Honest Grapes

Honest Grapes invites you to 67 Pall Mall for their annual Icons Releases - Beyond Bordeaux tasting 2026.
The campaign we refer to simply as “Icons” is based around wines offered by Bordeaux-based negotiants in September and early October, but also includes other Autumn releases direct from iconic estates. Originally focussed on Napa estates it broadened out to include Tuscany and the Americas more generally, with wines often based on Bordeaux varieties – which would make sense given the negociants' experience and networks.
However as more wines are added each year the offering becomes more complex – with an increasingly diverse array of styles and producers from as far afield as Jerez, Hungary, Barolo, Bandol, Austria and Etna joining the ranks.  Despite the diversity of wines on offer, like the year's other main campaigns, it continues to focus on offering only the most exciting and best value releases.

About Mastrojanni Situated in the south-eastern corner of Montalcino, near the historic village of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Mastrojanni has long been regarded as one of Brunello's great estates. Tucked away at the end of a quiet dirt road, the winery has built its reputation on a resolutely traditional approach, producing wines that express the character of their surroundings with purity, elegance and remarkable longevity.
Following its acquisition by the Illy family, Mastrojanni has continued to build on its reputation as one of Tuscany's most respected producers. The estate's vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by the nearby Orcia River and Mount Amiata, creating ideal conditions for Sangiovese to thrive, producing wines with a beautiful balance of structure, freshness and complexity.

Join Honest Grapes for a special evening celebrating one of Italy's most revered estates, as they welcome Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga for a night dedicated to the remarkable wines of Tenuta San Leonardo.
