We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with a spectacular group of producers from Provence and the Rhône Valley. It is a genuine privilege to work alongside winemakers who capture the warmth and character of Southern France so beautifully, but getting to share these exceptional bottles with you is what we enjoy most.

This selection bridges two iconic regions. From Provence, we are bringing you the quintessential, bone-dry rosés, bringing you a touch of summer. Moving into the Rhône Valley, the collection highlights everything from the peppery, refined Syrahs of the north to the bold, sun-drenched blends of the south.

It is a real privilege to partner with winemakers who capture the essence of this historic region so perfectly, but the real joy is finally getting to open these bottles and show off their craft to all of you.

The Loire is famed for its vibrant freshness and incredible diversity, and our selection brings together the very best of it.

For Champagne, we have brought together a brilliant selection of producers, showcasing the extensive scope and quality that the region can offer. It is a genuine privilege to represent them, and we cannot wait to pop these corks and show off their remarkable craftsmanship.

Our lineup spans the entire length of the peninsula, bringing together timeless classics and thrilling modern styles. We will be pouring everything from the elegant, structured Nebbiolos of the north to the vibrant, volcanic wines of Sicily, and absolutely everything in between!

We are immensely proud of our Spanish portfolio, and a massive part of that comes down to the incredible calibre of the winemakers we are partnering with. These are producers who live and breathe their land, possessing a deep, unbreakable connection to their individual vineyards and heritage. Working alongside them is a privilege, but getting to open these bottles and show you exactly what makes them so special is what we love most.

This collection is a beautiful masterclass in regional identity. We will be pouring from everywhere; from Priorat to Valencia, from Rioja to Terra Alta and of course fascinating Sherries and Vermuts to name but a few. It is a line-up that truly celebrates the soul of modern Spanish winemaking.

Too often, Malbec is seen as one-dimensional —but a visit to the UK from Alberto Arizu, 4th generation and Chairman of , was a powerful reminder of just how nuanced and diverse Mendoza truly is.

Over several days in London, and over many bottles, our customers, team, and key members of the trade press had the opportunity to sit with Alberto, exchange ideas, and taste through an exceptional line-up of wines.

From the patchwork of altitudes and soils that define the region, to the precision with which Alberto and his team approach each vineyard, Luigi Bosca continues to redefine what Argentine wine can be.

The De Sangre range showcases site-specific Malbecs of exceptional depth and freshness—Malbec remastered—while new releases such as Filos (a razor-sharp, mountain-grown Chardonnay) and León (a structured Cabernet honouring founder Leoncio Arizu) highlight the family’s continued pursuit of innovation. We were also delighted to introduce, for the very first time, the Insignia Chardonnay—new to the UK market as of spring 2026. Not to mention the incredible showings of Los Nobles and Paraiso, the latter holding a special place in Alberto’s heart, having been envisaged alongside winemaker Pablo Cúneo over many years.

Since 1901, four generations of the Arizu family have shaped the identity of Argentine wine through patience, vision, and Alberto’s belief that great wines are not only made—they are imagined.

With great thanks to and .concepts for their incredible hospitality!

We were delighted to be joined by Jure and Jakob Simčič, from in Goriška Brda in Slovenia, for a wonderful afternoon spent at KOL Restaurant. The brothers generously shared the regions distinct history and how it has woven into their family’s story. As well as the philosophy behind Edi Simčič, their winemaking style and their passion in taking over the reins of the vineyards and winery from their father, as the 3rd generation of Simčič winemakers.
A specially curated lunch menu was thoughtfully paired to showcase these incredible wines, each course crafted to highlight the personality of these distinctive and characterful wines, The weight and texture of these wines make them a pure joy to a culinary partner. .restaurant

Earlier this summer, a few of us swapped our desks for the rolling hills of Montalcino, visiting our friends at . Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, the estate has a romantic history — once the rural homestead of a countess, it was bought in 1999 by its current custodian, winemaker Andrea Cortonesi. Andrea now farms 11 hectares of vineyards, split into 14 small parcels, home to more than 20 different clones of Sangiovese. His approach to planting is thoughtful: where many push for higher densities, Andrea prefers 3,500–5,500 vines per hectare. His belief is simple — Castelnuovo already gives a naturally rich, tannic expression of Sangiovese, and his careful farming adds concentration on its own. The result? Grapes of striking intensity, but with a balance that allows Uccelliera’s wines to stand out as unusually refined and elegant within this powerful terroir. And it’s not just the wines that we remember. Andrea and his wife Paola welcomed us not only as guests, but as friends, inviting us into their kitchen. Over a long lunch, they served us dishes that embody the estate’s philosophy: simple, honest, and full of character. One recipe in particular has stayed with us — a classic side dish of grilled courgettes, taken straight from the garden, sliced lengthwise, charred for a few minutes on each side, then finished with salt, fresh thyme, basil, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Just a handful of ingredients, yet full of flavour — much like Montalcino itself.
