THIRST-QUENCHING SUMMER REDS
Forget the old routine that says red wine only belongs next to a roaring winter fire. When the sun comes out, a quick twenty minutes in the fridge completely transforms lighter, fruit-forward reds into the ultimate summer refreshment.
From vibrant CRU Beaujolais to bright, bouncy Pinot Noir and unique Australian blends, these bottles are specifically crafted with crisp acidity and soft tannins. They are built for the ice bucket, bringing a brilliant, thirst-quenching energy to the glass that pairs perfectly with relaxed garden barbecues, simple charcuterie, and lazy sunny afternoons.

THE RIESLING REVELATION
Think Riesling is always sweet and dusty? Think again. This global powerhouse is the ultimate white wine chameleon, delivering everything from bone-dry, laser-sharp Australian lime juice to pristine German mineral classics and sun-ripened French peach flavours. Free from heavy oak barrels, it relies on pure, mouth-watering freshness that pairs effortlessly with weekend sunshine to your favourite fiery Friday night takeaway.
This remarkable versatility comes down to a natural, vibrant acidity that keeps every sip feeling incredibly alive. Because the grape is wonderfully robust, it acts as a perfect liquid mirror to the soil beneath the vines, changing its personality entirely depending on where it finds a home. From the high-altitude, crisp alpine slopes of New Zealand to the rich, historic terroirs of Alsace, it offers an incredible spectrum of dry, refreshing styles. Explore an international lineup of independent grower gems ready to completely change how you view white wine.

THE ULTIMATE THIRST QUENCHER
A lazy, sun-drenched afternoon is something to be completely savoured. It is the perfect excuse to step away from the daily routine and head outside. When you are relaxing in the sun, the wine in your glass should reflect the mood perfectly. That is why we have put together a brilliant lineup of rosé wines built specifically for easy drinking and absolute enjoyment. These are bottles with real character - wines that are incredibly refreshing but still packed with authentic, delicious flavour.
This selection spans the crisp, super-pale pinks of Provence, right through to the vibrant Rosados from Spain that are bursting with summer fruit. Because a sunny day can easily turn into a celebration, we have also included a stellar lineup of pink Champagne and premium English fizz.
Every bottle here has been chosen because it delivers outstanding quality and genuine character.
Find your favourite, chill it down, and enjoy the sunshine.

A BRACING WAVE OF ATLANTIC FRESHNESS
While the sun-baked plains of inland Spain dominate the headlines, the green, rain-swept coastline of Galicia produces a completely different story. Crafted from the Albariño grape, this is a wine defined by its bracing, ocean-influenced energy and striking purity.
It is the ultimate pour for warm summer evenings and the undisputed champion of seafood. Here at Hic! we offer a range that captures that incredible Atlantic freshness, delivering mouth-watering citrus and subtle white peach notes that sing alongside fresh shellfish or a simple summer salad.
Whether you are grabbing a single bottle for a sunny afternoon or stocking the fridge for a weekend gathering, this is a lineup of dynamic, coastal whites that completely bypass the predictable.

PIEDMONT’S ARISTOCRATIC ANSWER
While the red giants of Barolo often hog the spotlight, the true authority of the Piedmont table is found in the limestone ridges of Gavi. This is a wine of startling clarity and focus. Crafted from the Cortese grape, it has a sophisticated, crisp backbone that outclasses the everyday and thrives during a long, relaxed dinner.
It is the definitive choice for those who want a bit more character from their white wine. Here at Hic! we offer a range that is bright, refreshing, and sharp enough to cut through a rich, creamy pasta or the freshest seafood.
Whether you are picking up a single bottle for a weekend lunch or building a mixed case for the cellar, this is a selection of Gavi that you won’t find on a standard supermarket shelf!
