A single-barrel experiment wine that we wish there was more of! Rousanne from the Herault, one barrel made! The barrel was never topped up so some delicate oxidative notes here. ABRACADABRA creator Hannah Fuellenkemper is American German, and grew up in England before studying and living in Amsterdam for eight years. Facts that are irrelevant to some,…
We LOVE this wine! Some of the finest Riesling from Alsace we ve had that come from 30 year old vines and undergo manual harvest with fermentation in stainless steel. Off-dry but with great acidity and a moreish AF pear vibe going on. A lovely little Riesling. This excellent 7-hectare estate is situated in the…
Oregane is one of the most coveted Ganevat cuvées, a 50-50 Savagnin Chardonnay blend from 80 year old vines grown in clay-marl soils and aged for four years in demi-muids (topped up) before bottling without sulphur or filtration.

The ultimate, decadent, opulent, delicious Chardonnay you can get your hands on. Fruit from centenarian vines, way older than you. Far more concentrated too. It s ok. We can t all be this good. A wine of ridiculous persistence and clarity. Jean-Francois Ganevat is an iconic winemaker, heralded not just as one of the best vignerons in Jura…
One of a handful to make it to the UK. This Chardonnay acquires an exceptional minerality, expressing straightforwardness and tension, a wine that will age well but is equally ready to drink now. Rich, dense, and precise this is one hell of a baller wine. Not fined, not filtered, no so2 added. Jean-Francois Ganevat is…
This négociant bottling from Anne and Jean-Francois Ganevat is a blend of Chardonnay from Burgundy, Savagnin from Jura, and Riesling from Alsace. The wine is fun, fresh, and loaded with acid-driven flavors of green apple, tart orchard fruit, lime zest, and almond skin. Natural wine aficionados, you need to try this bottle. Jean-Francois Ganevat is…

Great value Spanish Blanco for one of Europe s more hipster wineries. The 3404 Blanco represents, as so few wines actually do, an honest, rich, and fresh wine. Citrus and Green apply on the palate with a salty sea spray esq finish. Honestly, great wine for the wonga. Founded in 1993 the Pirineos winery is the…
A white juice bomb from super young vines. Extremely fruity, with a long and sophisticated acidity. This one packs a punch of citrus leaving a lingering lemon and orange taste on the pallet. In a litre format, this one s a bang for your buck! Calcarius are based in Apricena, in the northern region of Gargano,…
Madregale Bianco is a zippy, fresh, wallet-friendly natural white wine made from Chardonnay and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo.

Uncomplicated, but very well made with light tropical citrus notes running through. Producer: Cantina TolloRegion: Abruzzo, ItalyGrapes: Chardonnay,…

Sometimes thought of as the Muscadet of the south, Picpoul de Pinet is just as zingy, crisp and dry as its Loire Valley counterpart, but often has a little bit more of a grapey feel about it which probably accounts for it s great popularity in recent years. For Joseph Albajan s Château de la…
