Thaya Grüner Veltliner Selection 2022 (6 Bottles) Znojmo, Czech Republic

£143.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Nestled in the rain shadow of the Czech-Moravian Highlands, in the Znojmo sub-region of Moravia, sits Thaya. Winemaker Jakub Smrčka has been building the name for himself and for Thaya over these last few years. Having produced his first vintage in 2011, when he was only 20 years old, he came to Thaya passionate about the terroir of his homeland, his rule is simple yet bold: each vintage must be a little better than the previous one.

This Veltliner, crafted from granite bedrock, showcases a vibrant, greenish hue with golden highlights. The aroma is true to the variety, with prominent notes of citrus peel and white pepper. On the palate, the flavour mirrors the nose, balanced by a refreshing, juicy acidity. The wine has a long-lasting finish that invites continued enjoyment.

Sandridge Barton Don’t Feed the Ponies Tipley Hill 2021 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England

£120.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A more full-bodied style with lemon rind, elderflower, toasted pine and yoghurt aromas. The palate is rounded and full with soft oak tannin, more rich yellow fruits and a touch of oak spice. 100% whole-bunch-pressed Madeleine Angevine that was spontaneously fermented in stainless steel and then matured in both steel and old French oak for 9 months before being bottled with no filtration.

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.

£160.00
by Wines by Cellars

An English rarity that’s not to be missed, Balfour’s first ever Albariño release is a remarkable expression of the grape’s English potential. You’ll find a textbook zesty, citrus quality tempered by a slight saline minerality.

Described by noted wine writer, Henry Jefferies, as one of England’s “most important” wines, this new take on the Galician grape variety is not to be missed.

Three reasons to try;

1. Albariño is very much in vogue. It’s a superb alternative to fresh, fragrant styles of white wine – for those who love zesty Sauvignon Blanc, for instance.

2. Our first-ever release, this is a unique expression of the grape – and one of the only examples you’ll find in England. Taste a little bit of history.

3. Superb for summer; this is the perfect wine for the warmer months.

Winemaker’s Food Pairing: Fresh, fragrant and superb with seafood from our own shores – as a classic pairing. Or for those feeling a little more adventurous, this wine will pair will with the freshness of ceviche, and or the saltiness of feta. Alternatively, enjoy enjoy as an invigorating aperitif on a warm summer’s evening.
