Gnarly Head Pinot Noir 2022 (6 Bottles) Lodi, USA

£149.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Gnarly Head story started with the old and gnarly head-trained vines of Zinfandel in the Lodi, which are among the oldest in California.  The Gnarly Head team has since expanded the range to include many other wines, all sourced from some of the best vineyards in California. All the wines are marked by the signature Gnarly house style which is big, juicy and deliciously drinkable.

This Pinot Noir offers enticing aromas of black cherry, plum jam, roasted coffee beans, and spice. On the palate, a rich blend of raspberry, red currant, and ripe plum is complemented by subtle vanilla notes. Silky tannins and bright fruit create a harmonious profile, making this wine a perfect match for mushrooms or grilled meats.

13.5% ABV.

Greyfriars Vineyard SB (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England

£120.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

This third release of our “SB” is a refreshing sparkling wine with deliciously English Sauvignon Blanc aromas of nettle, gooseberry & grass, heightened by flavours on the palate that deliver a savoury note. Soft and dry with a lovely sparkle, the wine is bright and fresh with hints of soft greengage and tomato leaf.

This wine works incredibly well on its own as an aperitif but it will also pair beautifully with pan- fried Dover sole with lemon and caper butter or grilled chicken breast with lemon and thyme, fresh seafood starters, and mild creamy cheeses.

Polgoon Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (6 Bottles) Penzance, Cornwall, England

£125.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Sauvignon Blanc has its own Characteristics. It is different to a French or New Zealand; it can only be described as wonderfully Cornish. On the nose this wine is lively with notes of lime, passion fruit and pineapple. On the palate it’s crunchy fresh, green apple and tropical fruits with a distinctly Cornish minerality provided by the granite-based soil at Polgoon.

Aromas: Delicate. Lemon, Lime, Nectarine

Palate: Dry, High Acidity, Lemon, Lychee, Pineapple, White Pepper Finish

Welcombe Hills a Rosé by any other name 2023 (6 Bottles) Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England

£97.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Nose: Aromas burst forth with a delightful mix of red fruits. Melon, subtle peach, orange peel and raspberry, followed by delicate floral notes of rose petals.

Palate: The initial impression is delightfully fresh and dry, with a crisp acidity that balances the juicy fruit flavours. Blood orange fruit, raspberry with a lingering zesty finish.

Overall: This English rosé is a vibrant and refreshing expression of the region’s terroir. The deep pink colour hints at a fuller body, but the dry finish and crisp acidity make it perfect for enjoying on a warm summer day or paired with barbeque foods.
