STAFF PICKS
Raef
“It is rare to find a sweet wine that is as compellingly drinkable as this. Crunchy Muscat fruit and just the right level of sweetness. Very special and can be open for days.”
LiLy
“Aromatic, crunchy, fruity and ethereal this blend of red and white grapes from Hors les Murs will bring those who have over indulged back to life!”
Darryl
“A stunner - a most delicious bottle bursting with richness, tempered by minerality and a bright acidity. Unfolds beautifully.”

An old favourite that always delivers. Zippy and fresh but with a fruity roundness that makes it as happy at the table as it is for aperitif.
One for Christmas morning, the perfect accompaniment to a frenzy of present unwrapping.
A light maceration of Spergola from Emilia Romagna. Maybe one for the table as it comes into its own with food.
