VOL DE NUIT 2023- fresh off the boat is the 2023 vintage Vol de Nuit Provence Rosé. As always, in perfect time for...errr...Spring.
A blend of Clairette and Rolle, with Syrah and Cinsault given 10 hours maceration prior to pressing.
Le Loup Bleu have been working without chemical intervention for over 20 years now.
A beautifully poised vintage with a red and rosé fruit core, plus plenty of citrus balanced acidity and a long clean finish. Absolutely delicious.
Available immediately.

2015 Schlossberg Riesling from ... not my usual takeaway pizza wine match but a serious treat.
Gained some mass and weight since I last tasted it in 2020. Still with bags of life and vitality to it, chocked full of candied lemons, mango, and honey.
Really very impressive indeed.

Just managed to get my hands on the last few bottles of this delicious, unique, tipple...
Found only for a short time after harvest ( usually around the 2nd or 3rd weekend of October), Weiderweisser is very young wine in an early and ongoing fermentation process.
Low in alcohol and relatively sweet, it is delicious, refreshing, and lightly fruity.

Always enjoyable to head up to 'Laandon' to taste new wine and rub shoulders with all the other like-minded wine merchants sommeliers etc.
Even better to meet the growers now that normal travel has resumed.
A truly excellent and interesting selection as per usual from
Anyone who isn't aware of quite how good Spain has become should think again.
