W**es of the week 🌸💐

You’re a thoughtful bunch, gifting bottles that can be stored and opened to celebrate life’s milestones many years into the future. Not all w**es can hold their nerve as the abundant fruit of youth fades - acidity, tannin and alcohol are what helps them travel a longer path, picking up trinkets of new flavours as they go. That’s why Riesling (acidity), Mourvèdre (tannin) and Nebbiolo (both) so often get the nod, and why fortified w**es like Madeira (alcohol, sugar) are seemingly indestructible.

Our W**es of the Week are built to last.

Thanks to Rebel Rebel Florist for providing the gorgeous backdrops to our bottle shots this week. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the Tufnell Park neighbourhood!

🍷

Foundi Estate Xinomavro 2020 Naoussa Greece
Some people say Xinomavro is a dead ringer for Nebbiolo and it certainly ages beautifully. Aggressively tannic as a youngster, this w**e will eventually come into its own with cured meat, anise and dried rose petals unfurling for years.

Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Kabinett trocken 'Mutter Anna' 2025
Like many Rieslings, the eye-watering acidity on this baby is almost too much when it’s young, but its time-bomb of flavour will eventually explode with lime blossom and grapefruit without ever losing its mineral freshness.

Barbeito Malvasia Reserva, Madeira
This style of w**e has been forged in the heat of the sun and fortified with the fire of alcohol, it will probably outlive us all and still be whispering sweetly as we sleep.

Spotlighting our newest import, Domaine Denis Fouquerand et Fils, Burgundy 🍷

Over the summer, while you sipped rosé and crisp white w**es, your humble w**e merchants have been busy working behind the scenes, shipping new and exciting w**es that capture the spirit.

Some discoveries come by word of mouth; you find yourself in a w**e region, in good company and someone slides a glass of something 'you must try' in front of you. You fall deeply in love at the first sip and order a pallet! At other times more leg-work is required. You wander round for days on end at huge w**e fairs, packed with all manner of producers, all hoping to flog you their wares. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

It was at Millesime BIO in Montpellier earlier this year that Daniel happily discovered Domaine Denis Fouquerand et fils from Burgundy. With 18 hectares of vines spread principally across the Hautes-Côtes and around Beaune, overlooked by a magnificent castle.

We get asked for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the shops all the time, and the Jurassic slopes of Burgundy are where one can find some of the best examples. However, the concept of “good value” and Burgundy rarely go hand in hand these days. It is off the beaten track, in places like the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune that exciting w**es and exciting value can be found. Situated just above the famous village of Puligny-Montrachet these higher altitude vineyards are experiencing longer ripening seasons, with cooler nights and warmer days (ideal for the production of high quality grapes) thanks to climate change. As a result, the best w**es combine Burgundy’s luxurious textures with much-needed freshness and energy.

These are a fantastic addition to our range and a must for all lovers of Burgundy. In advance of these landing in the shops in a few weeks’ time we are running a special introductory offer, making these already great value w**es an exceptional proposition for your cellar and dinner table.

Head to our website to get 10% off six bottles or more. You’ll also find a pre-mixed case of 12 with two bottles of each at 15% off. For 15% off 12 or more bottles, you can visit us in store.

Santé!

With just a handful of tickets to spare on our October tastings, we are shining a light one of Greenwich's upcoming evenings, La Mancha to the Moors.

We’ve visited Northern Spain and we’ve explored the Pyrenees, so it’s about time that we ventured further south and got ourselves some winter sun. The vast scorching plains of La Mancha, made famous in Don Quixote, offer up ripe, earthy Garnacha that goes down very smoothly indeed.

If you’re into flavourful, complex whites and rich, smoky reds then this is the tasting for you - in the depths of October, let’s warm ourselves with w**es baked in the Spanish sun!

Head online to our Eventbrite page to book, or alternatively drop us a message or a comment below and we can share the booking link!

15th October, 7:30pm, Theatre of W**e Greenwich.

¡Salud!

We are thrilled to announce the winner of our Bordeaux blind tasting in Blackheath. 🍷

Only four people correctly guessed the hidden w**e: Murets de Mez 2024, £12.00, well done to you if guessed correctly.

We can only have one winner on the magnum, but to spread the cheer, we are offering a 10% discount on a case of six for a limited time only. Pop in store for more information.

Happy Bordeaux w**e month from all of us at Blackheath.

Tonight in Blackheath, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Schloss Johannisberg for an intimate tasting, across a wide range of their cuvées.

A night of true Riesling appreciation.

Hortus × Theatre of W**e

What a lovely evening.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our first collaboration with Theatre of W**e. Great w**es, delicious cheese, plenty of conversation and a chance to browse the shop after hours.

Here’s a little look back at the evening. If you missed it, don’t worry… there’ll be more to come.
