Heppington Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Canterbury, Kent, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Light and easy drinking white wine. Very fresh notes on nose and palate along with some delicate fruit.
A food-friendly drop to say the least, this Chardonnay will flourish in the company of shellfish. Take it on a trip to the beach (don’t forget the cooler bag) and use it to slurp down a few freshly shucked oysters. Or, for a simple yet luxurious supper with friends, serve it alongside a lobster linguine.
Champagne Gaston Chiquet Tradition Brut 1ér Cru NV (6 Bottles) Champagne, France
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Champagne Gaston Chiquet has been passed down through eight generations since 1746, when Nicolas Chiquet planted his first vines. It was brothers Fernand and Gaston who, in 1919, made the bold decision to keep their grapes and producer their own wine. Since 2003, this property has been in the very capable hands of brothers Antoine and Nicolas Chiquet. Together with Marion (Antoine’s daughter) they work 23 hectares of vineyards in Dizy, Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Hautvillers.
Golden yellow hue, fine mousse. Fresh nose of dried fruit (apricot) with a hint of citrus. Smooth palate (Meunier); fresh, balanced and fruity (fresh apricot, white peach, citrus); aromatic finish.
12.5% ABV.
Sugrue Rosé Ex Machina 2018 (6 Bottles) Haywards Heath, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Rosé Ex Machina isn't a wine we taste, rather, it's a wine we drink, consume, inhale – such is its opulence and indulgence. It looks, smells, tastes gorgeous. Nectar from the heavens; a wine from the sky.
Like Deus Ex Machina – an act of divine intervention in Greek tragedy that resolves the seemingly impossible on stage – Rosé Ex Machina was the result of our own much needed bolt from the blue in 2016: an initially difficult vintage saved by a glut of grapes from Jenkyn Place vineyard that were, quite literally, perfect.
Fortune struck again in 2018 – a year that wasn't just full of sunshine, but was relentlessly warm and bright from start to finish, without a puff of wind, and virtually no rain. That remarkable summer is evident at its core.
With four and a half years on lees, and another twelve months in bottle, the 2018 Rosé Ex Machina is serene and expansive. Blood orange one minute and wild raspberries the next; juicy and creamy, but with razor-sharp focus – it's tasting better than ever.

Henners Gardner Street Classic 2023 (6 Bottles) Herstmonceux, East Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Gardner Street has the classic floral, elderflower note we have come to know of contemporary Bacchus, married with a touch of ripe stone fruit from the barrel fermented Chardonnay.
Sourced from vineyard partners in Essex and Kent we harvested the vineyard parcels separately and fermented as small lots to allow the expression of their respective sites to shine through. 30% of the blend was fermented in neutral 300L French oak barrels and
allowed to go through malolactic fermentation, while the remaining parcels were fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel and did not go through malolactic fermentation.
Dropmore Ortega (6 Bottles) Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Soft rounded full dry white wine, aged in French oak barrels, produced from Ortega and Chardonnay grapes grown in Dropmore Vineyard. Delicate vanilla aromas with hints of butterscotch and honey, plenty of character. Good ageing potential.
Ortega is a lesser-known grape variety in the UK, but gaining in popularity among those who have ‘’discovered” it! Named after Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gaffet, Ortega is a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe grapes.
Llanerch Poplar (6 Bottles) Pontyclun, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Llanerch Estates Poplar blend is made from carefully selected grapes nestled between the poplar trees and the farm house. The poplar trees create a microclimate that produces a delicious off-dry white wine with great acidity and citrus notes.
An off-dry white wine balanced perfectly with plenty of citrus fruit flavours on the palate and a refreshing finish. Perfect on its own or enjoyed with seafood and light dishes.
Biddenden Bacchus (6 Bottles) Biddenden, Kent, England

A dry, white wine with a crisp finish. Named after the God of wine, Bacchus is one of England’s most interesting grape varieties for still wines. Its grapes have strong and distinctive aromatic flavour, with characteristics which develop well in the bottle over time. The ideal alternative to a Sauvignon Blanc.

50% Pinot Noir and 50% Pinot Meunier
12% Vol. Vegan Friendly
From the outstanding 2018 vintage, this wine showcases a medium crimson hue with brick-red highlights. The nose bursts with ripe red berry aromas, subtly enhanced by hints of vanilla. On the palate, it reveals an earthy richness and velvety smoothness, culminating in a long, lingering finish.
Ridgeview Oak Reserve (6 Bottles) Ditchling Common, East Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
The late-disgorged sibling to our original Oak Reserve. Extended lees ageing has mellowed and integrated the oak element, while enhancing complexity. A captivating wine, delivering both luxury and impeccable precision.
Small parcels of our home vineyard Chardonnay were carefully selected across three exceptional vintages and gently pressed in whole bunches. Predominantly barrel fermented in a combination of old and new, toasted
Burgundy and Loire oak barrels, a small selection of base wines also underwent malolactic conversion. Following secondary bottle fermentation in our naturally cool, underground cellars, our second-release Oak Reserve then spent 60 months on lees before disgorging, with six months on cork to complete its journey.
