Highly drinkable beautifully balanced orange wine. Exactly the way we like it. All-star blend of Chardonnay, Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon and a little bit of Traminer. Well structured with gastronomic appeal. Comes in cute minimagnums (1L)

Can't think of a better amber wine for the induction into the category.

Get into Italodisco vibes with this Lambrusco style red sparkling. Juicy blend of two carb-macerated Cabernets (Sauvignon & Franc) infused with aromatic Malvasia and Pálava. Light touch of tannins, fizz and burst of dark fruits to ensure high drinkability. Properly chill and enjoy summer anytime in the year.

Simply Senzational !!!

Juicy fruity natural wine seasoned with pepper. Savoury and floral (violets).
Tannins are ripe and sandy by texture, attacking the front of your mouth. Gluglu easy drinking wine, despite 14% Alc. Drink when thirsty while wine is young.

Blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault. Younger wines (15-30 years old) from Clay-limestone soils in Montbrison Sur Lez and Valréas of Côtes-du-Rhône.

Winemaking of this negoce project of Maxime François Laurent is identical to the one of his mother's (Michèle Aubèry-Laurent) famous biodynamic Domaine Gramenon. Maxime buys organically grown grapes from his friend. As in Gramenon, fruit is partially de-stemmed keeping the rest in whole bunches. Maceration lasts for 15 days in cement tanks o extract flavours and intense colours. Fermentation is done with native yeasts. Wine is then agied in oak barriques for 6 months and preserves its fruity freshness.

These natural wines rarely see sulfites, only up to 2g/hl when needed after malolactic fermentation. No fining, no filtration.

Effortless drinking unpretentious red for anyone. Sold in minimagnums (1L) at a bargain price (€16). Purple colour, medium-light body. Cool blend of Pinot Noir, Blaufrankisch, and aromatic St.Laurent. Might become your favourite table wine.

This super drinkable rosé pét-nat is a mix of red and white grapes. It has this mouthwatering bright acidity (thanks to Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc) and red-berries fruit profile we should blame Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt for. Refreshing as a chilled watermelon on a hot summer day.

You don't need a permission to open another BumBumCha!

Liquid electricity. One of my favourites with sexy kombucha flavour and elecric acidity. So intense and rich field blend from sandy Sahary vineyard. Neuburg makes its core, Müller Thurgau brings flesh on the bones and Muscat wraps it all up in floral bouquet.

Pét-nat supercharged with freshness!

2019 vintage seems hotter, gained more weight, but maintains its signature acidic structure. Herbal character. Creaminess is more prominent this year. Lemon peel accent in the finish. I prefer this one over 2018 as it feels less edgy, however 14% alcohol is difficult to hide.

This Domaine is founded and owned by Aubert de Villaine of DRC and his wife Pamela. It is directed by his nephew Pierre de Benoist. Yields are kept low and vineyards are farmed organically and following biodynamic principles.⁣
⁣
Bouzeron is the appellation dedicated to Aligote.⁣
Before it's obtained its own village appellation in 1997 mostly due to the advocacy of Aubert, it was sold as Bourgogne Aligote de Bouzeron.⁣

From magnum.

Slightly macerated blend of Gruner Veltliner, Neuburger, Sauvignon, Pálava and Riesling. This makes it an easy drinking light orange wine with muscat like aromas of rose water. Chill it properly and enjoy with food as it is exactly what Forks & Knives has been made for.

This hard to beat glou-glou wine is a dream-team mix of red grapes, including light Pinot Noir and fruity Blaufrankisch, complemented with two Cabs (Sauv & Franc) and Zweigelt. The resulting low-alcoholic (10%) red pairs nicely with fine streetfood of your choice or ideal for ladie's night out. Joyful carbonic touch turns on the party mood.

So addictive, stock up magnums!

Serve hell-chilled, with an open mind as Milan himself suggests. Deep purple color, almost black. Full of dark fruits and wild berries. Pleasant concentration, low tannins and lively acidity make this fruit forward red a highly drinkable crowd pleaser with only 11% Alc.

Half of this blend is Dornelder, one third is Zweigelt and the rest are the whites. Winemakeing is classic with ageing for about a year in 600l oak barrels.
