Big Barbecue Weekend Wines
here’s three inevitabilities of an English heatwave:
1) Whip out the barbecue - 2) Complain that “it’s far too hot” - 3) Sunburn!
In each scenario, wines plays the perfect foil!
With that in mind, it’s time to plan the menu, get the sun cream out, and make sure the gazebo is large enough for everyone to hide under. Especially at those family gatherings for Father’s Day.
We’ve picked a few wines from our range to go with a selection of lovely meals to suit all tastes.
Bodega Sottano Malbec & Beef Burgers
A harmony of big and bold flavours to pair with your homemade burgers. Ripe red and black fruit, mingled with dark chocolate and minty spices. Full-bodied, densely flavoured, and velvety texture.
Cotes de Thau Rosé & Salmon
A standout Provence pink. Strawberry fruit aromas, white peaches, redcurrants, and mandarin. Layered, complex, and amazing with
grilled fish - especially a lovely fillet of salmon!

Cantine Povero Marida & Lamb Chops
Rich, full bouquet with subtle notes of incense, spices, and liquorice combine to create an exquisitely harmonious drinking experience. Bright and flavourful to match those charred edges and a lovely acidity to cut through the fatty meat. Delicious!
Diamantikis Assyrtiko & Halloumi
Crisp, citrus aromatics that conjure those island holidays by the beach. Notes of thyme and oregano, and a crisp acidity. An intriguingly complex texture, ending with a persistent mineral-tinged finish.
