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.

Tuffon Hall Bacchus 2022 (6 Bottles) Halstead, Essex, England

£100.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The delicate colour is a true hallmark of the variety. This wine is packed full of character, the appealing aroma goes way beyond the traditional elderflower and honeysuckle notes that are common to Bacchus.

This Bacchus, as with all our wines and gins is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

It's the perfect accompaniment for fresh or smoked seafood. Oysters, crab, prawns, scallops and fresh salmon all pair beautifully with our flint dry Bacchus. Try spring vegetable dishes such as English asparagus and broad beans – a perfect match and the grassy, fresh, nettle like herbaceous notes are a hit with creamy Goats cheese
