Happy National Chianti Day! 🇮🇹

Today we’re celebrating one of Italy’s great w**e styles — and one that needs very little introduction at Basil’s.

Chianti Classico comes from the historic heartland of Chianti, between Florence and Siena, where Sangiovese reigns supreme. Expect bright cherry and red berry fruit, savoury herbs, refreshing acidity and those wonderfully earthy, sometimes leathery notes that make it such a brilliant food w**e.

Our bottle today is Castello della Paneretta Chianti Classico - made on a historic estate in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone, with Sangiovese at its core and all the freshness, structure and savoury character you want from a proper Tuscan red.

It’s the sort of w**e that doesn’t need much fuss. Pour it, grab some food and let Tuscany do the talking. 🍷

🍇 Happy International Cabernet Sauvignon Day!

One of the world’s most powerful and age-worthy red grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon is celebrated for its deep blackcurrant character, structured tannins and remarkable ability to develop with time. It’s the benchmark for red w**e excellence and sophistication - and, unsurprisingly, a pretty brilliant match for a good chunk of cheese, particularly those aged and savoury enough to stand up to its intensity. 🧀

To celebrate, we’re pouring Château Le Coteau Margaux Margaux on special this weekend. From a family-owned estate in the heart of Margaux, one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious appellations, this is a w**e dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and a beautiful expression of the elegance and finesse the region is known for.

Think vibrant dark fruit, refined tannins, with subtle floral and earthy undertones — sophisticated without being showy, and very much a w**e to take your time over.

Cabernet Sauvignon. Margaux. Cheese. Weekend sorted. 🍷

Ever wondered what w**e pairs well with Monster Munch or Scampi Fries? Wonder no longer! Six w**es, six snacks, one delicious experiment...

Join us for a gloriously unserious evening of w**e and crisps, as we put six interesting w**es from our cellar to the ultimate snack test. From Salt & Vinegar Discos to Quavers, we’re exploring some surprisingly brilliant pairings.

There’s a little bit of everything in the w**e line-up too: sparkling, aromatic whites, a bit of red, and an orange w**e. Each w**e has been carefully matched with its crisp soulmate - although whether they actually belong together is for you to decide.

Expect plenty of w**e, plenty of crisps and a relaxed, informal tasting where there are no wrong answers.

Great w**es. Questionable snacks. Come find your perfect pairing.

Ticket link in bio and website as per - go get them as spaces are limited.

🍇 Happy International Pinot Noir Day! 🍷

Today we’re celebrating one of the world’s most enchanting and terroir-driven red grapes - Pinot Noir.

Few varieties capture a sense of place quite like Pinot. Elegant, complex and wonderfully expressive, it can range from bright, silky fruit to the refined earthiness and savoury complexity that has made Burgundy its spiritual home. It’s a grape admired by collectors and sommeliers alike, and one that beautifully embodies the delicate connection between nature and craftsmanship.

And what better bottle to celebrate with than Maison & Domaines André Goichot Rully Rouge 🇫🇷

From Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise, this is Pinot Noir in a beautifully poised, classic style - bright red fruits, gentle spice and subtle earthy notes, with silky tannins and the freshness that makes Burgundy reds so compelling.

Graceful, versatile and unmistakably Pinot Noir.

Prosecco needs little introduction. Italy’s most famous sparkling w**e, made primarily from the Glera grape in Veneto and Friuli, it’s all about light bubbles, fruity aromas and a refreshing finish. In other words: easy elegance in a glass. 🇮🇹🥂

Today we’re pouring The Eco-Conscious W**e Range 🥂 Prosecco - a bright, fresh and approachable take on the classic, with lovely orchard fruit, citrus and a crisp finish.

And there’s more to Sea Change than what’s in the bottle. The brand is passionate about protecting our oceans, supporting projects that help reduce plastic pollution and preserve marine environments. 🌊

So come to Basil’s and raise a glass to International Prosecco Day - enjoy it on its own, or let us turn it into a spritz.

A little milestone for Basil’s 🍷🇭🇷

Today we welcome the first Croatian w**es onto our list - meaning we now stock w**es from 16 European countries.

Having had them visit us last month, we are now introducing two bottles from Cota W**ery on the Dalmatian coast:

Oklai Orange 🧡
A beautifully textured orange w**e made from a blend of indigenous Croatian varieties, with notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, herbs and a gentle savoury finish.

Pero J’Dero ❤️
A characterful red with plenty of personality - ripe dark fruit, spice and earthy notes balanced with freshness and finesse.

We love discovering w**es from places that might not always get the spotlight, and bringing them and their stories to the bar.

Come and get a taste of Croatia this weekend at Basil’s!
