Celtic Marches Thundering Molly 5.2%

Forget any notions of quaint, long-established family wineries, Guillaume Letang is a “driving winemaker” (like a flying winemaker but more prone to homesickness.) Originally from northern Burgundy but now based in Macon, he scours southern France for odd little exciting plots of vines on which he can work his magic. Venturing off piste a few years ago, he came across a fabulous parcel of old Carignan vines from which he has moulded this hearty but beautifully balanced red. Treat it to a plate of game or a rustic stew and watch it come to life,

Dry-farmed Grenache from the slopes of Wellington, the early picked grapes are gently pressed and the juice allowed to settle for 24 hours before decanting. The wine was racked and naturally fermented in tank, then transferred to bottle to complete the fermentation. No dosage added.

A pale coral pink colour from just a few hours in the press. Fresh, vibrant red berry and citrus fruit aromas with lightly yeasty notes. Bright and refreshing with tangy cherry and plum fruit balanced by crisp acidity.

Vodka Espresso Coffee Liqueur An authentic full strength espresso martini made by leading bartender Pietro Collina. The Espresso Martini is a sophisticated modern classic cocktail that combines vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur. Created in the 1980s by London bartender Dick Bradsell, it was born when a customer (legend has it this was supermodel Naomi Campbell) requested a drink to "wake me up and then **** me up." The cocktail became an instant hit, known for its bold coffee flavour and creamy froth. Staying true to this, our espresso martini is full strength, and full flavour. Chill well. Shake the can for at least 12 seconds to create foam, pour entire contents into a coupe glass (180-200ml glass). Garnish with 2-3 coffee beans.
