'Jolie' good Rose!

We're loving this new release from Maison Williams Chase which is very fine indeed; part aged in new Burgundian oak barrels, it has flavour in abundance and has been produced with characteristic flair. The Domaine is nestled in the heart of the South of France, spanning over 20 hectares of vines from the prestigious appellations of the Coteaux Varois en Provence and the Côtes de Provence.

The Alchemist's Gin?

Twelve Keys Gin takes inspiration from the notorious works of Basil Valentine of 1599, who's book contains twelve keys (or steps) unveiling the process of turning base metals into precious ones, the Philosopher's stone. Alchemists also believed an elixir of life could be derived from it. Founder Matthew Clifford has delved deep for his inspiration, bringing together the best minds in the spirit industry to collaborate, experiment and unearth a new spirit for the modern age.

Just Drink It!

We recently stumbled across this label made by David Cope and Simon Wibberley who don't own vineyards or a winery and yet they produce these winderfully unorthodox yet superbly drinkable wines. How's that then, you may ask? Well, David and Simon work with carefully selected farms across the Western Cape, many owned by friends, a relationship which is key to their wine's consistency and quality. The pair have as much hands-on involvement as possible, whether it be harvesting, sorting or shovelling grapes into a fermenter.
