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.

Nutbourne Nutty Blush Pinot Noir 2018 (6 Bottles) Pulborough, West Sussex, England

£250.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A fabulous Classic Method vintage sparkling rosé wine made from 100% Pinot Noir. From the wonderful hot Summer of 2018, this is a complex dry wine with balanced fruit, fine mousse and a delicious biscuity finish. A sensational limited edition, perfect for a very special celebration, it has the wonderful blush colour that the French describe as 'oeil de perdrix' - pink as a partridge eye!

Ideal as an aperitif, it also pairs well with oysters, smoked salmon, quail eggs and canapés.

The art: Just as Nutbourne wines are only made from grapes grown on the estate, every bottle features Bridget Gladwin’s paintings. This is an image of the vine in Winter.

Balfour Liberty’s Bacchus 2025 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England

£135.00
by Wines by Cellars

FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE

Crisp apple, intense grassy and elderflower nose and a splash of rose and citrus spice. Delicious, bright acidity balanced by a smoky depth. An intense, bright aftertaste.

“Bacchus, but not as you know it” is how our Head Winemaker, Fegus Elias, described his newest (and best) vintage of Liberty’s Bacchus.

Sugrue Dear Noodles Rosé 2023 (6 Bottles) Haywards Heath, West Sussex, England

£130.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Taking inspiration from the great rosé wines of Bandol, Rioja, and Corsica, Ana and I wanted to craft a dry English rosé that was deep in colour and character – the antithesis to the ubiquitous, industrially-made, and flavourless pale pink wines of a certain corner of France – but not lacking in refreshment.

So we blended barrels of perfectly ripe, gently macerated Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grown across all our vineyards during the incandescent 2023 vintage – a fabulous year for viticulture in the south of England.

Showing an elegant red berry character and beautifully supple texture, Dear Noodles crackles with energy and juicy acidity on its bone-dry finish.

Dear Noodles is a love letter in a bottle, with a label viewed from a different perspective... Or rather lack of label, as the colour and the flavour – as well as a few words from a stolen moment – tell you all you need to know.

Don't miss out: this is the wine of the summer.
