Winding Wood Brut Rosé 2020 (6 Bottles) Hungerford, Berkshire, England

£237.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is our second release of sparkling rosé. Pressed, fermented, and bottled at Offbeat Wines by Daniel Ham, our winemaker. The grapes were hand-harvested and a whole bunch pressed. The wine underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle and then spent 18 months on its yeast lees and a further 6 months ‘on cork’. Released June 2023. This is a 100% pinot-based rosé — a departure from our first which contained a blend of chardonnay and pinot.

Frome Valley Bacchus 2022 (6 Bottles) Bishops Frome, Herefordshire, England

£95.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is a classic English wine: light, dry with elderflower notes. Like the Greek god, it loves a good time. It is full bodied, has a full bouquet and is ideal with poultry, salads and all vegetable dishes.

Artelium Artefact #8 Skinny Gris (6 Bottles) Streat, East Sussex, England

£195.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A characterful dry orange rosé with bright, mouth-watering acidity and crunchy tannins. The palate is intense and juicy, with flavours of pink rose petals, mixed red berries with woody undertones from barrel ageing. An energetic wine with some tension that will loosen with age.

The Baron Gilvan collaborated with us on label designs for Artefacts #7, #8, & #9. His oil-stick on paper drawings were inspired by each wine’s names, qualities, and colours, the resulting artworks depicting a jazz band of curious characters indulging in a make-believe underground cabaret. The direction of the labels naturally formed itself through initial drawings. The idea of the ‘wild ferment’ informed the animal-human hybrids whilst the variety ‘Cabaret Noir’ inspired the inclusion of instruments and cabaret characters. The paint colours were inspired by the colours of each wine; deep burgundy for ‘Cabaret Noir’, zesty orange for ‘Skinny Gris’, and blanched green for ‘Motley Wild.
