HALF-TERM. FIZZ FRIDAY. THIS WEEK, WE'RE GUNNING FOR G&T!

Sometimes Friday calls for Ch*****ne. Sometimes it calls for a really good gin and tonic.

And we've got something new to celebrate.

Two new expressions from Rock Rose Gin, joining the ever-popular Original from Dunnet Bay Distillers in Caithness, way up on Scotland's north coast.

🍸 Meet the Rock Rose family

🌹 Rock Rose Original
Floral rose and cardamom on the nose, followed by juicy berry fruit, bright juniper and a lovely burst of sea buckthorn. Smooth sherbet lemon lingers on the finish.

🍊 Smoked Orange Edition
A rather intriguing combination of sweet orange and smoky Lapsang Souchong tea, lifted by lemon verbena and tangerine sage. Think citrus with a subtle bonfire twist!

🌊 Citrus Coastal Edition
Inspired by the Caithness coastline, this brings together bright lemon and juniper with locally foraged kelp and a touch of liquorice salt. Fresh, zesty and gently saline, with a lovely taste of the coast.

🌿 A little gin know-how

Rock Rose is built around carefully chosen botanicals, including locally foraged sea buckthorn and Rhodiola rosea - the latter also known as rose root.

And a classification point: gin isn't governed by an AOC or w**e-style appellation. To be called gin, it must have a recognisable, predominant juniper character and be bottled at a minimum of 37.5% ABV. All three Rock Rose expressions come in at 41.5%.

🍽️ The perfect Friday serve

Try the Original with a classic tonic and toasted rosemary; Smoked Orange with tonic, orange peel and sage; or Citrus Coastal with tonic, grapefruit and a few goji berries.

Add smoked salmon, seafood, good cheeses, olives or a plate of charcuterie and you've got a rather lovely start to the weekend.

Three distinctive gins. One very good reason to raise a glass.

Let the weekend begin! 🥂

🍂🍷 THE BEST W**ES TO ‘FALL’ FOR THIS AUTUMN | 07

2020 Diamanopetra Red – Diamantakis W**es, Crete, Greece

For our final autumn discovery, we’re travelling to Crete, Greece’s largest island, where centuries of w**emaking tradition meet a new generation of ambitious producers.

And what a way to finish the series.

🍇 Ancient roots. A modern twist.

The Diamanopetra Red from family estate Diamantakis W**es brings together two very different grapes: Mandilari, an indigenous Cretan variety, and Syrah, one of the world’s great international reds.

Mandilari is known for its colour, firm tannins and naturally lively acidity. Syrah brings generous fruit, depth and a characteristic peppery spice. Together, they create a w**e with both Mediterranean character and plenty of personality.

In the glass, expect cherry, plum and blackberry, lifted by violet and crushed black pepper. The palate is rounded and fruit-filled, with structured tannins and vibrant acidity providing balance, followed by a lingering finish with a subtle sweet-spiced impression.

It’s a lovely example of how blending can bring different qualities together: fruit and structure, freshness and richness, local heritage and international influence.

🍂 Why it belongs in your autumn line-up

This is a red with the character to stand up to the season’s more substantial dishes.

Think grilled meats, roast lamb, Mediterranean vegetables or a slow-cooked casserole with a rich, savoury sauce. The tannins provide structure, while the fruit and peppery spice make it a natural partner for food.

And if your w**e rack has become a little too predictable, this is an invitation to explore beyond the usual suspects.

Because discovering great w**e isn’t simply about knowing the famous regions. Sometimes, it’s about finding a remarkable bottle from somewhere you hadn’t thought to look.

Richer. Warmer. Textured.

Seven w**es. Seven different stories. One wonderful season for discovery.

🍷 That’s a wrap on The Best W**es to ‘Fall’ for this Autumn. Which bottle has caught your eye?

🍇🍷 INTERNATIONAL CARIGNAN DAY: TIME TO TAKE THE LEAD!

Every great supporting act deserves a moment in the spotlight. And this International Carignan Day, we’re celebrating a grape that’s stepping out from the shadows!

🍷 2025 Old Vine Carignan – Coquille de Terre, Languedoc, France

Carignan has long played a supporting role in the red blends of southern France, bringing colour, acidity and structure to the mix. But increasingly, w**emakers are giving it centre stage - and the results are well worth discovering.

🌿 A LITTLE GRAPE KNOWLEDGE

Originally from Spain, Carignan found a second home in the sun-drenched vineyards of southern France. It’s naturally high in acidity and can produce deeply coloured w**es with robust tannins, making it a useful blending partner. From carefully tended old vines, however, it can deliver depth, concentration and character all of its own.

🍇 MEET THE STAR

This expressive Languedoc red is crafted by w**emaker Marilyn Lasserre, from old vines growing on sun-exposed, pebble- and limestone-rich soils.

Deep purple-red in the glass, it opens with blackberry aromas and a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate is dense and velvety, full of ripe berry fruit, with a smooth structure and a gentle touch of French oak. Around half the w**e spends five months in oak before blending, adding complexity without taking over the show.

The result? A generous, beautifully balanced red that proves Carignan can do more than play second fiddle. From just £11.06 per bottle in a case deal.

🍔 AND WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

Think homemade burgers, roasted meats, charcuterie or rustic pasta. Add some medium-aged cheese and you’ve got a very good reason to open a bottle.

🍊🍷 WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU ORANGES…

Our best-selling orange w**e is BACK IN STOCK! And no, before you ask, not a single orange was harmed in the making of it. 😉

🍷 2025 Vin Orange – Frédéric Garrabou, Languedoc, France

Orange w**e might sound like a passing trend, but the technique has ancient roots. And if you’ve yet to try it, this is a lovely place to start.

🍇 SO, WHAT ACTUALLY IS ORANGE W**E?

Think of it as white w**e made a little more like red. Rather than separating the juice from the grape skins straight away, the w**emaker leaves them together for a period of time. The skins contribute colour, extra flavour and tannins, giving the w**e a little more texture and grip than your typical white.

Frédéric Garrabou brings generations of family vine-growing experience to this Languedoc beauty, blending Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Muscat to create a w**e that’s characterful without being challenging.

🍊 WHAT’S IN THE GLASS?

Expect a pale, clear orange hue, with enticing aromas of bitter orange, dried flowers and a gentle nuttiness. On the palate, fresh tropical fruit meets a subtle hint of spice, bright acidity and a soft, tea-like tannic texture. It’s vibrant, beautifully balanced and finishes with plenty to think about.

🍽️ WHAT TO EAT WITH IT?

Serve lightly chilled and let it work its magic alongside aged cheeses — Roquefort or Époisses, anyone? It’s also a terrific partner for lightly spiced poultry, especially chicken in a creamy morel mushroom sauce.

And if you’re wondering whether orange w**e is a bit too adventurous for you, don’t let the name put you off. This is an approachable introduction to a fascinating style, with plenty of flavour and personality.

🍷 Back on our shelves and ready to discover. If you loved it last time, you know what to do!

🍂🍷 THE BEST W**ES TO ‘FALL’ FOR THIS AUTUMN | 06

2023 Condrieu ‘Amaraze’ – Domaine Hervé Richard, Rhône Valley, France

White w**e with a little more weight? Absolutely.

Some whites bring freshness. Others bring texture, richness and layers of flavour that make them every bit as rewarding at the autumn table as a fine red. And then there’s Condrieu – one of the Rhône Valley’s most distinctive white w**e appellations.

Meet our latest w**e to fall for.

🍑 A little Rhône Valley magic.

Made from 100% Viognier, Condrieu is all about aromatic intensity, sumptuous fruit and a beautifully rounded texture.

Expect an inviting combination of ripe apricot, juicy peach, acacia honey and delicate violet, with a long, lingering finish.

During w**emaking, 40% of the w**e is transferred into oak barrels towards the end of fermentation for maturation. This adds another layer of texture and complexity, complementing Viognier’s naturally generous fruit.

The family estate works steeply sloping vineyards around Chavanay, in the northern Rhône. The slopes are too steep to work by machine, so the vines must be tended by hand – painstaking work that helps produce w**es with a real sense of place.

🍂 Why it belongs in your autumn line-up

With its full-bodied character and rich stone-fruit flavours, this is a white that can stand up to more substantial dishes without losing its elegance.

Think roast chicken, pork with apricot, creamy poultry dishes or gently spiced autumn vegetables. It’s also a wonderful choice for a special dinner when you want something a little different from the usual red.

And if you enjoy textured whites, this is a chance to explore something beyond the familiar: more perfumed, more exotic and unmistakably Rhône.

Richer. Warmer. Textured.

🌧️🍷 PORT SEASON IS OFFICIALLY OPEN! 🍷🔥

With the rain pouring down and the wind howling, I reckon we’ve earned a spot by the log fire and a glass of something warming. And what better way to welcome proper Port weather than with a classic from the Douro Valley?

🍷 Six Grapes Reserve Port – Graham’s, Douro Valley, Portugal

Rich, generous and gloriously full of fruit, Six Grapes is Graham’s signature Reserve Port — and a brilliant bottle to have ready when the weather turns decidedly British.

🍇 SIX GRAPES… WHAT’S THE STORY?

Back in the 19th century, Graham’s w**emakers marked barrels with grape symbols to rate the quality of each Port. Six grapes signified w**es with the structure, complexity and balance to have Vintage Port potential.

In the early 1900s, Graham’s began bottling selected w**es under the Six Grapes name. The tradition continues today, bringing a taste of that Vintage Port character in a bottle that’s ready to enjoy now. 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

🍒 WHAT’S IN THE GLASS?

Expect a deep, dark red colour and seductive aromas of ripe plums and cherries, with generous dark-fruit flavours, good structure and a long, lingering finish. It’s rich and satisfying, but with the freshness to keep you coming back for another sip.

🧀🍫 WHAT TO PAIR IT WITH?

A mature cheese board, a wedge of Stilton, or a rich dark chocolate dessert. Or simply pour a glass, settle into your favourite chair and let the weather do its worst outside.

One final tip: Port doesn’t need to be served piping hot! Graham’s recommends serving Six Grapes slightly chilled, between 12–16°C, to let all that lovely fruit shine.

🍷 PORT SEASON IS HERE - AND WE’RE READY FOR IT!

Explore our collection of more than 70 Ports at Baythorne W**es. Whether you’re a seasoned Port drinker or just discovering the pleasures of a proper winter warmer, there’s a bottle waiting for you. 🔥

HALF-TERM. TWO STORMS. ONE VERY GOOD REASON FOR GREAT FIZZ.

Two storms heading our way, half-term plans in disarray, but Friday is still Friday!

My suggestion? Hunker down, get something delicious on the table and open a bottle of 2025 Col di Manza Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry – Perlage, Veneto, Italy.

🍾 A little Prosecco know-how

Not all Prosecco is created equal.

Col di Manza comes from the hills around Valdobbiadene, within the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG. This more tightly defined appellation covers the historic hillside vineyards between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, where steep slopes and careful vineyard work are central to the region's identity.

Perlage is a producer with a longstanding commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Col di Manza showcases the Glera grape, the variety at the heart of Prosecco, in a style that balances delicate fruit, freshness and elegance.

And here's a little sparkling-w**e quirk: Extra Dry is actually sweeter than Brut. Its gentle softness complements the fresh orchard fruit beautifully, while lively acidity keeps everything in balance.

✨ In the glass

Pale straw yellow, with fine, persistent bubbles. Green apple, ripe pear and white peach mingle with acacia blossom and citrus. Fresh and lively, with a rounded texture, a subtle mineral edge and a clean, refreshing finish.

🍽️ The half-term table

Think smoked salmon blinis, crispy calamari, prawns, charcuterie or a cheeseboard with soft cheeses. For something warmer, try a quiche, savoury cheese and onion tart, mushroom risotto or lightly spiced Asian dishes.

And if the weather really does keep us indoors? A bowl of something salty, a good film and a chilled glass of Prosecco sound like an excellent plan. 🥂

🍷 In The Know

2016 Grossi Laüe Riesling Grand Cru – Famille Hugel, Alsace

Some w**es make an impression. Others get people talking.

At our recent Fine W**e Discovery Dinner, this was the w**e that prompted the biggest reaction at my table - a clear favourite on the night.

It’s exactly the sort of bottle we love sharing at Baythorne: characterful, fascinating and capable of surprising even seasoned w**e drinkers.

🍇 A little Alsace know-how

The Hugel family has made w**e in Riquewihr since 1639. Grossi Laüe means “great terroirs” in the Alsatian dialect, the name of the family’s prestigious range.

This 100% Riesling comes from Schoenenbourg Grand Cru, the celebrated hillside overlooking Riquewihr. Its marl-rich soils, with gypsum and dolomite, help shape the w**e’s structure and distinctive mineral character.

A useful classification detail: Alsace Grand Cru is an official appellation covering designated vineyard sites. Schoenenbourg is one of the region’s historic Grand Crus, particularly renowned for Riesling.

✨ In the glass

Bright golden yellow, with ripe citrus, white peach, yellow apple and delicate white flowers.

With a little air, candied lemon, dried herbs and the intriguing petrol-like note often found in mature Riesling emerge.

Dry, concentrated and beautifully textured, the palate balances ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. The exceptionally long finish brings lemon zest, saline freshness and delicate spice.

A decade on, the 2016 vintage offers wonderful complexity without losing the freshness that makes great Riesling so compelling.

🍽️ At the October table

Try it with pan-seared scallops, lobster or turbot; roast chicken with aromatic herbs; or pork with apples and mustard. For an Alsatian touch, pair it with onion tart or mature Comté cheese. Its freshness also works beautifully with gently spiced Asian cuisine.

⚓🍷 PASS THE PORT - IT’S TRAFALGAR DAY! 🍷⚓

With the rain lashing down and autumn properly getting into its stride, I reckon we need no further excuse to open the first Port of the season!

Today, 21 October, marks Trafalgar Day, commemorating Admiral Lord Nelson’s famous victory over the French and Spanish fleets in 1805. The tradition lives on in Royal Navy Trafalgar Night dinners.

🍷 PORT IN 60 SECONDS

Port is a fortified w**e from Portugal’s Douro Valley. Grape spirit is added during fermentation, stopping it early and preserving natural grape sweetness. The result? A rich, warming w**e with a little extra strength.

From youthful Ruby and fruity Reserve Port to nutty Tawny and the great, ageworthy Vintage Ports, there’s a style for every occasion. Try it with a cheeseboard, dark chocolate, a rich pudding, or simply a comfortable sofa and a rainy evening.

⚓ OUR FEATURED PORT:

🍷 2010 Quinta da Cavadinha Vintage Port, Warre’s, Douro, Portugal

From one of Warre’s distinguished vineyard estates, this single-quinta Vintage Port captures the character of a special site in the Pinhão Valley.

Expect generous plum and dark fruit, fragrant floral notes, subtle cocoa and peppery tannins, with bottle age bringing everything into lovely balance. A lingering finish with hints of tea leaf makes this a particularly intriguing glass.

Quinta da Cavadinha’s higher-altitude vineyards are known for producing Ports with freshness, elegance and fine aromatics - a lovely counterpoint to the richness of Vintage Port.

🧀 THE PERFECT PARTNERS

Try it with mature Cheddar, Stilton, walnuts or dark chocolate. And if you’re planning a traditional Sunday roast, remember that Port has a long-standing place at the table after the beef!

🍷 MORE THAN 70 PORTS TO EXPLORE

From accessible everyday favourites to bottles worth celebrating, there’s plenty to discover at Baythorne W**es.

So, as the evenings draw in, raise a glass to Nelson, the Douro and the simple pleasure of a very good Port.

And remember the naval rule: pass it to the left! ⚓🥃
