Sparkling Furmint  |  Hungary

If Champagne is Mayfair, then this is Soho. It has character, and unlike Prosecco, it is made using exactly the same method as Champagne. It's creamy, nutty and addictive.  

LIKE CHAMPAGNE
BUT WITH FLAIR

Syrah  |  Romania

It is our flagship summer red, and won a blind taste test against French, Italian and  Spanish reds: a testament to Romania's burgeoning wine industry. It's light, smooth, and far too easy to drink.

LIKE CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
BUT MORE LAID BACK

Cabernet Sauvignon |  Israel

If Bordeaux had a quirky, mysterious uncle, this would be it. It's the same grape. Same quality. It just comes with a complicated and interesting back story. It's rich, spicy, and lip-smacky.

A BIT LIKE BORDEAUX
BUT WAY MORE COMPLEX

Feteasca Neagra & Merlot  |  Romania

The vines for this wine were planted in 1447, so it's been a labour of love. But this pale, crisp Rosé has been worth the wait. It's fresh, fruity and subtle.  

THE FIRST TRUE CHALLENGER
TO PROVENCE

Grüner Veltliner | Austria

Grüner Veltliner is the hero grape of Austria. It is to Austria what Tempranillo is to Spain. Or what Notorious B.I.G is to East Coast rap. We love this wine. It's tangy, refreshing and classy.

A MODERN DAY CLASSIC
FROM THE ALPS

Assyrtiko  |  Greece

As smooth as Chablis, but hangs out on an island, and comes from volcanic soil. The grape is Assyrtiko (ass-err-ti-co), which is indigenous to Santorini, in Greece. It's clean, creamy and moorish.

IMAGINE IF CHABLIS
HAD A COOLER COUSIN

Sauvignon Blanc  |  Romania

Romania has been making wine with this grape for 3,000 years longer than New Zealand - and with age comes wisdom.  It's crisp, aromatic and easy drinking. Pairs well with a second bottle.
