Organic Wines

This is the third red from Bodega Vagal, first vintage just released. Biodynamically farmed and organically certified.

It's a fantastic wine produced at altitude (940 metres) so plenty of fresh acidity. It spent four months in oak.

Tasting notes to follow.

An excellent organic Rhone blend. Again sweet fruit on entry, good mouthfeel with full body, smooth and round with just a hint of oak.

Cave de Cairanne are very proud of this Vacqueyras. As an AOC the reputation of Vacqueyras has grown in recent years as it is catching up to it's more famous neighbours of Gigondas and Chateauneuf du Pape.

This is an excellent wine. Big and powerful yet well balanced. Good fruit with just the right amount of oak, very smooth and medium bodied with a long finish. This knocks the socks off any generic Chateaneuf du Pape. Highly recommended. 

A new wine recently released. Tasting notes to follow but I expect it to be very good.

Awarded Silver at both Milesime Bio 2019 and IWSC 2019

Domaine Mayrac Cremant de Limoux is a superb organic sparkling wine, more in the style of Champagne being rich and biscuity, rather than the fruitier, greener Prosecco style - if you want that style opt for their Blanquette instead.

Domaine Mayrac Blanquette de Limoux Demi Sec is a delicious organic sparkling wine, very low in sulphites in the sweeter "demi sec" style.

A complex aromatic blend of Chenin and Rousanne. Full in the mouth with good body. Lovely full soft flavours and a long lingering finish. This wine is excellent.

This wine has been renamed and used to be their Milesime Blanc.

A delicious blend of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc (and Mauzac) aged in oak. Light in colour with a fresh nose. Citrus fruits on the palate, yet full and creamy in the mouth with noticeable oak. Plenty of body but very clean and fresh on the finish.

Domaine Myrac Diletante Rouge is a complex Syrah with flavours of dark chocolate followed by mint. Very smooth and balanced. Fully organic and very low in sulphur, this is a genuine artisan wine from this excellent organic family owned winery. This wine is lovely.

A fantastic sangiovese blend from this very highly rated DOCg. 8 months in French barriques. 

La Selva Organic Prima Causa is a delicious oak aged Bordeaux blend. Fantastic wine, and of course genuinely organic and healthy too.

La Selva Organic Ciliegiolo is a lovely wine. Soft cherry flavours followed by strong vanilla. Very smooth and balanced. Delicious and highly recommended!

La Selva Organic Vermentino Maremma DOC. Vermentino is Tuscany's signature white grape and has carried DOC status in Maremma since 2011 reflecting it's superior quality.

Soligo's notes state:

The grapes are hand-picked in September. At the winery, the grapes are gently pressed and then undergo a slow fermentation process in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. The Charmat technique is used to produce this sparkling wine.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections.

Dry, intense and persistent with freshness and sapidity that lead to a fruity finish.

A brand new white from Robin & Imogen. 100% organic Macabeu having had 12 months in oak.

Please note this wine does say "contains sulphites" on the label as it is just over the 10ppm total sulphites limit. However it's total sulphites are extremely low and it will be fine even if you have a sulphite allergy. Normally we wouldn't list it on this page, just on our organic page, but we have put it here so fans of Robins wines can find it.

We only have 36 bottles in total.

A new wine from a new venture! Robin Althof from Costes Cirgues and his wife Imogen are making small batches of their own excellent wines from different parcels of grapes from friends' vineyards. Obviously they are organically farmed. 

Pale gold with green highlights. Some light legs. Initial citrus flavours with a good mouthfeel. Soft, round and balanced with a clean, crisp finish. It's very difficult to get crisp acidity in a sulphite free white so Robin has added a tiny amount of sulphites at bottling. This is perhaps the closest in style to mainstream whites I've tasted.

This wine contains a total of 19 mg/l total sulphites - technically too high to be classed as "sulphite free" for which the limit is no more than 10 mg/l. But this is extremely low and the wine is still suitable for people with a sulphite allergy. Hence we have put it on our sulphite free wines page (as well as our organic page) so our regular customers who buy Robin's other wines and wines from his family's brand Costes Cirgues, are aware of it's existence.

We have an extremely limited stock.

D'Anglas Petit Roy Blanc is a brand new sulphite free white wine from Roger and Carole. It comes from a one hectare vineyard of Roussane and Marsanne producing under 2,500 bottles, so we were restricted on how much we could have.

No wood used, aged in stainless steel tanks for three months. It underwent a light filtering.

Fresh with some citrus on the palate. Good body too, soft with gentle acidity and a dry finish.

Overall a very good sulphite free white, very easy to drink!
