Denbies Orange Solaris 2022 (6 Bottles) Dorking, Surrey, England

£129.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A white wine made in the way of a red. Vibrant, yet mature on the nose, this wine delivers a nostalgic note of pineapple juice and a nod of guava. The tropical theme continues on the palate with sumptuous flavours of pomegranate and graceful hint of lychee.

Les Vaublins Touraine Sauvignon Blanc (6 Bottles) Loire, France

£99.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Owned by the Deniau family, Domaine des Vaublins has been a family winery for several generations. Since 2020 the Domaine is in the hands of the current generation Nicolas and Alexandrine, and together with Cedric Allion they are making some excellent wines under his watchful eye. Their 16 hectares of vines are located on the clay and limestone hillsides on the banks of the river Cher.

This Sauvignon Blanc showcases itself behind a golden hue adorned with green undertones, displaying impeccable clarity and remarkable depth. Its bouquet exudes the essence of delicate citrus fruits, particularly grapefruit, accompanied by a discernible mineral character. With aeration, the wine unveils invigorating hints of freshly squeezed lemon entwined with the essence of white fruit, pear, and green apples. On the palate, the wine possesses a crispness that borders on a steely sharpness, bursting forth with vibrant flavours of gooseberry, peanut, and nettle, courtesy of its ageing on lees.

12% ABV. Vegan Friendly.

Biddenden Vineyards Ortega (6 Bottles) Biddenden, Kent, England

£103.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Semi-aromatic on the nose, displaying appealing fresh aromas of green apple, grapefruit, cut grass and flora, whilst the palate is medium bodied, crisp and deliciously fruity. May be served as an aperitif, this white would also pair well with lightly spicy dishes and seafood.

Ortega is our signature wine and was one of the first varieties planted in 1969. We have been producing our popular Biddenden Ortega since 1972, and have kept the original Germanic style label as a historical memento.

Biddenden was one of the first vineyards to plant Ortega in the UK in the late 1960’s. Today Ortega covers just over half of the vineyard. Ortega grapes ripen early and are known for their low acidity and high sugar levels. Ortega is widely used in dry still wines, and can also be used to make sweet wines.

Smith and Evans Natural Ferment White 2022 (6 Bottles) Langport, Somerset, England

£90.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

It’s back! Our White Wine is back home and available for sale. We’re very pleased with the wine, it’s still young and fresh but there’s also a depth of flavour and a nice rich spicy texture from the wild ferment. People have pre ordered and so we expect to be sold out by around Christmas time.
