The wine starts with a greenish-gold colour & possesses energetic aromatics that seem to leap from the glass. Vibrant citrus & floral notes weave around a subtle core of crushed stones & Anjou pear. The rocky soil of the Soberanes Vineyard gives this wine minerality & texture unique to this stony site. Select vines from the 2014 vintage were fermented Foudre (in a large oval oak cask), which adds depth & focus. The palate unfolds into a seemingly endless plateau of texture that expands into a beautiful & crisp finish. ...

Pitu is a Brazilian spirit made from pure sugar cane. Only the sugar-cane juice from the first pressings is used for export. This juice contains the fresh, pure taste. A maturing process of several weeks in a wooden vat allows this taste to unfold completely. The quality achieved in this way forms the ideal basis for a Premium Caipirinha
- Cut a lime into eight pieces, place in glass, add 1-2 teaspoons of cane sugar, squeeze out the lime juice with the Pitu pestle, add 6cl of Pitu, fill the glass with crushed ice, stir & enjoy!

A crisp elderflower & cucumber gin. Ever seen a pixie cry? Probably not. But if you did, you would find yourself inexplicably driven to slurp them up. Or add them to a measure of your favourite tonic. Or just enjoy straight on the rocks... Mainly because of the crisp elderflower & cucumber infusion locked away in every drop, but the glittering green shimmer doesnt hurt either. Give the beautiful glass bottle a shake & unleash the sparkle. The perfect spirit to serve to all the elves that are lucky enough to be invited to your lush, verdant glade. Or all the mates round your house. Whatever. ...

An intriguing wine with an extraordinary vital energy based on wild fruits, wild strawberries, mulberry & pomegranate. An extremely gastronomic version of Cerasuolo which we like very much for its meaty peppery notes. In the mouth the wine reflects its olfactory impressions & thus we happily re-encounter the black pepper mixed with carob & sweet cherries. Quick on the palate with a very savoury rounded finish with hints of mulberry. ...

Single-variety Chardonnay whose characteristics which has made it so famous which here emerge very clearly. Starting from the richness of its deep clear golden but transparent colour one imagines the pleasing contrast of creaminess & crispness in the taste. It is indeed a soft white wine underlaid by a refreshing acid vein which accompanies each mouthful. A slight mineral suggestion combines harmoniously with the flavour of ripe yellow peaches, acacia honey & marzipan & with some peaty, cereal & toasted aromas which precede the powerful balanced finish. ...

Deep straw yellow in colour with a green hue. Intense & full of character, with integrated aromatic notes of citrus & tropical fruit, white peach, pink grapefruit & wisteria. On the palate it has plenty of character with elegantly mineral elements. The acidity is well integrated with the fruit, making for a harmonious whole which is without a doubt one of the finest examples of this variety to be found anywhere on the planet. An excellent partner for full flavoured starters, fresh goats cheese (especially Sicilian!) or rich seafood. In Sicilian cuisine it is paired with oranges, fennel & anchovy salad, stuffed sardines, spaghetti with seafood, lobster or pasta with Trepan pesto. The grapes are crushed & destemmed; the juice is clarified through settling overnight & then inoculated with a selected pure yeast. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, where it is kept on its lees for five months before a light fining & bottling. ...
