From the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, weโ€™re delighted to introduce the latest addition to our portfolio. Tornatore crafts wines that capture Etnaโ€™s character while remaining refined, balanced and highly drinkable.

As one of the regionโ€™s most established producers, Tornatore offers keen pricing, reliable supply and certified sustainability โ€” well suited to both onโ€‘trade and retail.

We were delighted to recently welcome three winemakers from some of the most highly regarded vineyards in the Cรดte de Beauneโ€”Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume, Philippe Chavy, and Pierre-Antonin Darviotโ€”for a series of bespoke masterclasses and curated lunches.
ย 
Matt Wilkin MS, Director of Prestige Sales, commented:ย 
โ€œSpring couldnโ€™t have proved a better opportunity to experience three amazing days with three much-loved boutique Cรดte de Beaune Producers, each delivering Burgundy Masterclasses in London and Edinburgh side-by-side!
ย 
Being spoilt for choice, this rare insight covered Lieux-dits from multiple appellations:ย  Santenay to Chassagne, Meursault to Puligny and Volnay to Beaune. Tasters were enthusiastically taken on a journey through the multi-diverse profiles of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with an array of wines from ๐—๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป-๐—•๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ (Santenay), ๐——๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐˜† (Puligny-Montrachet) and ๐——๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜-๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป (Meursault). With each producer excelling in their field, tasters were provided extraordinary insight into their individual expertise and styles, coupled with traditional values enhanced by modern techniques, resulting in a technical masterclass that elevated beyond the norm.
ย 
Following these events, we received several exclusive, rare parcels from each producerโ€™s cellar for our UK customers. There are some incredibly unique and extremely limited wines here with several rare Magnum releases not to be missed โ€“ some of which wonโ€™t ever be available again!โ€
ย 
These exclusive events were hosted at Trivet and Cabotte in London, and Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh. Our thanks to all the teams for curating such exceptional menus to perfectly complement the wines.

We're excited to share our 2026 rosรฉ highlights with you!

Rosรฉ remains one of the most exciting growth categories, and our team of buyers has picked some of their favourites, including several new additions to our portfolio, all focused on discovery, diversity, and great summer drinking.

Featuring classics from Bandol, Provence, and Navarra, and a beautifully pale Touriga Nacional Rosรฉ crafted by the talented Joana and Antonio Maรงanita in the Douro region. Plus, bubbles from Champagne and Cava, Tim Wildman MW's fun and fresh Australian Pรฉt-Nat, and a Mรฉthode Ancestrale from Stellenbosch, Gavin Slabbert's celebration of Pinotage.

Our selection offers a variety of fresh new finds for you and your customers to enjoy.

Starting with a masterclass and lunch at Carlowrie Castle, the team worked their magic with a menu that beautifully complemented each wine - the lobster lasagna and truffled Baron Bigod were particular highlights.

We also had the pleasure of introducing Carlos to our customers in Aberdeen, where we hosted a perfectly paired tasting menu at Vovem, which is renowned for its premium steak selection.

Every pairing showcased the versatility and elegance of Viรฑa Cobos, reflecting the estateโ€™s visionary work in site selection across Mendoza, particularly in Lujรกn de Cuyo and Valle de Uco. Itโ€™s this dedication to terroir that has earned Viรฑa Cobos its reputation as one of the finest producers in Argentina.

Filled with stories, laughter, and a genuine appreciation for craft and hospitality, a huge thank you to all our customers who joined us - your energy and enthusiasm made it truly unforgettable.
