Melbury Vale Midnight (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England

£117.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This aromatised wine is our Dorset answer to “port” style wines and is a favorite of ours on a chilly evening! The rosé base wine is Dorset grown TDA and Dornfelder grapes. We bump up the ABV of these wines by fortifying with a small amount of our wine based distilled spirit. We then blend with all natural extracts and pure sugar cane. Because of the slight fortification of this wine, it has a longer shelf life once opened. We recommend a bottle of our aromatised wine can stay open in the fridge for up to 2 weeks – but we don’t expect it to last that long! This amazingly rich, slightly sweetened wine is best served at room temp, curled up under a big blanket by a fire. It’s so delicious it will become your go-to winter warmer!

Looe Valley Bacchus (6 Bottles) St.Keyne, Cornwall, England

£118.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Bacchus grape, a cross between Sylvaner and Riesling, is a variety extensively cultivated across the UK, thriving in its cooler climate. Known for producing exceptional white wines, Bacchus is celebrated for its fresh and aromatic character.

This elegant grape yields wines with a delicate elderflower aroma, evoking the essence of an English summer. On the palate, Bacchus delights with crisp green apple flavours, complemented by subtle hints of grapefruit that add a refreshing citrus twist. Its vibrant acidity and light, fruity profile make Bacchus an ideal choice for pairing with seafood, light salads, or enjoying on its own.
