Description
WINEMAKER: François Dhumes
VARIETAL: Gamay d'Auvergne
REGION: Auvergne, FR
VITICULTURE: Organic
100% Gamay d'Auvergne Petillant Naturel, direct pressed and slowly fermented in fiberglass before being transferred to bottle to finish ferment. Dryer than the last few years but still bursting with electric red fruit and vinous seriousness.
After working for conventional domaines in the Rhône and the Mâconnais, he returned to his native Auvergne, producing his first wine in 2006 while doing vineyard work for neighbouring natural winemakers Vincent & Marie Tricot and Patrick Bouju. This became a springboard for Francois in developing a real understanding of how to work organically in the vineyard and ultimately make wine with no additions. Since then has acquired a patchwork of small parcels totalling 4ha in the villages of Corent, Chidrac, and Perrignat-sur-Allier and has a beautiful warehouse style winemaking space and house on the outskirts of Orcet where his table tennis skills are constantly being honed.

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.
