There comes a point in the season when everything begins to shift.
The days ask for slower lunches. Evenings stretch a little longer. The air cools just enough to make you reach for something with a little more depth, a little more comfort, a little more character.
And suddenly, the wines of summer feel like a memory.
This is where autumn truly begins.
Our ๐ข๐น๐ฑ ๐๐๐๐ต ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ 2023 is beautifully at home in this moment... layered with ripe pear, yellow peach, orange peel, and a hint of pineapple, wrapped in the kind of richness that belongs around a table filled with good food and even better company.
Then thereโs our ๐ข๐น๐ฑ ๐๐๐๐ต ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐ 2021... the perfect autumn red. Bright cherry fruit, soft tannins, subtle spice, and that unmistakable โjust one more glassโ energy that turns an ordinary evening into something memorable.
Roast chicken. Mushroom tart. Comfort food. Cosy conversations. A blanket over your knees. The soft clink of glasses.
This is exactly what these wines were made for.
And because winter is officially moving in... our ๐ช๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ข๐ป๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ is here with ๐ญ๐ฑ%โ๐ฎ๐ฌ% ๐ข๐๐ selected favourites.
