Bruno Lupin, Roussette de Savoie 'Cru Frangy', France
Grape: Roussette de Savoie
An absolute must for those who love Burgundy white and the Chardonnay grape. Savoie is located further East, towards the German border, and although you won't find any Chardonnay here, you will find wines that are Chardonnay in flavour profile without the big price tag. This easily is a 5 star wine, I would give it 6 if the scale went that far! Gorgeous and ripe with a aromas of citrus fruits, chamomile, meadow flowers and an irresistible creamy texture. You won't find oak here, the wine is aged on its lees in concrete, so its all about the fresh fruit intensity. There are sixteen villages in the Savoie, all of which have higher standards than those of the Vin de Savoie AC and Roussette de Savoie AC and may append their name to either of these appellations if their wines meet these higher criteria. One of the best of these crus is Frangy.

Little Cricket, Gruner Veltliner, Hungary
Grape: Gruner Veltliner
This is so good and a must try for the adventurous soul! This Hungarian Gruner Veltliner is a refreshing white wine with a moderate 12% alcohol content. Flavours of green apple, citrus zest accompanied by notes of stone fruits and white pepper and a lively acidity. What a great find this wine is !  It is perfect for all our Sauvignon lovers and represents great value. This Hungarian Gruner Veltliner, is a perfect match for a wide range of foods. Its acidity and refreshing profile make it an excellent partner for light salads and its crispness complements fresh seafood like grilled prawns or delicate sushi.

Guy Allion, Touraine, Sauvignon Blanc, Loire 2023
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc
Touraine is a Sancerre-like gem, and a brilliant value Sauvignon Blanc. Vibrant and elegant, with a real mineral edge, the palate is full-flavoured with freshly squeezed lemon mingling with white fruit, pear and green apples ending with racy, fresh notes. This sauvignon blanc hails from the small estate of Cédric and Dorothée Allion, produced in accordance with the Terra Vitis principles established in the Beaujolais region three decades ago. This method emphasizes rational viticulture over tradition. The Allions keep vineyard interventions to a minimum, avoiding chemical additives. The quality of their wine is evident: it's a notably refined sauvignon blanc, characterized by its crisp and almost steely sharpness, and rich with flavors of gooseberry, peanut, and nettle. It stands out as a clear, remarkably well-priced alternative to New World sauvignon blancs.

Pietro Junior Lugana, Italy
Grapes: Trebbiano di Lugana
Lugana is a place located on the southern tip of Lake Garda. It's a surprisingly unsuspecting place for wine to be made as the land is all flat, unlike the rolling hills of Piedmont and Tuscany. The dominant grape here is an indigenous variety local to the region called Trebbiano di Lugana and it is most similar to the wines of Chablis or Macon, with its citrus driven profile and its potential to age well. This particular one is produced in stainless steel and is all about capturing the flavour of the vineyards: think apples, lemons and peaches. It has a grippy texture and would be ideal with food. Its a serious wine and a great addition to a Sunday Roast.

Rafael Cambra Soplo 2023, Spain
Grape: Malvasia
We love this wine so much. It is a serious crowd pleaser that will delight both Pinot Grigio and Albarino drinkers, with its soft texture, creamy mouthfeel and fleshy white orchard fruit flavours. The wine is produced from 85% Malvasia, an indigenous Spanish grape, with a small portion of Sauvignon and Chardonnay in the blend. I would recomment that everyone tries this wine, as it is sure to please. Rafael Cambra has spent most of his life in a vineyard. His philosophy is minimal intervention and he farms organic. His family own one of the most prestigious nurseries in Spain, with superstar clients like Vega Sicilia, Alvaro Palacios.

Chateau de a Mirande Picpoul, France
Grape: Piquepoule
Picpoul de Pinet from Château de la Mirande is a crisp, apple-flavoured white wine that pairs beautifully with seafood. Often compared to Muscadet from the Loire Valley, this Languedoc wine offers a zingy, dry profile with a touch more grapey richness. Its proximity to the sea imparts a bright, briny character, complemented by hints of white flowers and ripe green fruit at its core. It’s not austere but rather mouth-filling, retaining all the zip and zing expected from a Picpoul de Pinet. With a bouquet of spicy aniseed, green fruits, and herbs, and a palate that’s resinous with savoury flavours of yellow plum, and pepper, it delivers a sharp, refreshing prickle.
