A glimpse at some of the new wines joining our portfolio this autumn.

We are excited to introduce you to these new wines joining our portfolio this autumn….

Chile

 

Emiliana Coyam Chardonnay, DO Valle Limari [Organic] 2024

Following the legendary success of Coyam, organic pioneer Emiliana has launched a new white counterpart. Driven by a commitment to quality, premium winemaker Noelia Orts has sourced this Chardonnay from the stellar, limestone-rich soils in the cool Limarí Valley. Crafted in the immaculate Los Robles facility, the wine is fermented and aged in 4th-use French oak barrels with frequent bâtonnage to build an impressive weight and texture. The result beautifully balances characteristic Limarí salinity, freshness, and minerality with a wonderfully juicy, unexpected hit of fruit. It blends sharp lemon and lime with riper notes of melon and mango for a generous, rewarding palate. This premium addition is a must-have for quality-focused independent retailers and on-trade venues looking to elevate their list with this stellar wine. A future Chilean Icon to partner the already Iconic Coyam Red.

 

Emiliana 57 Rocas Cabernet Sauvignon, DO Valle de Maipo [Organic & Biodynamic] 2021

57 Rocas Cabernet Sauvignon is the newest addition to Emiliana’s eco-forward VOE (Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana) project. True to Emiliana’s sustainable ethos, this organic range champions respectful land stewardship and absolute terroir expression. Made at the state-of-the-art Los Robles facility under winemaker Noelia Orts, the fruit is sourced directly from a historic, organically farmed Maipo estate famous for producing Don Melchior. The result is a world-class Cabernet at a mere fraction of the price. This quintessential Maipo red opens with a fruit-forward nose of blackcurrant and cherry, underpinned by complex graphite notes. On the palate, it delivers beautiful purity of fruit framed by a lovely, supple structure. It is an ideal choice for independent retailers planning autumn tastings, as well as hospitality venues seeking premium, high-value organic options.

 

France

 

Chateau l’Ermite d’Auzan Gavroche Blanc, Vin de France [Organic & Biodynamic] NV

A white partner to Gavroche Rouge. Classified as a Vin de France, this bottling allows winemakers Jérôme and Tanguy to push creative boundaries. The result is a unique Blanc de Noirs, crafted primarily from Cinsault Noir grapes handled with white winemaking techniques, enhanced with a dash of aromatic Muscat. The profile is brilliantly bright, delivering crisp white peach flavours beautifully balanced by a ripe citrus acidity on the finish. Sourced from organic grapes grown at L’Ermite d’Auzan in Costières de Nîmes, this Demeter-certified wine offers exceptional value for a biodynamic release.

 

Domaine Sainte-Barbe Bourgogne Pinot Noir La Chapelle, AOP Bourgogne [Organic] 2022

What started as an exclusive, limited parcel is now a permanent addition to our core range! Following overwhelmingly positive trade feedback from a recent customer trip to Jean-Marie’s lovely Domaine, we have officially listed this exceptional Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Sourced from the small, prized “La Chapelle” parcel in Burgy, this wine offers broad commercial appeal while staying true to its roots. It is crafted in a traditional Burgundian style, with a natural yeast fermentation taking place in oak barrels, followed by 18 months of resting on its fine lees before bottling. The result is a stunning red with crisp cherry fruit notes and that distinct thread of minerality characteristic of Jean-Marie’s winemaking. This bottle bridges the gap between boutique exclusivity and reliable stock availability, making it a perfect addition to any shop shelf or premium wine list.

 

Maison Boutinot Orielle Beaujolais Blanc, AOP Beaujolais 2025

Orielle is a golden glint of newness and the very first Beaujolais Blanc to join the Maison Boutinot range. While selling a Chardonnay from Beaujolais—rather than its famous neighbour, Burgundy—presents a unique commercial challenge, this wine simply speaks for itself. It is designed to pique curiosity and reframe a classic grape through a completely different lens. This special, limited-production parcel is crafted by a trusted local grower with whom we have partnered for over 15 years for our red Beaujolais. A few years ago, they boldly replanted an area of Gamay with Chardonnay. Today, we finally see the fruits of that labour. A tiny total production of just 2,600 bottles, so get it while you can!

 

Italy

 

Alasia Nizza, Nizza DOCG 2023

Nizza is a Barbera d’Asti cru which earnt its own independent DOCG classification in 2014. While you may already know our Cascina Nuova, Nizza, producer Araldica created this new expression specifically to help capture the UK market with an accessible style at a highly competitive price point. Crafted from 100% hand-harvested Barbera grapes, the wine spends 18 months in oak, split between traditional barriques and large casks. This aging process balances rich black cherry and plum notes with vibrant freshness and elegant depth. Alasia Nizza offers exceptional value and food-pairing versatility—especially with rich pasta dishes and of course Nizza and Pizza!

 

Uggiano Bianco, Costa Toscana IGT 2025

Autumn may be fast approaching but we can hang onto summer a little longer with the delightful Costa Toscana IGT from Uggiano joining the portfolio. This dynamic Tuscan designation highlights the unique coastal terroirs of Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa Carrara, and Pisa, capturing the vibrant maritime influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Uggiano has harnessed this coastal character with a refreshing white blend of Vermentino, Trebbiano, and Sauvignon. By using gently pressed, free-run juice only, they have crafted a wine that delivers pure “sunshine in a glass.” Its beautifully balanced, highly approachable, and full of bright coastal aromas. This bottle offers incredible value for money and is a highly versatile addition that brings a fresh, modern slice of Tuscany to any wine list or retail shelf.

 

Bottega Vinai Pinot Bianco, Trentino DOC 2025

The Bottega Vinai Pinot Blanco is a new edition to Cavit’s long-established Bottega Vinai range. This release is the culmination of four years of meticulous terroir monitoring across two distinct Trentino sub-regions: Alto Garda and Vallagarina. By analysing harvest data from both microclimates separately via Cavit’s advanced PICA system, they delayed bottling until the fruit perfectly met expectations. To preserve its crisp, elegant character, Cavit intentionally bypassed oak aging. The result is a beautifully focused, unoaked white wine delivering striking clarity, brightness, and concentration. It opens with vibrant notes of green apple, juicy white peach, and delicate acacia blossoms.

 

Gradis’ciutta Collio Riserva, Collio DOC [Organic] 2019

We are excited to elevate our northern Italian selection with Gradis Ciuutta’s top barrel-fermented Collio Riserva. Sitting alongside their unoaked Bratinis in our portfolio, this premium white is a masterclass in Friulian blending, uniting indigenous Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia, and Friulano. The grapes are co-fermented in large 10HL French and Slavonian oak casks, a traditional method that builds seamless texture without overwhelming the fruit. Sourced from the stunning 2019 vintage, this exclusive parcel has arrived at peak complexity. It opens with a super-fine, delicate floral bouquet of blossom and acacia, leading into a vibrant, intense, and layered palate. This Riserva offers an elite, food-friendly expression of Collio terroir.

 

Villa Raiano Alimata, Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2022

Alimata is the definitive single-vineyard Fiano Cru from Campania’s acclaimed Villa Raiano. Hailing from a tiny 2-hectare plot in the Montefredane district of Avellino, these vines sit 350 meters above sea level. This exceptional fruit undergoes gentle whole-bunch pressing followed by one full year of lees aging. The result is a beautifully complex, balanced white wine with fantastic persistence on the palate. Alimata represents the pinnacle of premium Southern Italian whites, offering an elite, terroir-driven talking point for any selective wine list.

 

New Zealand

 

Heaphy Chardonnay, Nelson 2024

Our Home in New Zealand is expanding with a striking new Chardonnay from Heaphy.  Offering a completely different expression to the bigger Moutere profile, this bottling is all about purity, freshness, and delicate, light aromatics. It serves as a benchmark for New Zealand’s competitiveness in the premium Chardonnay arena. While there is undeniable power in the fruit, it is perfectly counterbalanced by that distinctive, light salty palate so typical of the coastal Nelson region. For trade accounts looking to offer a fresher, lighter, yet intensely mineral white, this Nelson release is a stellar addition to any contemporary wine list.

 

Heaphy Montepulciano Rosé, Nelson 2024

We have been predicting its return for years, and it is officially here: dark rosé is back. This unique Montepulciano expression thrives spectacularly in Nelson’s cooler climate, demanding so much intense vineyard management that Heaphy viticulturist Kelly has developed a genuine love-hate relationship with the block. The immense manual labour that goes into these vines is beautifully reflected in the final bottle. The result is an incredibly fun, untamed, and highly energetic wine. It sits in a vibrant, niche category of its own, boasting an explosive flavour profile and a deep, striking colour that ensures it genuinely leaves a lasting mark on anyone who tastes it. For your independent retail and progressive hospitality accounts looking to surprise customers with something bold, conversational, and trendy, this Kiwi rosé is an essential pour.

 

South Africa

 

Zebra Striping, Sauvignon Blanc, 0.4%, Western Cape 2025

The No/Low category remains a rapidly expanding segment of the market, and we are excited to launch a highly accessible new 0.4% ABV wine. Despite the alcohol reduction, it successfully retains the classic varietal cues of a great Sauvignon Blanc, offering fresh, grassy, green notes paired with a crisp, bright acidity. The name, “Zebra Striping” is the term synonymous with alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for mindful consumption. It is an ideal, high-value addition for any retail shelf or wine list catering to the mindful drinking movement.

 

Side Eye Cinsault, WO Paarl 2026

The striking label and clear flint glass bottle perfectly showcase this bright, joyful wine. Brimming with strawberry fruit, complemented with a lip-smacking jolt of cranberry freshness. This life-affirming Cinsault is elegant, and versatile enough to be served lightly chilled. It is an absolute must-have for wine lists and trendy independent shelves.

 

Zorgvliet Cabernet Franc, WO Banghoek

This latest update is more of a welcome reintroduction than a brand-new launch. A good few years ago, we carried this exceptional wine that perhaps arrived just ahead of its time. Now, we are thrilled to give it the grand return it truly deserves. Cabernet Franc as a varietal has completely come into its own since we last listed this wine, with trade and consumer interest hitting an all-time high so this is the perfect moment to (re)introduce this refined, terroir-driven expression that balances structural elegance with premium value.

 

Spain

 

El Escocés Volante, Garnacha Gris 2024

A stunning new release from Master of Wine Norrel Robertson’s acclaimed El Escocés Volante project. Dedicated to showcasing ancient, single-vineyard plots and indigenous varieties, this latest release spotlights the incredibly rare Garnacha Gris. Historically known as “La uva de los Muertos” (the grape of the dead). Garnacha Gris is a rare colour mutation of the Garnacha (Grenache) grape, primarily found in the Mediterranean regions of Spain and France. Historically, it was sometimes referred to as “La uva de los Muertos” in certain Spanish regions, a name likely stemming from its pale, greyish-pink skin or its presence in ancient vineyards that have survived for generations. The variety is known for its ability to produce wines with significant body and texture. Unlike its more common red and white counterparts, Garnacha Gris often results in wines that offer a unique aromatic profile, typically featuring notes of stone fruits, delicate floral hints, and a distinct mineral character derived from old vines planted in slate or limestone soils. In contemporary viticulture, there is a growing interest in preserving these heritage vines. Winemakers often utilise skin contact or lees aging to enhance the complexity and mouthfeel of the wine, making it a subject of interest for those exploring indigenous and historic European grape varieties.

 

Uruguay

 

Pisano RPF Tannat, Progreso 2023

Since their arrival last year, the Pisano wines have been a big hit with customers and Boutinot staff alike. Their RPF Tannat is the family’s long-term signature wine and the ultimate benchmark for Uruguayan Tannat. While their other labels, Cisplatino and Río de los Pájaros, offer youthful, energetic fruit, the RPF reveals a much more brooding, serious side to the country’s flagship grape. Aging in larger, older oak casks infuses the wine with a deeply structured, commanding presence without masking the fruit. It is an intense, powerful pour that demands an equally robust food pairing, making it a spectacular match for a prime slab of beef, mature cheeses, or rich, deeply roasted winter vegetables. We have just landed a limited allocation of 60×6 cases. It is a fantastic option for independent merchants looking to showcase top-tier New World complexity.

 

Pisano Pajaros Pintados Albariño Pet Nat, Progreso 2025

What could be more current than a premium Pet Nat? Well lets introduce Pajaros Pintados Albariño Pet Nat 2025, a vibrant release that perfectly captures the modern crave for ancestral-method sparkling wines. Crafted by Daniel Pisano, this clean, mineral-driven Albariño is influenced by the cooling South Atlantic currents. It is bright, breezy, and wonderfully lively on opening, delivering a beautiful, foamy texture that leaps from the bottle. Combining the classic, high-acid freshness of the Albariño grape with the fun, untamed energy of a Pet Nat, this wine is pure joy in a glass. Idea for independent retail and progressive hospitality accounts, this Uruguayan sparkler is an absolute must-have conversation starter.
