Château Sainte Marguerite Symphonie 2025
Pale onion-skin pink. Open, fresh nose of white peach, pink grapefruit, crushed strawberry and Provençal herbs. The palate is crystalline and precise — citrus drive over a delicate saline-mineral spine, fine acidity and a clean, lifted finish. A serious, food-friendly Cru Classé rosé — excellent with seafood, charcuterie, or simply on a hot day.
Boutinot Cuvée Edalise Rosé Côtes de Provence 2025
Pale salmon-pink with copper highlights. Lifted, fresh nose of wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, peach skin and crushed garrigue herbs with a saline-mineral lift. Dry and crisp on the palate with bright Mediterranean acidity, a delicate stone-fruit core and a long, savoury, almost briny finish. Drink chilled with grilled prawns, salade niçoise, ratatouille, charcuterie or simply on a summer afternoon.
Caballo Loco Blanco No. 2 NV
Pale gold with green-yellow reflections. Lifted, aromatic nose of yellow peach, apricot, ripe pear, lemon zest, white blossom and honeysuckle, with a savoury background of bruised herbs, beeswax and toasted nuts from oak. Full-bodied and textured on the palate with vivid acidity, layered stone fruit, a creamy mid-palate and a long, saline, mineral finish. Drink now to 2030.
Tramin Stoan Alto Adige 2023
Straw-gold with a pale lemon tint. Peach, ripe pear and elderflower open on the nose alongside tropical notes of pineapple and mango. The palate is fresh and precise — polished orchard fruit, crisp mineral tones and a hint of sweet spice, all held together by bright natural acidity and a long, clean finish.
Larry Cherubino Laissez Faire Field Blend 2021
Pale gold with a faint copper tint. Lifted aromatics of lychee, rose petal and lime zest give way to white peach, dried ginger and subtle waxy notes.

An idiosyncratic and compelling field blend from one of Western Australia's finest producers.

Laurens Campher Blended White 2022
Laurens Campher Blended White is a uniquely South African white blend is made in Campher’s honour, combining predominantly Chenin Blanc (54%) with smaller amounts of Sauvignon Blanc (30%), Verdehlo (12%), and Viognier (4%).
The wine is complex and intense, ranging from bright lemon, fresh pineapple, apricots and juicy nectarine to more concentrated lime marmalade as well as caramel and cream (from barrel fermentation and 11 months of maturation in mostly older French oak). On the palate the initial impression is floral (heady honeysuckle) finishing with white peaches and apricots, with hints of citrus and a fresh acidity - great persistence promising enjoyment over at least five years.
