Grand Premier of Etienne Seignovert’s 2023 Vintage | Trade tasting | London - Antidote | 18.11

We’re thrilled to announce the UK debut of Etienne Seignovert’s highly anticipated 2023 vintage, marking a first-ever opportunity to experience his entire range on this side of the Channel! 🇬🇧✨

Etienne, the brilliant young winemaker from Ardèche, is making waves with his beautifully crafted wines. From his roots in his family’s restaurant to mastering his craft at Domaine Gouffier in Burgundy, Etienne has returned to his family’s farm with a fresh vision: creating wines that reflect the land, the people, and the biodiversity around him. 🌱

His polyculture approach combines agroforestry with vineyards thriving at 300-500 meters above sea level on the stunning granite terraces of Colombia-le-Vieux and Saint Joseph in the Northern Rhône. Etienne’s range includes expressive Syrah, Merlot, Marsanne, Rousanne, and Gamay, all cultivated organically. 🍇🌿

In the cellar, he lets the grapes speak for themselves — no fining, no filtering. Just pure, vibrant, electric flavors that explode with personality. A true testament to Etienne’s dedication to creating wines that are as authentic as they are unforgettable.

The tasting will run from 10am to 4pm with slots every 30minutes.

Fresh drops from István Bencze | Szent György Hill | Hungary 🇭🇺

From the heart of Hungary’s biodynamic vineyards, we’re thrilled to welcome the latest release from *István Bencze* — the pioneer of natural wine in Hungary. 🌿🍷

It all began in 2011 when István settled by the stunning Lake Balaton, cultivating vines on the unique, mineral-rich slopes of Szent György Hill. With soil made up of basalt, Pannonian limestone and brown forest soil, it’s no wonder his wines are as distinct as the landscape itself.

A true craftsman, István’s journey was shaped by his travels and the teachings of Styrian winemakers, inspiring him to embrace a low-intervention approach that’s as much about respecting the land as it is about creativity in the bottle. ✨

**Pinot Noir** – A vibrant burst of fresh strawberries, cherries, rhubarb & lime peel, with an herbaceous kick that keeps you on your toes. It’s playful, it’s exhilarating, and every sip brings something new.

**Furmint** – A wine that dances with zesty citrus and electric minerality, making it one of the most captivating examples of this variety we’ve ever tasted. A true showstopper.

**Chenin Blanc** – A tribute to István’s love for the Loire Valley, this one is a creamy, layered beauty with citrus, white peach, almonds, and a striking chalky finish. If you’re a Chenin lover, this is *not* to be missed.

**Limited availability** – These wines are a rare treat. Get yours before they’re gone! 🌟

Introducing - Edgar Brutler | Transylvania, Romania 🇷🇴

We’re beyond excited to welcome Edgar Brutler to our portfolio! His family’s winemaking roots trace all the way back to the 1850s in Transylvania, when they first arrived from Stuttgart. After decades of history, migration, and passion, Edgar’s family returned to Romania to reclaim their vineyards and build something extraordinary.

🍷 The Wines
With a deep love for organic farming and a unique winemaking style, Edgar’s small-scale wines are crafted from traditional grapes like Fetească Regală, Blaufränkisch, and his signature, Grünspitz. Grown on rich iron clay soils in the foothills of the Carpathians, these wines are all about natural expression – no herbicides, no synthetic sprays, and minimal intervention in the cellar.

🌿 The Process
Edgar’s 200-year-old cellar is where the magic happens. Fermented spontaneously, unfiltered, unfined, and often without added SO2, each bottle is a reflection of the land and his creative winemaking intuition.

Get ready to experience the true taste of Transylvania at our trade tastings in October;

7th - Bristol - Marmo .restaurant
14th - London - Elliot’s Hackney

🌟 New Vintage from Koppitsch | Burgenland | Austria 🇦🇹

We’ve just snagged the freshest 2023 vintage of Koppitsch wines, and they’re absolutely smashing! Brighter, bursting with pure fruit vibes, and simply more elegant than ever before.🌿🍷

We’re bringing these beautiful wines up north this weekend! Catch us in Glasgow on the 10th at .wine and in Newcastle on the 11th at .

These gems come from Maria and Alex’s charming 6 ha winery, nestled on the gentle slopes of Burgenland by the stunning Neusiedl lake. Since 2011, they’ve been keeping alive 500 years of family winemaking tradition. 🍇👨‍🌾👩‍🌾

Their holistic approach means everything in the vineyard is done with utmost respect and care. With biodynamic principles at their heart and heaps of manual labour, you know you’re getting the real deal. 🌍💚

The grapes thrive on a mix of sand, clay, loam, and gravel soils, making each wine wonderfully diverse. 🏞️✨

In the cellar, it’s all about low intervention. Fermentation kicks off naturally, no fancy temperature controls here! Every drop is matured on the fine lees in old barrels, amphora and finer glass tanks. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration – just as nature intended. 🍇🍷

As Maria & Alex say, “We craft natural wine with joy, tickle, complexity, honesty, and soul.” Cheers to that! 🍷✨

Introducing - Thibaud Capellaro | Côte-Rôtie | France 🇫🇷

Introducing the newest gem in our portfolio: Thibaud Capellaro, a visionary winemaker redefining the vineyards of Côte-Rôtie in Norther Rhône since 2018.

Born and bred in this storied region with no family roots in viticulture. Thibaud started his journey off with business studies then followed his passion for wine. He courageously acquired 2 hectares of often-overlooked parcels—many unplanted and not south-facing, deemed less desirable by the older generation. Yet, with rising temperatures, Thibaud’s bold gamble is paying off.

Embarking on this thrilling journey, Thibaud embraces the challenge of cultivating one of France’s steepest vineyards using organic farming and natural winemaking techniques. His approach, still quite avant-garde for the region, is paving the way for a new era of winemaking excellence.

To supplement the tiny production from his own land, Thibaud sources grapes from the iconic Gerald Oustric of Le Mazel in Ardèche, France.

We have received three exquisite cuvées in very limited quantities:

Terra: A stunning blend of 95% Syrah lifted by 5% Viognier and Marsanne. Imagine black currant and cherries paired with pepper, and pencil shavings. Refined and elegant tannins matched with juicy fruit and a precise finish.

La Canuse: A truly unique red wine crafted from 85% Viognier macerated with 15% Syrah from Côte-Rôtie for 15 days, aged in amphoras. Think blood orange paired with raspberries and strawberries spiced with elderflower, mango, and lychee. Complex, round, with a long vibrant finish.

Pierre Taillèe: Grapes for this cuvée come from Thibaud’s parcels, one in the St-Joseph appellation and the other across the Rhône River. A massal selection of Syrah, 50% whole cluster, aged in demi-muids for 11 months. Packed with bright damson, black currant, and pepper, it’s dense, intense, multilayered, and mineral.

Explore Thibaud’s inspiring journey and taste his innovative wines on Monday the 24th of June at Ducksoup Soho.

Introducing - Etienne Seignovert | Ardèche | France 🇫🇷

Meet Etienne Seignovert, the brilliant young winemaker from the enchanting Saint-Barthélemy-Le-Plain near the Doux valley. Leaving behind his family’s restaurant legacy, Etienne dived into the world of wine, sharpening his skills at the esteemed Domaine Gouffier in Burgundy. Fast forward to 2020, and he’s back on his family’s farm, crafting his debut vintage and making waves in the underground wine community!

Etienne’s vision is a beautiful blend of polyculture and agroforestry, utilizing the diverse ecosystem of his tree- and hedge-bordered land. His own plots of Syrah, Merlot, Marsanne, Rousanne, and Gamay flourish on the granite terraces of Saint-Barthélemy-le-Plain and Tournon-sur-Rhône, perched at 300-500 meters above sea level. In addition to these small plots, he sources most of his grapes from friends and esteemed vintners in St. Joseph, Ardèche, and Savoie, all adhering to organic farming principles.

We’re excited to announce a limited release of Etienne’s unique Vin de France and Saint-Joseph wines from the 2021 and 2022 vintage. Each bottle is a testament to his dedication, showcasing pure fruit expression, gentle extraction, and vibrant, electric flavors bursting with personality.

Hugo Vercasson | Saint-Joseph, Rhône | France 🇫🇷

We’re buzzing to welcome the incredibly talented Hugo Vercasson to our portfolio! ✨

Born in 1999, Hugo might be young, but he’s already turning heads in the wine world with his amazing knack for crafting Rhône varieties.

Hugo’s story started at Domaine Iserand with Jeff Malsert. In 2021, he set out on his own project, snapping up some steep, high-altitude plots in Arras-sur-Rhône and Eclassan, down in the southern part of the Saint-Joseph appellation.

By 2022, Hugo harvested his first vintage, rolling out three red wines and one white, totalling about 4,500 bottles. In his cellar, he works magic with amphoras and stainless steel, using whole bunches fermentation for delicate extraction to get those fine tannins and a smooth texture. His wines are all about authenticity, with a vibrant sense of place and youthful energy.

From his debut release, we managed to snag a few cases of his Les Travers. This 100% Syrah is whole-bunch fermented for two weeks, then aged in amphoras. Think blackberries and blueberries, mixed with earthy vibes of wet stones, peppery spices, and a hint of smokiness.

Join us on the 24th at Ducksoup for our trade tasting, where we’ll crack open a bottle of this gem for the first – and probably the last – time. You don’t want to miss this!

Andi Mann | Rheinhessen | Germany 🇩🇪 .mann.e
at

This weekend Andi will be pouring his wines at The Real Wine Fair. Let’s dive into the work of our third winemaker attending.

The name Mann has been around in Rheinhessen for a long time: Andi’s family have lived and worked in Eckelsheim since 1699.

Only an hour’s drive west from Frankfurt to find ourselves at this breathtaking scenery. The slopes of the undulating terrain were formed by the ancient sea, which gives the soil its minerality and versatility. The real treasure, however, is the bedrock underneath, formed by the volcanic porphyry, a silicate-rich granite making this a unique terroir.

When Andi took over the estate he put the main focus on sustainability and restoration of soil life. He believes that creating unique, flawless wines with personality starts with holistic farming. One of the solutions here lies in the presence of his animals. The sheep maintain the green cover and help to fight soil erosion whilst completing the cycle of Flora and Fauna.

During harvest, Andi likes to keep a good balance between skin contact and direct pressed vinification, resulting in wines with pronounced fruit profiles and complex textures. The fermentation happens spontaneously without temperature control in large traditional German oak barrels.

Style-defining elements of the Mann wines are minerality and cool freshness. Andi forever strives for balance and drinkability and succeeds every single time.

This is a unique opportunity to taste and gain first-hand knowledge of his astonishing wines. Make sure not to miss it.

Koppitsch | Burgenland | Austria 🇦🇹

As the Real Wine Fair is fast approaching we take a closer look at our second winemaker visiting - Maria from the Koppitsch family.

Maria and Alex live and work in the heart of Burgenland, North of the lake Neusiedl in Austria. The home of Zweigelt and Grüner Veltliner.

In 2011 they took over 6.3 hectares of land from Alex’s father to farm with a focus on Rudolf Steiner’s biodynamic principles and make every effort to provide the vineyards with what they need in the sight of a holistic approach

The soil composition in the Neusiedle area is a mixture of clay, limestone, gravel and schist that have been transported by rivers in the last 2 Million years before the lake formed its current shape.

In the cellar the message is equally clear: “We make natural wine. Hence, we reject all forms of artificial additives”. Fermentation always starts spontaneously, without temperature control. “We craft natural wine with joy, tickle, complexity, honesty and soul!”

We will be touring the UK with Maria next week; catch us at:

- Friday 26th
- Saturday 27th
Sunday - Monday 28th-29th
