creamed red berry fruit with a hint of green leaf and bright, rich black cherry, lightly spiced, creamy and fresh. The palate is sweet and ripe, juicy and vibrant with notes of raspberry and blueberry and a light black cherry spice, with supple tannins completely enveloped by the fruit, going to a long, mouth-watering finish. This will drink early and for some time – a perfect combination.

Vico dell’ Amore Greco di Tufo DOCG, Nativ 2024

White | Italy | Campania | 13% | Dry, crisp white

Bright and floral with deliciously juicy, semi tropical fruits, white flowers, mineral and racy with a lovely long finish.

“It was an Italian white from Private Cellar a few years ago that first got me properly into Italian whites. The narrative arc of Italy’s white wine production in recent decades starts with a much-needed clean-up in response to the technical precision of the New World, resulting in neutral-to-super-neutral whites that finally re-gained some of the personality that had been 'lost in the wash’” – Tom Lewis, The Cambridge Wine Blogger.

Rijk's Private Cellar Chenin Blanc, Tulbagh 2023

White | South Africa | Tulbagh | 14.5% | Dry, full-bodied white

The Private Cellar Chenin is 41% fermented in new large oak barrels with the rest in one year old barrels, giving a lovely broad, peachy palate with notes of nougat and a distant grilled vanillin touch. This is absolutely stunning.
