Ferrari Saint Bris is the only Burgundy AOC that allows Sauvignon Blanc (and also Sauvignon Gris) in the wines. It is located in around the village SaintBris-le Vineux in the Yonne, a few kilometers southwest of Chablis vineyards. Vines are planted on a variety of soils on the limestone plateaux of the commune of Saint-Bris, the vines are 20 to 30years old. The wines are a slightly lighter style and cost effective alternative compared to those of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume. Sauvignon vines were planted to replace the local and historical but very unreliable Roublot grape due to their success in the upper Loire. Tasting Notes: An expressive, fragrant nose with notes of exotic fruit, carried by the freshness of white flowers. A seductive Sauvignon with a lively, fresh and delicate palate. Food pairing – an aperitif or with seafood, goat’s cheese or a mixed salad. #Loire #sauvignon #saintbris #ᴡɪɴᴇsᴛᴀɢʀᴀᴍ #winelovers🍷❤️ #whitewine #france #burgundy #vegan

Tribaut Rosé Champagne – Highly recommended. Stars are aligned - just right for a special occasion…. … well, we have coming up - St Valentine’s on 14th February & Mother’s Day on 30th March. … and Tribaut 8 Terroirs Rosé Champagne was awarded ‘90 points – Highly Recommended’ at a recent Decanter magazine tasting (rating it above Laurent Perrier Rose!) They noted “Red berries and flowers with blood orange and fresh grass. Gingerbread and spice add complexity. On the palate, vibrant acidity reveals round, salty red fruit and a persistent mousse. Herbaceous and weighty.” #champagne #champagnerose #rose #tribautchampagne #france #champers #mothersday #mothersdaygift #valentinesday #vegan #vegetarian
What better way to celebrate NYE, than with a glass of Bellino Prosecco. Bellino Prosecco Extra Dry DOC is a superb value, extremely versatile, sparkling wine for light meals or informal and social drinking. The origins of Prosecco have ancient roots and date back at least as far as Roman times. The success of the wine, even in those ancient days, has given a strong boost to the development of viticulture and oenology in the whole north-east of Italy. A straw yellow colour with a characteristic floral fragrance backed by fruity hints of peach and apple. It has a noticeable creamy and delicate sweetness with a soft mouthfeel, then a pleasantly lively and dry finish on the palate. #prosecco #italy #glera #veneto #proseccoparty #friends #2025 #vegan #vegetarian

Black cherry & wild berries on the nose are accompanied by pleasant spicy notes, while the lively palate boasts soft tannic structure & a nicely balanced richness. Goes well with cured meats & cheese. Lamberti Bianco - Enticing, delicate aromatics of lemon blossom, citrus fruit & honey. A light palate showing soft & slightly ripe fruit flavours. An ideal aperitif & at lunch with a starter or sandwich but also with soups, cold cuts (especially ham), melon and fresh cheeses. #italy #bianco #rosso #redwine #whitewine #verona #lakegarda #winestagram🍷 #winelovers #vegan #vegetarian
Cauro Ventum is one of just three wines produced by Bodegas Saura, a prestigious winery in the DO of Bullas in Murcia, south of Valencia. Their 15ha of vineyards, planted with Garnacha and Monastrall, are sited around the town of Caravaca de la Cruz; mainly small terraces embedded in the forest with loamy soils and good drainage. The surrounding flora and fauna species help add nutrients and also provide natural yeasts that are part of the vinification. Grapes are grown organically on a Gobelet system (bush vine) and without irrigation. Fermentation is carried out in limestone tanks from a near-by quarry. Maceration is 8-10 days. These limestone tanks are unique – they are the only winery in the world using them. After pressing, the wine goes to an oak foudre (barrel) where alcoholic fermentation ends and the malolactic fermentation takes place. After a slight clarification, bottling is done without filtering. 21,000 bottles are produced and are sealed with wax. #garnacha #murcia #spain #redwine #monastrell #limestone #vegan #vegetarian #redwinelovers #winestagram🍷
Ginja Ninja Orange Wine Clean, bright, with amber yellow colour and salmon shades. Fresh fruit aromas and citric notes, pink grapefruit. On the palate the wine is light and smooth something that at the same time contrasts with the presence of the tannins and the powerful but balanced crispness. Rich, full-bodied, fresh and with a citric and vegetal character obtained from the contact with the skins. Long aftertaste. Excellent with pasta, rice, fish and white meats. #ginjaninja #orangewine #spain #castilla #organic #vegan #vegetarian #verdejo
Following the positive uptake of last year’s Beaujolais Nouveau - a wine that appealed to ‘natural wine’ lovers and beyond - we are repeating the offer for 2024.

This approach is ideal for En Primeur wines. 2024 has proved to be a promising vintage – reduced yields but with good fruit quality – making for a good depth of flavour and an easy style for immediate drinking. Expect an abundance of fresh fruits: intense red berry aromas and a lively fruity elegance in the mouth. This soft and approachable wine is a made to be drunk young! Pre-orders only, which must be placed by Friday18th October. Stock will arrive early November for delivery ahead of the official release on Thursday 21st November. #beaujolais #beaujolaisnouveau #france #wine #redwine #frenchwine #winestagram🍷
