Vanessa has just 3ha of red grapes. As far as we can ascertain they are the only red grapes in the appellation. The vines are around 35 years old and this particular cépage is made up of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon mainly grown on Schist. Ageing is in Concrete vat.

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc, showing very ripe red fruit with some firm structure. Already drinking beautifully (and will for some time yet); and as ever a very superior Bordeaux Rouge - winner of a Gilbert & Gaillard gold medal 2018. We sold pallets and pallets of the 2016 vintage, but arguably the 2016 is even better: The cooler nights of 2018 brought a little more finesse to the reds - a trait that we much admire in Bordeaux. Drink now till 2026.

Gadet-Terrefort is a new Chateau on our radar. It is found in the northern Medoc, north of Lesparre, where some of Bordeaux's most incredible Cabernet-based bargains await discovery. The wine is structured and rich, with all the typicity we seek in wines from this area and elsewhere: brambles, cassis, earth, forest floor, and cedar. Exceptional value. Organic too!

2016 was a hit and miss year in Bordeaux, but Chateau Guillot Clauzet really hit the spot with careful management and selection to create this succulent and opulent Pomerol. Ripe and plummy, overlaid with smokey leather and forest-floor aromas, this elegant wine has matured beautifully. No need to wait - this is ready to enjoy now - but will continue to develop game and spice notes over the coming years with proper storage. Try alongside venison, pheasant, or strong cheeses. Delicious.

    This wine is a true reflection of its terroir, where gravelly soils meet the influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines thrive, producing grapes of remarkable depth and complexity. This classic Cru Bourgeois is a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon selected from the best grapes and oldest vines on the property. Aged for 12-18 months in oak, it is generously fruited with good structure, supple tannins, and a well-balanced finish.

35 year old Merlot vines plus a permanent grass cover and green harvesting keep yields low and the wine concentrated and ripe. 85% of the wine is matured in concrete vats and 15% in barrel for at least three years.

A ripe and pure nose, offering creamy black fruit and dark roast coffee. Tannins are firm but ripe and beautifully pure and linear, and the palate is concentrated and already well-knit, if still a little youthful. Packed with intense black, mulberry-flavoured fruit, the ripeness makes this very drinkable now and it will continue to develop more complexity over the next 5 years.

Classic Medoc from a family enterprise situated just north of Saint-Estèphe, achieving Cru Bourgeois status in 1993. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a touch of Cabernet franc and Malbec, this lovely Bordeaux blend strikes the perfect balance; fresh blackcurrant, berries and plum, with a leafiness and perfume that brings brightness to the palate. Medium body and tannin, with a notes of cedar and spice giving depth and leading to a long and moreish finish. An easy food pair to meats, cheeses and flavourful vegetable dishes. Concentrated but with a refreshing lightness on the palate.

Ciacci make wines across the Montalcino region of Tuscany. This Rosso wine is comprised of 85% Sangiovese blended with 15% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah planted to vineyards located at 240-360 meters above sea level, where galestro soils dominate. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in cement vats. Sour cherry, spices and violets dominate, underpinned by subtle herbaceous notes and good grip from fully ripe tannins. An authentic Tuscan wine of superior quality. 

A perfect blend of 4 grapes. The black fruit spiciness of Syrah, deep perfume from Petit Verdot,  plummy juiciness from Merlot, and deep power of Cabernet Franc. The palate begins fresh and fruity, evolving into riper flavours and rich black fruit notes, with elegant tannins and a fine, bright finish. Some whole bunch inclusion brings a brightness that lifts the wine. Moreish acidity and food-friendly tannic structure make this wine an epicure’s delight. Orgonic and Biodynamic.

The Producer; Circle of Life Red is neither defined by grape varietals, nor indeed a specific block within the vineyard, but instead encapsulates the myriad soils, aspects, altitudes and grape varieties found on this windswept, biodynamic farm. Grapes are hand-harvested and brought to the cellar by horses for hand-sorting. Bordeaux varietals are de-stemmed, whilst Rhone varietals are not de-stemmed. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with wild yeast in large, open-top wooden fermenters with foot-pressing or manual punch-downs, ageing for 20 months in the same vessels. The components are then blended and the wine ages further in large wooden foudre. No fining, just a light filtration. No additions other than sulphur. Vegan friendly, biodynamic wine.

A premium gin, Citadelle was originally developed in a Dunkirk distillery in the late 18th Century, and at the time Dunkirk was one of the earliest European ports for explorers of the Orient, who brought back herbs and spices from the Far East. The result is a fabulous gin made with 19 different botanicals including Moroccan Coriander, French Juniper, Mexican Orange Peel and Chinese Liquorice.

6 Classic Cocktail Cans

Legendary wine from a legendary estate, this really is the stuff of legends! Since the Judgement of Paris, Clos du Val have been setting the standard for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is bold, plush, rich and ripely fruited, and just hugs you like a bear. When Bordeaux becomes a little blasé, you go to Napa for some blue-sky thinking. You can literally taste those long, sunny California days when you drink a wine like this. Decant before serving. Often better the next day, if you have any left…

A classic Marlborough Sauvignon blanc, showing great vibrancy and a full aromatic profile. Bursting with gooseberry, passion fruit and elderflower, amongst fresh cut grass and lime. Bright and refreshing on the palate, with a mouthwatering finish that leaves you reaching for more!

Produced by the Giulio Cocchi Spumanti company, this is a classic vermouth which was first produced in 1891. It is based on a recipe with Moscato wine, sourced from Asti, near Turin.

A 'triple-sec' liqueur made from Oranges with an absolutely delicious flavour. An essential ingredient in the Margarita cocktail, but very good on its own or over ice. 70cl

A Nebbiolo rosé! A rarity indeed. This wine is absolutely perfect with BBQed red meats. It has a little more structure and tannins than your more usual pink wines and as such works really well with grilled steaks and lamb. I can really recommend this wine.

Coterie – a small group with shared tastes or interests - and a group we enjoy being part of with wines of this quality! Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region. These cuvees are selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg.

Quite a grown-up wine, this is a textural, gently muscular expression of Cabernet Franc with Malbec. A Loire-inspired combination that was new in this South African model, but certainly a wonderful discovery. One wonders why it isn't being done elsewhere, but perhaps this special terroir plays as much a part. Rich, deep, and plummy from the Malbec, with fresh, herbaceous character supplied by the Cab Franc. Barrel fermented for 20 months. Great with grilled meats, especially lamb and spiced meat dishes.

What a stunnnig combination, and a stunning wine! Chenin and Grenache Blanc really complement each other here. Both varietals love the Coastal Region’s arid soils and Mediterranean climate due to their inherent tolerance to drought. Both components were naturally fermented in 600 litre French oak barrels. The Chenin blanc comes from an old, low-yielding Franschhoek vineyard planted in 1962. This brings freshness and tightness to the blend, the old vines also bring Wildeberg’s hallmark texture. The Grenache Blanc is from vibrant, younger plantings Paarl, adding body and structure with this cultivars naturally exotic notes of jasmine and white spice. gentle oak influence - 65% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill barrels - simply to allow a little oxygen to soften and broaden this wine. A nose of warm sand and crushed rocks, there climbs a note of jasmine flowers, following through onto the palate with a breadth of texture and generosity from the old bush vine Chenin, veiled with white spice and exotic notes from the younger, alluring Grenache Blanc, the whole ultimately finishing rich, yet fresh and textural. This would be great with Pad Thai, dishes using fresh herbs and dairy or a chicken ceaser. Incredible value here.

GRENACHE NOIR 70%, CINSAULT 30% The grapes are sourced from vineyards cultivated near to Lake Thau, set in a formerly volcanic region just inland from the sea. This has a particular micro-climate – as the proximity of the water has a moderating affect on the typically Mediterranean temperatures, allowing optimal ripening whilst retaining fresh acidity. The grapes are harvested in the early morning, then the wine is vinified as a classic rosé de presse, with soft pressing and cold fermentation.

Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky is the first whisky ever distilled in the Cotswolds. Made using 100% locally grown, floor-malted barley and mature the whisky in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels and reconditioned red wine casks. Rich, fruity and sippable with notes of honey, Seville orange marmalade and dark red fruits.

Non-chill filtered. Natural colouring. 

All bottles come with a presentation box.

Distilled with nine botanicals, Cotswolds Dry Gin is a London Dry with an aromatic twist. Juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, local lavender, bay leaf, hand-peeled fresh lime and pink grapefruit zest, cardamom and black peppercorn are distilled in a copper pot still, resulting in a rich and robust, award-winning gin.

Cotswolds Distillery does not remove the essential oils in their gin as these create a rich flavour and mouthfeel. As a result, the gin forms a unique pearlescent cloud when ice or tonic is added, and it tastes delicious!

Pale Ale. Refreshing, hoppy, zest. Positively lacking in cow.

We are so proud to work with Stone Daisy Brewery. I used to travel to the Fonthill Estate to collect wine from our bonded warehouse. It is a beautiful place, and their spring water is the best I've tasted. When I discovered their brewery and tasted the beer I knew we had to introduce this incredible discovery to our customers.

Aromas of intense ripe damson and black cherry with a hint of spice. Ripe and generous on the palate, robust and full-flavoured with intense plum and sour cherry fruit, balanced by tangy, juicy acidity, leading to a moreish finish.

A classic Southern Rhône red; friendly and warming autumnal, leafy aromas and an ample, baked fruit palate. A delicious, uncomplicated, soft, fruity and very drinkable red.  Made predominantly from a blend of Grenache and Syrah from the Vin de Pays de Vaucluse. Traditional Rhône-based viticulture is used, with part manual/part machine harvest. 

Redolent of roses and ripe-for-the-picking strawberries, the refreshing De Toren Délicate is an elegant red blend that combines red’s seductiveness with the undeniable drinkability of white. Medium-bodied and immeasurably gentle, it offers up an abundance of juicy fruit and velvety, smooth tannins that lead to a sophisticated finish. Delicious on its own as an apéritif, it’s also the perfect consort to the lingering pleasures of Spanish tapas or aplatter of the finest French charcuterie.

A blend of long-aged XO Grande Champagne Cognacs, Delamain Pale & Dry benefits from a lengthy two-year marriage period in cask after assemblage before being bottled, resulting in a beautifully smooth roundness and flavour integration on the palate.

Aniseed, figs, apricot, cherry and honeysuckle combine in a smooth and extremely elegant cognac. Nothing less than we'd expect from this house.

British-born, Indian-inspired Desi Daru's aptly-named No.1 Vodka has been lovingly made with English winter wheat and refined Himalayan water distilled seven times for ultimate purity. The result is a meeting of East and West; bold yet subtle, rich and clean in flavour.

Sweet and citrusy, this Mango-Flavoured Vodka mixes the rich sweetness of Indian Alphonso mangoes with notes of English wheat. It's no surprise it's been crowned World's Best Flavoured Vodka.

Rum exclusively from the pot still rums, aged twelve, and titrating the final 40 °

Soft nose, becoming powerful with aeration with dominant cooked fruit, blond tobacco and honey.

Aromas of great intensity and diversity on the palate: dry and stewed fruit, butterscotch, acacia honey, tan, tanned leather, sandalwood.

Undeniably one of the classics.

From the St Guilhem le Désert region in the sunny Val de Montferrand. Comprised of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Syrah, this wonderful southern French wine lives and breathes the Langueoc style. With a lush richness and an inviting character, some inclusion of whole-bunch Syrah adds a perfume and lightness to the palate. Medium-bodied and in no way overblown, there is a finesse and liveliness not often found in these grapes from this part of the world. Very 'alive' tasting. With 10 generations of organic winemaking under their belt, this family Chateau certainly know what they're doing!  ORGANIC.

Winemaker Andre Farjon has 50 hectares of vines that he started farming biodynamically in 2008 and are now certified organic. The grapes are sourced from clay and limestone slopes around the town of Uchaux, as well as the gravel and clay soils on the flatter areas around Cairanne, giving Farjon a range of terroirs with which to work.

The Côtes du Rhône La Devèze blends Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan to produce a rich, black cherry and plump plum core, with hot stone notes buried on the finish. Medium-full bodied and well balanced, it beguiles with underlying notes of aromatic scrubby herbs like lavender and rosemary. Full of vitality. One of our bestselling wines, and for good reason.

A perfect partner for lamb with roasted aubergines and peppers.

A Muscadet with depth and complexity. Flinty and lightly mineral with appley fruit and real texture and interest. With some fruit from old vines, adding concentration and mineral complexity to this fresh, savoury wine. A true French classic and makes a perfect match for fish and shellfish. Try with Crab & Chilli Linguine with a good squeeze of lemon.

Vineyards are in the Hautes Côtes, at the top of the slopes just above Domaine de la Motte's Chablis classified plots and so achieve good ripeness. The soil is Portlandian, which is less chalky than Kimmeridgian, and typically produces wines which are less mineral and more fruity, well suited to earlier drinking. Having said that, Motte’s wine has real finesse with good fruit character – very much their house style. Cool-fermented in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation is also in stainless steel and the wine is unoaked.

Fairly restrained on the nose, savoury herbs and citrus on the palate. Well balanced with a suggestion of "hot stone" minerality. Old school, lean, and steely.

 The nose of this 2022 White Burgundy offers up a bouquet of juicy white stone fruit and subtle, toasty oak. Succulent peach and nectarine flavours fill the palate, tempered by zesty citrus and rounded out with notes of melted butter and a sizzling, iodine finish. 

Domaine des Tourelles Red is from one of the oldest and most highly acclaimed wineries in the Bekaa Valley. Blended from old vine Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cinsault, this is a rich, fruity red with ripe plum and cherry fruit and silky tannins. Just made for lamb & aubergine dishes.

Founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun, this was the first commercial cellar in Lebanon producing wines. Artisan winemaking skills and traditions are applied to their handcrafted wines - this includes minimum intervention in the vineyards and cellar, use of indigenous natural yeasts, no fining or filtering, and only very small amounts of sulphur. Domaine des Tourelles is classified amongst the finest boutique wineries of the Middle East.

This is such a great Touraine Sauvignon Blanc. Absolutely classis Loire restraint and class. Crisp with medium acidity and lovely depth of ripe fruit flavours. The perfect mid week tipple.

Fine mineral aromas with stone fruit notes. On the palate there is a depth of flavour expected of a grand cru, supported by decent acidity and a mineral core. Very long finish. This is Chablis at its purest…sublime.

Viognier, Marsanne and Clairette blend. Rich and limpid, the almost exotic stone fruit flavours are restrained by precise notes of lime. The deftest touch of oak adds texture and weight without overwhelming any of the fruit characters, and the finish just keeps going and going. Truely a wonderful wine. Pair this with roast Chicken and be in foody heaven!

The Jaume family have been making wine in the Rhone since 1826. They still own the same vineyards and some of the vines are over 100 years old. This, their truly excellent Blanc de Viognier is testament to their achievements in making white Rhone wines of top quality at accesible prices. Organic.

Such a great value wine. Deliciously ripe fruit with flavours of prunes, a touch of herbiness and pepper spice, the tannins are smooth and supple and the finish is fresh - a characterful, well structured Merlot. Fresh and juicy - not the usual 'flabby and bland' Merlot you find at this price. Smooth, ripe and seriously good - this is a very easy and generous drink, sure to please the crowds. Try with steak in peppercorn sauce.

Textured and luxurious this is a sophisticated Cabernet Franc from Gard. There is a wild 'after the rain' woodland perfume, with menthol and truffley hints. The palate is incredibly long and layered with bramble fruit, earthy peppery layers and a touch of sweet prune on the finish.

Juicy lamb shanks, rich tomato based dishes laced with roasted garlic and pepper, marinated steak with mashed potato and green beans or savour it at the end of the meal over a good cheeseboard.

This is a blend of all the 'caillotes' (limestone pebbles) parcels of the domaine, the vines are 25yo on average, vinified in stainless steel and aged for at least a year. A really textural style of Sancerre that really showcases some terroir rather than just Sauvignon typicity. The winery's commitment to sustainable farming practices ensures that the grapes are grown in harmony with nature, resulting in wines that are a reflection of the land they come from. The winemaking process at Domaine Thomas is minimalistic, with a focus on letting the grapes speak for themselves. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with the wine then ageing on its lees to develop a rich minerality and depth of flavour. The resulting wines are elegant and expressive, with a bright acidity and a purity of fruit that is unparalleled.

Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez) is matured, separately in its own solera for 12 years. Once blended together, the resulting sherry is returned to a 45-cask solera for a further 3 years ageing. Dark mahogany in colour with green-amber edge. It offers vibrant notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, shoe polish, raisin and chocolate beer nuts, all very well integrated. On the palate it is smooth and rich at the beginning, full of prune and burned oranges peel flavours. Provocative spicy notes appear just before its nuttiness and terrific acidity cuts through the sweetness. With a truly unforgettable finish. 50 cl

A red with layers of spicy fruit and damson, that massively over delivers.

Ripe, appealing aromas of plums, blackberries, and cherry and a hint of milk chocolate. Rich and spicy on the palate with dark fruit, balancing acidity and soft tannins.

Bodegas Juan Gil own over 500 hectares of vineyards, between 700 and 850 metres altitude, in the northwest of Jumilla: old bush vine Monastrell planted in chalky soils, and Shiraz grown in sandy soils on younger, trellised vines. Vinification is carried out at the winery in the heart of the Juan Gil vineyard area. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, temperature controlled, and the juice maintains contact with the skins during this 10-day process.

Will match up with rich pasta dishes with salami or ham, or a premium, meat-rich, lasagna with layers of meatballs and slices of pepperami in the mix! Sunny weather? - perfect for barbecues too.

A very smart Syrah from one of our favourite South African producers, this is plush, polished and seriously appealing. Fresh and lifted berry fruit aromas make for a very inviting nose; full yet elegant, with bramble, cassis and black cherry. These flavours follow on the palate with a typical Syrah note of black pepper spice. Fine, ripe tannins with a long rich, finish. Astonshing value.

Ideal with spicy dishes, red meats and rich Mediterranean dishes.

Sustainable viticulture, wild ferment, and no nasties. Proper wine, sensibly priced.

This windswept Sauvignon Blanc is not concocted from over-croppped grapes, nor pumped up on clever winemaking additives. This authentic wine comes from cool, windswept, ocean-facing vineyards in Stellenbosch. These gems give up meagre yields and small berries, which are hand-harvested to ensure natural intensity and cutting acidity is preserved. Fresh and zesty with grassy and dry bay leaf aromatics, Fynbos (which surrounds the vineyards), mineral notes, with hints of citrussy richness. This is a restrained Sauvignon Blanc with a palate that has lots of minerality and citrus with just a touch of green pepper and grass. Fabulous seaside Sauvignon.

Sustainable viticulture, wild ferment, no nasties, vegan. Proper wine, sensibly priced.

The lesser-known white grape of Burgundy, Aligote is a hidden gem that performs very similarly to Chardonnay in the glass, with rounded nutty tones, creamy notes and a fresh acidity. As classic Burgundy gets more expensive, Aligote offers brilliant value for money from the same terroirs. And terroir is what Burgundy is all about.

A classic mainly Chardonnay-based blend, with the addition of some Pinot Noir showing a balance and finesse typical of Ferghettina wines. Made in the Champagne method, and very Champagne in style, each vineyard is vinified separately until the spring after harvest, when, following scrupulous tastings, the wine is blended into a cuvée and bottled for the prise de mousse. The result is an elegant and decisive sparkling wine, the perfect introduction to the estate's style.

Attractive citrus notes in the nose which soon give way to scents of white peach and crusty bread. Crisp, decisive and long on the palate with traces of hazelnut and white flowers. A fine and persistent finish.

Aromas of warm, ripe dark fruits with black cherry, plum and tarry, smoky notes. The palate is generous and fruit-forward with wild cherry and damson notes combining with spicy, dried fruit characters. Ripe, chewy tannins and fresh acidity give good structure, with an attractive bitter twist on the finish hinting at liquorice and burnt treacle. An impressive example of Nero d'Avola, combining approachability with real interest, depth and complexity.

A wonderful Fino Sherry from the Solera Familiar range at Lustau. The nose is laced with scents of the sea and profound "flor" aromas. Clean and fresh, with a slight taste of tangy yeast. While most Fino Sherry is aged in Jerez, the Fino Del Puerto is aged in the cool and humid air of El Puerto de Santa Maria.

Emilio Lustau has a long history of sherry production dating back to 1896 and is the only winery in the Sherry Triangle that produces wine in its three main towns: Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Year in and year out, these Sherries receive high plaudits from critics and awarding bodies alike. The current cellar master has won 'Best Fortified Wine Maker' by the IWC for the last three years in a row.

You’re probably wondering what Floc is! It’s a very delicious aperitif made with two thirds crushed grape juice and a third Armagnac. From esteemed Armagnac producer, Veuve Goudoulin. Floc is best served chilled or served over ice which makes it a great sunny weather drink!

Fresh and enjoyable with aromas and flavours of white grapes, dried fruits and acacia honey.

The Chardonnay grapes come from single vineyards in Buttrio and Prepotto, where the vines have an average age of more than 30 years. Yields maintained at around 40 hl per hectare to retain concentration. Vinified entirely in stainless steel tanks and aged on its own yeasts until March, the wine is bottled with a light filtration.

Very Chablis-esque, but with unmistakable Italian flair. Classic tones, delicately exotic, but typically salty thanks to the fresh, well-integrated acidity that suggests immediate drinkability, but promises a pleasant evolution over the next five years.
