Château Pineraie, Cahors Malbec - Intense and bright, with ripe raspberry fruit from Grenache balanced by peppery, savoury characters from the Syrah and Mourvedre.

Château L'Ermitage, Cuvée Auzan Rouge - Intense, bright and ripe raspberry Grenache fruit balanced by peppery, savoury characters from the Syrah and Mourvèdre. Generous but properly balanced and underpinned with smooth, ripe tannins.

Dune Gris de Gris Rose, IGP Sable de Camargue - Delicious ripe peach and melon, with a twist of pink grapefruit zest and the freshness of a sea breeze. An enchantingly pale, copper coloured rosé - even more sophisticated looking than its chic cousins from Provence - with a lovely weight and texture across the length of the palate and a dusting of Southern French spice.

Sharpham Estate, Pinot Gris, Devon - A zesty and textured wine that’s a brand new style from Sharpham. The palate is bursting with sour stone fruit, a grippy texture from the skin contact, a taught and grapefruit like acidity with a touch of spice on the mid palate.

Henners Brut, Sussex - This superb non-vintage English sparkling wine, made with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, is a perfect balance of green apple and citrus notes, with the refined, creamy palate that you'd expect from first-class, Champagne-method sparkling wines.

False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage, Coastal Region, Stellenbosch - Full and rich with slightly rustic yet moreish tannins and an impressively long finish. The wine is from coastal, dry-farmed bush vines which have had time to adapt and find their happy place.
