We haven't met many wine merchants that went in to

We haven't met many wine merchants that went in to the trade expecting to become super rich in financial terms, so perhaps its a truism to say that the rewards tend to be somewhat different. Often they are based around developing connections and mutual respect - understanding the vision and authenticity of a grower and their work. Believing in their endeavours and translating that successfully in a way that is relevant and exciting for our customers. If we're lucky enough to make a living doing that then the yacht can wait.

In many ways, Bastien and Nino @ori_marani_wines represent a microcosm of why we at least continue and love our work. A project founded with the aim of championing the quality and integrity of beautiful, respectfully farmed Georgian grapes through a singlar and well defined vision, allied with the skill and bravery of a dedicated vigneron.

.
Based on a traditional method sparkling programme with reserves kept in qvevri, Ori Marani make stunning low intervention wines across the range (which includes wonderful still wines also) for such a young project. We're lucky that our customers have already adopted these wines so enthusiastically. It allows us to keep on keeping on, just as we hope each and every one of them can in the wake of this most challenging of years.

Based in Gols just East of Lake Neusiedl, Weingut Schmelzer have been biodynamic since the mid 1970s. The current, 4th generation Georg farms and nurtures 15 hectares of vines.

Wine making here is gentle and with minimal intervention. Wines are aged in neutral oak and see no sulphite additions, fining or filtration. The 'Schlicht und Ergreifend 2018' is fermented without pressing with the skins before moving by gravity to neutral barrel.

Intensely aromtic with tea, herbs, bright citrus and stone fruit aromas. This is a truly thirst quenching wine with charm and gentle grip. It also comes in at just 11% alcohol so no excuses not to finish it.

@paola_riccio_alepa has spent nearly 20 years championing this rare variety on her patchwork of vineyard, olive grove and vegetable gardens, farmed to strict organic standards.

Wild fermented in tank where vintages 2015, 2016 and 2017 were kept until blending and bottling with no filtration. Nutty, honeyed and Sherry-like with apple skin and a lemon peel freshness. A wine that resembles no other but feels like a cross between the best of Jura and Jerez.
