Just A Glass

Rouge 2018

DOMAINE DE RAPATEL Origin: Languedoc, France Type: Red Grape(s): Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault, Merlot ABV: 14% The color is deep garnet here. The nose is fine, complex, on stewed plum, leather, dried orange peel…and lots of other things (including a hint of VA that brings things up nicely). The palate is just as fine, tense, with a silky and fresh material gradually gaining in density, and a decadent aromatic, marrying a vibrant fruit with tertiary notes. The finish delivers a fine tasty chew, with a return to the plum enhanced by citrus peel and spices.

Rueda 2023

NUESTRO DE DIAZ BAYO Origin: Castilla y León, Spain Type: Light Grape(s): Verdejo ABV: 13% Spanish dry whites, much like Italian ones, are a little under-sung in our opinion. This Verdejo offers lime and grapefruit, light grassy hints as well. On the palate you’ll get some lemongrass, quinine/tonic water, and some pleasant smokiness - a little of the smell of a grill with aromatic herbs on the go. It’s juicy and fleshy, some glycerol to texture, but also a bright citrus tang to complement. !Hola.

BUBBLES

Great palate cleansers to start the dinner with.

Les Blaissières NV

MAISON CROCHET Origin: Alsace, France Type: Traditional Method Grape(s): Auxerrois, Chardonnay ABV: 12.5% Aromatically, this opens clean and precise: fresh green apple, lemon zest, and a gentle touch of biscuit - the kind that sneaks in more as it warms up. On the palate, it’s seamless. The texture is smooth, the acid well integrated, the balance technically spot-on. There’s some nice tension here, of crunch, of that high-definition snap we usually associate with this winery. A very well made wine that glides across the palate.

Brutal 2023

2NATURKINDER Origin: Franken, Germany Type: Light Grape(s): Riesling ABV: 11.5% Lime, white peach, bath salt perfume with a hint of dried herbs as well. A beautifully judged Riesling that strikes a rare balance between freshness and texture. The palate brings unexpected weight and fruit generosity without losing its zing. Textural, lively and complex, it’s a wine that shows 2Naturkinder’s knack for making structured, soulful whites that are unusual but unforgettable.

Brin de Lune 2022

LES VIGNES DU FRESCHE Origin: Loire Valley, France Type: Light Grape(s): Chenin Blanc ABV: 11% This is a ripper drink, a little plusher and rambunctious than expected, a sloshy, joyous feel to the wine, though in that the piercing core of saline minerality does its trick. Riper on the nose - stone fruit and honey hints that nod toward Savennières, though without the same weight or density. The palate stays fresh and easy, light in frame with a clean line of acidity. Drinks well and feels effortless. A relaxed, enjoyable Chenin.

ORANGE

Orange wine is basically white wine made the red wine way - grape juice hanging out with its skins during fermentation. That skin contact turns the wine a deep amber or orange and gives it extra grip, texture, and personality.

Harvest Moon 2023

SOMA VINES Origin: Rheinhessen, Germany Type: Medium Grape(s): Riesling ABV: 12.5% This is an orange full of character. On the nose - quince, jasmine, lemon balm, frangipani, and a bit of green melon. The palate is wild: like tangerine juice turned up to 11. Skinsy grip keeps things taut, while the flavours roll into halva, citrus oil, and melon. Super expressive, borderline overwhelming, but fun as hell to drink. Not your everyday orange - and that’s kind of the point.

Inkanto 2022

RADOVIČ   Origin: Carso, Italy Type: Medium Grape(s): Vitovska, Malvazija ABV: 12.5% A blend of Vitovska and Malvasia Istriana (two indigenous grapes for this part of Italy), this pours a light golden hue and opens with a sunny, stone-fruited nose - peach skin, apricot, hints of mango and pineapple. The palate is vibrant and clean, with a light textural edge that adds interest without weighing it down. Not aiming for depth, but it nails balance and drinkability. Fresh, easy, and seriously likeable.

$129.00

l'Analepse Blanc 2021

DOMAINE TERRES PROMISES Origin: Provence, France Type: Medium Grape(s): Carignan Blanc ABV: 12% Easy to like, easy to get, an easy to drink orange wine. It’s spicy, herbal, gently sweet in perfume. Think orange rind, mandarin juice, green apple, rosemary and basil herbs. Lovely. On the palate, chalky and fringed with light tannins. Juiciness is a thing too, as is a curious curry spice note in the palate, yet the wine has tangy freshness on its side. It finishes both puckering and mouthwatering. Gripping, grippy wine of character.

$129.00

El Romano Orange 2023

VINO SEXTO ELEMENTO Origin: Valencia, Spain Type: Medium Grape(s): Tardana, Macabeu ABV: 13% Tardana and Macabeu are the local grape varieties, the place is Valencia in Spain. Chalky soils, a unique site, au naturale winemaking. Exotic thing, this. Tastes and smells like mandarin juice, evocatively, juicy, sweet-sour, slightly floral, stacked with citrus fruit character, ginger characters mixed in, a touch of green herb too. Medium weight but so much texture and flavour going on – a delight to drink.

$99.00

ROSÉ

Rosés are like summer in a glass - refreshingly crisp, with the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and textures, making every sip feel like a mini vacation. At In Bad Company, we choose more exciting styles to pair with our dishes and bring more attention to this category.

Rosé 2022

HERVÉ VILLEMADE Origin: Loire Valley, France Type: Light Grape(s): Pineau d'Aunis ABV: 12%  One of our favourite grapes, from a producer that we really love and whose wines you will see often on our list. Peach tea, melon, a herb and floral perfume, fennel seeds, strawberries too. It’s juicy, but balanced, lots of fresh strawberry and raspberry, bright acidity, with a chalky and dusty texture. A glycerol slipperiness, though it finishes tight, with a twist of blood orange and excellent length. Nice.

RED

Kézako? 2022

DOMAINE MĂMĂRUTÁ  Origin: Languedoc, France  Type: Light  Grape(s): Carignan  ABV: 11.5%   Intense small black berries, herbs de Provence perfume, some blood orange peel here too. It’s medium-bodied, bright and cool in acidity, but dense in dark fruit flavour, tannin is tight and silty, and that combination of earthiness, floral and herb mouth-perfume is really so fetching. The finish is long and bright, and gee it drinks well and offers so much interest, with something of a scrubby wild country feel. We like this a lot.

$89.00

Nous Encore 2023

SÉBASTIEN MORIN Origin: Beaujolais, France Type: Light Grape(s): Gamay ABV: 12.5% Nous Encore (Us Again) is everything you’d hope for in a playful, glou-glou Gamay. Stunning nose of cherry pie, sour cherry, cooked cherry, cherry juice. Basically, cherry all around in the first pour. Perfectly integrated alcohol and acidity, with such a sexy texture. Persistent all the way through. This is as quintessentially Beaujolais as natural wine gets - light-bodied, fresh, and impossible to put down.

$109.00

La Haute Ronzé 2019

NICOLAS CHEMARIN  Origin: Beaujolais, France Type: Light Grape(s): Gamay ABV: 13%  This is tightly wound and compact with a slight haze to texture and a pleasing balance of sweet-sour-bitter of red berry fruit and herbal elements. It’s quite zesty as a red wine, succulent in texture too, a refreshing, if not crisp finish. Tart cherries, rose hip tea, a faint ginger element, dried basil and cardamom spice are the quarry. It feels very modern and bright and drinks suuuuper well.

$119.00

La Korse 2021

KOERNER Origin: Clare Valley, Australia Type: Medium Grape(s): Sangiovese, Grenache, Sciacarello, Malbec, Carignan ABV: 12.8% Corsican-inspired blend. An edgy and energetic wine with its vivacious acid profile and general pluck and crunch. Red cherries galore at the crisper edge of their profile. Strawberry in there too. There’s a faint slosh of cola, a faint lick of liquid cinnamon/clove spice too. Tannins are firming, stony and proper. It feels a bit on the leaner side. Get some red sauce meatballs happening and watch it work its magic.

$119.00

Zwei Not?! 2024

LES VINS DÉBROUILLARDS Origin: Nagano, Japan Type: Light Grape(s): Zweigelt ABV: 10.5% Here’s a Zweigelt, styled au naturale, for your drinking pleasure. Nagano is a strange place to grow Zweigelt, but it works. Chalky and sappy, sour cherry orientated with some game meat notes, fennel, roast capsicum, paprika. A lot of vitality here and feeling mighty original. Has nice, slurpy texture, a little herbal tang builds to a slightly ‘spicy’ finish, but feels decent in the mode of the wine. Savoury red, but fresh too. It’s got a vibe.

$139.00

Porco Rosso 2022

L’ETRANGER Origin: Languedoc, France Type: Medium Grape(s): Syrah ABV: 13.5% Cherry, poached strawberry, quite a lot of spearmint, brown spices and dark cocoa, an amaro top note. It’s medium-bodied, a lot of squishy red cherry and strawberry, a bit salty and coffee-laced, some orange tang, with chinotto and mint on a finish of solid length. It’s a bit different, though does have a sort of cough medicine quality about it, which is quirky, though not off-putting. A wine of interest.

$109.00

Zero Gravity 2023

WEINHOF SZEMES Origin: Burgenland, Austria Type: Medium Grape(s): Blaufränkisch, Welschriesling ABV: 12% Another amazing expression of Blaufränkisch from Oscar Szemes based in Burgenland, Austria. Pepper, violets, slate. Coffee, nutmeg, chocolate pralines. It finishes amazingly long and minerally, with just a brush of slate-like, cool stone tannins and a light acid lift on the back palate. The Welschriesling adds brightness and texture to this already beautiful wine. Fine, detailed perfume, a long lingering finish.

$109.00

A'Kira 2020

ARACHON T-FX-T Origin: Burgenland, Austria Type: Medium Grape(s): Blaufränkisch ABV: 13% Illa Szemes, F.X. Pichler, and Manfred Tement are the trio fantastico behind the pure and detailed expressions of Blaufränkisch from Arachon. Velvety rose petals, violets, clove orange spice on the palate. Tannins are off the charts, very fine and plentiful. Fine cocoa powder and rock dust, purple fruit and plump plums, cherries. It’s unbelievably juicy, mineral, crunchy with a smooth finish. Delicious.

$99.00

Pommard 2021

MAURICE GAVIGNET Origin: Burgundy, France Type: Medium Grape(s): Pinot Noir ABV: 13% This has a bloody, steely thing about it, which we guess is typical Pommard. Cherry, mint and dried herbs, subtle vanilla and spiced oak. It’s medium-bodied with cherry and plum screaming at you. Bright fresh berry acidity, a fine chalky grip to tannin, a ferrous element too, and a bright and juicy finish of good length. Some blood orange in the aftertaste. Such a good wine. Vivacious and crunchy.

$229.00

Rouge 2018

DOMAINE DE RAPATEL Origin: Languedoc, France Type: Medium Grape(s): Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault, Merlot ABV: 14% The color is deep garnet here. The nose is fine, complex, on stewed plum, leather, dried orange peel…and lots of other things (including a hint of VA that brings things up nicely). The palate is just as fine, tense, with a silky and fresh material gradually gaining in density, and a decadent aromatic, marrying a vibrant fruit with tertiary notes. The finish delivers a fine tasty chew, with a return to the plum enhanced by citrus peel and spices.

$79.00

'Sankt Georgen' Zweigelt 2020

WEINGUT ESTERHÀZY Origin: Burgenland, Austria Type: Medium Grape(s): Zweigelt ABV: 13% Austria’s Burgenland has a knack for these approachable, yet structured reds. Esterhàzy is an organic wine producer forged by a princely line of Emperor Leopold I. Light and lean, grippy and chalky with tight, bristling tannins. Dark cherry, cola, green dill herb and some saline-minerally characters. Rips along at pace, modest perfume, lighter weight feel on the palate. Very bright, good refreshment factor. Drinks like a charm.

$109.00

'Corcelette' Morgon 2022

CHÂTEAU DE POUGELON Origin: Beaujolais, France Type: Medium Grape(s): Gamay ABV: 13.5% How do you resist a Morgon this good? Cherry, ripe raspberry, and a spicy, distinctly smoky sort of mescal thing here, which we like, along with some dried rose. It’s medium-bodied, quite firm and grainy in tannin, something of a roast red capsicum character in with cherry pip and blueberries, bright and kind of ‘minerally’ acidity, with a dry finish of good length. We do like the energy here. It’s one of those wines where it’s kind of hard to get your head around, though we do like it.

$109.00

Fumizuki Rosso 2024

DUE PUNTI VINEYARDS Origin: Hokkaido, Japan Type: Medium Grape(s): Zweigelt, Merlot, Pinot Noir ABV: 13.5% Blackberry, boysenberry, raspberry, cocoa powder, or maybe a mocha thing, black tobacco, a little mint, pencils and floral perfume. It’s medium-bodied, pulls quite savoury and earthy, black olive in the mix, kind of ferrous too. A firm grip to tannin, a bit of cranberry crunch to acidity, a little saline nori thing adds an extra dimension, and the finish is long and firm. This is an excellent release.

$169.00

SR Cabernets 2021

NOCTURNE Origin: Margaret River, Australia Type: Medium Grape(s): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec ABV: 14% This Cab Sauv dominated blend is super fresh - almost like biting into a just-picked blackberry. Hardly any oak, so you’re tasting the grape and the place straight up, not a furniture store. Red and black fruit, dried tobacco, a little mint and cocoa. It’s a wine of interest and impact, and mainly, we just enjoy that it’s a pretty serious red for not a lot of money.

$129.00

Heretaunga Cru 2020

SMITH & SHETH Origin: Hawkes Bay, New Zealand Type: Medium Grape(s): Syrah ABV: 12.5% An outstanding vintage from a classic Syrah region. What a gem. Very fresh on the nose with ripe black fruit that comes in forms of both fresh and jammy blueberry, blackcurrant and plum. Hints of tar, black pepper and stewed meat. Medium-bodied, but packs an enjoyable fruit concentration - like stuffing your mouth with licorice that's beautifully sweet and refreshing at the same time. Ripe tannins, followed by an acidity that's still well and kicking.

$129.00

8 Meses 2023

BODEGA DIAZ BAYO Origin: Ribera del Duero, Spain Type: Full Grape(s): Tempranillo ABV: 14% Here’s a big, delicious chocolaty wine (but not sweet!). Black cherry, vanilla nougat and coconut cream, new leather and spice. It’s thick and packed with black fruit, smooth coconut and vanilla oak, ripe sticky tannin, a slight warmth, quite firm acidity, and lots of bitter chocolate and mocha on a long finish. It’s about as subtle as a brick, but the power and quality is undeniable.

$109.00

XCLNT 2021

BODEGAS CARE Origin: Aragon, Spain Type: Full Grape(s): Grenache, Carignan ABV: 14% Pretty amazing wine. So perfumed, so minty, so silken and so seductive. Cherries, raspberries, spearmint and floral characters put on an exaggeratedly pretty show, the nose and then the palate totally wooing you from the outset. This is bright, full in weight, vibrant and, even, joyous. Tannin feels grapey in the best of ways. One sip and we were hooked.

$129.00

Cuvée Arthur 2009

DOMAINE DE RAPATEL Origin: Languedoc, France Type: Full Grape(s): Grenache, Syrah ABV: 14.5% Big red from the south of France. Strawberry, raspberry, plenty of spice and perfume. It’s medium-bodied, strawberry and spice, Earl Grey tea perfume, a fine, stoney grip to tannin. A little savoury and nutty. Balanced acidity, finishing long with a dusty/peppery flourish. It has a certain softness and come-hither appeal, and that’s a point of difference too. Beautifully made and absolutely delicious.

$139.00

Pario 2019

L’ARCO Origin: Veneto, Italy Type: Full Grape(s): Corvinone, Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara  ABV: 15%   A savory beast, with a burst of smoke and crushed rocks giving way to white pepper-tinged black cherries and wild herbs. It sweeps across the palate with silky textures and polished wild berry fruits, propelled by zesty acidity as salty mineral tones saturate toward the close. It finishes saline and youthfully tannic yet still quite fresh, leaving rosy inner florals and a chalky sensation that lingers on and on.
