Amber Valley Millstone Solaris 2023 (6 Bottles) Wessington, Derbyshire, England

, ,
£107.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This delightful single-varietal Solaris showcases the elegance of English winemaking. On the nose, it offers a vibrant bouquet of elderflower, freshly cut grass, and exotic lychee. The palate follows with juicy pineapple and lychee flavors, supported by a long, lingering finish that reveals subtle hints of hazelnut. A backbone of fresh, zesty acidity ensures perfect balance, making this wine both refreshing and expressive.

Comparable to a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in its crisp and clean style, this wine retains its distinct English charm, brimming with hedgerow floral notes. Approachable yet versatile, it is as enjoyable on its own as it is paired with food—a truly stunning choice for any occasion.

Smith and Evans LD 2010 (6 Bottles) Langport, Somerset, England

£270.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our first vintage in 2010 feels like yesterday and like a different world altogether. The nerves and anxiety of years of work and planning all coming down to a single day. Thirty or so virtual strangers turned up to pick coralled by our friend Celia Kozlowski. Little did we know that some of them would still be harvesting with us to this day!

We sold the vast majority of the wine years ago but we kept a few bottles on lees for 13 years. We always keep a some in the cellars for family occasions and have decided to put 50 out into the world for people that are interested in seeeing how this gem has developed. The LD stands for Late Disgorged - doing it this way preserves the freshness of the wine and indeed, these bottles are remarkable. They resemble a blanc de blancs in terms of its taste profile which is fresh and full of minerality with distinctive grapefruit citrus aromas that I can't say that we remember from it's first incarnation. It's a beautiful delicate wine that is testament to the quality of those young vines at Higher Plot.

Biddenden Schönburger (6 Bottles) Biddenden, Kent, England

£109.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Biddenden's sandy loam over clay soil coupled with modern winemaking techniques, all help to produce this exclusive, single varietal sweet fruity wine.

Light blush in color, this sweet wine is made with late harvest grapes which have been left on the vine to develop higher natural sugars. Flavors of honey, lychee and elderflower adorn this lusciously rich white wine. Schönburger grapes grow particularly well in the UK, because of our maritime climate.

The grapes are pale and plum colored, and have a very high sugar content. With good acidity they produce a very fruity full flavored wine.

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

,
£141.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A rich and oxidative wine made with 60% skin contact and barrel matured Pinot Gris and 40% Madeleine Angevine matured in stainless steel. After one year the wines were blended where they matured for a further 24 months in old French oak barrels with some under a flor. The resulting wine has baked apple, bruised apricot and nutty characteristics with good weight, balance and grip.

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.
