Ciao! After the popularity of our first Open Tasting a few months ago, we’re back showcasing our favourite wine region on the planet: Italy 🇮🇹

We’ll be opening 12 wines from across this amazing region, ranging in all styles & prices, and over the course of a couple of hours you get to make your way around trying every single one! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

It’s a great way to try some different wines in an informal setting; be it hanging out with mates or enjoying a date night. We’ll have the old-school Italian music blaring, snacks on offer and bring a little slice of Italy to Towcester 🍷🤌

Hope to see you there!

AUGUST TASTINGS 😄🥂

The Northern Rhône 🇫🇷
🗓️ Friday 9th August
When it comes to wine, it’s hard to imagine a place which epitomises elegance, finesse and power more than France’s Northern Rhône Valley.

Encompassing the storied appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Crôzes-Hermitage and Cornas to name but a few; it’s the premier place on the planet for the red Syrah, as well as the white Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne grapes.

California: Beyond Napa 🇺🇸
🗓️ Saturday 17th August
Whilst we love the Napa Valley, it can (and does) also overshadow the rest of the wonderful winemaking region that is California. 

And seeing that 96% of California’s wine production takes place outside of Napa, we thought it’s time to shine a spotlight on, and taste, where else this great state makes wine.

WINE OF THE WEEK 🤩

Achillée, Pépin Orange NV 🇫🇷🧡
Was: £24 | Now: £21 | Save: 12.5%

With regional winemaking in the family going back 400 years, the team at Achillée are experts on the grapes Alsace grows best. The name for the winery comes from a yarrow which is used in biodynamic winemaking and grows in abundance on the farm, with the Achillée winery also boasting the title of being the largest building made of straw in Europe.

This latest iteration of Pépin Orange NV has been made with 100% Gewürztraminer. Incredibly vibrant and fruit-driven on the nose it bursts with notes of ripe tangerine, elderflower, lychee and white pepper. The palate is rich, yet silky with a real depth of tropical, spicy flavour. An absolute pleasure to drink and one of our favourite orange wines. 🍑🌶️🌸

WINE OF THE WEEK 🤩
Te Whare Ra, Pinot Gris 2022 🇳🇿
Was: £21 | Now: £18 | Save: 14%

Meaning “The House in the Sun” in Maori, Te Whare Ra is a family run winery on New Zealand’s South Island. Headed up by husband-wife duo Jason & Anna Flowerday, they have been making organic wines since 2003 🏡☀️🍇

Their Pinot Gris 2022 is taken from a single vineyard in the Renwick appellation of Marlborough. An aromatic nose of pear, honeysuckle, red apple and white blossom follow onto a more savoury-fruity palate balanced by a fine, supple texture, dry finish and lingering minerality. A great wine to pair with fresh seafood or, our fav, burrata 🍐🍎🧀😋

Available while stocks last all bank holiday weekend 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

MAY TASTINGS 🙌🍷

We’re very excited to announce our May events at Vinebud. We’ve got a couple of great tastings lined up and hope to see you there 😄

HIGH ALTITUDE WINES 🏔️🍇
Friday 10th May
High altitude vineyards boast some of the best climactic factors in what makes a great wine great. And whilst it can certainly be more challenging farming on a mountain or the side of an active volcano, the results in your glass can’t be questioned.

VINEBUD WITH DEUX SIX 🍾🥂
Friday 24th May
was started in 2020 with a vision of making amazing, unique Champagnes more accessible to the UK. They’re all about getting off the beaten track and finding small-batch wines from independent growers; which is something we’re definitely aligned with at Vinebud.

We’ve gone for a real fan-favourite this week 😍

Precision, Prototype Zinfandel 2020 🇺🇸
Was: £17.5 | Now: £15 | Save: 14%

Prototype Zinfandel 2020 is made from grapes taken from the red soil and south facing slopes of California’s Lodi region.

WINE OF THE WEEK 🤩

Villalobos, Silvestre Carignan 2018 🇨🇱
Was: £18
Now: £15

Located just outside the village of Ranuili in Chile’s Colchagua Valley, the Villalobos’ Wild Vineyard is about as rustic a vineyard you can get whilst still commercially producing wine. The vines were planted (pretty much at random) back in the 40s & 50s and left to grow wild. Now they’re interspersed with native rose bushes, pine trees and blackberry bushes which makes for an incredibly fresh, almost primordial tasting wine ⛰️🍇🤌

Silvestre 2018 is a lovely, bright, 100% biodynamically farmed Carignan which displays all of the vitality we love with this variety. Aromas of wild blackberry, raspberry and strawberry moves to a bright palate with further flavours of sweet berries, mint and smoke. A great wine to pair with lighter meat dishes or poultry 🍓🍷🍗

And don’t forget, we have 10% off all our sparkling wine in time for Mother’s Day this weekend! 🍾🥂➡️➡️

02/03/2024

WINE OF THE WEEK 🤩

El Enemigo, Malbec 2019 🇦🇷
Was: £21
Now: £18.5

In 2009, historian Adrianna Catena and soils engineer Alejandro Vigil decided to create a winery that would represent the true culture, tradition and history of Argentina; and El Enemigo, “The Enemy”, was born. The vineyards are located in the storied region of Mendoza, where the unique calcareous soils and high altitude climate have made this one of the best wine growing regions in the world ⛰️🍇

Malbec 2019 has been blended with 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot to add a really plummy depth of flavour to the characteristically Malbec flavours of juicy blueberry and violet. The palate has a bright acidity which is tempered by the medium-full body. It’s a superb pair with grilled meats, and is ready to be enjoyed now or over the next 5-10 years 🍷🫐💜
