Description
WINEMAKER: Sylvain Martinez
REGION: Loire Valley, FR
VARIETY: Grolleau
VITICULTURE: Organic
"Medium bodied red wine from one of our favourite producers in the Loire Valley. This is fresh, earthen, wonderfully balanced, and has entered a wonderfully resolved window of its evolution, with variety, soil and style of vinification all singing. Sylvain Martinez is a softly spoken and humble gentleman and his wines evolve slowly and are particularly deep. His grolleau grows on sandy soil near the village of La Thoureil in Anjou, and in 2017 Sylvain had a great growing season, with excellent physiological ripeness." - Campbell Burton, importer
The truly humble Sylvain Martinez continues to impress with his zero-zero wines from the Anjou. Organically farmed and made without additions of any kind, they are pure, intensely mineral and even more enjoyable. Tiny quantities.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
