100% Gamay Noir Beautiful and different red from this tiny domaine, made from Gamay, the same grape used in Beaujolais which is only a few miles to the south. A bit more serious, this wine shows plenty of ripe blackfruit, crisp acidity and good tannic structure. Great lightly chilled, this wine is a must try!

100% Chardonnay Stunning find from the south of Burgundy. A tiny producer making sublime wines. This white Macon from this tiny producer is elegant, mineral and shows lovely ripe fruit on the nose with fresh acidity and a long finish. A great wine to rival some of the bigger names in the north!

100% Aligote One of the finest Aligote wines I have ever come across. From the tiny producer, Domaine de la Saraziniere. Plenty of acidity as is usual for this wine, but backed up by weight and minerality. A touch of barrel aging is the key and has given fullness lacking from so many other's.

100% Gruner Veltliner Marion Ebner and her husband Manfred Ebenauer are both incredibly gifted winemakers in their own right and this joint project is going places. This single vineyard Gruner is full of bright fruit and acidity, lots of minerals and complexity. Stunning.

100% Shiraz Phillip Shaw is twice winner of the International Wine and Spirit competition "Wine maker of the year". His wines are characterised by there elegance and restraint. Blackberry fruit with a touch of spice.
|
100% Zweigelt Believe me, more and more great red wine is coming out of Austria and Zweigelt is a grape to watch. Soft and tons of black fruit and little spice on the nose, not much tannin but freshness from the acidity makes this very drinkable.
