Aba de Trasumia, Albarino, Rias Baixas, Spain, 2025
From the tiny Moraima co-operative (just 11 partners and only 11 hectares of vineyards), and part sourced from ancient trellised vines, this is as refreshing as the Atlantic Ocean which laps the Rias Baixas. Ripe lemon and bright apricot come together brilliantly, with a fine vein of acidity. With the merest hint of salinity, this is open and easy to enjoy on any occasion and terrific with a platter of fruits de mer. Now-2028

Wickhams Road, Chardonnay, Yea Valley, 2023
Like the Yarra, the Yea Valley in Victoria is high and cool. Winemaker Franco D'Anna of Hoddles Creek says this is “made in exactly the same manner as the Estate range”, fermented in older barrels and with “a purity of fruit and a beautiful line of acid”. Melon scented. Linear Chardonnay with a racy edge. Now-2028
“A light, bright, green gold. With its aromas of stone fruits, a touch of grilled nuts and a hint of matchstick, you have to wonder how winemaker Franco...

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is one of the most-widely planted varieties in the world.
Arguably not the most characterful grape, hence its common ageing in oak, yet at its pinnacle in Burgundy it produces some of the greatest (and certainly most expensive) white wines in the world. Look out for unoaked Chardonnay, it can make a pleasant change, and usually goes down very well with all those people who...

Chateau du Seuil, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, 2025
This is our top selling Provence rosé. Chateau du Seuil is located, north of the beautiful town of Aix-en-Provence on plains 350m above sea level. The vines have been farmed organically since 2020 and the elevated aspect gives the wines a beautiful freshness and focus. Grenache leads the way here with Syrah, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon completing the blend. The 2025 vintage in Provence was hot and dry producing concentrated, ripe wines. This has delicate orange blossom, redcurrant and...

Grenache / Garnacha
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...

Domaine des Garriguettes, Cotes du Rhone Rouge, Le Beret Bleu, 2024
The 100% Cinsault 2024 Le Beret Bleu is Sebastien’s homage to the wines of his grandfather Jean, who appears on the label. This is a pure expression of grape and soil. Very pure on the nose with pretty, perfumed raspberry fruit alongside some floral violet notes. The twinkle-toed palate follows through with just crushed bilberry and damson galore. There is just enough tannin to frame the fruit and add the necessary backbone. The 12% alcohol is remarkably low for this part of France...

La Chapelle des Bois, Fleurie, Grand Pre, 2025
This is the best known and best loved of the Chapelle des Bois wines and has plenty of the classic floral notes Fleurie is famous for. Bright youthful purple with vibrant red-berried and black-cherried fruit and the depth to match a simply roasted loin of pork. 13.5%. Now-2029
Cru (from the 10 Cru villages) Beaujolais remains undervalued. The levity and charm of juicy Gamay is out of fashion presumably because people still hold bad memories of thin Beaujolais Nouveau. But with...

Beaujolais
"…if red wine can be nubile, this red wine is" - Andrew Jefford, in The New France
That immediate fruitiness of the Gamay grape, allied to refreshing acidity, moderate alcohol levels - usually 12.5 degrees to 13 degrees - and ability to be served cool (don’t overchill, or you won’t taste anything), makes Beaujolais the definitive summer...

Gamay
Gamay is Beaujolais! Lovely medium to light red wine, with fresh acidity for summer drinking with great potential for ageing in good vintages.
Also planted in: the Loire; odd new plantings in New World, e.g. New Zealand

Le Tende, Bardolino Classico, 2025
This has quickly become a firm favourite with both customers and the SVS team. Made from 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella, organically grown on the banks of Lake Garda, it is a brilliant summer red. The 2025 leaps out of the glass with cherry and wild strawberry aromas backed up by a delightful floral note. The palate is light and juicy with more strawberry fruit and hints of raspberry coulis. Very fresh and bright with just enough tannin to give the all important structure and depth. Try it...
