Yotes Court ‘On the Nod’ Bacchus 2021 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England

£102.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This wine is fresh and aromatic, it has aromas of gooseberry, cassis bud and green pineapple on the nose, followed by a zesty palate of pithy pink grapefruit. A classic English Bacchus.

Bacchus grape is a cross between Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner-Riesling and tastes quite like a Sauvignon Blanc.

A race won ‘on the nod’ is thrilling to watch and is so close it is often decided by a photo of the finish. A perfect name for our Bacchus with its crisps, citrus finish. This Bacchus is particularly suited to spring vegetables like asparagus, peas and broad beans, goats cheese, salads without heavy dressings, shellfish and poached or grilled salmon.

Il Folle Nero d’Avola 2024 (6 Bottles) Sicily, Italy

£89.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

‘Il Folle’ in Italian means the mad one, a wild and gregarious joker. These wines embody the best of the Sicilian landscape and warm southern character, resulting in wines brim-full of freshness and flavour. All of these wines are certified organic and represent stunning value for money.

Brimming with the warmth and richness of southern Sicily, this full-bodied red is a bold yet elegant expression of the island’s character. Deep, inviting aromas of cassis, and a touch of vanilla rise from the glass, layered with subtle hints of wood smoke. The palate is generous and fruit-driven, unfolding into dark cherries and ripe berries, with a long, velvety finish.

12.5% ABV. Organic. Vegan Friendly.

Tuffon Hall Grape Gin 2018 (6 Bottles) Halstead, Essex, England

£210.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Tuffon Hall Grape Gin is made using the skins from our hand-picked Bacchus grapes. After we’ve pressed the grapes to make our Bacchus wine, we use the skins to make our grape gin.

The gin is infused with juniper berries, coriander seeds, fresh orange zest without pith, fresh minneola tangelo (a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit), fresh torn bay leaves, some freshly grated lemon zest, and crucially our bacchus grape skins. They are steeped and distilled together in a small batch 200L copper pot gin still.

Serving suggestion: Serve with your favourite tonic, freshly sliced grapes and a slice of lime to give a truly refreshing yet dry finish.

Our Grape Gin, as with all our wines and gins is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

La Cantina Pizzolato Pinot Nero DOC Venezia 2023 (6 Bottles) Veneto, Italy

£99.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Settimo Pizzolato is the fifth generation of grower at the estate, a man full of charisma and innovative wisdom. The vines at the Pizzolato estate are on pebbly banks of river deposit, which are irrigated by concrete channels that were put in in the 1950s during Italy’s reconstruction post-war.  The wines always deliver simple, fresh flavours and they always deliver consistent results, whether you are enjoying them in New York, Tokyo or Seattle.

Pale ruby red colour with a slight garnet hue. Aroma reminiscent of berries, blackberry, plum jam with notes of licorice. In the mouth the wine is delicate, fruity and typically acidulous. Its light tannin gives it a full and pleasantly long taste.

12.5% ABV. Organic. Vegan Friendly.
