Daniel Sage & Jordi Torgue
Adam Contre Le Beefsteack 2020

Ardèche Pinot Noir, here the grapes come from the vineyards of Les Deux Terres in the south. Owing to the warm vintage the fruit is as ripe and brimming as you'd expect, but still with those ever-present lifted aromatics that we associate with Daniel's wine. Find out more.

Black Mountain
Col Fondo White NV

Bright, zippy English sparkler with mouth-watering acidity and fresh, green notes of elderflower and orchard fruits. As its name suggests, the wine is made in the Italian 'col fondo' style - meaning to leave the sediment from the fermentation in the bottle, giving the wine texture and haze. Find out more.

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.

Offbeat
Wild Juice Chase 2021/22

Hampshire Lambrusco? No, not something we thought we'd find ourselves writing either - but here we are! Offbeat embrace the experimental, so there is little to compare this too, but keep the Lambrusco reference in mind - it has that tart, freshly-picked bramble berry feel, with keen acids, so one could enjoy it in much the same way.
