First Wednesday W**e Tasting -
Zentral: w**es of Central Europe
📍at GlouGlou
📆 Wednesday 7th October

On the first Wednesday of each month we hold a tutored tasting at GlouGlou, our Enoteca W**e Bar on Castle Gates. Each month follows a different theme. Our next tasting, on 7th October, will be presented by Robin, chief w**e geek, and we’re hoping a guest speaker from Bulgaria too, exploring the w**es of central Europe, fast becoming a lively hub for natural and organic w**e. There is a generation of w**egrowers across Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Slovakia and Greece making terroir-driven, low-intervention w**es, blending old vineyard traditions and varieties with forward thinking techniques and attitudes.

Five w**es. Snacks from the GlouGlou kitchen. The stories behind the labels: who made it, where it’s from, how it’s made, a little history and context and some ideas of how to serve the w**es and what to drink them with. What better way to spend a couple of hours on a Wednesday evening? Book online at ironandrose.com. Dates and themes for the rest of this year are online and available to book now.

When - Wednesday 7th October at 7pm

We’ve had a bunch of new followers recently (hello 👋 and thank you!) so thought we’d share our handy bank-holiday flowchart, a useful aide memoire showing how to avoid a w**e-less situation or be thrown on the mercies of the local convenience store.

We’re open in Shrewsbury Market Hall 9-5 this Friday and Saturday then back open as usual from 9am on Tuesday 1st September. Delivery available locally today and tomorrow and by courier across the UK from next week.

As they say in the Scouts, be prepared!

Restocks and new stocks. Some beautiful w**es have arrived this week along with the shift in the weather. Come and see what’s new!

Among them, a new white from Élodie Jaume in the Rhône Valley.

The new vintage of Thierry Germain’s classic Loire Cabernet Franc, tasting as delicious as always.

Antonio Madeira’s incredible Dāo Branco - old vines, masterful w**emaking, we are always sorry when the last bottle sells!

The very welcome return of Olivier Lejeune’s Whaka Piripiri Mai, a Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley.

And finally an amber w**e from Georgia, made in Anapea village by Khatia Darguashvili. Khikhvi fermented and kept on skins for 7 months in qvevri then matured in older, larger qvevri for two years, bottled unfined and unfiltered.

What do they have in common? They’re made by farmers doing their best to grow great grapes, working in harmony with nature, and using their talent and care in the w**ery to let the finished w**es express a sense of place unique to each one.

Reds that think they might be pink. Rosés that might be red. Pinks that know they are, but only just.

What they have in common is that they are made by growers working in harmony with nature and minimal messing about in the w**ery: no secret ingredients, no funny business. Just healthy grapes skilfully crafted into delicious w**es. Bringing life to the soil and better taste to your glass.

The sun is out. The weather’s looking perfect. The shutters are up at the shop and there are good sounds on the speakers. PetitGlou is open for a glass to try before you buy. See you in Shrewsbury Market Hall soon!

New in, the latest releases from Whinyard Rocks, New Radnor, Wales.

Whinyard Rocks is two people trying to make w**e on a hillside in Wales. The results are everything that is great about the UK w**e scene - adventurous, ingenious, and delicious.

James and Susan left behind London life, working as a scientist and at a sustainable food & drink startup respectively, for very rural Powys, after James had the wild idea of planting a vineyard on a slightly lower lying field on the family sheep farm. And just to make things even harder they followed through on their values and decided to make the w**es as naturally as possible, farming regeneratively and making the w**es with no additions, no fining or filtration, and using the naturally occurring yeasts for fermentation.

The 2024 vintage was, to say the least, challenging. But with the help of some additional grapes from Bryn, the octogenarian grape whisperer of the Welsh borders, who managed to coax an amazing crop from his unsprayed, hand tended vineyard while all around were despairing, Susan and James have made some really exciting w**es and we’re pleased to have got our hands on some of the very few that were produced.

In stock are the Still Orange, Solaris Pet Nat and Rosé Col Fondo. The Col Fondo is on by the glass at PetitGlou now and watch out for the others going at GlouGlou too.

Made from grapes - we champion w**es made by growers working in harmony with nature and a light hand in the cellar: no secret ingredients, no funny business.

Our mixed case for August journeys through Italy, from Sicily and Puglia in the south to the Veneto in the north, seeking out w**es from producers who make w**es that truly reflect their origins, not to fit a recipe.

Available to buy individually or on subscription out monthly mixed six cases come with tasting notes for each w**e, the who, what, where and how, and some suggestions on how to serve them and what food to drink them with.

Called This Month We’re Mainly Drinking, each months case is based around a theme but also chosen to match the weather and the seasonal foods.

Buy in the shop in Shrewsbury Market Hall or online at ironandrose.com.

Cantina Rallo makes beautiful w**es in western Sicily. Many of their vineyards are up in the hills, where this photo was taken and where the cooler nights and refreshing breezes help keep the climate more temperate and ideal for growing organically. Included in this month’s case is Vicoletto, a great introduction to orange w**e and amazing to drink in this hot weather. Made with Sicily’s Catarratto grape it is bottled unfined and unfiltered and produced with no added sulphites.

The Produttori Vini Manduria is long established but very forward thinking cooperative w**ery in Puglia. I met the w**emaker and several of the members of coop on a visit (when it was cool and rainy in Puglia while warm and sunny in the UK 😆). Aka Rosado is a deep coloured but dry and savoury pink made with Primitivo grape, thus the dark colour due to the grape variety’s deep pigmentation. At just 12.5% it’s also light enough to be wonderfully refreshing and great to drink on its own or with some light salads.

Campania is a land of amazing ruins (for example Paestum, pictured above), beautiful, quiet beaches (not going to share where the one in the photo is, it was just us and a few locals 🤫 ), fantastic food (farm-fresh mozzarella 😋) the odd volcano 🌋 and wonderful w**es.

If you’re looking for a virtual visit, and to whet your appetite for an actual visit, we’ve got some beautiful w**es that will take you there. From w**es grown on coastal vineyards to w**es from the slopes of Vesuvius, all from growers working in harmony with nature to bring life to the soil and great taste to your glass.

**e **e

“If it grows together, it goes together” is a useful maxim to follow and the w**es of Campania are often the perfect match for a Caprese salad (that’s water buffalo producing milk for mozzarella above) and the deliciously simple but skilfully prepared food that makes the most of the wonderful local produce.

Usually made from less well known grape varieties such as Caprettone, Fiano and Falaghina, Aglianico and Piedirosso, the w**es are really food friendly, great value, and well worth exploring. Pictured above are some of the w**es from Campania that we currently have on the shelves and website.
