POV - The sun is shining, it's time to crack open a cold refreshing beverage to the rescue when one glass is all you desire.

I first stumbled upon this company at the London wine fair a couple of years ago and since then they have been supplying some iconic venues across the country with their quality wine in glass portions for those of us who fancy a tipple on a sunny afternoon while out and about.

Organic Austrian Gruner is everything you need from a fresh, aromatic white and the Grenache Rose is a dry style produced in southern France with all the qualities you'd expect. Their Sparkling Chardonnay blanc de blanc is a great mix of lemon and toasty brioche which is perfect for the champagne fans out there, like moi.

Now available and rumour has it there will be some cheeky wines by the bottle (including natural and English) to take away or enjoy in the cafe at their soon to be launched late openings. Dates TBC, check their website and socials for updates. I'll be there 😉

Qué Shira Shira.........whatever will be, will be! Can't help but sing the classic song when I see this bottle. I LOVE this wine. For me it perfectly embodies everything that Natural wine is. Naturally sparkling Shiraz (pet nat); where fermentation continues in the bottle. The winemaker has little control in the end, allowing nature to do it's thing resulting in a lively expression of summer fruits and spice. It's perfect for summer, pic nics, BBQ's or party's.
