Renato Ratti Ochetti Langhe Nebbiolo -
Italy
A bit of a mouthful in more ways than one! Renato Ratti is a top Barolo producer in Piemonte, Italy. This wine is made from the same Nebbiolo grapes as Barolo, but the vineyard is in the wider region of Langhe. The wine is classy. Don’t be fooled by its slightly bricky opaque colour, this wine delivers a powerful blow like its more expensive relation, Barolo. The typical sandy soil gives lots of finesse and a very delicate and persistent bouquet with characteristic trace scents of strawberry and raspberry. We absolutely love this wine.

Sergio Sparkling Rosé, Veneto -
Italy
This wine is made by the oldest winery in Valdobbiadene, Mionetto. A sommeliers treat! A blend of 70% Raboso and 30% Legrein from Friuli adds up to super fruity, off dry summer drink. The Spumante style means it’s ideal to sell by the glass, bottle or a great welcome drink to any party or wedding.

Ca Vittoria Appassimento, Puglia -
Italy
Approximately 30% of the grapes are laid to dry in well aerated lofts in small crates of 2 kg each. The “drying room” is kept at a constant humidity of 50% and at a controlled temperature of 20-25°C. The grapes remain in “appassimento” for 70 to 80 days, where they lose 35% of their original weight due to dehydration. Approximately 40% of the blended wine is aged for 12 months in American and French oak barriques. This leads to an intensely fruity yet complex wine sure to delight any customer.

Hermandad Malbec -
Argentina
Our premium Malbec from Familia Falasco in Mendoza, Argentina. Max fell for this wine when visiting the winery in 2017 when he sampled the Malbec straight from the barrel as it was halfway through it’s 15 months in oak. It tasted delicious then and it’s even better now. It is made using the best grapes from the finest plots of the winery’s 3000 hectares. Smartly packaged, Hermandad means “Fraternity” and the Hermandad range is managed by the late Senor Jorge Falasco’s children. The children are signified as a Lion, a Dragon, an Angel and a Flamingo on the label.

Bodegas Fos Baranda Rioja -
Spain
An extraordinary wine from our friends at Bodegas Fos. Made from 100% Tempranillo from 75 year old vines and matured for 20 months in French and American Oak. The wine loosely translates as “manager” and was produced especially for the Directors of Fos, who demanded the finest wine possible from the Vineyard.

3rd Rock Organic Sauvignon Blanc -
New Zealand
Located in Marlborough New Zealand, Rock Ferry Winery is fully organic and their Sauvignon is no exception. What attracted us to this wine, was its lifted fruit and citrus notes on both the nose and palate. Whilst you clearly savour the pink grapefruit flavours, they are not overpowering, which means they are an ideal food accompaniment with even the most delicate fish dishes. Watch this space as we work more closely with Rock Ferry. We have our eyes on their Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and an amphora fermented Pinot Blanc!

Coquelicot Organic Viognier -
France
New to Templar Wines in 2023, and straight from the clay limestone soil of the Herault valley, Coquelicot adds to our growing selection of the upcoming grape, Viognier. Made by Bruno Andreu it is a wine made to enjoy young.
Coquelicot, the French for “Poppy” has a powerful nose of citrus, mango and floral aromas and a subtle note of flower honey. On the palate, the attack is frank, marked by the power and the finesse of Viognier. It is buttery, fresh and very versatile.

Comte Lafond Grand Cuvée Sancerre -
France
This is probably the finest Sancerre you can buy. Presented in an onion shaped bottle. A modern version of the free blown bottles of the 18th Century.
It is made by the Baron de Ladoucette, who is a direct descendant of the Comte Lafond, who founded the winery in the late 18th Century.
The wine itself displays Limestone minerality and whiteflowers which harmoniously dominate the nose, whilst exotic fruit and mango are primary on the vivacious palate. The 5 months of lees aging gives a body and fatness then develops into a beautiful length of complex minerality.

Adobe Organic Gewürztraminer, Rapel -
Chile
Top organic producer Emiliana has produced a wine with a nose of jasmine tea notes with a touch of lychee. On the palate there are bright floral and mineral nuances with a lingeringly spicy and exotic finish. Great wine with a pleasing viscosity, the absolute essence of Gewürztraminer.

Domaine Tholomies, Chardonnay -
France
This winery has been fully organic for over 30 years. Some 20 miles from Carcasonne and steeped in history dating back to the 4th Century, Domaine Tholomies is often compared to a garden as there is a high-water table just under the vineyard. This wine is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Viognier and really pleasing on every level. Great for drinking by the glass or eating with any seafood or Poultry.
