  • Across the UK, France and the rest of Europe the vines still haven't woken up from their winter sleep, but in South Africa these Sauvignon Blanc grapes are ready to be picked. Look out for them in The Gooseberry Bush 2020 later this year! - - - - - #harvest #2020 #2020vintage #newvintage #grapes #grapeberries #vines #vineyard #winetime #wine #winetour #winepic #winetrip #winenight #winallday #vin #winestore #winetoyourdoor #welovewine #amazing #winemaker #winelifestyle #somm #cork #vinoland #wineclub #laithwaites #laithwaiteswine #newwineresolution #southafrica
  • “I’ve reached out to our winemakers to see if they’re okay. As we speak, all of their partners, families and loved ones are all safe. All we can do is tell them we’re thinking of them and let them know we’re here if they need us.” Dan Parrott, our buyer in Australia, tells us how the wine industry is coping with the country's worst bushfire crisis in decades.

  • Jo Nash (right) and her assistant Olivia are two of our all-time Aussie winemakers. It wasn't always Jo's dream to get into winemaking. In fact she didn't really get into wine until she was living in the UK while working for a bank. With France just a couple of hours away, Jo began exploring different grapes and soon caught the bug! Now Jo and Olivia work together at @mcphersonwines making two of our favourite wines: The Full Fifteen and Jo's secret Shiraz Don't Tell Gary.
  • Every so often our winemakers get in touch with an offer we just can't say no to ... and the latest has come from Alvaro van Zellar. Alvaro makes some of Portugal's most revered wines, as well as a Port which fetched £2,000 a bottle. So when he told us a sale of this satin-smooth, oak-aged red had been abandoned by buyers with cash flow issues our attention was piqued. He knows how much our customers love Portuguese reds and offered us his cases for just £6.99 a bottle ... that's a rescue deal too good to miss!

  • Rich, full-bodied reds with equally rich and warming food is just what this time of year calls for. We recommend something like an oak-aged Gran Reserva Rioja for melt-in-the-mouth meaty stews or a Super Tuscan to pair with tomato-based vegetable casseroles.

ABOUT LAITHWAITE'S

Laithwaite's began in 1969, when Tony Laithwaite took a job washing bottles in Bordeaux... and fell in love with real wine and the people who make it. When he borrowed a van to share these delicious wines with friends and neighbours at home, things went so well that boutique wineries were soon queuing to take part. Today we're the UK's No.1 home-delivery wine merchant, with over 1,500 wines to choose from... including red, white and rosé, plus Champagne and sparkling, beer and cider.
