Once the site of a monastery of the Olivetan order, Giovanni Cenci lives and works his family’s generations- old farm, producing some of the most compelling, complete wines of the region. Anticello is made with Grechetto grapes, which are destemmed and left in contact with skins for about an hour before starting fermentation.
In the glass, it has a deep straw yellow colour with golden hues. On the nose, it has aromas of stone fruit, citrus, and wild flowers. The palate is fruity, savoury, fresh, slightly tannic, soft and powerful.

Mas Carlot is situated in the south of the Rhône Valley, extending across 76 hectares of pebbly land southeast of Nîmes. This seductive rosé is a traditional blend of Grenache (50%), Syrah (40%) and Mourvèdre (10%).

2 bottles x Radford Dale Vinum Pinotage 2022 (Stellenbosch, South Africa)
Red | Pinotage
Pinotage is a relative newcomer to Radford Dale (their first release came in 2011), yet the varietal has become an integral part of what they do. Simply put, they are looking for purity of fruit and freshness in our expressions.
The palate is bright, vibrant, focused with wild cherry and plum fruit complemented by savoury herbs and spices. You can tell this wine has been made in the vineyard and guided with a most gentle hand in the cellar. It shows purity, freshness with superb drinkability and balance.
2 bottles x Stéphane Aviron Beaujolais Villages 2022 (Beaujolais, France)
Red | Gamay
Stéphane Aviron is considered a pioneer is his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he’s simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines.
This Gamay is made from 50+ year old vines which give it an extraordinary concentration of fruit and a true essence of the terroir of the region. The wine shows itself to be full of complexity and charm at the same time. It is so full of freshness and easy-drinking with fruity and floral notes of strawberry and spice. Pair with just about anything or enjoy on its on as an aperitif.
2 bottles x Casa Los Frailes Bilogia 2022 (Valencia, Spain)
Red | Monastrell, Syrah
Casa Los Frailes (“Cals Frares” in the old local language) takes their name from the Jesuit Friars that used to live in the Estate over two centuries (XVII to XVIII). A blend of Monastrell and Syrah, Bilogia's personality makes it a dark, warm and complex wine. On the palate, the fruit perfectly blends with the oak, showing sweet tannins followed by a round, rich and deep structure.
This bold wine begs for rich foods, that's why we recommend beef short ribs, lentils, shiitake and portobello mushrooms, lamb, rabbit, soy sauce and black pepper... Adding herbs to your dishes such as thyme, lavender and rosemary will also enhance the floral character of the wine.
