- Looking for a change of scenery? This is the gin you need. Inspired by the spice route and a time when merchants had to travel thousands of kilometers to deal and trade them, its style will no-doubt captivate you. Round, well-balanced and graced with a well-integrated alcohol sensation, it offers spicy aromas marked by Indonesian cubeb berry, tellicherry pepper and cardamom from India, as well as scents of cumin.
- A few kilometers from Barolo, the area of La Morra welcomes this Piedmontese domain belonging to the Grasso family since 1927. Without being certified, their approach follows the principles of organic farming. Bold blend of Syrah, Nebbiolo and Merlot, this Langhe is stunning. Peppery, floral, fruity, mineral, it reveals itself magnificently!

The «Monologo» wine range was born from a desire to express the personality of a single variety of grape, from a precise and qualitative place. This one is all about the Arinto grape variety, one of those authorized under the Vinho Verde appellation. Its aromas of citrus and green apple are complemented by scents reminiscent of celery salt and by a delicate touch of smoke. Original and full of character, this is a very nice cuvée to discover!
-
For three generations, the Eymann family, pioneers of organic and biodynamic viticulture in Germany, have produced true and precise wines with an artisanal approach that respects the environment. The Gönnheimer Riesling, from this village in the Palatinate, reflects this philosophy: a straightforward, unpretentious wine, vinified with minimal intervention to let the terroir speak for itself. A vibrant white that you'll enjoy with ceviche, fried calamari, or grilled fish drizzled with lemon.

A "grey wine" is a wine tinted by a short contact with the skins of a "grey" grape, graced with a slightly pink skin, during pressing. This cuvée presents itself with a sweetness that brings volume to the mouth. You’ll love it with sweet and salty starters such as a melon and Feta salad.
-
On the terroirs of the northern tip of the Médoc, Château Rollan de By has established itself for several decades as a trusted name among Bordeaux's Crus Bourgeois. The 2015 vintage, exceptional for its maturity and balance, offers a cuvée of great elegance, generous and at the top of its game. An opportunity to savour a wine that has evolved with a mushroom risotto or a classic Bordeaux-style rib-eye steak.
