£171.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

An exquisite and unique sparkling wine, crafted from 100% reichensteiner grapes.

A bright, fruit-driven palate with a persistent freshness of english orchard fruit and zesty citrus, which mellows to a silky honeycomb finish.

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.

Bluebell Ashdown Ortega 2020 (6 Bottles) Furners Green, East Sussex, England

£115.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Bold aromas of apricot and hazelnut lead to flavors of ripe peach, Mirabelle plum and baked apple on the palate. Four months of aging in old French oak barrels results in a complex wine with a rich mouthfeel and buttery finish which pairs beautifully with herby roast chicken or wild mushroom risotto.

Cape Mentelle Sixteen Hectares Cabernet Merlot (6 Bottles) Margaret River, Western Australia

£149.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Cape Mentelle journey is a true labour of love, born from humble beginnings in 1970 with just sixteen hectares of vines. Fast forward to today, and this iconic winery has carefully crafted each blend to showcase the unique characteristics of its terroir, resulting in wines that are both complex and approachable.

This stunning blend is a masterclass in harmony, with Cabernet Sauvignon taking centre stage and showcasing its signature dark fruits, bright cassis, and subtle hints of dried herbs.

The Merlot, meanwhile, brings a subtle yet luxurious touch, adding plush blue fruits and warmth to the mix. As the flavours meld together, the wine is beautifully supported by supple tannins and neatly integrated oak, creating a wonderful taste experience.

14.2% ABV & Vegan Friendly.
