Felsina Chianti Classico 2021

All Nebbiolo from Piedmont is pretty in its own way, but this has roses, acacia and so much flowy, concentrated cherry. Skip the carbs, and just enjoy another glass but take it slow so you and the palate can really unwind together.

Poderi Colla Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Fleshy strawberries and cherries with some dusky, chalky depth. Fruit was held in concrete and there was no fining or filtering, this is perfect for a LoFi devotee or a red-lover who’s a bit adventurous.

Antonio Camillo Mediterraneo Rosso 2023

Steep cliffs, sparkling waters and colourful reefs, it’s Isola d'Elba – Tuscany. The blend makes for fleshy white stone fruits a little sea spray and a line of herby acidity. Everything lines up perfectly, like the sun loungers on the beach.

La Chiusa Bianco 2023

In the piazza the other day, an elderly woman was selling dried flowers and black fruits. When she came near us, she smelt faintly of sweet earth and you could see the fruits had stained her fingertips. We were eating saffron risotto and drinking Valpolicella. Everything was perfect.

Roccolo Grassi Valpolicella Superiore 2017

Quinby's Chilli Honey

Life changing Chardonnay. Flinty with a fine line of citrus-led acidity and tension that keeps going and is so pure. We feel like decanters don’t get enough love when it comes to white wines but most fit perfectly in the fridge door.

Montalto The Elevens Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Lilly keeps bringing the stick back because you're drinking this amazing Pinot and she’s as drawn to all the blackcurrant, bramble herbs notes as you are. Deliciously savoury.

Shelter Lovely Lilly Pinot Noir 2021

A great mountain Neb for everyone. Cradling tannins, textural appeal, and a very classy-looking bottle. The expression here is pure and smooth with cherry, herb and the kind of aromatics indicative of the vineyard being in one family for over 350 years.

Tenute Sella Orbello Coste Della Sesia Nebbiolo 2022

Texture and a subtle orange glow thanks to just a moment on skins and a partial ferment in amphora. Crack it open when you want flavours that hit clean and luscious; like lemon curd, rockmelon and honeysuckle.

Eck Wines Number 2 Marsanne 2024

Cabernet Franc with a splash of early-picked Chenin Blanc. It’s nice when worlds collide for flavour-filled perfection that’s full of boysenberry and mulberry. This will do perfectly with bites of carne asada and appreciated, humorous points.

Yayoi Ferot Cab Franc Chilled Red 2024

Pals Vodka Red Peach Yuzu & Soda

Dry, dry, dry, but don’t worry, it’s not just chalk and acidity, there are golden ripe aromatics, yellow peaches and the stingiest slice of upside down pineapple cake you were offered.

Brut Dargent Blanc de Blancs NV

Barbera, Freisa and Grignolino combine for a velvety, savoury expression. Full of violets and crunchy with ripe cherries. This practically dials your local pizza joint for you, all you need to do is order, pour and enjoy the combination.

Stella Vino Rosso 2022

Delicious, slightly richer example of the varietal and very much chardonnay adjacent. All ripe fruits, from red apple and nectarine to a basket of stone fruits that all wash down with a dab of almond meal.

Russell & Suitor Alejandro Fiano 2024

Candy apple and a pulse of red currant, or grenadine – either way it’s on the money. This is a boogie wine that you will want to chill, time in the fridge will free up all those fresh raspberry flavours that pour like the juice of a velvet-laced strawberry icy pole.

Scion M Town Dry Skin Contact Muscat 2023

Some barrel-ferment that lets the quality fruit shine through. Rich with passionfruit and some stone fruit plus a flicker of lemongrass. Perfect with Thai and Greek alike, or helping the plot progress when watching an average movie.

Amisfield Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pitch-perfect Yarra Chardonnay, right down to the clean stone fruit and nougat notes that are smeared onto a woven thread of framing oak and fresh acidity. You'll love it every night of the week, but pair it with soft cheeses to make it an occasion.

Martingale Chardonnay 2023

You'll love all the grapefruit peels and almond blossoms that slowly rattle off into a savoury finish. It’s sweet and savoury balanced, and it’s yet another reason why you should head (back) to Italy, or keep coming into Blackhearts and picking up more Italian wines.

Villa Diana Terre di Chietti Pecorino 2023

Crispy apple crunch wrapped in liquid gold that drips down with bitter almond skins. It’s a side-step for a Rhône Valley white wine lover that holds onto some savouriness and goes very well with creaminess.
