Litmus Ginking Original Rosé (6 Bottles) Dorking, Surrey, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Ginking is a new concept that melds the botanical aromatics of Gin with the zesty nature of wine from England. Ginking provides fullness of refreshment for Gin and sparkling wine lovers in a delicious low alcohol pre-mixed beverage. Mixing the traditional with the modern in both packaging and style Ginking relates to young partygoers and traditional gin drinkers alike.
Beautiful pale salmon pink in colour, the Ginking Original Rosé combines the finest qualities of aromatic English Rosé and delicious London Dry Gin with a botanical make-up that includes rose petals and cardamom.
The nose has abundant herbal and fresh rose petal notes reminiscent of an English rose garden in spring. The palate is fresh, fruity, bright and zingy with great balance and length.
Sandridge Barton Sharpham Classic Cuvée Rosé 2021 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our new sparkling rosé is dry and easy-drinking with aromas of raspberry, strawberry and peach yoghurt, with some subtle bready characters from the 12 months maturing on the lees. The wine is full and rounded with red apple summer pudding flavours, lifted by a lively fizz and focused acidity.
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%
Melbury Vale Midnight (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England
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!
