La Petite Vanguard 2024 'Corsair'
From the producer:
Our pirate blend of three Portuguese varietals— Prieto Picudo, Graciano, Alfrochiero, Tinta Barocca, Mencia
These grapes were hand-harvested and co-fermented in an open-top 2.5-ton fermenter, with gentle daily plunging for three weeks before being basket pressed.
The wine then spent nine months maturing in seasoned 500L puncheons, bottled without fining or filtration.
Expect a balanced blend of smooth tannins and fresh acidity, with red and black fruits from the Prieto Picudo and Alfrochiero. The Graciano and Tinta Barocca add a touch of aromatic spice, while the Mencia brings it all together. Enjoy it now, or let it age gracefully for years to come.
Let customers speak for us
from 30 reviewsI love Dave's wine revival, the wine is delicious & well priced, it's a great location to sit and enjoy a drink. Most importantly the staff are amazing & incredibly helpful.
I love that you can BYO food, and take your unfinished wine home.
Some live music would be a great addition.
Very nice to drink, there is a smoothness to this that is truly enjoyable
Extremely drinkable. We bought a case of the 2023 Gerler GSM during the November sales, promptly finished it, and came back for more in December. We were delighted to discover that it was 2025's #1 bestseller – well deserved!
The rose is a tangy fragrant summer cold treat- really liked it
Lovely light white, which lingers on the palate really pleasingly.
An amazing wine - as always. The only problem I have is that I ma go through a box very quickly.
We love the Gerler Vermentino. It has a delicious crisp light flavour. A great wine to accompany many dishes.
Delicious rosé wine. Definitely up to Gerler’s very high standards.
Love it!!! Hope you will have something similar in the future.
Love this wine! It was a great surprise- a bit like a reisling but with a stronger body. Will definitely buy it again.
Absolutely amazing wine! It would be in my favourite top 3 Sauvignon Blancs I’ve ever tasted!
