Sandridge Barton Sharpham Estate Selection 2022 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England

£117.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Estate Selection is a delicate and pure expression of our Madeleine Angevine, showing English meadow, lemon zest and floral characteristics. A touch of salinity from some time on lees, but essentially a clean, dry and lifted wine.

Blackbook “Nightjar” Pinot Noir 2021 (6 Bottles) Battersea, London, England

£135.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

From a cool vintage on the south-facing Clayhill vineyard in Essex, this is a more ethereal approach for the Battersea-based urban winery's signature Pinot Noir. Freshly picked hawthorn berry, raspberry and a hint of cedar. A lightweight palate of juicy red berries seasoned with sweet herbs, well balanced and delicate with a soft tannic grip. An elegant, refined summer drink.

Château du Cèdre Marcel Malbec 2023 (6 Bottles) South West, France

£87.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Verhaeghe family have been making wine in the Lot since the 1950s. Today it is Pascal and Jean-Marc in charge of the domaine, which is certified organic. They own three parcels of vineyards, the largest of which is 12.5 acres with stony calcareous clay which is called `Tran`, which plays an important role retaining heat and moisture. Drawing on his winemaking experience from California to Burgundy.

A deep, dark red hue sets the stage for a wine with an intense yet elegant blackcurrant, plum and cedar aromas. On the palate, it is wonderfully smooth and round, delivering vibrant dark fruit flavours with exceptional intensity combining with spice and oak.

12.5% ABV, Vegan Friendly.
