Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka

I wanted to introduce an exciting new British Vodka that is making waves in the sustainable spirits space. Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka innovatively handcrafts its liquid in a 100% carbon neutral production line, using only apples grown in British orchards. This fascinating distillation process using apples is the first of its kind to be done on a mass scale. Based in North Yorkshire, Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka has one main mission; to help drinkers “rediscover” vodka. The brand’s unique approach to the distillation process – with a focus on “craft” – leads to a noticeably smooth and creamy liquid.

The King’s Favour Sauvignon Blanc 2021/22, Marlborough

Brent Marris is winemaking royalty. And it turns out, he may be descended from actual royalty too. His ancestor, William de Marisco was rumoured to be the illegitimate son of Henry I – not that that guaranteed the family good relations with royalty. The de Mariscos spent much of the 12th and 13th centuries living a life of piracy on the Isle of Lundy. Brent created the King Series to celebrate his family’s history, and their tempestuous relationship with the monarchy. This is a classic Waihopai Sauvignon Blanc – an important Marlborough sub-region where the wines are particularly vibrant. Think guava, gooseberry and a hint of blackcurrant leaf which sets this apart from the standard. Of course, it’s also mouth-wateringly fresh – a dream with barbecued fish with mango salsa.

Nohrlund

The Danish cocktail brand is shaking up the ready-to-drink category in the UK with premium, organic cocktails.

Nohrlund was created by two bartenders whose vision was to simplify the art of mixology and elevate the cocktail experience for everyone, regardless of time, place and bartending skills. They wanted to make ready-to-serve cocktails and accessible to all, that are both easy and enjoyable no matter the occasion.

Nohrlund has taken on the challenge of reinterpreting some of the most iconic classic cocktail combinations in a way that combines the ease of a pre-mixed cocktail with the taste that only a true cocktail connoisseur appreciates. Recognising that even the most famous cocktails have as many variations as there are bartenders, Nohrlund offers their own unique take on these classics, covering all flavours from sweet and refreshing to intense and complex.

The Nohrlund range of pre-mixed organic cocktails includes a Passion Martini, MojitoEspresso Martini, Bramble.

Nohrlund believes that every single cocktail should be savoured and shared with others. They believe that their cocktails have the power to make an occasion worth remembering, which is why they are perfect for big lively festivals or small intimate gatherings.

Toast the summer days with Vinca, the award-winning organic wine served in ready-to-pour recyclable cans. Grown under the Sicilian sun in family-owned, sustainable vineyards, Vinca’s pale rosé, white and red are made by wine lovers and canned with the planet in mind – and they’re so delicious you’ll wonder why you’ve never had wine from a can before.

The pale rosé: Organic Syrah (187ml/12.5%/RRP  £3 per can)

The pale rosé is made from 100% syrah grapes from vineyards that show off the coastal terroir. Careful pressing allows the delicate red fruits to shine and allows the syrah to bring a slight spice to the finish. This is a lovely Provence-style pale rosé from the north-west of Sicily. 

The crisp white: Organic Catarratto (187ml/12.5%/RRP  £3 per can)

Vinca’s white wine is made from catarratto, the grape synonymous with excellent Sicilian whites. The grapes are lightly pressed, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain all the crisp, tropical & citrus fruit notes. 

The juicy red: Organic Nero D’avola & Frappato (187ml/13.5%/RRP £3 per can) 

The red wine is a blend curated by Vinca’s Jack and head winemaker Ivan in Sicily. It uses 80% nero d’avola, a wonderfully juicy red grape, and top it with 20% frappato to bring a little dried strawberry and pomegranate to the finish.

Cune Mencia

Northwest Spain’s increasingly fashionable Mencía grape produces red wines in a variety of styles depending on the soils in which it’s grown, the age of the vines and, among other things, whether it’s aged in oak.

It’s unoaked, bluish ruby in colour and smells and tastes of crushed raspberries streaked with white pepper, minerally earth and a pinch of smoked paprika and its crunchy fresh acidity outweighs any tannin.

The producer, C.V.N.E., is one of Rioja’s great names and is still run five generations later by direct descendants of the two brothers who founded it in 1879. It’s been pronounced ‘coonay’ since an early typo, hence the brandname Cune.

Graham Beck Brut, South Africa

You’ll be in good company when you uncork a bottle of this Brut. It’s affectionately known as the ‘President’s Choice’ because it was served at both Nelson Mandela’s inauguration and Barack Obama’s presidential win.

It’s made with the Méthode Cap Classique – a style identical to the traditional method used to make Champagne, using Chardonnay and Pinot Noir too. It means it’s a real steal for fizz fans who love the taste of Champagne – but not the price. Fresh but creamy. Full of limey citrus flavours – it’s got a lovely brioche richness from its second fermentation in the bottle. Fantastic with cheesy nibbles.
