Romain Le Bars
2024 Release Tasting
Saturday 13th
3pm - 6pm
Join us this Saturday as we taste through the hyped wines of the 2024 release of Romain Le Bars!
Romains le Bars had a keen interest and desire to learn as much as possible about wine in his early 20s. Naturally, he wanted to learn from the best and applied for a job in the Rhone with Eric Pfifferling of Domaine L’Anglore. He then worked for 7 years at this cult winery with evident influence in his wines under this label. He then managed to snag a little plot of 1.2 hectares in Tavel and vinified his first vintage with the help of Eric’s son Thibault in his garage, producing just 3000 bottles.
Romain managed to find an additional 3 hectares of vineyards to rent in Lirac and has found himself a vacant winery to rent on the outskirts of Tavel as well. Grenache and Syrah can be found in the Tavel plot, the soil being calcareous rocky scree. In Lirac and its surroundings the soil is sand and clay with limestone throughout, planted to Ugni Blanc, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan. In L’Anglore fashion, Romain direct presses the grapes for about 3 hours and employs carbonic maceration for roughly 5-9 days depending on the variety for the freshness and silkiness this brings to the wines. In the cellar, fermentation only occurs with natural yeasts and the wines are unfined and unfiltered. Some cuvees are sans soufre, while others receive only a splash at bottling.
These are the wines that we'll be tasting on the day:
2024 Le Clau
2024 Lirac Rose
2024 Tavel
2024 Pousse Cailloux
2023 Lirac
I even tasted a bottle of the '23 Tavel a few weeks ago next to a '23 L'Anglore and the Romain Le Bars looked the best! Don't miss out on this tasting of wines that are in all the best wine bars around the world!

Sparkling Promo
Nathalie Theulot
We have a ridiculously good special on some smart sparkling wine for this Christmas and NYE!
The Nathalie Theulot Blanc de Noirs Cremant de Bourgogne is 100% Pinot Noir sourced from a Bourgogne designated vineyard in the Côte Chalonnaise with ripe citrus and stone fruits framed by some nice toasty notes and creamy bubbles.
The full price of this wine would ordinarily be $62 and it would be good value even at that price. We managed to get our hands on the last stock of this from the warehouse at a good deal that brings it down to $40 for a single bottle or $34 in a pack of 6. This is a saving of up to 45%!
When we tasted this, we genuinely thought that this can easily contest the quality of Champagne that you would see around the $100 mark. It's better to buy a great bottle of Cremant than an average bottle of Champagne - stock up on this sensational sparkling for Christmas and NYE!
