Lysa Pinot Gris
£19.95
After 23 vintages (including in Chianti Classico, Barossa, Napa and the Rhône), Guillaume Nell decided to pursue his dream and start Lysa Wines (Old Norse for ‘bring in the light’). His philosophy is that great wine is the culmination of carefully managed vineyards and that wine should clearly communicate the context of the grapes. His vision is to make wines that challenge the norm.
This Pinot Gris is absolutely delicious; juicy with some richness and depth but not cloying or heavy. There is a delicacy and balance that speaks of careful winemaking and great vineyards.
A very special wine that is really versatile with food; rich enough to stand up to spicy Asian cuisine but just as at home with simple grilled fish or salads. A real find and heartily recommended.

Soave Classico, Monte Tondo
Monte Tondo is a family estate located in the beautiful hillside vineyards of Soave. Here the soils range from volcanic to chalky, which alongside the varying microclimates, gives the wines distinct flavour characteristics and individualistic style.
Alongside his family, winemaker Gino Magnabosco is part of the third generation to run the estate. They believe that hard work, drive, and determination are key to obtaining the best results from their land. Maintaining, nourishing, and cherishing the land of their ancestors is of utmost importance. And although not certified, they farm using organic practices and an environmentally friendly approach to both viticulture and vinification. No chemicals are used in their production and they recycle everything excess coming from the vineyard (stems as fertilizers, skins for grappa, pruned branches for heating and fertilizer).
Small proportions of other varieties are allowed in the production of Soave, but Monte Tondo focus their concentration purely on Garganega. Garganega is a variety so versatile and easily culinary matched but also with the ability to produce complex wines with age-ability.
A very good example of Soave at a very good price. This over-delivers.. Perfect with salads and light fish and shellfish dishes.
