Tuffon Hall Grape Gin 2018 (6 Bottles) Halstead, Essex, England

, ,
£210.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Tuffon Hall Grape Gin is made using the skins from our hand-picked Bacchus grapes. After we’ve pressed the grapes to make our Bacchus wine, we use the skins to make our grape gin.

The gin is infused with juniper berries, coriander seeds, fresh orange zest without pith, fresh minneola tangelo (a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit), fresh torn bay leaves, some freshly grated lemon zest, and crucially our bacchus grape skins. They are steeped and distilled together in a small batch 200L copper pot gin still.

Serving suggestion: Serve with your favourite tonic, freshly sliced grapes and a slice of lime to give a truly refreshing yet dry finish.

Our Grape Gin, as with all our wines and gins is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Melbury Vale Sparkling Wine Decadence (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England

, ,
£180.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A single vineyard blend of Seyval Blanc and Pinot Noir. On site at Melbury Vale Vineyard we have one block of established Seyval Blanc vines and one block of established Pinot Noir vines. While Pinot Noir is traditionally used in sparkling wine, Seyval Blanc has become a go-to English preference for sparkling production. Pinot Noir and Seyval Blanc at Melbury Vale ripen about the same time and are checked for sugar levels that are ideal for sparkling. This wine is a pale coral pink color with fine bubbles typical of a high quality English sparkling wine. On the nose there are aromas of fresh summer berries and meadow flowers, and on the palate there are bright notes of ripe strawberry, watermelon, and lime zest.

Food Pairings: Dorset shellfish dishes, smokey pulled pork, and with cake after tea.

This, combined with extended ageing during secondary fermentation, results in a sparkling wine of remarkable balance and sophistication. With vibrant citrus notes, creamy textures, and a lingering finish, it is a true celebration of Dorset's unique winemaking potential.
