2023 Monkey Morio Hanewald-Schwerdt, Pfalz

Morio-Muskat

The Monkey Morio by Hanewald-Schwerdt is a fabulous, fun summer wine from Stefan Schwerdt. It's made with a now unfashionable hybrid cross called Morio Muskat, which despite having no direct relationship to Muscat it is very similar in character. Wonderfully perfumed grapey nose with elderflower, apple and hints of pineapple.

£16.50

2021 Sangiovese ‘Valley Vignerons Series’, Payten & Jones, Yarra

Sangiovese

The Payten and Jones winery in Yarra Valley has never been one to follow the crowd and they specialise in minimal intervention, natural (in a good way), farming and winemaking, that translates into styles which are fruit forward and downright enjoyable. 

£24.95

2023 Beaujolais Villages ‘Cuvee Six’, Caves De Julienas Chaintre

Gamay

The Beaujolais Villages 'Cuvee Six' from Caves De Julienas Chaintre just gets better and better with each vintage, showing soft, rounded red fruits and vibrant cherry flavours.  Complex enough to make one sit up and think yet easy going and supple at the same time.  Great for lighter lunches and it can also be chilled lightly when the weather warms up!

£14.95

2023 Mercurey Rouge 1er Cru, Domaine Meunier

Pinot Noir

The grapes for this wine are hand harvested from 2 parcels in the heart of Mercurey where the soil is clay and limestone. They spend 10-15 days fermenting in the tank before being put into French oak barrels, 30% of which are new.  The wine then spends 12 months in barrel before being blended and bottled.
