Cielo Pinot Grigio 2024 (6 Bottles) Delle Venezie, Italy

£79.00
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.

This wine displays a light straw yellow colour, hinting at its bright and refreshing character. The nose is fresh and fruity, with delicate aromas of wildflowers and fresh fruit that create an inviting bouquet. On the palate, it offers a crisp and well-balanced profile, marked by a subtle touch of minerality. The fruit-forward notes continue through to a persistent finish, accompanied by a gentle aromatic return that adds elegance.

11% ABV. Vegan Friendly.

Melbury Vale Dusk (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England

£117.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This aromatised wine is our Dorset answer to “blush” wine or dessert in a glass! The rosé base wine is Dorset grown Regent grapes. We bump up the ABV of these wines by fortifying with a small amount of our wine based distilled spirit. We then blend with all natural extracts and pure sugar cane. Because of the slight fortification of this wine, it has a longer shelf life once opened. We recommend a bottle of our aromatised wine can stay open in the fridge for up to 2 weeks – but we don’t expect it to last that long! This amazingly flavorful, slightly sweetened wine is best served chilled, but can be enjoyed just under room temp as well. You can serve it in a pitcher with ice and garnish with fruit, or pour into a glass over ice and top with something fizzy. It’s so fruity, yet complex, it will pair with a surprising amount of savory and spicy foods!

Henners Vintage 2018 (6 Bottles) Herstmonceux, East Sussex, England

£282.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Vintage is crafted only in exceptional years, such as 2018, when we believe the concentration, ripeness and maturity of fruit will deliver an exceptional wine for extended ageing. Blended from 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, the Chardonnay delivers excellent structure and vibrancy, while the Pinot Noir brings body and depth to deliver great roundness on the palate.

Our Vintage spends a minimum of 36 months on lees before release creating deliciously biscuity, creamy, honey aromas with deliciously poised acidity and a hint of salinity.

£120.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A rich, powerful blend of Merlot & Cabinet Sauvignon. Ripe black cherry and spice with hints of dark chocolate. Full-bodied with a satisfying finish.
