## Bourgogne Tonnerre Les Huées, £27 



#### Jérémy Arnaud 2022 



 

Jérémy Arnaud is one of Burgundy’s rising stars, making expressive, low-intervention wines with organic methods and hands-on care. His chardonnay is a crisp, mineral-driven gem with citrus, white peach and a hint of toasted almond, aged in neutral oak and concrete eggs for subtle roundness. Clean, precise and full of energy, it’s a perfect introduction to natural wine – proving it can be elegant, not eccentric. Pair with grilled sea bass, roasted chicken or creamy pasta for a match that showcases the depth and authenticity small producers bring to the table.

## Morgon, £32.99 



#### Jean Foillard 2021 



 

Vibrant, silky and effortlessly cool, Jean Foillard’s 2021 Morgon is a masterclass in natural winemaking. A pioneer of the movement, Foillard farms organically, uses native yeasts, and keeps sulphur to a minimum, allowing pure gamay fruit and terroir to shine. Expect juicy red cherry, wild strawberry and a touch of earthy spice, all wrapped in a smooth, elegant texture. Serve it slightly chilled with charcuterie, burgers or roast chicken – it’s incredibly versatile and proof that natural wine can be as polished and delicious as any classic.

## Crozes-Hermitage, £32.99 



#### Alain Graillot 2021 



 

This is my favourite bottle. Alain Graillot’s Crozes-Hermitage is a benchmark for natural Syrah – soulful, stylish and deeply expressive. Organically farmed and fermented with wild yeasts and whole clusters, it’s aged in old oak and concrete to let the fruit and terroir shine. Expect vibrant blackberries, dark cherries, black olive and cracked pepper, with a silky yet structured texture and bright acidity. It’s serious but approachable, perfect for everything from grilled lamb chops and roast chicken to burgers and charcuterie. This is natural wine at its most refined – authentic, drinkable and cool enough to bring to the best dinner party.

## Baby Bandito ‘Keep Punching’, £19.25 



#### Testalonga 2024 



 

Natural wine can be a wild ride, but this bottle keeps things deliciously simple. It ticks all the right boxes in terms of organic farming and low-intervention philosophy, without veering into anything too edgy or unfamiliar.

#### Štajerska Kollektiv 2021 



 

This Slovenian red is as feel-good as it gets. Produced by small farmers and rooted in a bigger agricultural philosophy, it’s approachable, easy to drink and brilliantly priced. Crunchy black cherry, redcurrants and a hint of spice make it a juicy, crowd-pleasing pour. Whether you’re vibing to Barry White or hosting a 2am pizza party, this bottle brings the fun without compromising on quality.

## De Branco, £26.95 



#### Antonio Madeira 



 

Antonio Madeira is a standout winemaker in Portugal’s Dão region. His Branco is a knockout blend of native white grapes like Encruzado and Bical. Co-fermented for complexity, it’s flinty and fresh with ripe stone fruit and a whisper of white pepper. Elegant yet expressive, it’s the kind of wine that keeps surprising you. Pair with oysters and french fries, and settle in for reruns of your favourite TV show – this one’s got soul and charm in equal measure.

If you're new to natural wine, this gewürztraminer from Domaine Moltès is a gentle and joyful introduction. Spontaneous and approachable, it’s a gateway bottle that invites you to explore the style without intimidation.

A true standout in a region steeped in tradition, this cuvée from Domaine La Peyre is a benchmark for organic winemaking. It’s vibrant and expressive, with aromas of citrus, red berries, verbena and pineapple. On the palate, it offers ripeness and depth, balanced by a refreshing lift.

## ‘Little Bee': Skin-Contact Wine, £24 



#### Sandridge Barton, Devon 2023 



 

For those curious about orange wine but unsure where to start, our Little Bee wine offers the perfect introduction. Pale orange in colour, the nose opens with inviting aromas of peach and orange zest. On the palate, expect a vibrant burst of stone fruit and citrus, all wrapped in soft tannins and a tangerine-like acidity that keeps things fresh and lively. It pairs beautifully with things like grilled squid, tagines or sushi.

## Principiano ‘Dosset’ Vino Rosso, £17.50 



#### Principiano Ferdinando 



 

This Dolcetto from Piedmont is a brilliant pick that won’t break the bank. Made entirely from the Dolcetto grape, it’s bursting with ripe red berries and boasts a mouth-watering acidity that makes it a true crowd pleaser. On the nose, expect cooked strawberries, red cherries and a hint of violet. The palate follows through with more juicy red fruit, a touch of earthiness, and a rounded, energetic finish. It’s the kind of wine that begs to be paired with Italian classics – think pizza, tomato-based ragù or even a rich wild boar sauce.

## Domaine Jamet, Rhône, £137 



#### Côte-Rôtie 2021 



 

Stay with me – yes this is expensive, but Domaine Jamet’s Côte Rôtie is a masterclass in terroir-driven winemaking. It channels the soul of the Northern Rhône with remarkable precision and elegance. The nose is rich with dark fruits, spice and black olive, while the palate leans into a savoury, gamey profile that’s both bold and well balanced. It’s this layered complexity – earthy yet refined – that makes it a standout. For pairing, nothing beats a BBQ lamb leg, where the smoky richness of the meat mirrors the wine’s depth and intensity.
