Luneau Papin Gula-Ana, 2020

Complex and Outstanding Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Goulaine 

Grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press, strength and length being adapted to each vintage. Spontaneous fermentation using only natural yeasts. Fermentation and maturation on lees 21 months in underground concrete tank and glass lined vats without racking until bottling during summer time 2023.

• Fermentation and maturation on lees for 21 months. 

"Another unusual Muscadet in that it’s gone through malo. RS 0.5 g/l. Ripe oranges on the nose and then knee-bucklingly beautiful on the palate. So complex! Ripe papaya, liquorice-scented tangerines, quinces poached with star anise, fennel bulb, caraway seeds, roasted nigella. I could go on. The kaleidoscopic matrix of this wine is astounding. Thrilling density. Reverberating with energy and tension and tiny humming, strumming, fizzing pixels of fl avour that seem to be soaring of the roof of my mouth with their own otherworldly orchestra. This is outstanding." 

-JANCIS ROBINSON by Tamlyn Currin, Mars 2023

Caruso & Minini Grillo Naturalmente Bio, 2022

Balanced & Saline Medium-Bodied Grillo from Sicily

Stone fruit aromas of white peach and apricot are set against savory notes of petrol and warm pavement on the nose before the palate emphasizes an overall stoniness, both in the presence of still more peach and then soil, crushed rock and warm cement.
-Wine Enthusiast

Food Pairing: To Sicilian wine lovers the ultimate pairing of grillo is with swordfish or a grilled octopus salad. Also try grilled chicken and peach salad or goats cheese with walnuts and honey.

Cellaring: Ideal to drink now when fresh.

Joan D'Anguera Altaroses 2020

Cool everyday-quality Spanish red

100% “Granatxa” (Grenache/Garnacha), unfined and unfiltered, and aged for 12-14 months in French oak barriques, this wine is a wonderfully restrained and elegant expression of the Montsant terruño (terroir). With great purity of fruit, it is much lighter than what you might expect from a Montsant “Granatxa”, a true everyday drinking wine.

• Biodynamic
• 92 Points Cathal McBride, The Sunday Business Post, 11/09/22
• Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate’ praise (‘the winery is so impressive and exciting that I wanted to let you know about them’)
  

Food Pairing: Light pork and poultry dishes

Cellaring: Drinks very well now
