Astoria, Il Puro Merlot, 2022

Founded in 1987 by brothers Paolo & Giorgio Polegato, Astoria are based at the sunny Tenuta Val De Brun estate located in Refrontolo in the DOCG Conegliano-Valdobbiadene region. The Polegato brothers are the recipients of many prestigious awards; their Millesimato Prosecco has won several prizes including Vinitaly's Grand Gold Medal.

Made from grapes grown on Piave's gravel soils, the fruit undergoes traditional red vinification & prolonged maceration before being allowed to age for several months in wooden barrels, producing this full-bodied & flavourful Merlot. 

Mi Terruno, Malbec Reserve, 2020 

The Baigorria family's story in Mendoza began in 1960 when they first purchased vineyards in the region. Establishing their own winery retrofitted from an old glass tile factory in 2004, Mi Terruño are managed by brother-sister duo Gabriel and Maria. Its name, Mi Terruño, meaning “my terroir”, encapsulates their philosophy of producing wines that capture the characteristics of the grapes and the unique expression of Mendoza’s terroir.

Made from hand-picked grapes, the fruit for the 2020 Malbec Reserve was grown on alluvial vineyards in Mendoza Lujan de Cuyo. Given a 2–3-day cold soak to extract colour and fruit flavour before cool temperature vinification for 3 weeks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for 7 months, creating a proper Argentinian Malbec bursting with ripe red fruits and subtle spice. 

Chateau Canet, Minervois Blanc, 2021

Located in the Minervois appellation of Languedoc-Roussillon, Château Canet are run by lovely couple Floris Lemstra & Nathalie Leclercq. HVE level 3 certified, Canet are dedicated to sustainable winemaking practices, utilising innovative techniques like biological pheromones rather than conventional pesticides in their vineyards.

Minervois Blanc is quite rare as 94% of the appellation's wines are red. A 50/50 blend of local Roussanne and Bourboulenc grapes, it's matured in stainless steel for 8 months with a brief 3-week stint in oak barrels rounding off any sharp corners and making the wine a little softer. 

Bladen, Sauvignon Blanc, 2022 

In 1989 with a young family and caravan in tow, owners Christine and David Macdonald set off on a tour of New Zealand to find the perfect spot to plant a vineyard and establish what is now Bladen winery. One of Marlborough's top producers, their Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown on mature vines planted in silty loam soils. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, this is an aromatic and fresh white wine showcasing the very best of Marlborough's cool climate terroir.
