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.

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.

Soft and generous mouthfeel, tropical banana and with just a hint of almond on the palate. Airen is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world, in Spain it excels in the vast central region of La Mancha. Frequently used as a blending partner to accompany more acidic varieties this new No Added Sulphur white isn’t lacking any individuality or characterful presence. Pair with white meats, pasta, tapas, fish & risotto.
