Hop Burns & Black natural wine killers wine subscription box

Peckham-based Hop Burns & Black specialise in natural wine and craft beer and were one of the first natural wine subscriptions available. The monthly box, natural wine killers, is a three-bottle-strong lineup of wines with bags of personality, all selected to be 100 per cent natural and exceptionally expressive of their terroir.
A recent box included Wilder Satz: made with a thrilling mish-mash of grape varieties in Pfalz, Germany, the team call it "alcoholic lemonade" and goodness it really is – and only 10.5 per cente to boot. Think crisp apples and pears with a healthy swirl of lemon sherbet and you’re there, and its all down to its carbonic maceration and a tea-bag-style brew in some zesty riesling apparently. The same box also included a beautifully floral Italian barbera and ruche blend, Cascina Tavijn 68, and a Les Tailles Rouges 2019 from the Loire which is a richly spiced cabernet franc and cab sav blend from one of Hop Burns & Black’s favourite winemakers.
We love the little touches with this subscription: frank, no-nonsense descriptors and explanations on the winemaking process and the fact that you get a series of food match suggestions with each wine, along with a full recipe for one bottle. Catch us making their suggested Persian fried rice and ordering many, many more bottles of that fabulous Wilder Satz.
