ABRACADABRA
Day Glow Colour Corp 2021

Made over the same base wine you'll find in her other cuvée, Acquex, here lifted with a blend of ripe, textural Roussanne in the mix. This brings the addition of some peachy stone fruit to all the red berries of the Cinsault. As if often the case when blending white grapes with red, there is a fluid, luminous quality to the wine.

Cap de Nit
Vermell 2022

A very light red, or a deep rosado depending on your inclination, this is an unusual Spanish wine made from an obscure grape named Girò. It is native to Alicante, but has also found its way over to Sardinia, where it is more prevalent. This is a very modern take on an ancient varietal. Find out more.

Domaine de l'Octavin
Corvée de Trou Trou 2020

A stunning example of this highly Jura-specific red grape. The wine gives off the most wonderfully exotic cinnamon and toasted peppercorn aromas, which float above a delicate, silky body of red cherry and forest berry fruits. Truly singular stuff and from a lauded cult producer with a deft, gentle hand. Find out more.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Ostara' 2022

A plush, glossy wine with bright aromas of cherry and raspberry, both fresh and confected, over a compact body of these gateaux-like fruits, with a subtle framboise-esque almond note hovering just out of shot. A judicious balance of grip and crunch to the finish keeps things feeling clear-cut and pure, working its magic most effectively when served with a brisk chill. Find out more.

Antonio Gismondi
Baciami Ancora 2022

Big aromas evoke powdery parma violets and rosewater. On the palate this sleekly-textured wine gives a sort of juicy cherry cola character, albeit with a herbaceous, strawberry liquorice lilt. A playful fruit-bomb of a wine, like nothing we have tasted before! Find out more.

Mas Coutelou
Couleurs Réunies 2021

Petite Nature
Sorcières 2022

This is resolutely a red wine, despite 50% of the grapes being white, such is the influence of the Syrah. The Chardonnay and Viognier keep things delightfully silky and fluid, but the red grape provides a huge aromatic lift, that somehow seems to carry itself through into the palate, which is dense with dark blackcurrant fruits and juicy, saline black olive.

Highly unconventional Margaret River stylings here with this descriptively-named red and white mix of Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz.

Si Si Macabeu 2021

A rosado made from the white grape Macabeu? Si, si! The truth is that the skins from a pressing of Garnacha and Syrah have found their way into the tank and, a little bit like swishing a paintbrush around in water, their red pigment has seeped into the wine in the most delicate way. Find out more.
