2014 Domaine Loic Mahe, Savennieres 'Les Fougeraies'
Regular price £38.70 Save £-38.70ABOUT THE WINE
Having worked as a consultant for other wineries, Brittany-born Loïc couldn't wait to start his own, and so in 2011 he purchased 11 hectares spread between Savennières and La Franchaie, Certified organic and non-interventionist, Loïc prefers to let the effects of the seasons and terroir dominate the character of his wines. Grapes are exclusively picked by hand, with careful sorting to ensure quality fruit. Fermentation is slow, using natural yeasts and minimal sulphites, with maturation in oak barrels or small tanks.
TASTING NOTES
A Savennières of pleasure that combines the power of the terroir with a beautiful structure. Very dry, yet generous, with an unctuous character balanced by fresh acidity and impressive complexity - apple and pear fruit, with a hint of nuttiness and a touch of earth on the finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal with fish, especially where they are cooked in powerfully flavoured sauces, but it will also be a good match with white meat (chicken, pork, veal) and creamy sauces.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
With a white of this complexity it is advisable to decant 30 minutes to an hour before serving; this wine will age beautifully for up to 15 years from vintage.
2017 Roebuck Estates, Rose
Regular price £38.60 Save £-38.60ABOUT THE WINE
Roebuck Estates are one of the newer players on the English wine scene (oldest vines planted in 2006), now spanning over 200,000 vines across four sites in the beautiful county of Sussex. With various soil types and plantings, including Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, the team has plenty of elements working in their favour to create award-winning, classic English sparkling wines. Despite being somewhat new, their estate is earning some much-deserved critical acclaim, winning several awards, including Best in Show, Decanter 2020. An estate on the rise!
TASTE NOTES
The fruit is whole-bunch pressed and partially fermented in the finest French oak casks followed by a generous lees ageing of 36 months in bottle. A splash of Pinot Précoce is added before release imparting an attractive pale pink hue and ripe red fruit characteristics on this wine. Fragrant aromas of wild strawberries, white peach and rose petals. An expressive palate displaying notes of ripe red fruits, honeysuckle and white blossom. The wine is perfectly balanced with a bright seam of acidity, a fine persistent mousse and a long yet elegant length.
An excellent aperitif! Great accompaniment to shellfish, salmon blinis or a light strawberry dessert.
2022 Domaine Guerrin & Fils, Pouilly Fuisse 1er Cru La Maréchaude
Regular price £38.50 Save £-38.50ABOUT THE WINE
The estate was created in 1926, in the heart of the village of Vergisson. Today the 4th generation of the family Guerrin cultivates their terroir with the same passion and rigour as their great-grandparents before them. The estate covers a total area of 14 hectares split between more than 35 small plots. This exceptional diversity of terroirs gives each of their wines a very distinct character.
TASTING NOTES
Hailing from the Pouilly-Fuissé premier cru vineyard La Maréchaude, this mellow yet flamboyant 100% Chardonnay is a true expression of its distinguished terroir. The nose unveils a sophisticated medley of ripe stone fruit, touched with nuances of blooming white flowers and toasty hazelnuts. On the palate, it is a symphony of balance and subtlety, combining a graceful minerality with a refined structure. The wine undergoes a slow fermentation in French oak barrels, with 20% new, followed by lees-ageing complemented by regular batonnage.
FOOD PAIRING
A gastronomic delight, this wine partners beautifully with a pan-seared sea bass served with a creamy leek fondue or a slow-roasted chicken with hazelnut and herb stuffing. An artisanal goat cheese tart with a salad of fresh greens, topped with candied walnuts, also makes for a harmonious pairing. Standalone, it serves as an enchanting aperitif that sets a sophisticated tone for any gathering.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
La Maréchaude, positioned at the northern edge of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, is famed for producing Chardonnay of distinct elegance and finesse. The vineyard's unique location on the slopes of the Roche de Vergisson and white limestone soils imbue the wine with a refreshing mineral character, beautifully offsetting the richness derived from lees-stirring and barrel ageing. This is a stellar expression of Pouilly-Fuissé's potential.

The estate covers a total area of 14 hectares split between more than 35 small plots. This exceptional diversity of terroirs gives each of their wines a very distinct character.
TASTING NOTES
The nose is a complex combination of apricot aromas with hints of white flowers and hazelnuts. Characterful and exceptionally well-balanced; on the palate it is almost delicate, with taut precision and chalky minerality. Slow fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, 20% new, followed by lees-ageing with regular batonnage.
FOOD PAIRING
A superb, rich white Burgundy meant for confits, crab, clam chowder, chicken escalope and creamy leek soup.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
From a unique site, high on the slopes of the Roche de Vergisson, on white limestone soils. The east winds imbue this wine with the fresh, mineral character which balances the hefty flavours derived from lees-stirring (batonnage) and barrel-age. This is Pouilly-Fuissé at its finest.

TASTING NOTES
Sash & Fritz is a vodka with flavour. Yellow fruit and citrus meet a subtle sweetness, a hint of salt and a slightly tart finish. The delightful flavours linger long on the palate. A vodka that is absolutely not neutral.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Sash & Fritz is excellent in all vodka cocktails. Try in a Martini, or mix things up with a German twist on a classic Mule cocktail. Great in a Bloody Mary too!
FRIARWOOD SAYS
This multi award-winning vodka challenges our perception of vodka as a neutral spirit, with an exceptional flavour profile and incredible attention to detail.
2016 Chateau Saint Georges (Saint Emilion)

TASTING NOTES
Keeping some of the fruity complexity of its early youth, affirming itself and is giving way to a spicy, toasted bouquet with floral notes. Its elegance is confirmed by the good balance in the mouth from tannins which are already well developed and where the floral and toasted elements combine well together in harmony.
FOOD PAIRING
Delicious with highly flavoured dishes and all red meats. Best served at 16°C
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Nice complexity, this is a wine to savour with food.

Anything but ordinary is the Mission for Ben. It started with Ben’s Canteen, his restaurant in South West London. The plan then was to create more drinks that were anything but ordinary. Ben is a big Gin lover, so the next step was a London Dry Gin. Their Signature Gin was inspired by Ben’s trips to Mallorca where he dreamt up the business. In the summer of 2019, influenced by Wimbledon Tennis, he produced the first batch of their Pink Gin which tastes of Strawberries & Cream; a celebration of British summers.
TASTING NOTES
Juniper forms the base of the aromas, with honey and orange which give the gin a pleasant distinctive taste. Deliciously smooth and wonderfully refreshing.
FOOD PAIRING
Best served with high-quality tonic water, a slice of orange and a sprig of lavender.

TASTING NOTES
Inspired by Wimbledon Tennis this gin is smooth and complex, with an almost Port-like richness. Unlike most pink gins, this is not a liqueur. It has loads of juniper aroma and isn’t anywhere near as sweet as it looks. At 43% it has plenty of intensity. This is a premium Pink Gin!
FOOD PAIRING
Delicious when enjoyed neat but excellent with aromatic tonic and fresh strawberries.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Originally only used in cocktails at Ben's Canteen for Wimbledon, it proved to be so popular that Ben decided it needed to be produced full time. This pink gin is a true celebration of British Summer, locally made in Balham!

Domaine les 3 Cellier was thus born on August 1st, 2007, with the breakup of Domaine Saint Benoit. The Cellier family retained 13.4 hectares of vines, all within the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation.

Production is very low, less than 100 cases per vintage. This wine has a pale yellow colour tinted with a hint of green. The distinctive personality of Roussanne gives a powerful and complex wine, harmoniously balanced, with aromas of flowers and spice - paprika and fenugreek. The mouth is powerful but pleasant with a final soft and unctuous, yet dry, finish. This wine can be kept in a good cellar for 8 to 10 years.
FOOD PAIRING
Perfect with scallops or ravioli stuffed with goat cheese and honey. It should be drunk at a temperature between 12° to 14° C - a tad less cold than other white wines.
