A small-production Tuscan blend that delivers serious quality for a by-the-glass pour. Its mix of bright Sangiovese and smooth Merlot makes it both distinctive and universally appealing — the kind of our wine guests remember because it drinks far above its price point.

From a historic Bordeaux estate producing limited-volume whites with a clean, modern style. It stands out because Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux is far less common on UK lists than Loire or New Zealand options — offering something familiar but uniquely French and terroir-driven.
