August is well and truly here, and to celebrate having made it this far, we are offering 2 new wines (yes, new entries!) for the month. 🍷 🇫🇷

Le Raconteur is a line of French wines that well shows our ethos: to share great wines at excellent value.
Some may say they are "only Vin de France wines", but we think they deliver well above their weight and the price is an incredible added bonus.

You should definitely come and give them a try!

To close this incredible month of highlighting great German wines (and grape varieties), we focus on Reichsrat's Spatburgunder (AKA Pinot Noir) because it's delicious!

Spatburgunder is the German variant of red Burgundy, although the Reichsrat Von Buhl Spatburgunder is smoother and rounder in taste than its French counterpart, thanks to its 14 months in French oak.
Elegant ruby colour, lively fruit, ripe tannins and a long, sophisticated finish are the strong characteristics of this delightful variety and the wine it produces.
Absolutely fantastic! 🇩🍷😋

Reichsrat's Armand Riesling Kabinett combines elegance and intensity, delicacy and impactful flavour, and sweet fruit matched to vibrant acidity.

Armand was the son of the founder and the man who made the winery the force it is today. This Kabinett shows a fruity apricot nose and a spectacular firework of acidity, minerality on the tongue and a hint of lime and green apple zest.

Fried chicken, fish, Asian cuisine, ripe cheese and spicy sauces are all fantastic accompaniments to an outstanding wine. 🥂🇩

27/07/2025

Last few days to take advantage of our wines of the month!

Today, the light shines on Barton & Guestier Cabernet Sauvignon and its black fruit aromas, round, smooth palate and velvety tannins.

Deliciously unpretentious and perfect for pasta, pizza, grilled meats and cheese. A summer BBQ or fancy picnic. 🍷

26/07/2025

Moving through the scale of rieslings, today we will be focusing on their Riesling trocken (AKA dry).

Its 3 grams of residual sugar make it a completely different glass of wine compared to the Bone Dry (at 0.5gr/litre of residual sugar). We still love it as an aperitif wine or with some light starter dishes.

"White and yellow fruits on the nose, delightfully enticing on the tongue with character and individuality. Pure and zingy with notes of lemon, lime and peach counterbalanced by good acidity." (Reichsrat von Buhl)
Couldn't have said it any better

Prost! 🥂

TODAY IS THE DAY! 🥃

The third batch of Necessary Evil is out and we couldn't be happier to have secured a few bottles 😍

This year's release is a full circle: the finishing cask originally began life with Wire Works whisky, went on to mature Necessary Evil stout at the brewery and then returned to the distillery for one last transformation. A true show of what flavour, local provenance and shared commitment to producing only the best can create.

The stout influence is clear in the glass, with cacao nibs, fresh espresso, milk chocolate and light hints of nuts, while the ex-bourbon brings the creme brulee, baked apple pie and vanilla notes.
The result? A harmonious blend of flavours on the nose and in the palate that makes this whisky a necessary buy (see what we did there? 😂)
Delicious!

Last producer of the month: Reichsrat von Buhl! 🇩🍷

Their bone dry riesling is one of our customers' favourite, so we couldn't not include it in this month's offers and if you tried it, you would know what we're talking about 😋🥂

Riesling's distinctive aromas meet just a hint of flint and minerality, creating a fantastic example of what dry Rieslings could be.

The winery has over 150 years of family ownership and since its foundation in 1849, Reichsrat von Buhl has been an embossed terroir, a timeless style, which has never been oriented towards fashion, but always to the origin of its grapes from the best Deidesheimer and Forster layers in it. The winery Reichsrat von Buhl is a certified organic farm with active ambassadors of natural, sustainable viticulture and the best German wines.

Back to the Riesling, today we're focusing on Prum's Riesling Auslese.

Prum and Mosel quality wines have often been paired together since the middle of the 19th Century, when Sebastian Alois Prum was producing wines from the largest privately-owned wine estate in the Mosel at the time.

From the world-famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard in the Mosel, Saskia produces this rich Auslese, full of ripe peachy notes, followed by apricot and the more typical Riesling musky and spicy notes. The super high acidity of the grape variety balances well with the elevated residual sugar of the Auslese, delivering a well-balanced wine that can be enjoyed throughout the course of a dinner party.

We enjoyed it as an aperitif, with foie gras, but also with a cheeseboard and dark chocolate tartlets (not together, obviously!).
What's your favourite Riesling pairing? 🇩🇪🍷

Outside of the great wines of the Loire, Cabernet Franc is seldom found as a varietal, in all of its purity, around the world.

It's most commonly blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the so-called Bordeaux blend, but it rarely gets a chance to shine on its own.

Thank goodness Oliver Zeter thinks this grape variety deserves its own spot on the German wine map, because he's done an absolutely fantastic job with it. 🎉

The 12 months of ageing in terracotta amphorae give this varietal wine a high-quality tannin structure, while retaining its true aroma (blueberries, blackberries, cassis), ripe tannins and a long-lasting balance. 🍷
