Blackbook “Nightjar” Pinot Noir 2021 (6 Bottles) Battersea, London, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
From a cool vintage on the south-facing Clayhill vineyard in Essex, this is a more ethereal approach for the Battersea-based urban winery's signature Pinot Noir. Freshly picked hawthorn berry, raspberry and a hint of cedar. A lightweight palate of juicy red berries seasoned with sweet herbs, well balanced and delicate with a soft tannic grip. An elegant, refined summer drink.
Knightor Winery Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (6 Bottles) St Austell Bay, Cornwall, England
Free UK Delivery on Orders Over £60
Character: Rich and spicy
Aromas: Pepper, Dark Fruits, Spice
Flavours: Stewed Dark Fruits, Spice
Style: Grown in polytunnels, so more full bodied than a typical English red.
Food Pairing: Perfect with a Sunday Roast or other hearty meals.
Deep ruby in colour, with aromas of pepper, dark berries and spice. The palate is medium bodied with gentle tannins and a slight earthiness, flavours of stewed dark fruits and spices. The perfect wine for more full flavoured meat and mushroom based dishes.
Winemakers Notes: A cheats wine in many ways! In our climate we can not ripen either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon as they simply ripen too late, so the grapes for this are grown under cover. The blend is 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet, the grapes are fermented with daily pump overs to extract more colour, depth and body. Towards the end of the fermentation the grapes are pressed and transferred to a mixture of French oak barrels where they remain for over a year. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Wine: Still Red
Grape Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Body: Medium
Sweetness: Dry
Alcohol: 12%
Chapel Down Discovery Series Pinot Noir Rosé 2020 (6 Bottles) Tenterden, Kent, England
UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED
Chapel Down Pinot Noir Rosé is a delicate wine with aromas of cranberry; citrus; and raspberry. The texture is light and almost weightless on the palate; with a long; fresh finish.
The light and delicate character of this wine will make it a natural partner with shellfish.
Our winemaking team are continually experimenting with different varieties and styles, releasing limited parcels under the ‘Discovery Series’ label. This collection of vibrant English wines celebrates the art of English winemaking.
This delicate rosé is our first 100% Pinot Noir rosé wine. The majority of our Pinot Noir fruit is reserved for our sparkling wines, however the exceptional vintage gave near perfect conditions from which to produce a stunning single varietal rosé expression.
Black Dog Hill Blanc de Blancs 2014 (6 Bottles) Ditchling, East Sussex, England

A beautiful, pale, shimmering gold, the 2014 Blanc de Blancs opens with aromas of freshly crushed ripe green apples, lemon zest, quince jelly and a gorgeous fresh ginger note.

Bone dry with and beautifully balanced. Superb length.
