Celler Vega Aixala, Brutal Roussanne 2019£27.50

Country: Spain; Region: Conca de Barbera; Grapes: Roussanne; Vintage: 2019. Vega Aixalà's story began in 2003, with the realisation of a childhood fascination, recuperating the nearly abandoned vineyard of their grandfather, from which in the past wine had been made at home the traditional way. Over their first three years, the family planted new vineyards, now covering 10 hectares on steep terraces of black llicorella slate, at between 800 and 900 metres altitude. The climate here is very dry, with cold winters and moderate summers, which, along with low rainfall and diurnal range during the ripening of the grape, help to protect their vines from many of the plagues by which they would normally be affected. The steep terraces make difficult work in the vineyards, hand harvesting essential, giving limited but high quality production of just 3000 kilogrammes per hectare, of grapes with optimal balance and ripeness. They work organically and carefully follow the cycles of the lunar calendar, and make only minimum interventions in the winery. 100% Roussanne from 16 year old vines. without skin maceration. 'BRUTAL!!!' is a reference to the Brutal Wine Corporation that set up a new way for wines to be produced. Zero/zero - meaning no input in the vineyard and none in the cellar. Maximum production of 1 small barrel or 200 bottles. Even more, it is insisted that the wine should be bottled with some sort of technical fault, but that fault is to become part of the beauty of the wine and should get better as time goes on. Expect the unexpected!

Ciello, Unfiltered/Unfined Catarratto 2018£12.00

Country: Italy; Region: Sicily; Grapes: Catarratto; Vintage: 2018.

Night harvesting and modern temperature controlled fermentations result in a bright, fresh Catarratto with a wonderful nose of white grape juice, mouth-filling with notes of pink grapefruit, peach hints, lemon pith, and apple and a slight spiciness from the lees which is almost reminiscent of fresh olive oil

The vineyards are on clay and limestone soils at 300m altitude, untilled, keeping cover crops, grasses, herbs and flowers to shade and keep moisture in the soil and maintain biodiversity within the environment, lending complexity in the wines.

His wines are fresh, characterful and lively, continually working to make the best possible wines without sulphites. La Salada wines were made in the Mas Candí bodega until 2017, and there has been a clear influence and exchange of styles between

Country: Austria; Region: Burgenland; Grapes: Gruner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Muscat Ottonel, Neuburger, Traminer, Muller Thurgau; Vintage: 2018.

A small sulphite addition, unfined, unfiltered, aromas of fresh almonds, tropical fruits and mandarine, then on the palate a pleasant slightly smoky finish.

Not very far from Nimes, Christian and Nadia Charmasson have been cultivating their small plot of happiness for more than 15 years. It took Christian and Nadia a few years to gradually switch to biodynamic lunar calendar, fruit day, flower day, root day… on the plots, the soil is grassed over, using no tractor to plow the land but rather earthworms and biodynamic preparations based on horn silica to nourish and strengthen their vines in a completely natural way. Solaire, a 100% natural wine that lives up to its name! This cuvee displays on its label the Berber flag, in tribute to the origins of Nadia, as well as the tree of life, to illustrate the values of Christian and Nadia. The trees of life are engravings, paintings, prints or sculptures that have existed since the beginning of history and symbolize the force of life and its origins, the importance of roots. In tasting, this blend seduces with its balance between a character solar, aromatic and very fresh. A living wine that will hit the target as an aperitif around a platter of tapas or as an accompaniment to grilled fish

Nibiru, 'Grundstein' Gruner Veltliner 2017£23.00

Country: Austria; Region: Kamptal; Grapes: Gruner Veltliner; Vintage: 2017. The idea of the wines Nibiru make under the Grundstein label is that they are uncomplicated, honest and down to earth; Grundstein translating as 'groundwork', or in other words, setting the precedent. The grapes come from two parcels. One is behind the winery and has good body, texture, and overall roundness. The second parcel tends to produce a wine that is more linear, tenser and mineral in character. Blended together they complement each other perfectly. Picked at the same time, most of the grapes are whole bunch pressed and transferred to tank without racking. About 20% of the grapes are fermented separately, on skins for 5 days, pressed, and then blended into the other tank with the rest of the juice where they finished fermentation together. Kept on fine lees in steel tanks for 8 months the wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, with a small sulphur addition

Fabulas, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2016£19.00

Country: Italy; Region: Abruzzo; Grapes: Montepulciano; Vintage: 2016. The Fabulas estate is set in the simply stunning location of Majella National Park in the Italian region of Abruzzo. Located in the village of Pretoro, the Fabulas team cultivate their vines at around 600 metres above sea level, producing a range of fresh, aromatic and beautifully balanced wines. They allow sheep to roam their vineyard as they keep a check on other flora & fauna as well as providing natural fertilisation. This has to be without doubt Tony's bestseller. The story of the three towers helps though; as French troops advanced on the undefended area as the village preyed, an old man bade the cavalry to halt. When they did not, the surrounding trees spontaneously caught fire and the old man turned into St Anthony. The French beat a hasty retreat, and present day, every year, after Christmas, the people of Fara Filiorum Petri stop for a week to prepare their farchia. It is one of those festivals that expresses "belonging" to one's own land, to one's saint and to one's people. The wine is matured half on steel, half in wood barrel. Aromas of red fruits, spices, intense, with a full-bodied, nice acidity, harmonious tannins. Share over a tale with friends, or classic Italian dishes, braised meats, duck, pheasant or rabbit, or even a board of aged cheeses
