Our 2024 Langhe Nebbiolo, Elio Grasso is bright, fresh and beautifully floral, with notes of wild berries and a juicy, concentrated core. It’s a red that feels just right for the first cooler evenings of the season.

Consider this your sign to start swapping summer whites for something a little deeper 🫐💐

As we approach our second year of partnership with the London Philharmonic Orchestra this September, we’re reflecting on a collaboration that’s brought together two worlds with more in common than you might expect.

W**e and music both invite us to engage all our senses and discover new layers with every experience. Whether it’s tasting a remarkable bottle or listening to Tosca, each becomes even more meaningful when shared with others.

It’s this shared appreciation for craftsmanship, connection and memorable experiences that makes our partnership with the LPO so special - and we’re proud to continue bringing w**e and music together.

Meet Sofia from Gaia W**es as she introduces the beautifully vibrant 4-6h Rosé **es

Founded in 1994, Gaia Estate has been one of the pioneers of the modern Greek w**e revolution. An appetising and vivid rosé with an intense and aromatic profile, Agiorgitiko (a fragrant red w**e grape native to Greece’s Peloponnese Peninsula) wavers between delicate floral notes of rose petals and fruity flavours of pomegranate and strawberry. Vibrantly fresh with a deliciously refreshing finish, it is the perfect aperitif w**e, but also paired with light summer dishes, fresh Mediterranean flavours and traditional Greek cuisine.

Have you discovered Greek rosé yet? 🇬🇷
