Passione Natura uses biodynamic grapes and traditional winemaking methods to produce some of Abruzzo s best wines. Their winemaking style means Intervention is minimal, pesticides are never used and sulphur only sparingly added at bottling. Easy, well-balanced Trebbiano with great acidity and notes of apricot, melon, and bitter almond. Awesome value for money this one. Producer: Passione…
From a plot above Pagondas village, planted on shale and quartz. The grapes are pressed direct and aged in a mix of old barrels and stainless steel tanks. Minerality belies this big wine that is as complex as it is delicious — zippy acid but with a broad mouthfeel, savory and salty, yet given to…
A proper Unicorn and an incredibly unusual, oxidative wine from arguably our favourite producer of all time, Patrick Bouju. Patrick bought these grapes from his friend Jean-Marc Dreyer with the aim of making an extraordinary wine back in 2014. The grapes were aged sous voile in an old barrel that had previously been used for Vin Jaune…

Chenin Blanc, one of the best grape varieties on earth, here biodynamically farmed by Mike Sleegers in Margaret River and then made by Xavier and Patrick from Jumping Juice. This one s got all the cues of Chenin (green apple, lemon curd, grapefruit) but still has tension, acidity, and importantly, a dry finish. We love…
Don t let the fun packaging fool you, this is a laser-sharp, textural wine made in a deceptively serious style. This is a lip smacking example of an Aussie Riesling. Long, sleek, incredibly pure with a softness to texture and a crisp, mineral-charged spine. Jumpin Juice is a collaboration between long-time friends and now Gippsland-based winemakers,…
NEW VINTAGE IN THE HOUSE! Another new drop from Winemakers Patrick Sullivan and Xavier Goodridge. Yellow 2020 is made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grown biodynamically in Margaret River, along with a splash of Gewurztraminer which brings an additional floral pop to the concoction and a little more spice in the palate. It s a super-fun example…
A complex, aromatic blend with some skin contact adding a broad, savoury element to the wine. Ripe citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon with some bitter pithy notes on the palate and a white floral nose. Fairly opaque in appearance due to minimal filtration. Another great effort from one of our favourite winemakers. Producer: PittnauerRegion: Burgenland, AustriaGrapes:…
We absolutely love this wine! Pale gold in colour with a vibrant green tinge. Lemon rind and mandarin vibes combine on the nose, while a touch of brioche which hints at the barrel fermentation. Lively acidity and lemon zest make for a zippy sip with a crisp finish, honestly, if you re a chard fan,…

Very slightly hazy, creamy and full bodied with abundant new oak aromas, reminiscent of vanilla and spices. Ripe stone fruits on the palate. Predominantly whole bunch pressed…
Kyra as a clean, fresh Sauvignon Blanc in a classic, almost Sancerre style. This translates to a crisp and citrusy wine with a hint of melon which is easydrinking, flavoursome and very, very moreish. Try pairing Kyra with roasted chicken or turkey, making sure to leave her eye-catching bottle on the table for all to…
A zippy, vibrant, and delicious Riesling made from grapes from Pfalz in Germany and made in Renegade s awesome urban winery in London. The grapes were pressed off the skins and cold-settled for 24 hours.
