Alex had friends round at the weekend and, like any good host, provided snacks and an accompanying suitable aperitif. Typical of the classic Penedès blend of sparkling wine, this bottle of Terra de Marca 2017 has taut acidity, a lick of saline, and rich nutty flavours. The perfect pairing is surely Catalan almonds to provide the perfect kickstarter for any good evening with friends.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been playing host to some of our favourite vignerons, who have flown over from France and Portugal to pour their wines for many of you to enjoy.

It’s been a ton of fun and we never tire of seeing our customers discover the bottles on our shelves, so we’ll be doing the same this Saturday, with handcrafted cocktails on offer in Greenwich.

After mixing cocktails at some of London’s top restaurants for 20 years, Xhulio Sina created Bottle in 2017 alongside his wife, Natalie John. We became instant fans when we discovered their cocktails a year later and we’ve had a selection on our shelves ever since.

Xhulio will be with us in Greenwich from 1pm tomorrow, shaking and stirring some of his creations. Let us know if you stop by!

If you’re on a quest to consume all things rich and decadent before lent, nothing will pair with your pancakes like a fine cider. From dry to sweet, there’s a cider for all your pancake needs, whether they’re drowned in syrup or topped with butter and bacon. A touch of a sparkling cider also won’t go amiss splashed into the batter itself, adding depth of flavour as well as a light and fluffy texture: the perfect excuse to open a bottle or two! Here are a couple of our favourites:

Bordelet Poire Authentique, Normandy
For a marriage with the classic lemon and sugar topped pancake, this biodynamic off-dry perry, with a soft light texture and delicate pear fruit at the forefront and lightly sweet on the finish, will truly elevate your pancake experience.

Little Pomona Kingston Black, Herefordshire
For the more savoury pancake lovers, with toppings ranging from bacon to blue cheese, this is the way to go. Little Pomona’s Kingston Black apples are bitter-sweet and give an amazing structure to this Pet Nat-style sparkling cider. It’s elegant on the nose and velvety light on the palate, with slight residual sugar balancing a natural tartness. Perfectly food friendly and in 750ml, great for sharing.

While we appreciate a savoury delight as much as the next person, it is sweet decadence we truly crave. The sweet wines from Tokaji have a cult following for a reason but they can come with eye-watering costs. However, the Bodvin Sweet Cuvée from Orosz Gabor is one of the best-value examples of its kind.

The Furmint grapes are left on the vine to shrivel, concentrating their sugars and flavours before the winemaking process begins. The result is a luscious dessert wine of lemon balm and tarte tatin, all balanced by Furmint’s signature racing acidity. So, treat yourself even more and pair your pancakes with this sweet cuvée.

Our weekly tastings for March are selling like hotcakes, but there are still a few left to be snapped up. Whether you’re looking for a new Australian favourite or wish to take a vinous journey through the Celtic nations, we’ve got you covered! Take a look at the link in our bio to find out more.

The Tokaji wines, both dry and sweet, of Orosz Gabor have been in and out of our range over the last few years thanks to Covid and a period of non availability, so we’re thrilled to have these distinctive wines back with us!

A native of the Tokaji region, Orosz grew up among his winemaking relatives in the vineyards around the town of Màd. Shortly after the break up of the Soviet bloc, he was able to start his own winery in the same town in 1994. There are just over 7 hectares in production on some of Tokaji’s finest terroirs, including first growths Kiraly and Betsek.

The area is dominated by over 400 extinct volcanoes, and the combination of tufa, red clay and silicas with the local grape varieties, Furmint and Harslevelu, results in dry wines as complex as the soils: meadow flowers, quince, honey, stones, saffron. 

Both Birtok, a blend of vineyards, and Betsek, a single vineyard Furmint, are rich and authoritative, exciting and original to taste. The sweet wines are of course world famous, setting the standard by which all sweet wines are judged. Each bottle showed at our shop tastings have blown our customers away, so if you haven’t tried these unique, delicious wine yet, make sure you change that soon!

A wine from one of our beloved growers received the top prize in the inaugural Wines of Roussillon Coup de Coeur. We’ve loved the mineral, textured Domaine de Soulane’s Vieilles Vignes Blanc 2021 ever since it landed on our shelves so we’re thrilled to see it get the recognition it deserves.

Here’s what judge Natalie Earl had to say: “Waxy lemon, beeswax, honey and bruised apples. Great concentration, lovely fresh palate and texture. Touch of herbs and a long finish.”

We still have a few bottles on our shelves, so do grab one if you want to see what the fuss is about, and if you see a wine from the Roussillon do give it a try, it’s a very underrated region.

Lovable rogues Zac, Freddie, and head chef Jake have been pulling the crowds to their intimate restaurant on Hackney Road for a few years now, and we are thrilled to team up with them for a special Greek wine dinner on the 30th of May.

Greek wine is having a moment, with exciting bottles from artisan producers leading the way.

With authentic local grape varieties like Assyrtiko and Xinomavro, along with a wealth of terroirs from the Balkan forest to the Cretan dune, Greece has it all when it comes to being original and authentic.

Chef Jake Ayliffe has created a 5-course tasting menu including grilled octopus, unctuous lamb, and orange cake that will be paired with wines selected and presented by Daniel.

Tickets and additional information are available via the link in our bio.

For those who’ve made it to the slopes this year and for those who want to live the fantasy, we have some new beauties from France’s alpine region Savoie!

With only 2,000 hectares of vines, Savoie represents a tiny fraction of France's wine production. Compare that with Bordeaux’s 110,000 hectares and you have a sense of the artisanal nature of the wines made here. We have cherry picked a couple of bottles that we feel capture the essence of place and demonstrate how underrated this tucked away pocket of France really is.

Patrick Bottex Bugey Cerdon 2021

Wedged between Lyon and Geneva, Bugey is a tiny 500-hectare enclave of vines perched on the steep western flank of the Alps. Cerdon is one of three nominated sub-regions or crus, notable for their unique qualities, and for Cerdon this means sparkling wines only. This example is based on gamay, with a little poulsard, and is made using the ancestral method, whereby the wine finishes its fermentation in the bottle. There is a natural sweetness that is balanced by a fresh bite, and at only 8% alcohol it would make a really original, pink, fruity, and refreshing aperitif.

 
Domaine Bärtschi Chardonnay Sous les Rochers de la Vigne, Cru Manicle, 2021

Another Savoyard speciality with a wonderfully evocative name meaning 'under the rocks of the vine'. Downslope from the snowy peaks, on a steep south-facing site, Manicle is one of the rare crus, or growths, of the small Bugey appellation. Soils are a mix of limestone scree and clay, and the altitude and fresh nights bring a degree of refreshment, precision and, dare one say, minerality, a term now rather over-used in the wine lexicon. Crisp, crunchy, Alpine-flowery, and perfect with a ripe Vacherin before its season comes to an end.

Find these gems on our shelves and on the website.

We’ve been huge fans of Vilmart for many years, so were thrilled to get our hands on a few bottles of this 2017 vintage from grapes from 50-year-old vines premier cru sites in Rilly-la-Montagne.

Made with 80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir, it’s aged for 10 months in new oak (which is relatively uncommon for Champagne), and then bottled for 42 months before disgorgement.

The result is sumptuous and expressive. It opens with lemon sherbet, creamy almond and gingerbread alongside a wonderful backbone of crushed shells and chalk, before treating you to a lightly honied finish.

The winery is certified sustainable, the farming is organic and the production is small. This is the benchmark of grower Champagne and is an absolute steal for a wine with so much to say. What’s not to love? 🍾🍾🍾
