The Wines of 2026! mixed case (12 bottles)

We don't know about you, but when we taste a wine we love it elicits a kind of emotional convulsion that surges through us. It creates a physical reaction that's somewhere between a fist bump and a power pop high kick (think Van Morrison in The Last Waltz). It's joyous! 

It's always difficult trying to narrow down your favourite anything, particularly wine given we are tasting probably 1000+ wines a year. But these bottles all hit the spot for us in a big way. Something we're drawn to in wine is this idea of a wine with "energy", not in a mumbo jumbo way, but wines that have a kind of jolt of something extra. That can be a jolt of freshness and acidity, or a lick of tannin that propels the wine, or just something that adds an extra dimension. All of these wines have that in some form.

We've put together what we (not so humbly) believe to be two absolutely stonking cases crammed full of high quality vino, one at a slightly gentler budget and one on the more luxurious side of things, both given a generous seasonal discount to get them ticking. We hope you enjoy the wines as much as we have, we think you absolutely will!
