Blackbook “Nightjar” Pinot Noir 2021 (6 Bottles) Battersea, London, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
From a cool vintage on the south-facing Clayhill vineyard in Essex, this is a more ethereal approach for the Battersea-based urban winery's signature Pinot Noir. Freshly picked hawthorn berry, raspberry and a hint of cedar. A lightweight palate of juicy red berries seasoned with sweet herbs, well balanced and delicate with a soft tannic grip. An elegant, refined summer drink.
Albury Vermouth Bianco (6 Bottles) Guildford, Surrey, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
This off-dry vermouth has been hand crafted from distilled Sauvignon wine blended with Pinot Noir and a lovingly considered selection of botanicals.
Vibrant aromas of sweet orange, mint and kaffir lime leaf are complimented by bold black tea and sweet honeybush with a hint of bay leaf and toasted oak for added complexity. A delicious amalgamation of nutmeg, orange peel, lemon balm and just a hint of Tasmanian mountain pepper adds body and, as with any vermouth, wormwood provides a distinctive tongue-smacking bitterness.
Melbury Vale Exuberance (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our Exuberance English red wine comes from red grapes grown at a local vineyard Melbury Vale co-manages. This 2018 red blend comes from the “Harvest of a Lifetime” here in the UK, where the growing season stayed extraordinarily warm and sunny. The 2018 Exuberance is a blend of Triomphe d’Alsace [TDA] and Dornfelder grapes. TDA and Dornfelder are both cool climate grapes that that have dark skins and balanced fruit and acidity flavors. The grapes were co-fermented and half of the must was left to sit on the skins for over 12 months. This was the first time we tried this winemaking technique at Melbury Vale. One common note about English red wines is that they can lack body and tannin structure. The time half of the wine spent with the skins allowed for not only a deeper color, but a more rich texture and mouthfeel. We loved the balance of the wine being more full bodied (not often a term used to describe English red wine) but also the fresh fruitiness of the wine thanks to the amazing 2018 vintage. We bottled this wine unfiltered as we felt filtering it would omit the beautiful flavor and viscosity we are so excited about.
On the nose we get aromas of black cherry and dried herbs, with flavors of spiced plum, bramble, and a savory note to finish.
Food Pairings: barbecued meats, aged cheeses, and anything dark chocolate.

Shotley Vineyard Bacchus 2023 (6 Bottles) Ipswich, Suffolk, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
This single estate Bacchus is floral with notes of elderflower on the nose. It’s crisp on the palate with hints of gooseberry and lime. This wine pairs beautifully with chicken or seafood.
Bacchus is increasingly grown in England. The cooler climate in England means the grapes retain a higher acidity. Bacchus is sometimes called the ‘Sauvignon Blanc of the UK’.
Coddington Vineyard Ortega 2022 (6 Bottles) Ledbury, Herefordshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Ortega grapes ripen from the beginning of September – quite early for white grapes and therefore excellent in our rather damp Autumn climate.
It develops well in the bottle and produces wine of outstanding quality with a fine aroma reminiscent of peaches.
Not quite as dry as Bacchus, but not as sweet as Pinot.

Knightor Winery Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (6 Bottles) St Austell Bay, Cornwall, England
Free UK Delivery on Orders Over £60
Character: Rich and spicy
Aromas: Pepper, Dark Fruits, Spice
Flavours: Stewed Dark Fruits, Spice
Style: Grown in polytunnels, so more full bodied than a typical English red.
Food Pairing: Perfect with a Sunday Roast or other hearty meals.
Deep ruby in colour, with aromas of pepper, dark berries and spice. The palate is medium bodied with gentle tannins and a slight earthiness, flavours of stewed dark fruits and spices. The perfect wine for more full flavoured meat and mushroom based dishes.
Winemakers Notes: A cheats wine in many ways! In our climate we can not ripen either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon as they simply ripen too late, so the grapes for this are grown under cover. The blend is 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet, the grapes are fermented with daily pump overs to extract more colour, depth and body. Towards the end of the fermentation the grapes are pressed and transferred to a mixture of French oak barrels where they remain for over a year. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Wine: Still Red
Grape Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Body: Medium
Sweetness: Dry
Alcohol: 12%

Harrow & Hope Brut Reserve No. 8 (6 Bottles) Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our multi-vintage blend uses fruit from all varieties and areas of our single vineyard to produce a wine that displays the unique qualities of the whole site. Using reserve wines, aged in oak, that have been carefully built up and nurtured from our very first harvest, we can add layers of complexity and texture to each wine. Every numbered release has it’s own identity and make up, which we love to celebrate. No 8 is based on the wonderful Pinot year that is 2019. It was a cooler and longer ripening season than 2018 and gives this wine a more elegant and focussed structure. The pronounced Pinot character is already giving lovely toasty complexity which will continue to build over the next few years. Enjoy on release but will also reward further ageing.
