About
No fixed tasting, no over-explaining, just a handful of bottles we’re into right now. a few simple plates and space to try things at your own pace. Start with your first glass and take it from there. If you like something, stay on it. If you don’t, move on. Staff will point you in the right direction but nothing’s over-explained. Each week runs as a new selection of loose bottles, styles and moods. Some easy, some a bit left-field. Come early, or don’t. It loosens up as the night goes on. Say that it'll be on the terrace

T’ara Rà
Cantina Giardino / Campania, Italy / 2021
Greco
From one of Campania’s highest vineyards at 650 metres in Santa Paolina. Four days on skins followed by a year in old chestnut barrels. Complex and savoury, with firm tannins, smoky depth and a long, structured finish. Serious and contemplative.

Fier Heretique
La Sorga / Montagnac, Languedoc, France / 2021
Niellucio / Muscat / Chasselas / Listan
From iron-rich clay and limestone in Cessenon-sur-Orb. Niellucio (60%) was pressed, in which whole bunches and destemmed fruit from various Muscats, Chasselas, and Listan were submerged to macerate for 45 days, followed by 7 months further ageing. Electric nose with almond, fleshy peaches, grapefruit, and blood orange. Magnificent. Medium orange/rosé.

Perill Negre
Clos Lentiscus / Catalunya, Spain / 2015
Sumoll
Old-vine Sumoll from a 16th-century estate southwest of Barcelona. Wild berries, leather and herbs, softened by long ageing in barrel and bottle. A gentle pétillance keeps it fresh and alive. Decant if you prefer it still.
