Natural wines often (though not always) have a hint of the funky about them, and we really like that. It's quite a difficult thing to put your finger on, but it can be slightly earthy, farmyard aromas, a hint of spritz or some crunchy acid. We've put together a couple of cases for you which will give you a great introduction to the world of the funky. This one is a selection of some our favourite funky whites. Monfarina is Jacquere, a fascinating variety from Savoie, lean, bitter yet also very fresh, wild, crunchy with minerals and hints mountain herbs, pretty clean for a funkster but a wine that intrigues the palate. Populis Wabi-Sabi is a fresh and lively blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Colombard. Theodora is a fascinating incarnation of Gruner Veltliner from renowned biodynamic Austrian estate Gut Oggau, with fresh, herbal flavours, and something a little bit vegetable. Roditis Ligas, a fabulous example of this unusual grape which combines pine resin aroma and soft fruit fleshiness. L'Orange is great, the skin contact giving a charming savoury note without too much orange wine dryness. La Rumbera is one of those little unknown natural beauties from Penedes, a hot bed for this type of expressive energizing wine, you can easily all excited about this one and you finish it in 20 minutes. Enjoy!

This collection is a really diverse but high quality set of wines. I'm a fan of natural wines and these do not disappoint in their range of funkiness - including some genuine all our psychedelic wines and some more approachable ones. The mix works really well with food and is perfect for summer. I'll definitely be buying again Delivering and packaging is first rate, no chance of breakage at all.
