A handy half of Giol’s Black Label Prosecco. Shines gold in the glass, with fine, persistent bubbles carrying bright citrus and orchard-fruit aromas. Elegant, crisp and refreshingly dry, it’s a clear step up in quality that’s ideal for festive toasts, canapés – or whenever a handy half of bubbly is called for.

A bright yet pale golden coloured Picpoul. So fresh and evocative of its maritime proximity. Wafts of sea-breeze mingle with delightful notes of citrus, apple skin and herbs. Hints of peach and exotic fruits make a fleeting appearance too. The palate is caressed at first by the gentle texture but is re-energised by the telling vibrant acidity on the finale.

The Volpi winery in Northern Italy has built an excellent reputation for its range of Organics. This well-balanced Pinot Grigio from the Veneto region is made from low yielding organic vineyards, which contribute intensity and ripeness. Pale yellow in colour, it has floral aromas of acacia and honeysuckle on the nose. The palate is fresh with flavours of lemon, white peach and melon.
