Melon de Bourgogne

Nantes, Muscadet

Light bodied

From a prestigious parcel with some of the oldest vines. After an initial blast of citrus, this blooms into a lovely, savoury complexity and a driving, long finish that winds down the road for a fair while.

Sulphur: less than 20mg/l added

A simply delicious, clean, fresh and salty Chardonnay from a single plot, no oak, only concrete tanks. A big crowd pleaser at a friendly price.

Zippy and zesty from the Atlantic-battered vineyards of Nantes in the Loire. A salty-kiss from the sea, crisp-lemon acidity and a generous white almond mid-palate.

Classic Muscadet fleshed out with a little lees ageing: crushing your fresh apple onto broken sea shells, your pal zesting lemon on their new microplane. Absolute scenes

A beautiful vintage for the Pinot Gris, managing to be both concentrated yet fresh and energetic. Incredibly long, textured. A triumph.

Special stuff. Lively, saline, lemony and mineral. Opening the oven to re-heated brioche from the shop on the corner, getting all your jars of preserved lemons out on the counter, lilies in the window

From vines JP planted with his father 30 years ago from Leu dit Stein grown on Grey Marl and Limestone, true terroir Riesling expression, multi-dimensional, long, mineral and stoney. Drinking beautifully but will greatly reward patience in the cellar.

Rare! A perpetual cuvee of Savagnin Rose grown over clay-limestone in the Klevener de Heiligenstein. Sourced from a foudre he tops up with new juice as he bottles every other year, this 2021 edition comprises the 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021 vintages. It walks the line beautifully between the depth and complexity of an older vintage, lifted with the vitality of younger wines.

Riesling

Andlau, Alsace

Medium bodied

A very steep, rocky hill dominates the Andlau valley on which the Durrmann families vines are planted, with a bedrock of dense schist that produces full bodied, mineral driven wines with incredible ageing potential. To cultivate the hill, past generations had built terraces up the slopes, in the local dialect Kastelberg roughly translates to ‘hill of terraces’.

Riesling

Andlau, Alsace

Light bodied

Another powerful, tropical-blast Riesling from the Durrmann family, Rebbuehl is from a parcel called deer hill, planted over granite. With a signature spice; cumin, ginger, their Rieslings are always super-expressive.

From the Bernstein hill on solid granite. A one-off cute, that Max only makes once every 5 years. Aged oxidatively for 18 months. Linear driving acidty develops into a wide textural landscape

Riesling

Andlau, Alsace

Medium bodied

Brilliantly linear, driving and attacking: profound length and minerality. Low yields in the Schist parcels leads to wonderful concentration. A blinder.

Riesling

Andlau, Alsace

Medium bodied

Natural Riesling from the Durrmann family: soft, supple, heady with tropical aromatics and a bright line of acidity to balance.

A collaborative wine blended with Andi and us, with our pals Meg from Flawd (Manchester) and Charlie from Papi (London) For fans of apricot yoghurt, electric acidity and late-night tattoos. Immediate upon opening but develops beautifully in the glass (and over the week if you have the patience!)

Silvaner

Medium Bodied

Iphofen, Franconia

Tesla-coil electricity wound through this one. Cut direct from Andi’s unique Keuper soils, a 45 year old vineyard. A little more fleshy-fruit on it’s razorblade bones this year, juicy.

Sulphur: None added

Pinot Blanc (100%)

Saale-Unstrut, Saxony Anhalt

Medium Bodied

From younger vines (25 years old), the only parcel of theirs with a little clay over the limestone, yielding a little more warmth and earth: this is a fleshy, zesty Weißburgunder, wired with the trademark line of acidity we love in Konni & Evi’s wines.

Sulphur: None added

From a special, incredibly fertile site on the Bockenheimer hill - incredibly unique Pinot Blanc, tinned peaches and aromatic herbs, saline, supple, slinky. Superb.
