Artelium Artefact #8 Skinny Gris (6 Bottles) Streat, East Sussex, England

£195.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A characterful dry orange rosé with bright, mouth-watering acidity and crunchy tannins. The palate is intense and juicy, with flavours of pink rose petals, mixed red berries with woody undertones from barrel ageing. An energetic wine with some tension that will loosen with age.

The Baron Gilvan collaborated with us on label designs for Artefacts #7, #8, & #9. His oil-stick on paper drawings were inspired by each wine’s names, qualities, and colours, the resulting artworks depicting a jazz band of curious characters indulging in a make-believe underground cabaret. The direction of the labels naturally formed itself through initial drawings. The idea of the ‘wild ferment’ informed the animal-human hybrids whilst the variety ‘Cabaret Noir’ inspired the inclusion of instruments and cabaret characters. The paint colours were inspired by the colours of each wine; deep burgundy for ‘Cabaret Noir’, zesty orange for ‘Skinny Gris’, and blanched green for ‘Motley Wild.

Denbies Orange Solaris 2022 (6 Bottles) Dorking, Surrey, England

£129.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A white wine made in the way of a red. Vibrant, yet mature on the nose, this wine delivers a nostalgic note of pineapple juice and a nod of guava. The tropical theme continues on the palate with sumptuous flavours of pomegranate and graceful hint of lychee.

Westwell Chardonnay 2023 (6 Bottles) Westwell, Kent, England

£123.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Westwell Village is a new range of still wines from Westwell made for simple drinkability.

A bright, crisp Chardonnay full of ripe citrus vibrancy with a touch of stone fruit. Easy to drink with just about anything.

Picked in October 2023, the grapes are a blend from two blocks; one is clone 121 from our younger 2019 vines and one clone 95 planted back in 2009. The juice was pressed and settled before fermentation at cool temperatures in stainless steel with added yeast.
