Nutbourne Pinot Noir 2020 (6 Bottles) Pulborough, West Sussex, England

£123.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A limited edition still wine made from 100% Pinot Noir. This is a youthful and fruity red, with ample black cherry and plum, rounded out with some gentle spice. A portion of this wine was aged in French oak for six months to add depth to the lighter Burgundy style.

Perfect for your Sunday roast and festive celebrations, it pairs beautifully with rosemary roasted lamb, or venison with cranberries.

The art: Just as Nutbourne wines are only made from grapes grown on the estate, every bottle features Bridget Gladwin’s paintings. This triptych depicts a series of autobiographical still lives, featuring objects of personal history – be they sentimental, meaningful or frivolous.

Sandridge Barton Don’t Feed the Ponies Foxworthy 2021 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England

£96.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This delicate drink is perfect for sunny afternoon sipping. Made with wild estate Elderflower, lemon and oranges and in the traditional method, it is matured on the lees for 10 months. It is crisp, fresh and very floral and is the perfect picnic accompaniment.

This wine is part of our new Don't Feed The Ponies range of more experimental wines, a reference to a campaign on Dartmoor National Park to discourage visitors from feeding the wild horses that roam there. The source of the River Dart begins way up in the heart of the moors, and it's the river that influences how our grapes grow. For every bottle purchased from this range, we'll donate 25p to the Dartmoor Preservation Association to preserve the natural habitat.

£148.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This refined red wine is made from Cabaret Noir, Divico and Rondo grapes grown at Vale Vineyard in 2022.

Aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant introduce a fruit driven and well-rounded body with soft tannins and a palate of ripe berries and forest fruits, giving way to a smooth, generous finish.

Forty Hall Vineyard 2019 London Sparkling Brut (6 Bottles) Enfield, London, England

£223.00
by Wines by Cellars

SHIPPING INCLUDED TO UNITED KINGDOM MAINLAND

A golden hue reveals expressive aromas and defined flavours of citrus testiness, ripe orchard apples and Comice pears with a touch of fruit salad. Two years lees ageing lends further pastry and brioche notes to the mid palate. A delicious, elegant vintage with a rich softness and lingering finish.
