WINEMAKER: Benoit Rosenberger
REGION: Auvergne, FR
VARIETAL: Gamay d'Auvergne
VITICULTURE: Organic
"Gamay d'Auvergne from vineyards on basalt in the northern part of Auvergne. Few days of maceration and then pressed into stainless steel before ageing in an older barrique. A rose' non rose' of incredible depth and complexity, from raspberry and strawberry to rhubarb, citrus and spices. It opens with a little effervescence that disappears after couple of swirls." - Giorgio
Auvergne is a truly special region in central France, surrounded by dormant volcanoes producing wines of intense minerality and complexity. One of Auvergne's most highly sought after producers is Benoit Rosenberger, the 'wolf of the vineyards'. He farms three hectares of Gamay d'Auvergne, 50-80 year old vines grown on pure black basalt, some parcels up to 500m above sea level. Zero adds. Tiny quantities from this cult producer - don't miss out.

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.
