Delivery timeline:
We require one full case of each wine in order to build and fulfill four mixed cases. This process usually takes about 10-15 business days but may vary.
A little white. A little Rosé. A lot of red. Meet the bottles we can’t stop reaching for right now.
Four wines, twelve bottles, zero filler — from mineral-driven Furmint and juicy Cabernet Franc Rosé to deep, spicy reds from Maury and Maule. Consider this your October lineup, already edited for you.
3 bottles x Gilvesy Furmint 2024 (Lake Balaton, Hungary)
White | Furmint
Furmint is the historic grape of the region and this example shows its true strength. Alongside the lemon and lime rind nose, the palate is led by a lean minerality and exciting flavours that come from the various organically farmed vineyards across Szent György-hegy. The grapes are gently pressed, spontaneously fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks for 6 months. It has a complex character and long aging potential.
Furmint complements herb-crusted poultry or fish. You can also try it with delicate Asian dishes like sushi or dumplings.
3 bottles x Château Haut Grelot 'Bouches Baies' Cabernet Franc 2023 (Bordeaux, France)
Rose | Cabernet Franc
This Vin de France is made from 100% Cabernet Franc, sourced from a 2-hectare vineyard with sandy, silty, and clay-rich soils. Yields are kept to 50 hl/ha, with grapes mechanically harvested and sorted. Vinification is followed by 6 months of aging in stainless steel vats to preserve freshness and varietal character. The wine shows a vibrant dark pink hue and a very bright appearance. Its intense nose reveals aromas of strawberry and floral notes, while the palate is round and fruity with lovely richness, leading to a generous, persistent finish.
Perfect to serve young and fresh as an aperitif, with a summer salad, pizzas, or grilled meat.
3 bottles x Clos del Rey 'Le Sabina' Rouge Maurey Sec AOC 2024 (Languedoc-Roussillon, France)
Red | Grenache, Carignan, Syrah
Le Sabina is an old bush vine cuvée of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah grown on very stony, black schist soils. This engaging red is a concentrated, aromatic, flavourful wine, with a pure essence of blackberry and blueberry fruit, sweet and resinous wild herbs, scorched earth and liquorice. A highly satisfying and bold ensemble. Tannins are abundant but coated and softened by highly intense fruit extract. Great length as noted by Master Sommelier John Szabo.
This wine is great with BBQ meats, lamb, beef, you name it.
3 bottles x Garage Wine Co 'Revival' País 2022 (Valle del Maule, Chile)
Red | País
'Revival' is a project that started during lockdown, and focuses on producing wine from previously-neglected old vines of País in the Maule, while at the same time supporting local farming communities.
Darker and more serious than many País out there with proper complexity and depth, ripe flavours and round tannins without ‘rusticity’. This is the character of the grape on granite soils made in small lots with focus.
Enjoy this wine with roasted duck breast, or a mushroom-based dish.
