This is a delicious and youthful Mezcal, made from eight-year-old agave Espadín which is cooked using an underground oven fuelled by wood from local trees. It's then fermented for 7-30 days (depending on temperature and time of year) and double distilled in a small copper still. It's fruity and grassy, with notes of peach, freshly mowed lawn, and subtle woodsmoke. Grab it for your home bar, because it's fantastic for cocktails! (700ml) 42% ABV *This Mezcal is packaged with a variety of different artworks for the front label, each designed by contemporary Mexican artists. As such, your bottle may look different to the one photographed - the same delicious contents lie within each bottle, though!

Mezcal Verde Momento 42% 700ml

This trust Italian red is the perfect companion for making a slow-cooked Ragù. Throw a few glugs into the sauce, and then splash some in your glass as you sit back and let time work its magic! Ripe dark cherries interlaced with cedar wood and fragrant dried herbs alongside rich, full tannins.

Cantina Tollo Nativo Terre Di Chieti Sangiovese 2019

País yourself, they said… good advice for this Chilean delight which seems to disappear from the glass with minimal effort! Gently silty, smoky notes wrap around vibrant raspberry and fresh strawberry flavours, with a lingering earthy spice. Effortless enjoyment!

This delightful Riesling has been gently vacuum-distilled at low temperatures to remove the alcohol, whilst still preserving the delicate aromatics and flavours within. Lemon zest, makrut leaf, and quartz-like mineral notes with lovely freshness and length.

Having only been established as recently as 2oo2, Central Otago's Burn Cottage is already a New Zealand institution. Marquis & Dianne Sauvage purchased the unplanted property from sheep farmers and set to work planning their vineyard, which has been farmed biodynamically since the beginning and overlooked by head winemaker, Ted Lemon. Positioned in a sheltered bowl in the foothills of the dramatic Mount Pisa, it's a magnificent site for growing vines, and the quality of these wines well and truly speak for themselves. Burn Cottage's flagship Pinot Noir is often touted as one of the best examples of Pinot Noir outside Burgundy. Beautifully complex with a focussed intensity, it has a perfumed nose of red fruits, dried lavender, and gentle wood smoke followed by notes of fleshy cherries, blood orange, alpine herbs, and dusty spice with soft acidity and elegant, velvety tannins. It's a wine that's best experienced after some time in the cellar, although it will certainly reward those who choose to drink it now.

Burn Cottage Pinot Noir 2018

Allies' Assemblage Pinot Noir is an aptly named blend of multiple sites throughout the Mornington Peninsula, offering a complete snapshot into the diversity of this small wine region. The 2020 vintage was cool and wet, resulting in reduced yields and longer ripening time. As such, this vintage is more delicate and restrained than previous years, with tart red currant, rhubarb, fragrant orange blossom, and cinnamon spice with a gentle dusting of savoury tannin providing lovely texture.

Having only been established as recently as 2oo2, Central Otago's Burn Cottage is already a New Zealand institution. Marquis & Dianne Sauvage purchased the unplanted property from sheep farmers and set to work planning their vineyard, which has been farmed biodynamically since the beginning and overlooked by head winemaker, Ted Lemon. Positioned in a sheltered bowl in the foothills of the dramatic Mount Pisa, it's a magnificent site for growing vines, and the quality of these wines well and truly speak for themselves. Cromprising of 65% Riesling and 35% Grüner Veltiner, this is a delicate and complex wine. Both varieties underwent a short skin maceration separately (with the Riesling left as whole bunches) before being blended and fermented together in neutral oak, where they remained to mature for a further 11 months. Enticing aromas of lime cordial, chamomile, and apricots leap from the glass, with white peach, butterscotch, and earthy spice on the palate. There's a little chewy, chalky tannin giving the wine some texture and depth, with citrusy acidity adding gorgeous length and persistence.

Like your Argentinian Malbec with a bit of bounce? Well, dear friend, look no further. This is a fresh and unoaked Malbec that's oozing with juicy plum and raspberry confectionary with a light dusting of spice and crunchy acidity. Ripper wine for the barbecue dinner table!

Matias Riccitelli Hey Malbec! 2020

Piedmont's lesser-known white variety, Timorasso, is currently experiencing a much-deserved revival after it fell into obscurity around the mid-20th century. This is an excellent example of how good this variety can be, and will strike an emotional chord with lovers of Chablis. Pouring a light straw yellow, it has a delicate bouquet of citrus peel and acacia flower that leads into a textural palate of lemon peel, honey blossom, dried hay, and mineral salts with a gentle richness and fresh acidity.

Giacomo Boveri Piccolo Derthona Timorasso 2019

A variety most often encountered in Sherry, this is a beautiful and unique example of Palomino. There’s a light oxidative note lending a savoury, seaspray touch, before fresh jasmine and yellow citrus unfold on the palate. Faint honey notes & a little waxy edge.

Bodegas Cota 45 UBE Miraflores Palomino 2019

This is a real live wire! Zippy citrus fruit at every turn, with the cut and thrust of lemon zest and lime leaf. There’s some rounded orchard fruit in the mix too, with green apple skin adding a little grip. Great length and line. Supercharged Sauvy B!

Yering Farm Rabbit Run Sauvignon Blanc 2020

‘Corriente’ translates to ‘current’ which is ironic, because this is one of our current favourite wines! See what we did there? Made with fruit from six local growers under the same instructions. Sarsaparilla, cherry cola, lots of red and purple flowers with fresh acidity and tart cherry edges.

Telmo Rodriguez Corriente Vino de Cosecheros Tempranillo 2018

This is a fresh and zesty Fiano hailing from the variety's spiritual homeland in southern Italy, Campania. Nashi pear, citrus peel, subtle beeswax and crushed rock minerals with a lovely lick of saline acidity. Pair with anything seafood related!

Capolino Perlingeri Fiano 2018 Nembo

Despite what the name suggests, this Riesling is full of life! Moving on quickly before that terrible joke registers, this Riesling has lovely concentration and purity, with zippy citrus, lime leaf, wet flint, and floral notes alongside some chalky, pithy texture.

Gaelic Cemetery White Hut Riesling 2020

Get a load of this! This intriguing wine is made from a plot of Kyoho table grapes which were planted at Bella Ridge's Swan Valley vineyard in the 1980s. The grape is highly prized in Japan due to its intensely exotic flavours, high sugar content, and thick skin which allows for the pulp to be easily squeezed out. The Kyoho Red is aged in French oak barrels, giving it gentle tobacco leaf and spice undertones which support a generous palate of sour cherry, redcurrant, and pomegranate. For the wine geeks watching at home, it sits somewhere between an old-school Rioja and a Jura red.

Bella Ridge Estate Kyoho Red 2019

From one of the greatest sherry bodegas in all the land! This is incredibly aromatic, delicate, and complex, with roasted almonds and a long mineral aftertaste. (375ml) 15% ABV

Valdespino Inocente Fino Sherry 375ml

Primitivo Collantes' Socaire was one of the first examples of Blancos de Albariza within the sherry zone. Bridging the gap between unfortified white wines and biologically-aged sherries, it is made from Palomino grapes which have been fermented for 24 months in neutral oak butts which had previously contained Fino sherry. Although the casks were kept topped up to prevent oxidation, the microflora present in the barrels has imparted only the most subtle nutty nuances. Preserved lemon, yellow stonefruit, jasmine flower, and orange caramel, with hints of freshly churned butter that help to balance out the wine's chalky, saline finish.

Primitivo Collantes Socaire Vino de Pasto Palomino 2018

Beautiful Mornington Gris, which gets its lovely pink hue from a few hours on skins (a technique called 'Ramato', hailing from scenic Friuli in Italy. Aromatically lifted, with mandarin blossom, dried fruit, baked apple, lemon, quince, and sweet baking spice.

Vino Aperto Pinot Gris Ramato Mornington 2019

It's no secret that we have a bit of a crush on Fiano (see what we did there?). Vino Aperto's Fiano is a slightly richer style that's sure to find allegiance with lovers of Chardonnay. Red apple skin, peach, and stone fruit, with some lovely palate weight and fresh acidity. Artwork by Ben Pell for Blackhearts & Sparrows

Barnaby Flanders left Mornington Peninsula's Allies Wines in 2003 to start Garagiste, aiming to explore every nook and cranny that this small yet diverse region offers. With the help of Cam Marshall, the pair craft a wide range of cuvées that explore the sub-regionality that the 'Ninsh offers, working mainly with Burgundian heavy hitters Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The 2018 Terre de Feu Pinot Noir is a powerhouse of a wine, made with 100% whole bunches from the Merricks vineyard and split between two barrels: one new and one seasoned. It's a structured and powerful expression of Mornington Peninsula Pinot, showing red cherry, orange essence, charred cedar, and green peppercorn spice with firm tannins and well-balanced acidity.
