Albourne Estate Bacchus 2022 (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
English-grown Bacchus grapes produce aromatic, fresh and crisp wines similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc but with their own distinctive aroma profile.
As is typical of the varietal, our 2022 Bacchus is pale, with a crisp light mouth feel and recogniseable aromatic complexity.
The diversity of aromas can range from herbaceous (tomato leaf, basil, sage, nettle, asparagus, grassy) to citrus (lime zest, lemon, grapefruit) to tropical fruit (medlar, mango, passionfruit) to floral (elderflower, honeysuckle) with the intensity ranging from punchy and intense to more subtle and elegant.
Our style of Bacchus aims for intriguing aromatic complexity and subtle elegance which we believe the 2022 delivers in abundance.
More about the Bacchus grape
The variety originated in Germany in the 1930’s as a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Silvaner x Riesling which has helped contribute to its complex nature. In order to enhance this complexity and build ‘terroir-character’ into our wines we blend multiple unique batches picked on different dates, split into different press fractions and fermented with different yeasts.
Food Match Suggestions: The crisp acidity and freshness makes Bacchus perfect as an appetising aperitif wine. It also pairs beautifully with English asparagus or goats cheese as well as seafood such as dressed shellfish or stronger flavoured salads such as Caesar or rocket.
Yotes Court ‘Benie des Dieux’ Blanc de Blancs 2020 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Elegant, Traditional Method sparkling wine. Flaky Danish pastry on the nose with ripe orchard fruits and glazed apricot tart on the palate.
This elegant Traditional Method sparkling wine has seen nearly 3 years of lees ageing and careful use of batonage, developing aromas of flaky Danish pastry. The palate is full bodied with notes of ripe orchard fruits, glazed apricot tart and hints of summer herbs on the finish.
Food Pairing:
A chilled glass of Blanc de Blancs is traditionally enjoyed as an aperitif. However, its fresh acidity pairs well with light foods such as oysters, white fish and summer salads at a garden party.
Greyfriars Vineyard Blanc de Blancs 2015 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England
UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED
The wine is dry yet the aromas remind us of baked apples and lemon peel, it’s a beautiful wine to drink with food and it will naturally match most fish dishes, and especially those prepared with a creamy sauce or with a hint of spice.
Tasting Notes featured in Decanter Magazine:: (November 2023) "A richly textured blanc de blancs from the North Downs, five years on lees. Yeasty mango, pineapple and banana peel on the nose. More rounded yellow fruits on the palate, seasoned with sweet spices and a touch of tannin. The creamy weight is offset by still-vivid freshness. Toasty almonds to finish."
WineGB Tasting Notes: "Deep colour, powerful nose with presence - cashew brioche and fig. A big, dense, textural wine with weight allied to power. Finishes long and fine with toasted nuts, candied lemon and spice."
The sixth release, our 2015 Blanc de Blancs is a standout wine that we are incredibly proud of. Awarded an impressive 93 points by Decanter Magazine, it featured in their November 2023 issue as one of the "Best English Wines to Try This Christmas". This wine is a true testament to our dedication to crafting exceptional English wines and makes a great gift for any wine lover.
The grapes were crushed and destemmed before fermenting. Part of the wine was fermented and aged in used oak barrels with the remainder in stainless steel tanks. Both batches went through malolactic fermentation. It was bottled for secondary fermentation in July 2016 and has matured on lees for 6 years.

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

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.

Greyfriars Vineyard Blanc de Noirs 2016 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England
UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED
The wine showcases a delightfully delicate golden hue, bursting with aromas and flavours of honeyed red apples. Subtle hints of crisp red berries such as cranberry and redcurrant add freshness and vibrancy to the overall profile. A touch of butter and brioche emerges on the palate, giving the wine a delicately creamy finesse on the finish.
We recommend this as an aperitif or a celebration wine but the outstanding balance of the wine will also be a treat with lighter roasted meats such as pheasant or duck, soft cheeses and truffle based dishes.
