ARGENTINA: MALBEC & MORE 🇦🇷

There’s more to Argentina than Malbec — but we’ll start there. This tasting showcases the country’s vibrant wine culture, from the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza to the cool southern reaches of Patagonia ⛰️🍇

Expect bold, juicy reds, textured whites, and a real sense of place in every glass. Alongside classic Malbec, we’ll explore lesser-known gems like Torrontés, Bonarda, and even some crisp Chardonnay or elegant Pinot Noir 🍷😋

Perfect for fans of full-flavoured wines and those looking to explore one of South America’s most exciting wine scenes.

BEST OF BLENDS 🍇🍇🍷

Whilst some may say that the best wines are those made entirely from the same grape, we’re big believers that the real magic happens when you blend different grapes together 🤝

Be it the Rhône or Rioja, Barossa or Bordeaux, or Tuscany and Tokaji - some of the world’s greatest wines only happen because talented winemakers combine a little bit of science with art, and produce incredible, blended, wine (👩‍🔬+👨‍🎨=🤤)

Join us for an evening where we’ll be tasting 6 of our favourite blended wines from across the globe, all paired with a board of nibbles, charcuterie and cheese; as well as a glass of fizz on arrival 🥂🧀

AUGUST TASTINGS 😄🥂

The Northern Rhône 🇫🇷
🗓️ Friday 9th August
When it comes to wine, it’s hard to imagine a place which epitomises elegance, finesse and power more than France’s Northern Rhône Valley.

Encompassing the storied appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Crôzes-Hermitage and Cornas to name but a few; it’s the premier place on the planet for the red Syrah, as well as the white Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne grapes.

California: Beyond Napa 🇺🇸
🗓️ Saturday 17th August
Whilst we love the Napa Valley, it can (and does) also overshadow the rest of the wonderful winemaking region that is California. 

And seeing that 96% of California’s wine production takes place outside of Napa, we thought it’s time to shine a spotlight on, and taste, where else this great state makes wine.

WINE OF THE WEEK 🤩

Achillée, Pépin Orange NV 🇫🇷🧡
Was: £24 | Now: £21 | Save: 12.5%

With regional winemaking in the family going back 400 years, the team at Achillée are experts on the grapes Alsace grows best. The name for the winery comes from a yarrow which is used in biodynamic winemaking and grows in abundance on the farm, with the Achillée winery also boasting the title of being the largest building made of straw in Europe.

This latest iteration of Pépin Orange NV has been made with 100% Gewürztraminer. Incredibly vibrant and fruit-driven on the nose it bursts with notes of ripe tangerine, elderflower, lychee and white pepper. The palate is rich, yet silky with a real depth of tropical, spicy flavour. An absolute pleasure to drink and one of our favourite orange wines. 🍑🌶️🌸
