Welcome to another year of SPIT! We are particularly grateful for the friendship and support we have enjoyed over the last 10 years and the opportunity it has given us to be part of a wider community of wine people.

​

In recognition of where we have come from, this year, the majority of wines shown are from Germany, Austria, Portugal, and South Africa. Our South African list continues to grow in strength and reputation to include Angus Paul, a talented young winemaker shortlisted as one of the five Rising Stars in Tim Atkin’s recent South Africa Report. New vintages from Blankbottle and world-class Pinot Noir from Kershaw Wines. Come taste our first winery from New Zealand, Deep Down.

Visiting wineries reflect the range and diversity of who we represent.

​

• Schloss Gobelsburg is one of the oldest wineries in Austria, led by Michael Moosbrugger, who is also a driving force behind the single vineyard classification. They believe that the future of wineries like Schloss Gobelsburg lies in individuality and character, which can only be achieved through the reduction of intervention. 

​

• Ziereisen is a family domaine, located in Baden, the warmest part of Germany, which offers long hours of sunshine. The winery was founded in 1991. Time and craftsmanship are the two concepts that are most important to the quality of their wines.

​

• Domaine Philippe Gilbert makes fresh and elegant wines from Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc in the Menetou-Salon appellation. This appellation is situated in the centre of the Loire Valley, on the sedimentary soils of Kimmeridgian. The wines are certified biodynamic

​

• Vinyes Forer Massard, a joint obsession for the wines of the Priorat and a desire to care for the land, led David Forer and Franck Massard to acquire vineyards in 2018. Enhancing biodiversity and working with regenerative agricultural methods, their goal is to make wines that speak to the history and heritage of Priorat. 

​

• Vignoble du Chateau de Bousval is one of our most recent discoveries, and while there may be some scepticism, we believe that these wines show how wine has no borders and that the taste of a wine depends greatly on the care and attention that is given to its cultivation and not just on historic terroirs.

​

Enjoy the tasting!
