Les Roches Saintes, Picpoul de Pinet, 2025
A shellfish-loving Picpoul de Pinet straight out of Central Casting - pink grapefruit and lemon with a pinch of fleur de sel. Mid-weight and food friendly, it ticks all the boxes. Now-2027
100% Picquepoul from this now-fashionable appellation. This local grape has the advantage of being slow-ripening: picked after the heat of summer has passed it retains freshness and flavour. In the old Occitan tongue Picpoul means “lip-stinger”, due to the grape’s natural acidity, but this...

L'Estabel, Clairette de Languedoc, Fulcrand Cabanon, 2025
Clairette is one of the unsung heroes of the Beautiful South, and to our mind, its most exciting white grape. Ripe lemon and peach fruit with just a whisper of something more exotic and subtle floral undertones. Long and bright with a distinct mineral edge to the finish. Terrific value. Now-2027

Ferry Lacombe, Mystere, Rose, IGP Mediterranee, 2025
A delicious blend of Grenache, Grenache Blanc and Caladoc that is classified as an IGP (previously Vin de Pays) Mediterranée as some of the vines are just outside the Côtes de Provence appellation boundary. Lovely pale hue with crisp orange zest and white peach fruit. Now-2027

Grenache / Garnacha
Grenache grows well in hot, dry regions, though it can develop very high (15 degrees+) alcohol.
As such it is grown principally in Southern France and Spain (as Garnacha). It is usually blended with other varieties in the Southern Rhône and Languedoc (Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Cinsaut and others).
Its flavour usually encompasses the...

Chateau de la Liquiere, Faugeres, Amandiers Rouge, 2023
Great value as always. Lifted, damson and bramble nose. Fruity attack with ample ripe tannin and drier, more savoury notes on the finish. Toulouse sausages and puy lentils would marry up perfectly. Now-2027
La Liquiere is among the finest estates in Faugères. Vidals have lived in the village of Cabrerolles in the very north of the appellation since the seventeenth century, but the estate was really founded by François’s grandfather, who was one of the most vocal lobbyists for...

Carignan
Carignan is the grape which really distinguishes the red wines of the Languedoc and Roussillon from those of the southern Rhône (in the latter Grenache is ubiquitous and dominant, and Syrah and Mourvèdre are the preferred blending grapes).
It has been a much maligned grape. For example Jancis Robinson’s Oxford Companion to Wine thunders: "Carignan,...

La Combe Saint Paul, Gres Rouges, La Clape, 2024
This is a great value red that ticks all the boxes for a classic La Clape red: sun baked red and black fruit; wild herbs; ripe tannins and a fresh sea-breeze influenced finish. If you already buy the La Combe Saint-Paul whites (and many of our customers do), then this red should go down a treat. Now-2029
La Clape (a “heap of pebbles” in the old Occitan language of the south), just east of Narbonne was once a rocky island; geologically speaking a klippen, an eroded remnant of a...

Domaine du Grand Arc, Corbieres Rouge, Reserve Grand Arc, 2023
A blend of 50% Carignan, 35% Grenache Noir and 15% Mourvèdre, aged in barrel, 20% new. Dense and fullflavoured, this is a chunky wine for the money and could keep well if you have the patience. Dark fruit and hints of the garrigue (the herby scrub which surrounds the vineyards), tinged with oak. Impressive concentration. Now-2029

Corbieres, France
Nicolas Schenk is now running the family estate created by his father Bruno. Bruno Schenk is still a legend here at SVS.
He was an engineer in Alsace before he came to buy vineyards in the Corbieres in 1995. At first he sent his grapes to the co-operative, but after one frost affected year he decided he had to come out and bottle his own wines to...
