Yves Ruffin Champagne Premier Cru Extra Brut NV France

Time to Get Fruity - wine and strawberries. "Fresh yeast and apple aromas lead to refreshing green apple acidity before a big dry tang on the finish. Totally refreshing drop that's exclusive to Organico and perfect for Wimbledon. Full of fruit-driven bubbles that cut beautifully through sweet succulent strawberries."

"It's important to source wines direct, to build up a fantastic relationship with the growers themselves, and of course to select only the best wines through exhaustive research. This results in bottles that you believe in and knowledge that your customers will enjoy them too. Wine is for drinking and it's to be enjoyed, all our efforts are for this purpose."

5 Stars for Guy Bossard Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie 2004 Loire, France

"Fresh dry lemon and mineral aromas deliver more vibrant and concentrated tangy citrus and bitter almond flavours that stay mildly nutty to a dry finish. Beginning to mature but still very clean, very direct, very Muscadet and very drinkable."

"What a treat to taste these wines from Organico, Ambleside, which featured recently in Food & Drink. Each had such character and individuality that my star rating didn't drop below five."

5 Stars for Castello di Arcano Superiore Sauvignon Fruili Grave DOC 2005 Friuli, Italy.

"A richer than expected nose of butter and almond with a sprinkle of sage and peppers opens to a full bodied flavour of artichoke and fresh herbs while keeping good acidity before a fruity spiced dry finish. A must for Sauvignon Blanc fans just to see how different the grape becomes, full bodied yet still possessing good refreshing acidity, here in the north east of Italy."

5+ Stars for Antica Enotria Falu Rosso IGT 2004 Puglia, Italy.

"Classic spiced ripe plum and cherry aromas serves up everything you expect in light to medium bodied flavours of fresh cherry with that refreshing bitter edge that rolls on and on to a drier prune-soaked finish. Simplicity is always best. Anyone can be obscure but it takes a genius to be simple. A stormer - probably the best Montipulciano I have tasted in a decade."

5 Stars for La Spinosa Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG 2003 Tuscany, Italy.

"Intensely perfumed scents of red and blackberry fruits with a hint of mild marzipan delivers a juicy rush of fruit flavours before a complementary tannic structure pulls the mouth to the finish with a bitter cherry edge. A cracking Chianti that once again is confident in its simplicity."
