Delighted to welcome Tatiana from the Bibi Graetz estate and Matt to the Honest Grapes office today for a tasting of the new vintages of Testamatta and Colore. Stunning doesn’t even begin to cover it: pure, elegant Sangiovese from tiny yields, showing why these wines are so sought-after.
Stay tuned — allocations go live tomorrow, and with 2023 yields especially low, they won’t hang around for long.

🍷 Hospices de Beaune 2025 🍷
One of the great joys of Honest Grapes is sharing rare Burgundy experiences with our Club Members — and this year’s Hospices de Beaune Syndicate is shaping up to be truly exceptional.
We’re honoured to have Pierre Duroché guiding the reds and Charles Ballot (Ballot Millot) shaping the whites — two of Burgundy’s brightest stars. Quarter-barrel shares are available with personalisation, and full barrels for those seeking something extra-special.
Every share includes exclusive access to our annual Burgundy trip, where Members experience the Hospice and festivities first-hand — a highlight for collectors.
Quantities are extremely limited, and with wines of this calibre, demand is high.
✨ Secure your place ahead of the auction and own a piece of Burgundy history.

A treat in the office today as we welcomed Charlie Matthews from for a tasting of the new releases
Both the 2022 Opus One and Overture are showing beautifully – perfumed, poised, and wonderfully balanced, with refined tannic structure. 2022 looks set to be an earlier-drinking vintage of Opus, but no less captivating.
Official release: 1st September
… and we may have a few more exciting developments for Opus lovers coming very soon ... Watch this space!

It’s always a big moment when Valdicava releases their Brunello, and this year, it’s something truly special.

The legendary 100-point Madonna del Piano Riserva 2019 has landed, one of the most anticipated Brunellos in years. And alongside it, the stunning 2020 Brunello arrives with a very welcome 30% price drop - despite production being down and quality way, way up (100% Montosoli fruit included 👀).

For collectors, Brunello lovers, and Italian wine obsessives, this is not one to miss. Allocations are healthy but won’t last.

Here’s something special... 

We’re thrilled to unveil our latest Syndicate Barrel: a stunning 1993 Macallan, aged 32 years and bottled in collaboration with Milroy’s of Soho, one of the UK’s most respected whisky bottlers.

This is a truly rare single cask expression, matured almost entirely in ex-Bourbon wood, a style virtually extinct in today’s Macallan production and highly sought-after by collectors.

Offering exceptional value relative to other 30+ YO Macallans, all purchases include a place at an exclusive Milroy’s Whisky Masterclass for Syndicate Members (date TBC).

Plus, for orders of 6+ bottles, we’re offering beautifully engraved oak presentation boxes, personalised with your chosen wording.

In summary, here are the main details:

Just 200 bottles available from Cask #900803
£2,315 in bond / £2,795 inc. VAT – exceptional value vs distillery 30YO (£3,500+)
Exclusive whisky masterclass at Milroy’s with all purchases
Complimentary personalised oak boxes on 6+ bottles

Finished in a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry cask from Jose Miguel Martin - the very finest used by Macallan and Glenfarclas - after nearly 32 years in Bourbon, this is a whisky of elegance, balance and serious complexity... a unicorn for Macallan lovers.

Join us in July at Brunswick House for an intimate “Finding Value on the Right Bank” BYO dinner with special guest David Suire, Director of Château Laroque in Saint-Émilion. The estate originated in 12th Century but its famous château, one of the region’s most magnificent, dates back to the 1600s. Few right bank properties have witnessed such an impressive modern renaissance, with recent vintages increasingly lauded by major critics, with scores up to 97 points and comments (“superb”, “terrific”, “outstanding”, “shades its peers”, “one to look out for”) that belie its modest price. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy wines from one of the most talked about Bordeaux château with the man who made it happen, whilst also sharing bottles from other member’s cellars which have their own story to tell.

Spaces are limited to 10 guests —reserve your place early!

WHERE: Brunswick House Restaurant, 30 Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall SW8 2LG

WHEN: Wednesday, 2nd July, 6:30-9pm

TICKET: £160+ an appropriate bottle from your cellar*

*£50+ retail, Right Bank Bordeaux - a wine special to you

A real treat this week as Simone Furlong from Leeuwin Estate dropped by the Honest Grapes office to guide us through a tasting of the iconic Art Series wines from Margaret River ahead of the new releases launch on the 8th May.
 
Off to a great start with the Riesling - the first grape they planted - and then fascinating to compare the Prelude and Art Series Chardonnay – the former fresh and forward, the latter more textured, with impressive length and serious aging potential. Then on to the 2019 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon (absolutely stunning), and the beautifully perfumed 2020 Shiraz – which, as Simone shared, was memorably (and effectively) paired with tuna by a sommelier at a dinner in Japan!
 
Leeuwin is one of Australia’s most celebrated estates, and it was fascinating to hear how it all began – with Robert Mondavi originally wanting to buy the land, before coming on board as a consultant instead. Even more impressive, it’s still very much a family affair today.
 
Thanks to Simone for such a special visit – and for sharing the stories (and wines!) behind one of the world’s great family-run wineries. 🍷🇦🇺
