Discover wine’s possibilities

“Wine is the divine juice of September.” — Voltaire

As the autumn weather eschews predictability and vignerons attend to their fields at the culminating moment of harvest, we toast to the season's transitions.

This month’s selections feature producers such as Bodegas Benito Urbina and Domaine Luneau-Papin whose families have been crafting wine for generations and whose lives call for attentive watch and meticulous adaptation to their living vineyards.

Cheers, to unearthing wine discoveries.

P.S. We were honoured to be shortlisted for the Decanter 2023 UK Retailer awards, so it was a wonderful surprise to be awarded Best wine Subscription Club by the most respected voice in the industry. It’s a testament to our team, its grit and ingenuity, but ultimately our members make everything possible. We love that you’re sharing your wine adventure with us. - Ben, CEO & Founder
