FAUX PICPOUL BLANC

Great solo, but lovely with seafood, and spicy Thai food.

Nice and cold.

Blair and Caroline Guthrie are making honest wines, farmed responsibly. Their baby side project (only 600 cases a year) is filled with so much love – their wines are comforting and light-hearted as a Sunday morning dance party in your bathrobe. Beneath that, they are strongly focused on preserving and encouraging the good in the world – environmentally, ethically and everything in between.

They seek out some of the best in the biz farmers in the region, who are doing things the right way in the vineyards. Eschewing capsules entirely, they’re saving waste on that front. They also support cool young artists they trawl up on the interweb for their labels.

It's like a perfect mixtape, with a bright and lively personality that's impossible to resist.
