FINE & RARE GLOBAL ICONS

Our Fine & Rare collection is a window into the world of truly iconic, age-worthy and impossibly scarce wine - all sourced with the same independent spirit and zero pretension that defines our everyday pour.

These are the bottles with lineage, the "Unicorns" born from exceptional vintages, miniscule production, or a radical, uncompromising producer. Each one is a chapter in wine history, ready to be uncorked.

Verified Provenance: Every single bottle is sourced directly from the winery or their official agent and as such are confident in the quality of storage and the authenticity of the pour.

The Radical Classics: You'll find the obligatory, world-class names here (yes, we get the classics!), but our true joy is highlighting the rising stars and independent legends - wines that deliver three times the quality without the ego tax of a famous label.

Ready to Drink: We focus on wines that are perfectly cellared and ready to be enjoyed now, or that have the structure to evolve over the next decade. These aren't just investments; they are experiences.

A CELEBRATION OF CRAFT & TIME

The Distillery & Dram Cellar is a specially curated collection dedicated to the world's most evocative aged spirits. This is not simply a list of bottles, but a showcase of mastery - where specific geographic origin (the Distillery) dictates the spirit's character, and time in oak (the Dram) unlocks its ultimate complexity.

This collection focuses entirely on sipping spirits where the barrel, the still, and the heritage define the flavour.

These are spirits designed to be enjoyed neat, with a single cube of ice, or with a dash of water, allowing their complex secondary and tertiary notes to unravel on the palate: vanilla, leather, spice, dried fruit, and oak.

BEYOND THE BOTTLE: UNLOCK YOUR WINE'S FULL POTENTIAL

The ritual of wine appreciation extends far beyond the bottle itself. The Connoisseur's Toolkit brings together the world's most essential equipment, designed to unlock the full potential of your cellar and elevate every tasting experience. We begin with the foundation of purity: Jancis Robinson Glassware. Designed by the world-renowned Master of Wine, these iconic stems adhere to the philosophy of the universal glass, eliminating clutter while ensuring lightweight, lead-free crystal directs every aromatic nuance exactly as the winemaker intended—the ultimate expression of functional elegance.

Equipping yourself for the full journey requires precision and foresight. For the moment of uncorking, we feature the exquisite tools of L'Atelier du Vin, merging French artistry with functional precision in every corkscrew, cutter, and decanter. For the collector, we feature the revolutionary Coravin system, allowing you to sample rare vintages by the glass without ever pulling the cork, protecting your investment with inert Argon gas. Whether you are seeking the perfect serving tools or the ultimate preservation technology, this collection contains the premium essentials needed to transform your appreciation into a true art form.
