As you know, we like to keep our ears to the ground at Wine Rascal HQ; keeping up with the latest wine trends so you don’t have to. While doing so, one report in this month’s Harper’s Mag really got us excited. A bit like those old wartime conscription adverts, once we saw it, we…

The Wine Rascals
Supplying the trade with wine from families, not factories.
Our newest Rascal has arrived just in time for the Summer and they’ve got us in an absolute frenzy; polishing our china, ironing our curtains and alphabetising our cereal. Detail and delicacy are everything to the Combard family at Domaine St. Andre Figuière, and that’s what makes their rosé the best. The crème de la…
…Sorry about the pun. We’re just a bit excited. Not really about the world cup though, to be honest. Of course we’re over the moon about Saturday’s game, but there’s another English team that have really stolen the thunder from Southgate’s boys, and they’ve already come home to Wine Rascal HQ. Fitz winery are the…
New Tricks for the Wine World After a fruitful but fatiguing few days at London Wine Fair back in May, one of our Rascals packed his bag, made his escape from Olympia (the closing down of which was starting to get a bit Mad Max) and headed into central London for a leisurely evening free…
Last week we introduced Kamara Estate, the family behind our new, outstanding range of all-natural wines. White, red, orange wine and a pet nat rosé, each as quaffable as the last. There has been a lot of lively debate about natural wine in recent years. The Twitter reaction to one profanity-laiden article reminded us of similar…
Right off the back of our gushing introduction to Henry of Pelham, there’s another bunch of Rascals you’ve just GOT to meet. “Oh let me guess”, you scoff, “another sustainable, small-parcel, family vineyard, eh, Wine Rascals?” Well, yes, but that’s not all that makes this bunch so pinch-their-cheeks adorable. Their love of their craft, their…
Like a frantic parent awaiting their child’s arrival home after a party, we were worried sick for all of our producers in Champagne after hearing about unexpected hail storms affecting many farmers. We spoke to a few of our Rascals in Champagne for an update on how they have been getting on. “Until now we…
Last week, we quizzed Dan Speck, Vice President at Henry of Pelham; the Canadian winery that we’ve not been able to stop talking about. We chatted to Dan about keeping business in the family, winemaking in Canada as a whole, sustainability and …cougars. The poor boy must have thought he’d finally got us off of…
Yesterday we introduced an exciting new addition to our Rascal family, Henry of Pelham, of Ontario, Canada. We learned about the history, the sustainable practice and the working relationship of the three Speck brothers. But we couldn’t stop there! These guys certainly have a great story, but their wines stand out on a completely different…
