Jérémie Huchet Chapeau Melon Rouge 2024 (6 Bottles) Loire, France

£94.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Jérémie Huchet is a fourth-generation winemaker making his mark in Muscadet. Having taken over the family estate in 2001, Jérémie immediately went about purchasing some fantastic vineyards (which now total 64 hectares), and is slowly converting everything to organic viticulture. His white and red Chapeau wines are young wines meant for easy pleasure, while the clean, mineral L`Innatendu Muscadet is an excellent introduction to Jérémie`s vineyards and winemaking style.

The Chapeau Melon Rouge presents a light cherry colour with a nose of ripe red fruits. This dry red wine reveals a pleasant freshness with light tannins. The palate is gourmet, smooth and fruity.

12.5% ABV, Vegan Friendly.

Cielo Pinot Noir 2023 (6 Bottles) Delle Venezie, Italy

£89.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Cielo e Terra has dual roots in the Veneto region: the Cielo family and the winemakers of the Cantine dei Colli Berici. The Cielo family’s bond with the land dates back to 1908 in the Vicenza countryside, near the Castles of Romeo and Juliet, where the great-grandfather had bought Casa Defrà, a small farm with a vineyard. They enjoy making wines with passion and innovation to create signature versions of traditional Italian wines, looking for the right balance between personality and easy-drinking.

Dusty ruby colour. Earthy, minty, fruity aromas of mint, baking spice, meaty, and red fruit with a supple, vibrant, dry light body.

12.5% ABV. Vegan Friendly.

Biddenden Sparkling Ortega Demi Sec 2021 (6 Bottles) Biddenden, Kent, England

£175.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A Demi-Sec sparkling white floral to the nose, aromatic with sweet green apple undertones. Made by the traditional method with specifically selected grapes from some of the oldest vines in Kent.

Biddenden’s sandy-loam over clay soil and maritime climate, coupled with modern winemaking techniques, all help to produce this classic fruity Demi-Sec wine.

 

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.
