Papia Pinot Grigio Rose IGT 2025
Papia Pinot Grigio Rose is a fresh, light, and appealingly fruity Italian rose from the Oltrepo Pavese in Lombardia, produced by Adria Vini, a joint venture between Boutinot and Araldica Castelvero. Lower in alcohol, lightly off-dry, and vegan friendly, this is a rose built for easy, uncomplicated enjoyment. The name Papia is the Latin root for Pavia, the city at the heart of this underrated northern Italian wine region. Why You'll Love It Established in 2003, Adria Vini combines British market insight with deep Italian winemaking expertise to produce wines that are genuinely crowd-pleasing without sacrificing character. Papia is their approachable, lower-alcohol rose, packed with fresh red berry fruit and just enough residual sweetness to give the mid-palate real weight and roundness. The kind of bottle you open without overthinking and finish without noticing. Vineyard and Production Pinot Grigio grapes are sourced from key partners in the Oltrepo Pavese region of Pavia and fermented to around 11% ABV. This is blended with 15% of a Chiaretto component, a Barbera and Pinot Nero blend with fermentation deliberately stopped at 9% ABV and 20g/l sugar. The result is a wine of lower overall ABV with around 5g/l residual sugar, giving a little more weight and roundness to the mid-palate. Winemaker: Claudio Manera. Screwcap closure. Contains sulphites. Vegan and vegetarian. Tasting Notes Fresh and fruity on the nose with inviting red berry aromas. The palate shows notes of strawberry and redcurrant with a touch of natural sweetness, finishing bright, clean, and lively. Light, refreshing, and very easy to enjoy. Perfect Pairings Perfect on its own as a chilled aperitif, and a natural partner for summer sharing plates, antipasti, light salads, and soft cheeses. Also excellent with grilled prawns and light pasta dishes. The Blend Pinot Grigio 85%, Barbera 11%, Pinot Nero 4%.
The Beefsteak Club Reserve Malbec 2020
Beefsteak Club Reserve Malbec is a bold, polished expression of high-altitude Malbec from Argentina's prestigious Uco Valley, crafted with richness, structure and gastronomic appeal firmly in mind. Sourced from selected clay-based vineyards at elevation, this wine reflects the concentration and freshness that define Mendoza's finest terroirs, perfectly suited to a powerful yet refined style. Why You'll Love It This is serious Uco Valley Malbec that delivers exceptional quality and complexity. With 18 months in French oak and hand-harvested fruit from high-altitude vineyards, it offers the depth and structure of wines costing significantly more. Inspired by London's historic Beefsteak Clubs, this award-winning wine is designed to be the perfect companion to great food and good company. Meet the Producer Inspired by the 18th-century Beefsteak Clubs of London—where steak symbolised liberty, prosperity and indulgence—Beefsteak Club is an award-winning wine brand dedicated to producing wines designed to shine at the table, particularly alongside great food. Production Malbec grapes are hand-harvested from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley. Fermentation takes place in small concrete casks to promote richness and complexity, followed by 18 months ageing in French oak barrels to refine texture and add depth. Tasting Notes Deep and expressive, with aromas of opulent ripe black fruit, black olive, mint and vanilla. The palate is rich and smooth, framed by velvety tannins and subtle oak, delivering a long, satisfying finish. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for steak and grilled beef, but equally excellent with lamb cutlets, rich burgers, slow-cooked short ribs or mushroom-based dishes with depth and umami.
