In with the new ...

It’s been tough, hasn’t it? Much has changed. Maybe even our habits. Perhaps our tastes. Could this be an opportunity, something positive to come out of the hardships we’ve faced over the past 12 months? There are so many wines out there, seemingly an endless choice of styles. This is what we love about the wine business. The discovery never, ever ends.

Right. Assuming you are looking for something new, maybe something you’ve never tasted before, here goes with a handful of recommendations from our new wine list, ready for the Spring and Summer of what will be, and to be honest is already, a year which we will never forget.

Pet Nat 'Il Pestifero' from Tenuta di Tavignano. An organic, cloudy, bubbly beast that’s best described as fizzy orange-flavoured yoghurt. And the label. Good Lord.

Piquepoul de Pinet 'Le Mineral' from Serodes & Kovac. Picpoul, but not as we know it. Laser sharp, pebbles, lime juice.

An Anjou Blanc called 'Large Soif!'. Yep, funny and odd. But it tastes like heaven. Organic and biodynamically grown Chenin Blanc. Apples dipped in honey.

Semillon Gris 'Tin Soldier' from Thorne & Daughters. Semillon Gris – not a grape you see that often, grown in the Swartland in South Africa. Rarely do we taste whites with this level of complexity and length. Unforgettable.

A dry, Spanish white wine made where Sherry comes from called Las Cepas de Curro Blanco. Salt, marzipan, lemon and almonds. Fino-lite, sort of.

A rose made from Mourvedre grown high in the Pyrenees, from winemaker, author and (the) Chiswick dude Richard Bray. It's called Cathar(tic) Wines By Any Other Name. Go with it.

White, pink and red wine in cans from Swartland maestro Adi Badenhorst. 250ml tubes of vinous magic, all called The Curator.

A south Australian Montepulciano from the Riverland called ‘Monte’. The juiciest, softest, sweetest-berry laden fleshiest-fruited wonder that ever was. Created for high quality pizza & burgers, at least in our minds it was.

A Rhone-style Californian red from the central coast region Paso Robles called Patelin de Tablas Rouge. Really, really exciting.

Garnacha 'El Berrakin' from Daniel Ramos. No wild boars allowed, as is decreed by the front label. This is wild, untamed Grenache with a liberal splash of Jaen. Brilliantly different.

We could go on. But enough for now. We can’t tell you how happy we are to share these with you. In with the new. But some of the old can stay too.

35 36 Rose! It’s that time of the year again and we have our rose-drinking caps well and truly on.

The beauty of a rose? Always approachable, nothing intimidating. Like the smiley, fun-loving friend who comes to visit every summertime.

We're thrilled about our rose selection this season. Below are a few new to our list and that we want to shout ‘til we’re pink in the face about! Wines that can range from a barely noticeable light pink to an almost red. All made in the familiar way, from red grapes that have gone through a short maceration on the skins to get just enough colour. Distinct from one to the other but all equally charming and moreish in their own delightful way.

Swartland Rose 'Secateurs' 2020, A A Badenhorst, Swartland, South Africa [V] £14.00 From the most exciting up-and-coming wine region today, the Swartland. Very old bush vine Cinsault from one of our very favourite South Africans, Adi Badenhorst. He makes this concentrated & deeply refreshing rose from outstanding quality grapes. Cranberry, redcurrant, wild rose and strawberries & cream. The palate is soft having been fermented in old oak casks. Enough substance to go with food but enough delicacy to crack open on its own. Scrumptiously versatile.

Cathar(tic) Wines By Any Other Name Rose 2019, Cathartic Wines, Roussillon, France [V] £23.00 From Mourvedre vines grown right at the bottom of France in the sun-drenched Roussillon. Made in tiny quantities, only 900 bottles, by our friend Richard Bray, this is deep & intense and yet, in his words, is a “serene wine, gentle, quietly assured”. This is the first vintage that he’s made his rose from Mourvedre, but the grapes were tasting so irresistibly delicious they couldn’t not use them. The attractive peachy salmon colour will draw you in, the label will intrigue and the wine will knock your socks off.

Douro Rose 2019, Lavradores de Feitoria, Douro, Portugal £11.50 An uncomplicated rose with tons of charm. Delicate wild strawberry, pomegranate & cranberry. No easy feat making such a fresh wine under the blazing Douro sun. The terrace-filled, famous Portuguese region with its harsh climate is one of the most beautiful & dramatic wine regions you can find. The Lavradores de Feitoria is a group of 15 farmers that have pooled their expertise to make some fantastic wines. This is a gloriously fun rose to bring joy to our lives.

Vin Ruspo 2019, Capezzana, Tuscany, Italy [V][ORG] £17.50 A rose with a bit more bite to it. There’s the common misconception that the darker the rose the sweeter it’ll be. Not true! This is fruity but dry with a savoury edge. Playful, bright, pure berry fruit on a bed of rose petals. This is from the tiny zone of Carmignano that sits just above Florence in central Italy. A delicious blend led by Tuscany’s star Sangiovese, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon & Canaiolo, all lightly pressed off the skins to produce elegant colour, texture & character.

37 38 An interview with Vinoteca's co-founders

What was it like opening the first site back in 2005? [Charlie] Hard. Really hard. Brett and I both lost a stone or two and our grey hair program probably began at that point. Starting a business, planning all the detail, finding a site and fitting it out were all new to us and so the learning curve was massively steep. But once we managed to get the doors open we were in familiar territory and we just did what we loved – selling exciting wines to a bunch of lovely people.

Why Farringdon for the first site? [Brett] Basically because our landlord Russell took a punt on us. We’d been looking for ages for a site and one place in Hammersmith that we were keen on fell through, thank the Lord of wine. We then spotted the site in Farringdon and spent a lot of time persuading Russell that he really needed a wine bar in his building - eventually he gave in and said yes. Being opposite Trevor and Fergus’ legendary St John’s restaurant made it even better.

Did you always know you wanted to open a wine bar? [Charlie] No, not really. Although Brett and I both had similar experience in restaurants and wine bars, having a wine bar was more Brett’s angle and I was coming from the wine shop direction. This was the beauty of what evolved – a kind of hybrid which encapsulated our approach and philosophy, and which left out the unwanted baggage that often came with businesses specialising in wine.

What did you model the first Vinoteca on? [Charlie] Once we’d agreed that we wanted to be a wine bar as well as a wine shop, we drew inspiration from the Spanish and Italian enotecas & vinotecas which, through a combination of culture and unrestrictive licensing, have always combined ‘bums on seats’ wine & food service with retail sales. We were also inspired by a small wine bar & shop in Paris called Juveniles, run by our dear friend Tim Johnston.

Being friends and business partners and keeping a good relationship, what’s your secret? [Brett] We always both joke “he’s my other wife”. Like any relationship it’s all about communication and being open and honest. We have a similar sense of humour which massively helps when times are tough, similar tastes when it comes to wine. Having my real wife Elena as a partner also helps to keep us in line when we get carried away.

You’ve visited many winemaking regions over the years — any favourites? [Charlie] This is one of the great joys of what we do. We've managed to visit a number of amazing regions over the years. Our regular Vinoteca team trips to Montsant in Spain’s Catalonia area, where we help to pick and make olive oil from the local Arbequina olives, as well as the Masroig winery from whom we import directly, are always a highlight. My favourite trip with Brett was when we visited Capovilla, one of the best producers of distillati in the world, in Bassano del Grappa. A lot of learning. A lot of ‘tasting’. A lot of laughing.

You must have met some big names in the wine industry over the years. Who’s been most influential for you? [Brett] The mighty Don Gleave (in an Italian accent), David Gleave of Liberty Wines - legendary for his wine knowledge and introducing some of the best Italian wines into the UK over the last 30 years. From serving him behind the bar at Kensington Place, to working for him humping boxes at Wine Cellars and then as a sales rep at Enotria Wine Cellars and Liberty Wines, and finally being a customer of his for the last 15 years. It’s been quality!

What is your favourite memory from the last 15 years? [Brett] The first night Charlie, Elena and I opened Vinoteca up and got all our friends in to try it out. It was the build-up of over 2 years looking for a site, business plans, negotiating with banks, boring legal stuff, menu planning, wine tastings, builders, more wine tastings, another loan needed, and then you open! Holy shite we’ve done it, we have a wine bar and we're working for ourselves. Completely chaotic but a great feeling - I’ll never forget it! So chaotic that we had to close for a couple of days to sort ourselves out. Great times.

39 40 Fingers crossed for sunny weather and plenty of outdoor good times this season in the park or your garden. We’re here to make sure your picnics run like well-oiled machines with great drinks-on-the-go offerings that come in all shapes and sizes…

Unleash the adventurer within! This is 250ml of wine in a can, but not just any wine, this is Adi Badenhorst’s Curator Collection, and it is stuuuunning. Three wines, three colours, one big easy-drinking style.

They're practical, economical, lightweight and sustainable. Portable and picnic ready. Packaging is important — when what you’re drinking looks good, you look good. One of you wants white and the other red? No need to open a full bottle. And best of all, no corkscrew…

AA Badenhorst Family Wines, run by cousins Adi & Hein, in South Africa’s Swartland. Artistry, innovation and downright great winemaking is what they’re known for. They grow a big range of varieties on old bush vines on the picturesque foothills of the Paardeberg Mountain.

'The Curator' Red 2020 — AA Badenhorst, Swartland, South Africa 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Shiraz, 12% Cinsault, 1% Grenache Wafts of blackberry & pepper, lovely ripe black fruit flavours, knitted together by fine tannins.

'The Curator' Rose 2020 — AA Badenhorst, Swartland, South Africa 100% Cinsault Red plums, sweet redcurrants and mint leaf, washed along on a sea of freshness.

'The Curator' White 2020 — AA Badenhorst, Swartland, South Africa 51% Chenin Blanc, 22% Chardonnay, 22% Viognier, 4% Semillon, 1% Colombard Pears, lime & blossom. A hit of oily richness from the Viognier, flinty minerality from the Chenin.

Also perfect for your picnics & outdoor fun this spring and summer are our canned beers! If you’re not feeling wine today, we have you covered with our very own New Zealand Pils. Dreamed up by Rodney & The Horse and brought to life by the brilliant Braybrooke Beer Co. A great label to jazz up any picnic spread & a beverage that will have you refreshed in no time.

Nothing worse than reaching that perfect outdoor sunny spot and finding you’ve forgotten the corkscrew. Spend an age thirstily trying to figure out a way to remove the cork with your teeth, or get yourself prepared & check out our fantastic selection of wines under screw cap. Nothing wrong with a screw cap! It's a proven, efficient seal for any young wine (even some aged), easy to use and has that satisfying crack that gets our mouths watering like Pavlov’s dogs.

New to Vinoteca are the fantastic GoVino glasses. Shatterproof + reusable + sustainable is their tagline. Pour your drink into one of these and you’re laughing. They look great & feel even better with a thin lip and a thumb-notch to make sure your tipple stays firmly in hand at all times.
