Sustainably farmed wines direct from family-run Vineyards to The Wine Buff Nationwide. Expert advice and tastings on artisan wines for every occasion.
Terras de Lantaño Albariño is the big brother of Ruta 49.
The grapes used are from the oldest vineyards in the winery, harvested manually with careful selection in the field.
Golden yellow in colour, fruity aroma resting on a floral background, and a fresh, complex flavour that leaves a long fruity and pleasant aftertaste.
Ideal with fish, shellfish, chicken, soft cheese or as an aperitif.
The Mâconnais is best known as a source of good value white wines.
Domaine La Feuillarde is one of the finest estates in St-Veran created in 1934 and now extends over 12 hectares on southwest-facing slopes. The Thomas family has been estate-bottling the majority of their production since 1987, specialising in St-Veran.
Lucien Thomas, the owner and winemaker, produces his St-Veran from old-vines planted around a remarkable, single-block, south south-west facing amphitheatre vineyard.
The vineyards are ploughed, the vines severely pruned, and yields carefully monitored by cluster-thinning. Thomas seeks the fullest expression of fruit and terroir.
His wines have been regularly acclaimed by the critics for their focus, purity and intensity. As early as 2004, The Wine Spectator did a full page feature profile on Lucien Thomas, applauding his exceptional technique and the richness and purity of his wines.
It is bright with a light gold hue. Aromas of peach and lemon follow in the crisp palate. Well balanced, with a mixture of white fruit and a hint of flint.

Father’s Day Gift Idea!
A silky, soft Fleurie with real precision, lively acidity and a juicy red cherry finish.
New In
A truly elegant Pouilly-Fumé with a sunny character.
Notes of peach and apricot on the nose, very smooth on the palate. Flavours of grapefruit and lemon, and a fresh finish with great length.
Best served as an aperitif, and goes perfectly with fish and shellfish.
Midweek treat🏺
Fresh, harmonious, rounded, with balanced acidity and a refreshing aftertaste with fruity nuances and a hint of honey.
Xarel-lo
Charr ell what?
Xarel-lo is a quite thick skinned grape variety from Catalunya. It’s most commonly associated with Cava, where it’s part of the traditional three-grape blend along with Parellada and Macabeo (Viura).
It’s a pretty adaptable variety, tolerating a wide range of soil types and climatic conditions.
It complements the richness of the Macabeo with high acidity.
And Cava is Spain’s answer to Champange. More affordable, so you can feel luxurious without braking the bank.
New arrival!!
Cracking dry Pinot Gris, pear, apricot, peach. Medium bodied with a spice twist. Pair with white meats, shellfish and creamy fish dishes.

Did you know that among many exclusive wines, The Wine Buff also hold our own special selection range from vinyards close to our store in Saint-Émilion in France?
Among our Wine Buff selection range is the The Cuvee “Paddy Jack”. This is a blend made in honour of Founder Paddy O Flynn’s brother Jack, who was a fond beer drinker, but never liked the vino. Paddy introduced him to the wine of Jean Francois Meynard and he loved the “La Bouree” , his one and only favourite wine. This blend is made by Paddy and Jean Francois in Jack’s honour, hence the name “Paddy Jack”, which also is the name of Paddy’s son.
It’s great quality-price and is already very popular with our customers.
Made by the former New Zealand Winemaker of the Year (2012), Tony Southgate, this Sauvignon Blanc, from Nelson, is the perfect summer wine.
Dry, with gooseberry, blackcurrant leaf and subtle juicy tropical flavours, herbaceous as well with hints of lime. This leaves a clean fresh palate and nicely balanced mouthfeel.
Great with salads, vegetarian burger, fish, or just sitting out in the garden contemplating life.
Pick it up from your nearest Wine Buff.
Three generations working in the vineyard, and making the most food friendly wines.
Fruity and floral nose, citrus freshness with green notes of Sauvignon. Is refreshing and balanced. Feels like a little brother of Sancerre. Great with your Sunday roast, fish, salad, or most vegetarian dishes.
Find in The Wine Buff nationwide.
Finally, a Viognier that you can enjoy all year round, on a sunny day or on a cosy evening.
Fresh and vibrant, aromas of peach, melon and pear. Light, with floral undertones and a crisp, clean finish.

Saturday Treat
A blend of 75% cabernet sauvignon and 25% merlot aged in barriques and unfiltered, today's wine is full-bodied, complex, and quintessential Bordeaux. Aromas of blackcurrants and herbs lead to a palate of cassis, blackberries, and black raspberries, with accents of cedar, brambly earth, and vanilla. Firm yet plaint tannins give the wine structure yet soften with a brief decanting, making the wine drinkable now as well as ageworthy.
Excellent quality for the price.

Rhein Riesling is one of the most noble grape varieties in the world, and Grand Superior is awarded only to those of best quality in Eger.

It’s always a good feeling when you see nature waking up. The Chardonnay is looking good.
Saturday Treat
Deep Red with slight purple reflection. Intense nose of ripe red fruit, cherries and plums.
Very smooth, excellent with red meats, aged cheeses, or on its own.
Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t get better than Sancerre.
Clear, brilliant pale gold hue. Powerful nose with aromatic qualities. Great representative of the limestone-clay soil found in Bué.
Good acidity and roundness, long finish on the palate.
Excellent aperitif, wonderful with fish, and best with the famous local Crotin de Chavignol.
Great barrels are integral part of making great wine.

Fathers Day! If your dad prefers something more full bodied, choose Bordeaux. Rich garnet colour, aromatic nose full of ripe red berry fruit, the intense Merlot is refined by the Cabernet Sauvignon with a slight hint of spice and vanilla. Very well structured and a great length on the finish. Excellent showcasing of the region. #thewinebuff @vignobles.michel.coudroy #bordeaux #lalandedepomerol #giftideas #fathersday
Spoiler alert! No clear winner. The debate between screw cap and cork closures for wine bottles continues to captivate enthusiasts and industry experts alike. Screw caps, known for their convenience and consistency in sealing, prevent oxidation and cork taint, ensuring a fresher taste over time. Conversely, traditional corks offer a sense of ritual and romance, potentially allowing beneficial micro-oxygenation that can enhance the aging process of certain wines. However, corks can sometimes suffer from cork taint, leading to spoilage. Each closure has its proponents, and the choice often depends on the type of wine and personal preference. #thewinebuff #snippets #screwcap #cork #debate #winepreservation

The Kisfiam (“my boy”) is the only certified organic Egri Bikavér (Bull’s Blood). It is characteristic of the blend, with spicy forest fruits, vibrant acidity and medium tannins. Rich, structured and lively. Notes of cherry cobbler, herbs and spices on the nose, with raspberries and zippy grapefruit on the palate and an earthy long finish. Unfiltered and unfined. Blaufrankisch, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. It’s a beautifully balanced wine, one of the favourites of our customers. #thewinebuff @bukolyimarcell_organicwines #redwine #eger #organic #bullsblood #lambchops #kerrylamb #hungarianwine #simplepleasures #alfresco
