There's great praise for this delightful pink from the rolling, verdant hillsides of Kent. In fact it's the highest-scoring rosé in England! Critic Matthew Jukes described it as "the most delicate and tender English rosés I have tasted. I love the bottle shape and design, too". Starting out in 2019, Folc is the creation of two city professionals Elisha Rai and Tom Cannon.

Holding the importance of family, friends and community at its heart, it blossomed through the start of lockdown life, producing its terrific rosé in small batches, all done locally. The grapes are sourced from small family growers, experts in their field, as is the winery in Canterbury. Chill and enjoy the delicate sunshine fruit and freshness solo or with lighter dishes.

The Guibert’s Mas de Daumas Gassac is one of the iconic estates of southern France. We’re very proud to have championed their wines since the earliest days, prior to the family’s fame. As a thank you, they make this charming white exclusively for our customers – and at a very affordable price.

Their wine story started in 1970 when Aimé and Véronique Guibert bought a chunk of the sleepy Gassac valley. Their friend and geology professor Henri Enjalbert noticed how the soils resembled those in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or and the estate now produces cuvées that cost well over £100. The Guiberts’ son Samuel created our exclusive Réserve using a rare blend of grapes and the same care that goes into his most expensive wines. Complex, weighty, fresh too.

Il Brutto comes from Puglia, home to wines with "undreamed-of character and potential" (Parker). The fruit comes from tiny plots of century-old Negroamaro and Primitivo vines – heirlooms handed down through generations.

These gnarled, twisted vines may be ugly ('brutto'), but they produce absolutely incredible grapes. Unfortunately, without a big budget to promote or make the wines, these amazing grapes were being sold off at a very low price. The growers were struggling, and property developers were circling. Those heirloom vineyards were very close to being sold off, the precious vines ripped up and bulldozed!

Angelo is a champion of the Puglia region, and he established his award-winning Cantine Due Palme cellar in the 1980s to help save the region's traditions and growers just like these ones. Recognising the quality of these old vines and their precious fruit, he enabled the vineyards to be saved. This sensational Double Gold, two-time 90pt (one from Italy's top critic Luca Maroni) Il Brutto Negroamaro Primitivo 2021 – a characteristically warming southern Italian red with a wealth of flavour.

"Attractive nose of bilberries, redcurrants, smoky and spicy notes and a touch of coffee. Full-bodied, lively and quite dense on the palate, restating its flamboyant flavors over a backdrop of well-judged oak" (Gilbert & Gaillard). One taste will transport you to southern Italy … you can almost feel the Italian sun. It's so good! Serve this treasured red with your finest roast meats or a platter of antipasti.
