Need some inspiration for what to drink this weekend? Let our team help you! Here's what we're enjoying at the moment.

Adega de Moncao Vinho Verde Fresco 2024, Minho, Portugal

A zesty blend of Alvarino and Trajadura bottled with Vinho Verde's signature spritz, this is wonderfully lively and revitalising. Fresh and direct, it shows clearly the Atlantic influence of the vineyards in the far North of Portugal and makes for perfect summer drinking as well as putting some sunshine in your glass for when we can only long for warmer climes.

Poggio delle Grazie Bardolino 2023, Veneto

Bardolino, ever in the shadow of the more famous Valpolicella, is made with similar native grape varieties. This is based on what most producers consider to be the best of them: corvina, supplemented by 5% of rondinella for freshness. Coming from the cru vineyard of La Rocca, the result is all fresh strawberries, rose petals and a ripple of tannin. Serve this slightly chilled alongside some cold cuts, salame or cheeses to best enjoy its translucent charms.
