A big thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday for our summer tasting in Zurich. It was a stinking hot day 🔥 but thankfully not inside. Grateful for the air con, the good chats and the curious palates who came to taste with us. We can't wait to do it again! Here's some pics from the day. Thanks 🍷

Back in stock and making us happy 😊 - our much loved Panorámico Clarete Rosé. Just arrived in time for tomorrow’s tasting in Zürich. Old vine Viura & Grenache, fermented in concrete eggs, aged on lees. This latest vintage is even better - beautifully textured, perfect balanced between flavour and freshness, and still that same gorgeous colour. We can’t wait to pour it tomorrow!

People sometimes ask if we do pairing recommendations or custom boxes. Yes, we do. And it happens a lot. Yesterday, Mike emailed: 'Can you sort me a BBQ pack, please?' No wine specifics. Just 6 bottles. Total trust.

Knowing he loves Spanish reds 🍷, enjoys smoking meat and grilling jerk chicken, we curated a box for him with that in mind. And popped a little card with some pairing tips inside. We love creating boxes like these 😊. Mike's sorted. Summer's better with good wine! 🍷

Just in - a new red from one of our Loire Valley Producers - Domaine du Haut Bourg. We’d forgotten how good a cab from this area can be!

It’s a blend - Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Juicy red and black fruit - cherries, raspberries, blackberries, a little plum - all wrapped up in a fresh, smooth finish.

An effortlessly drinkable red from two brothers who mostly make whites (but this is their little secret). We look forward to pairing it with some smoked ribs and burgers. It’s a great wine for BBQs and casual dinners.

Chenin Blanc: The quiet over-achiever. Dry, Sweet, Still or Sparkling. Fresh & zippy. Or rich and layered. It pairs with pretty much everything. And tastes great young or aged. Today is day. (We'd drink it any day). If you're curious to explore, check out our discovery pack. A special for this weekend only. Cheers!

Tasted, and loved, in Mosel. A dry Riesling with a twist: blended with hops!

Interesting, innovative and refreshing. This is by Weingut Meierer, a boutique winery in Mosel. One of those unexpected gems that encourages you to keep exploring off the beaten path.

Thank you for your hospitality, Matthias and Sabrina.

For years, I thought German Riesling was just sugary sweet. We’ll blame cheap casks and bad imports in Australia back in the day.

I’d written off a whole grape and a whole region without really knowing much.
Then WSET studies opened my eyes (and my palate). As I learned, German Riesling can be bone dry, citrusy, floral, lean, lusciously sweet and complex.

Visiting Mosel has been on my list ever since. Partly to see those (very) steep slopes and partly to taste the full spectrum of what Riesling can be within the region. We weren't disappointed.

All that to say: First impressions are just that - a first impression. There’s always more to the story… Keep tasting. Keep exploring. And stay open to the surprises!

Curious palates were with us last night 🍷. This was the scene before the games began (we’ll remember to take photos during the actual tasting next time.)

Well done to those who cracked the blind challenge! And equal respect to the curious ones who scanned a sneak peek. Whether a guess or peek, curiosity is what we’re all about😊

Thanks to everyone who joined to sip, swirl and debate all things wine!

We’ll do another round soon … 🥂 🍷

Panorámico Tierroya is not your typical Rioja white. It’s crafted from hand harvested Viura grapes that are grown on tiny old plots in the picturesque Rioja Valley. And we love that the vines are 65+ years old.

It’s a white wine that surprises with its elegance & complexity. Think layers of citrus, white fruit, and stone fruit, with a touch of spice and salinity…. landing close to refined Burgundy.

But there’s more to the story. Within these dramatic landscapes lies a bold project that challenges convention.

Panorámico isn’t just a winery. It’s an ‘atelier’, as they proudly call themselves. A workshop where Daniel Rodríguez and Alejandro Estebas revive forgotten vineyards (Majuelos), studying their unique microclimates and crafting wines that speak of a place with soul.

They could have followed tradition. Instead, they chose a different path: to craft one of a kind wines, in small batches, defying expectations. Their approach is bold, modern and refreshing!

This isn’t your traditional Rioja. It’s something special—limited, handcrafted, and worth discovering. Come and taste it with us on May 22.
