Our rule is to never list a wine that we wouldn’t be very happy to get stuck in to ourselves at home. This might not be the cheapest house white money can buy but it sure is the best. Rich in fruit, dry and fresh with...

A soft, rich and fleshy red from the classic Rhône varietals grown in the heart of Southern France. As with the white, us Vintners blended this ourselves with the team at Foncalieu. Wine info: Vintage:...

A cracking little Spanish white that's so different to it's French counterparts - rich, fleshy, ripe & juicy with heaps of peach like fruit.  Clean and crisp, a really great quaffing white. Wine Info: Vintage:...

Deliciously fleshy, unoaked Chardonnay exactly as we like it to taste at this price point. The flavours are pure with ripe melon and citrus fruit with great texture on the palate. Creamy, juicy and delicious, a bottle of...

We can’t believe there’s a better Sauvignon Blanc out there for the money (please tell us if you’ve managed to find one).  Made for us by the great team at Foncalieu near Carcassonne. Zippy and fresh...

Such an important white to get right and we’d challenge any contender to beat this Italian Pinot Grigio at this price. Produced and grown on this meticulous family-run estate, this is really tasty and dangerously...

The flagship grape variety of Chile, this is more spicy than the Cabernet with a degree more complexity. Smooth and generous in flavour with ripe black fruit. Wine info: Vintage: 2010 Closure: Cork Grape:...

We’re thrilled to be listing the second vintage of this delicious dry white from Rueda.  We love it as it delivers much of what we’d expect from a well made, inexpensive Sauvignon from Chile or Europe but...

Soave has made somewhat of a resurgence in recent years and this one ticks all the boxes. We love its fresh pear and peach aromas, its slightly resinous texture and its refreshing fruit on the palate. Made by La Cantina di...

A dangerously delicious red for this time of year and just screaming for a bbq’d leg of lamb.  It’s packed with ripe, soft, red berry fruit with smooth, gentle and generous tannins.  Wine...

Well made Viognier should taste of apricots and peaches.  It should be Summer in a glass and this one certainly is.  Close your eyes, sniff and swallow and you’d be hard pushed to be convinced you’re...

So soft, so supple and so seriously delicious. Made from a blend of those well known grape varieties Castelao & Touriga Nacional, this wine really does leap out of the glass with everything that’s great about...

A really hearty and robust Tuscan red, leagues above many a more expensive Chianti.  Smooth on the palate with elegant and pure cherry fruit with a dash of white pepper, it’s the perfect Wednesday Spag Bol wine...

We're really excited to be launching this extremely sound, seriously tasty claret at the sensible price (we think) of ￡8.95. The Vintner's Claret is our own blend of Merlot and Cabernet created with the help of respected...

100% sensational Rioja that's booted every other contender out of the park in the numerous blind tastings we've had these last few months. It's easy to get good Rioja but it's very difficult to get great Rioja at this...

If there's a prettier looking pink in more fabulous bottle at anywhere near this price in the market I'd like to know about it.  This says 'drink me' all over it.  Light salmon pink in colour and crushed...

A modern blend of Rhône varietals, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre. Rich & ripe, but without being overly heavy. Fresh and elegant with pure, focused fruit. Wine Info: Vintage: 2011 Closure:...

If there was ever a wine made for oysters, this is it. Clean fruit, perfectly balanced acidity with terrific texture, we should drink more of this wine in the UK. Wine info: Vintage: 2011 Closure: Screwcap ...

Delicious southern Rhône red. Being a Villages appellation it’s a level up from your average Côtes du Rhône. Fleshy, juicy, ripe and chewy, it’s soft and smooth so ready for drinking now and...

Made from a blend of largely Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from Cadillac, not far from St. Emilion, Château Lardilley is ripe, juicy and fleshy with charming structure and tasty tannins. Wine info: Vintage:...

Made with the same grapes and affected by the same 'noble rot' as it's bigger brother Sauternes. Deep gold in colour, pungent barley sugar and honey on the nose, the palate perfectly balanced between sweetness and acidity...

Ripe but with really racy acidity and heaps of tasty, slate and pebble like flavours and textures. This '10 vintage is terrific to really express how Alsace Riesling really should taste and this is a classic example. Wine...

Made by young Julien Collovray (of our Saint Veran fame) this has all the hallmarks of his great wine making. Rich but fresh with citrus fruit and a hint of butter.  Delicious and beautifully balanced Bourgogne...

At long last we've found a Vouvray Sec that we're proud to be listing. This is exactly how dry Chenin Blanc from this region should taste. Racy, fruity, zesty and refreshing with crisp acidity, minerality and balance. An...

It was difficult to find a really good Albariño at this price but we’ve certainly found one here.  This joins the Muscadet and the Picpoul in the deliciousness table with shellfish. Fresh acidity combines...

Fleurie is perhaps the finest and most elegant of the Crus in Beaujolais. Chapelle des Bois is owned and run by Eric and Chantal Coudert. They make both Fleurie and Chiroubles and this is their top cuvée...

A dead ringer for a Pessac Leognan white selling at twice its price.  The blend of Sauvignon Gris, Sauvignon and Semillon with some new barrel fermentation has produced a rich, fresh and really zingy white Bordeaux...

The most popular white wine at our big bonanza November tasting and what a cracker this is. Amazingly fresh and crisp with cream, pear and hazelnut on the palate. A wine to savour and brilliant competition for a proper white...

Beautifully crafted Chablis with minerality, ripeness, well balanced acidity and perfectly pure fruit. This is textbook Chablis. Wine info: Vintage: 2010 Closure: Cork Grape: Chardonnay Country: France Region:...

A fabulous expression of dry, spicey, flavoursome Gruner.  Floral on the nose with traces of orange rind and citrus with wonderfully pure and crisp fruit on the palate with that hint of white pepper we were looking for...

A new addition to the list, this is the produce of 25 to 50 year old vines grown in the sandy rocky soils of the Ribero.  Beautifully made dry & fine red, crammed with raspberry & cherry fruit with soft, savoury...

It always takes two years for Julien Collovray's Saint Veran to open up & this wine's just beginning to really sing. An intense, taught & totally terrific Saint Veran.  The best we've tasted and in the top 10 on...

Dark cherry and leather nose with an underlying earthiness. Meaty, balsamic palate with firm rustic tannins, and an endless length. Longing to be paired with a wild boar ragu with pappardelle. Wine info: Vintage:...

Great Sancerre treads a fine line, balancing the flintiness of the chalk and limestone terroir, with the fruit and acidity of the Sauvignon grape. Get it wrong and it's like drinking liquidised limestone, but find the right...

We’ve run out of the magnificent ’07 but this ’09 is every bit as good.  Yes it’s younger so there’s some firm tannin here but it’s got layers and layers of creamy, black cherry...

Following the madness of recent en primeur campaigns it’s a relief to be able to find parcels of mature Bordeaux that we can still afford to drink. 2008 is a great vintage to be buying and drinking now. Many of the...

2009 was such rich pickings for us in the Rhone Valley and here we’ve chosen a cracker.  Smooth yet powerful with all the intense spiciness that you’d expect from this great vintage and this terrific...

We've tasted so much average white Burgundy from Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault and it's not until we stumbled across David Moret that we really smiled. This is village Puligny at its absolute best. Complex, taught...
