Hand-picked grapes. Open-top bin fermentation with native yeasts. 14 days from picking to pressing, no extended maceration. Some fairly typical savoury notes of tomato and sour cherry, but counter-balanced by the fruit-forward nature of the style of wines we produce. Tannins and acidity will help the wine age gracefully for several years or it can be enjoyed immediately.

Founded by four friends — Julian Diaz, acclaimed restaurateur; Agustin Camps, former marketing whizz for IBM, Nestlé, and Diageo; Martín Auzmendi, journalist and founder of Buenos Aires Cocktail Week and La Maratón de Pizza; and, perhaps most intriguingly, Sebastián Zuccardi, the multiple award-winning third-generation winemaker — La Fuerza was born from their shared frustration at the lack of a truly great Argentinian vermouth.
The base of Torrontés is infused with over thirty botanicals sourced from Mendoza and the Andes, creating a beautifully balanced vermouth with a bright, citrus-forward profile. It makes an excellent wet martini — try a 1:1 ratio and garnish with a twist of lemon peel.

Luis Seabra may be a new name on the Portuguese wine scene, but he has already had a hand in crafting some of the Douro’s most exciting wines, working as Dirk Niepoort’s right-hand man from 2004 until leaving to set up his own label in 2012. He is starting small, releasing two whites and one red, with a total production of just 5,000 bottles per wine. Winemaking is minimal-intervention, and the style very much reflects the concentration of care lavished by this experienced winemaker on his tiny output.
A bright, lifted palate shows flavours of freshly picked nectarines, peaches and pears, all against a complex backdrop of wet stones, chalk. Graceful and powerful all at once, with a salty, savoury complexity and a compellingly chewy texture which runs through to the lengthy finish
