As ever, Raphaël & Émélie's Gamay walks the line between supple, smooth elegance and wild-edged earthiness. The oversized bottles make a lot of sense as the wine feels like something to slurp and glug, rather than to sip and pore over - it's nourishing, compelling stuff Find out more.

The warm ripening season of 2021 has imprinted some bold, generous fruit to a wine that can, on occasion, be more angular and austere. There is that restrained suggestion of bonfire smoke permeating the lifted, violet high notes. Dreyer rarely puts a foot wrong. Find out more.

Granitic Gamay a la Bouju coming from two different vineyards in Brouilly and Sarcey. The imprint of the soils are strong; this really is one of those wines that tastes like it has been filtered through stone. B is for banger! Find out more.

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.

This is a blend of their own Gamay with grapes from the Alsace, this time we have Sylvaner & Pinot Blanc joining the party, with everything being macerated together in whole bunches for a week before ageing in foudre barrel. It's a luminous, lifted wine; the white grapes giving a lovely aromatic aspect floating over all the crunchy red fruits. A chiller. Find out more.

Highly unconventional Margaret River stylings here with this descriptively-named red and white mix of Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz. In light, chillable red territory, here the red coulis fruits are elevated with herbaceous vim. Incomparable and all the better for it - if it tastes this good, why not? Find out more.

The 2020 vintage showed a real change of direction for the Lucy M. wines and this Pinot Noir particularly sidesteps the wildness in favour of some real elegance. Pressed very lightly, it shows some delicate, savoury qualities, along with some piercing, herbaceous berry fruits. Find out more.

An even lighter maceration that usual to counter a hot, dry vintage. Supple, elegant blend of 70 year old Mourvèdre and Grenache, fermented and aged in amphora and barrels. Seriously limited quantities on this one this year. Find out more.

One of those beautifully-coloured, luminous wines that results from combining red and white grapes in the vinification. A vintage of compact, crystalline fruits and stony minerals, elevated by a gentle piquancy to the acids. Find out more.

Crazy-underrated Margaret River producer who is making distinctive and delicious wine, resulting from some very thoughtful, irrigation-free vineyard work. Something often hard to avoid in this region. In the absence of any barrel time, a real bomb of herbal blackcurrant fruits explode in the glass. So tasty. Find out more.
