Previously the President of the local Fitou cooperative, Jean-Marc struck out by himself, looking to invest in quality and innovation, rather than quantity. This has resulted in the best Fitou we've come across! Majoring on Carignan, but with a good slug of Syrah, this is a deep-coloured, herb-laden red, redolent of the French countryside - rosemary, thyme and fruit compote.

Turkey is blessed with hundreds of indigenous grape varieties and Paşaeli is a leading light in showcasing them. Made from Çalkarası grapes, there is a refreshing savoury tang to this wine, indicative of the altitude in which the grapes were grown. A touch of orange rind, fresh cherries and tarragon on the nose. The palate is dry, with wild strawberries, herbs, and a pine nut character on the finish.

A runaway success last year, the new vintage of TR Wines' Dry Furmint is every bit as good as we hoped. Grown on Tokaji's famous volcanic soils, this mouth-watering Furmint has an electrifying lick of limey acidity coursing through it, as well as more subtle flavours of pear and quince. A stunning wine by itself this is brilliant partner for pork chops, and also extremely good with duck and goose.

This pure Monastrell is from Spain's Yecla DO, an area known for its vibrant and generous reds. It's packed with ripe and juicy fruit, with layers of jammy black cherries and a touch of liquorice. The smooth tannins make this a lovely, easy-drinking red. Great by itself, but especially good with grilled meats, pork chops and tomato-based sauces.

We love the juicy, peppery reds made from Austria’s Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt grapes, and think Tom Straka’s are some of the best we’ve tasted. This is a bright and tangy wine, packed with red cherries, alongside a delicious smoky bacon character that really appeals to us - it's very moreish! It's well matched with pulled pork or roasted duck, but doesn't need food to shine.
