​​Las Cholitas Chardonnay, Tupungato and Las Cholitas Malbec, Tupungato

Las Cholitas celebrates the vibrant Bolivian women whose energy and contribution to the wineries and vineyards of the Uco Valley is an invaluable resource. A hugely proud community who maintain weekly markets in the region and are famed for their traditional dress and thick, braided hair topped with a bombín, the famously incongruous, fabulous bowler hat. The Bombín was introduced to Bolivia by British railway engineers, intended for men, but were adopted by women instead and it is now a hallmark of the community. Las Cholitas celebrates this community in wines equally evocative of place, being confident, bright expressions of the Tupungato region.

Nieto Patrimonial Semillón, Tupungato ​

Old vine Semillón from Tunuyan in the Uco Valley. Made without wood and at just 11.0% alc naturally it’s a fine, grassy expression of the variety. Mountain Semillón done reedily, still woolly and waxy with lanolin, but think Angora rather than cable-knit in terms of grace, finesse and palate weight. A very well-priced wine of real character and place.

Cadus Naranjo, Tunuyán

Winemaker Santiago Mayorga has tinkered with Naranjo of Gewurz and Viognier, amongst other cultivars, over the years, but we think this is his most successful. Viognier has the structure, weight and phenolics to achieve a Naranjo with presence, which this has in abundance, but with the freshness and seam of acidity from altitude.

Pyren Vineyard Earthscape Malbec, Pyrenees, Victoria and Pyren Vineyard Pentagon Gamay, Pyrenees, Victoria

This Malbec from Pyren winemaker Leighton Joy is perfumed, bright and yet deep. It’s a wine of delicious balance and purity but with Leighton’s hallmark lift and gentle earthy note. Subtle, rewarding, slow wine, like the man himself. Lovely wine, lovely people, joy! ​​Pyren Vineyard Pentagon Gamay belongs to Leighton’s Earthscape range in terms of expression, but he sensibly wanted to not keep adding to the Earthscape labels so Pentagon, the winery logo, it is. 2024 is his first release of Gamay, which was grafted over Cabernet Sauvignon on the farm some years previously. Whole bunch, 40% carbonic, to give it the leafy acidity to match the local warmth. The wine has a wild positivity, drive and a plushness of fruit expected from Gamay, cleverly tethered by stemsy fermentation and aging in older barrels giving the wine Pyrenees warmth but with Leighton’s restraint. Another wine with, by and from Joy.

Henners Blanc de Noirs 

Introducing Henners’ first release of Blanc de Noirs. ​The 2020 vintage was an excellent year across the board for English Wine. An unusually hot and sunny Summer delivered Pinots that had particularly great structure, weight and fruit, giving us the perfect opportunity to try something different. ​Made from an 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier blend, this BdN is rich and expressive with layers of dark red fruits and cherry. Extended lees ageing (4 years) contributes a fine creaminess and structural weight, enhancing complexity and leading to a clean, dry finish.​ Only 5,000 bottles produced. 

Bazar Pinot Noir Gewurztraminer, IGP Pays d’Oc

Two grape filled trailers – one red, one white – one chaotic winery and an inevitable oops… et voilà – Quel Bazar! A happy accident turned liquid masterpiece. This collision created a juicy, aromatic, unexpected wine with a little wild side – because the best things in life aren’t predictable. Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer are co-fermented to make a wine that is fun, bright and bouncy. Even more enjoyable lightly chilled. 

Boutari Vidiano, PGI Crete and Boutari Kretikos Red, PGI Crete

Vidiano is a key white variety on Crete and this premium example shows the quality of what the Island wines can do. Crisp acidity, aromas of fresh herbs and stone fruit. Ripe white peach notes on the palate with gentle oak characters and an appealing creamy texture. 

​Kretikos Red is an approachable Cretian Red that represents good value for money. A great choice for “by the glass” for the on-trade and something for mid-week
budget in Indies. A blend of two indigenous grapes – Kotsifali and Mandilaria, the wine shows ripe red fruit aromas, with appealing cherry and strawberry notes on the palate, supple tannins and juicy acidity.

Papia Pinot Grigio, Provincia di Pavia IGT and Papia Pinot Grigio Rosé, Provincia di Pavia IGT

Appealing, fresh, light and easy drinking lower alcohol Pinot Grigio and Pinot Grigio Rosé from Pavia. The name “Papia” is the Latin root for the Italian city of Pavia, where the grapes are sourced.

This 10.5% pair are fruity, fresh and fun with striking labels to match. Perfect on their own or with summer sharing plates.

Il Traliccio Prosecco Spumante Brut, Prosecco DOC

An appealing and easy-drinking Prosecco from selected parcels of Glera grapes grown northeast of Treviso. Delicate and lively on the palate with ripe orchard fruit, zesty acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.

Il Vello Pecorino, Terre d’Abruzzo IGT

Pecorino has steadily carved out its place in Abruzzo as an esteemed white variety over the past decade alongside Trebbiano d’Abruzzo and we can see why. It produces enticing wines with distinctive character which, when young are versatile, well priced and with immediate appeal.  Il Vello is a nod to ‘Pecora’ meaning sheep, from which the Pecorino grape gets its name.

La Battistina Timorasso Secondo, Monferrato DOC

This is the second or ‘Secondo’ wine of Battistina estate. It’s produced from 100% Timorasso, a variety which was once nearly extinct, and has been revived over the past few decades. The vines were planted in 2021 on a small North-East facing plot at the Battistina estate on clay limestone soil. ​ There are 2000 bottles produced this year of V24 which is fermented at Il Cascinone in steel vats, then aged on lees for 10 months. It’s distinctive and full flavoured, with lime, ripe pear and acacia characters, a broad textured and slightly nutty finish. 

Valley of the Sun Lebanese Red

A juicy and satisfying Lebanese red, full of berry fruit aromas. Hand harvested grapes are fermented on skins for 8-12 days in the concrete tanks which are a hallmark of Domaine des Tourelles winery. Versatile and approachable this wine will pair well with a wide variety of foods and offers exceptional value. 

Power Lines Red Field Blend, WO Paarl and Power Lines White Field Blend, WO Paarl

We’re always on the lookout for new and exciting projects to showcase our creative talents whilst staying true to our Wildeberg ethos of authentic, ‘feet up’ winemaking. Power Lines represents two neighbouring parcels of vines that winemaker JD was keen to work with after tasting other field blends from around the world; the finished wines speaking more of the region than a single varietal can. ​

The name Power Lines comes from the large pylons which dominate the horizon and actually connect a few of the vineyards we work with despite the large distances between them.

Wild House Cabernet Sauvignon, WO Western Cape  

Good inexpensive Cabernet is hard to find in South Africa but this delivers on all fronts. Juicy and approachable with lovely freshness and good depth of flavour supported by ripe tannins. Nice purity of fruit, typical of the highly successful 2025 vintage and thanks to the quality of fruit from the Primo estate in Paarl. Primo is our most important grower partner, their grapes are at the heart of the Wild House range and selected parcels from their prime vineyards are also used for Coterie. ​

Mini Murviedro Sparkling 0% NV

There has been a demand for single serve 0% wines and here we have this option which will work across a large range of customers. This is fermented as a wine and then dealcoholised carefully by spinning cone (the technology for which continues to improve). Bright tropical fruit characters, with hints of passion fruit and lemon citrus. An appealing fizz, slightly creamy on the finish with a gentle sweetness.

Casa Lo Alto Garnacha [Organic] and Casa Lo Alto Bobal [Organic]

Lo Alto is a traditional farmhouse with a winery dated back to 1796 located in a hill (lo alto) for which the place is named, in Venta del Moro in the Utiel-Requena region. It boasts 60 hectares of vineyards, along with 30 hectares of almond groves surrounded by 60 hectares of forest cover – making this a truly unique place which, together with the minimal intervention ethos, gives these wines their special character.

The Garnacha has aromas of pomegranate and forest fruit with hints of fennel. The palate is complex and elegant with blackberry and hibiscus notes, fine-grained tannins and juicy acidity on the long finish. While the Bobal has intense red fruit aromas with notes of blueberry. Rich cherry and strawberry fruit on the palate with fine-grained tannins giving balance. Juicy and full-flavoured.

Ontañón Rioja Viñedo en Quel, DOCa Rioja  

A delicious wine, that looks great, and is relevant for the modern face of Rioja. You can just drink this and love it, and if you want to you can understand where it comes from – as now the rules in Rioja have changed to allow for labels to reflect the source, rather than just the ageing regime in terms of Crianza, Reserva etc. Quel is the home of Ontañón, in Rioja Oriental. 

Mendiondo Rioja Tempranillo, DOCa Rioja

An approachable, easy-drinking and great value Rioja – a versatile red that can be enjoyed both with food and without.
