Better wine, your way.

Or Blanc

By Trosset Fabien

Savoie • France

Altesse, Jacquère

Or Blanc by Trosset Fabien is a crisp, no-nonsense white from Savoie in eastern France. You get tart green apple, a bit of citrus, and a clean mineral thing going on—nothing too fancy or overpowering. It’s dry and light, but doesn’t feel watery or boring. This is one for when you want something refreshing that actually tastes of something, but won’t steal the show from your dinner. Works great with fish, salads, or just as a pre-dinner glass. No oak, no fuss, and definitely not a vanilla bomb. Just clean, honest white wine.

Punta Drago Etna Rosso

By Tenuta Ferrata

Etna • Sicilia • Italy

Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio

Punta Drago Etna Rosso is classic Sicilian red—lively, food-friendly, and not too heavy. Expect bright cherry and raspberry flavours, a bit of earthy edge from those volcanic soils, and a nice kick of fresh acidity that keeps things interesting. It's not rich or oaky; more about freshness and subtle spice. This is a great all-rounder for pizza night, pasta, or anything with tomato sauce. If you like Pinot Noir or lighter reds, you'll get on well with this. Easy to drink, but with enough bite to keep you reaching for another glass. Serve slightly cool.

Crozes-Hermitage Calendes

By Ferraton Pere & Fils

Hermitage • Rhône • France

Syrah

Crozes-Hermitage Calendes from Ferraton Pere & Fils is a proper Rhône Syrah—straightforward, medium-bodied, and not trying too hard. You’ll get blackberries, a bit of black pepper, and some earthy, meaty vibes. Tannins are there, but not mouth-coating; just enough to be noticed. It isn’t super heavy or oaky, so you can drink it on a weeknight with burgers, roast chicken, or stew. Not a showstopper, just reliably tasty if you want something red, French, and easy to get along with. Serve it slightly cool if you like that sort of thing.

Aszu 5 Puttonyos

By Disznoko

Tokaj • Hungary

Furmint, Hárslevelű, Sárgamuskotály

Tokaj’s Disznoko Aszu 5 Puttonyos is Hungary’s answer to dessert wine, but it’s not just sugar in a glass. This stuff is lush and honeyed, sure, but there’s a sharp kick of apricot, citrus, and enough acidity to keep it fresh instead of cloying. It’s rich and silky but never heavy. Sipping this is more like eating spiced marmalade with a spoon than knocking back a sweet cider. It will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth, especially if you’re pairing it with blue cheese, fruit tarts, or just having it instead of dessert. Best shared at the end of a good meal, either to impress a mate or just treat yourself. Don’t bother if you’re not into sweeter wines—this isn’t trying to be subtle.

Moulis-en-Medoc

By Château Poujeaux

Moulis-en-Medoc • Bordeaux • France

Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Château Poujeaux's Moulis-en-Medoc is classic Bordeaux with zero nonsense. It tastes like dark berries and blackcurrants, with just enough oak and a bit of earthy, savoury edge. The tannins are there, but they're not attacking your mouth—just giving structure. This is medium to full-bodied, smooth enough to drink young but gets better if you leave it a few years. Food-wise, it's a safe bet with roast beef, burgers, or even a Friday night pizza. Basically, if you want a proper red for dinner that’s all about balance and not showing off, this is it.

Le Vallon de Barde Haut

By Château Barde Haut

Saint-Emilion Grand Cru • Bordeaux • France

Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a smooth, medium-bodied Bordeaux with the usual suspects: blackcurrant, plum, and a hint of spice. It’s got enough grip to keep steak or roast chicken company, but isn’t too heavy to put you to sleep. Tannins are noticeable but not rough, and there’s just the right amount of freshness to keep you coming back for another glass. Don’t expect anything wild; this is classic, reliable claret territory—solid for Sunday dinners or a decent burger night. No need to decant for hours, but it’ll open up a bit if you give it time. If you like reds that don’t mess around, this fits the bill.
