Wines of the Month

Dive into our Wine of the Month series! This month, we’re uncorking two incredible wines, whilst also launching our new Case Discounts, available exclusively for our Reward Card holders. 

October Wines of the Month
Picpoul Foncalieu 2023 and Caliza Tempranillo 2022

First, the Picpoul Foncalieu 2023 is a hidden gem from the sun-soaked coastal region of Montpellier, France. This lesser-known wine in the UK, but a favourite among our team, is made from the Picpoul grape, known for producing crisp, refreshing wines. The 2023 vintage balances vibrant minerality with soft, ripe tropical fruit flavours, making it an excellent match for seafood dishes. With an ABV of 13%, it’s the perfect light yet flavourful option to enjoy with grilled fish, oysters, or a seafood platter.

70cl Bottle £12.99, available at the Farm Shop

Our second wine, the Caliza Tempranillo 2022, hails from Tierra de Castilla, Spain, and is a certified organic wine that will appeal to lovers of smooth, well-balanced reds. This deep cherry-coloured Tempranillo offers aromas of ripe strawberries and red fruits. Its approachable nature makes it an excellent pairing with a variety of dishes, from hearty pasta and grilled meats to lighter fare like cold cuts and soft cheeses. With an ABV of 13%, it’s an easy-drinking wine that’s perfect for any occasion.

70cl Bottle £10.09, available at the Farm Shop

July Wine of the Month
Oh My Orange

This month, we’re uncorking the vibrant and refreshing Oh My Orange—a perfect introduction to the world of Orange Wine.

It is often wrongly assumed that Orange Wines are made with the addition of oranges. However, it is essentially a cross between a red and white wine. When white wines are made, the skins are discarded from the grape juice prior to fermentation. To make red wine, the juice is fermented with the skin which produces the colour and this is also contains the tannins.

Orange wine is made using white grapes but following the method used to produce red wine. The orange colour comes from the amount of contact time the juice had with the skin.

Oh My Orange is made with a blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Muscat and Clairette grapes. It is delicate and smooth with notes of citrus, ripe peaches and aromatic spices. Its soft tannins result in a fresh wine with a pleasant body. A great introduction to Orange wines!

ABV: 13%

£14.49 per bottle, available at the Farm Shop
