Biodynamic Wines
Bio-dynamic wine is wine made using organic production methods, but also in conjunction with a set of cosmic principles based on the idea that the earth is a living thing. While it sounds spacey, it is employed by some of the world's rarest and most expensive wines.
Sustainable & Organic are the levels below and you can read an explainer here.
Arnold Holzer 'Das Geholz' Roter Veltliner
Made with a slight oxidisation, the rare variety of Roter Veltliner is parried into an explosive and exciting wine here - a real diva.

Arnold Holzer 'Invaders!'
€23,00
Arnold Holzer 'Invaders!'
Training wheel 'orange wine' that is, white wine made with skin contact, unusual but not challenging - delicious.
€23,00
Arnold Holzer ALTWEINGARTEN GRÜNER VELTLINER
A lively Veltliner with a scent of green pome and Grapefruit, sharp acidity on the palate and a medium to long finish. High end.
€23,00
Arnold Holzer Eisenhut Zweigelt
This can only be described as SUPER JUICE. Zweigelt is a hard name to say, but it gives light, delicious, juicy wines.
€23,00
Arnold Holzer GOLDBERG GRÜNER VELTLINER
Clear, aromatic and with piquant favours in the nose. Also with recognizable essences of stone fruits - luxury Gruner.
€23,00
Arnold Holzer HINTERNBERG RIESLING
Banging Riesling, unusually not in a Riesling flute - good way to get it passed people who apparently dont like Riesling (they will).
€25,00
Arnold Holzer Limit GRÜNER VELTLINER
Limit(less)! Arnold likes to play with the limits of Gruner and does so here by producing one with a bit of skin contact. Confounding. Yummy.
€23,00
Arnold Holzer ZERO G GRÜNER VELTLINER
A light and fresh wine the Zero-G is becoming a famous wine at this stage around the traps in Dublin.
€20,00
Arnold Holzer ZERO G Zweigelt
Zweigelt is an uncomplicated, juicy and slightly peppery red, with soft tannins - you will fall in love via this wine.
€20,00
Bibi Graetz Soffocone Di Vincigliata 2018
Famous wine, not least for having a sex act depicted on the label. 100% Sangiovese - total cult wine.
€50,00
Bodegas Ponce la Xara
€19,00
Bodegas Ponce la Xara
Is there anything Valencia can't do? Got its own super-raspy expression of Garnacha - this is sublime.
€19,00
Claus Preisinger KalkundKiesel Rot / KKR
KalkundKiesel Rot/KKR is rich and deep, yet also surprisingly light and easy at the same time. Has a longer finish than you might expect for it’s 11.5% alcohol. Notes primarily of blackberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, iron. Delicious. MORE NATURAL
€34,00
Fabien Jouves 'a Table'
€24,00
Fabien Jouves 'a Table'
I don't remember ever knowingly trying a Malbec, Tannat, Merlot blend still wine, never mind a Rose. Unfiltered and bonkers.
€24,00
Fabien Jouves 'Nectar des Dieux' ONE LITRE
The label looks like a terrible acid trip (one imagines of course) and you can't even make out the name on the label. Delicious though.
€33,00
Mas del Perie Les Escures
€28,00
Mas del Perie Les Escures
Mabec, concrete, exceptional purity. Between the modern Malbecs of Fabien Jouves and Valerie Courreges, Cahors might be the most exciting region in France.
€28,00
Matthiasson 'White Wine' 2019
Mattiasson making the unsexy sexy. A Bordeaux white blend style with the inspired addition of Fruilano and Ribolla Gialla for some spicy roundness.
€48,00
Matthiasson Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Broad and expansive, but tight and compact. That doesnt make any sense, but who needs sense when you have Matthiasson Cabernet.
€96,00
Matthiasson Linda Vista Chardonnay 2020
Benchmark Napa Valley Chardonnay. Utterly compelling and delicious.
€48,00
Matthiasson Ribolla Gialla Amber 2019
Orange wine from Ribolla Gialla, fermented whole cluster, with the skins and stems, until dryness. Real savoury, real interesting.
€64,00

Small plot up on the hill of Pommard, named for the Pommard Premier Cru vineyard of the same name which is beside it.
€50,00

The wine comes from a parcel just to the South of the Premier Cru vineyard of Morgeot.
€78,00
Rodolphe Demougeot Pommard 2021
Rudolphe Demougeot's best foot forward - it is utterly outrageous quite frankly!
€80,00
Tu Vin Aux Soirees! Fabien Jouves
Another wonder blend from Cahors' badass wine maker, Fabien Jouves. The name of this one is some sort of clever pun on you are no longer welcome at this party.
€26,00
You F+%k My Wine! Fabien Jouves
The flambouyantly named You Fuck My Wine is just delicious, intense, lively and really, really racy acidity.
€26,00
