The Edit - Robin's picks for this month - a three bottle box set

The Edit is our monthly selection of what's exciting and drinking well, chosen by Robin, founder of Iron & Rose and still a wine obsessive. The three bottles selected change each month to reflect the season, the food we're enjoying, and often to introduce new arrivals. 

Offered at a discounted price, it is three banging bottles to introduce you to our world of natural wine, to encourage you to delve deeper, or for a treat to yourself or as a gift.

Subscribe for regular deliveries and save even further. Although the price of The Edit will vary according to the wines chosen each month, it will always be between £60 and £90 and by subscribing you'll save an additional £3.50 off each box set - enough to buy yourself a V60 pour-over coffee from PetitGlou to enjoy while you scan the shelves in Iron & Rose or relax after some intensive market shopping.

We're heading to the heights with this month's Edit, for wines with a breath of fresh mountain air. 

This box set contains three bottles, one of each of the following wines, made by inspirational producers, the kind of wines which inspired Robin to start Iron & Rose back in 2016 - 

Foradori, Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco 2021, Vigneti Delle Dolomiti, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

Created by Luigi Manzoni around 1924, at a time when many new varieties and hybrids were being developed in response to the challenges of phylloxera and other vineyard pests and diseases, Manzoni Bianco is a cross between Pinot Blanc and Riesling, one of the most successful hybrids to come out of that period, and now widespread in the Trentino region.
Fermented on skins in cement tanks then aged for seven months in acacia. This wine has great depth and nuttiness as well as delicate floral notes.

Manos Negras, Artesano Malbec, Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, Argentina - 

With Alejandro Sejanovich at the helm and getting his hands dirty, Manos Negras is leading the way in modern wine producers in Argentina who specialise at latitude winemaking as well as his ground breaking research into Mendoza Malbec clones. Altamira has Mendoza's most unique soil profile with sandy, silty and stony soils all present in the same vineyard and Artesano is made with grapes grown at 1200 mars altitude in the Andes. The Malbec is then blended with touches of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot before spending 15 months in oak bringing a wine with bags of bold, New World power and floral notes

Viticola Mentridana, El Mentridano, Mentrida, Sierra de Gredos, Spain - 

The Sierra de Gredos is a wild and remote region of granite peaks and forests in the country between Madrid and the border with Portugal. Like many such regions in Spain the land is difficult to farm and very many vineyards were abandoned. But the free draining acidic soils, the high altitude and long growing season, and the pockets of ancient vines have attracted a new generation of growers. Among them Curro Barreño, who grew up in the area and also makes wine in Ribeira Sacra, further north in Galicia. El Mentridano is a graceful wine with ethereal, floral aromatics, and power and structure.
