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.

Finca Nueva cultivates 96 ha of vineyards on calcareous-clay and gravel soils, situated on the right bank of the Ebro river in Rioja. All vineyards are all north-facing in order to fully benefit from Atlantic influence. Unlike Finca Allende, which eschews the use of the traditional Rioja quality categories based on ageing, Finca Nueva makes a red Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva. What remains the same, however, is the use of exclusively French barriques. The style is modern and fresh, elegant and easy-drinking.

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.

This wine is produced from the Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez grape varieties, and is aged in new French oak barrels. It is very fruity and full-bodied, with notes of red berries, black cherry and spice. It has great concentration and exuberance, and will age beautifully. 

Using the classic British dessert of Summer Pudding as our inspiration we have a created a Fruit Gin Liqueur to be enjoyed up and down the country, from garden parties to palaces, come rain or shine. Local Strawberries, Raspberries, Redcurrants and Blackcurrants are blended with Foxdenton's own gin to create a sumptuous ‘Best of British Summertime’ Liqueur. With each berry clearly defined on the palate and some serious Gin heft on the finish we cannot imagine a drink more suited to celebration! Chin chin!

A delicious sloe gin from Foxdenton. This is no sweet liqueur, this is a real, dry gin which is destined for neat sipping, or cocktails. It is only gently sweetened with sugar, and is made with Foxdenton's wonderful London Dry Gin.

The 2015 Barolo Riserva Cannubi is dense and expressive, with all of the richness of the year front and centre. Sweet red cherry, mint, pine, anise, dried flowers and spice all develop in this open-knit, supple Barolo. Time in the glass brings out the wine's textural depth and resonance. The Riserva emerges from the central part of the Rinaldi family's holdings in Cannubi Boschis. Drink now-2035

rançois and Julien Pinon are renowned for producing exceptional wines in the Vouvray region. François, who previously worked as a child psychologist, assumed control of the vineyard from his father in 1987 and has since established a strong reputation for the estate. As a committed winemaker, his primary objective is to maintain the distinctive characteristics of both the appellation and the vintage in all of his wines. With Julien`s involvement, the family`s commitment to organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking has been further solidified. For this particular release, the wine was aged in previously used barrels for a duration of 4 months prior to bottling. It exhibits delightful hints of green apple, delicately enveloping a core of vibrant, lively acidity.

Intense ruby red in colour with purple hues. On the nose, aromas of morello and marasca cherries pervade, with notes of small red berries and sweet spices. The palate is mineral and balanced with a long, mouthwatering finish. Recommended for fans of Pinot noir or good Valpolicella. This delivers both lightness of touch with depth of flavour. Serve chilled. Great even with fish dishes, but especially good with seared Tuna!

Telmo Rodriguez is one of Spain’s pioneer winemakers, advocating native grape varietals tied to the climates and conditions of their sites, and making world-class wines from both lesser and well-known regions across Spain. Perhaps most impressively, whilst Telmo makes rare and limited wines of astonishing character and quality, his everyday wines have been equally praised and widely recognised for the tremendous value they offer.

This, his Godello, is a triumph of that vision; unoaked, gentle, restrained and precise. Dry yet soft, with a touch of godello's distinctive minerally citrus fruit, alongside green apple and savoury notes. Absolutely perfect with light sea food dishes. 

Winner of the hugely prestigious The Whisky Exchange Spirit of the Year 2017. Organic blood orange, flowers, spice, berries, pine, drying resins and sweetness fill the mouth. Rich and unbelievably complex, it transcends expectations of a gin. 50cl

This is a real achievement in English winemaking. A textural and complex wine made with 15% Chardonnay blended into the Bacchus. The Bacchus brings Sauvignon-like aromatics of cut-grass and gooseberry, whilst the Chardonnay brings a little richness and depth. Fruit sourced from different vineyard sites brings further complexity.  A zesty wine, but with enough breadth and softness to keep well back from the 'austere and green' element of may English wines. The beautiful label evokes an English garden in summer, which is, arguably, what this wine tastes like. 

Such a cracking wine, this is a modern marriage of bright, juicy Pinot Noir and plush, classy Pinot Meunier.

Grown up bubbles because sometimes only Champagne will do! A real standout at a recent tasting, we love this for it's voluptuous texture and orchard & stone-fruit profile. A truly great Grower Champagne. Treat yourself.

With its funky, wonky bottle, this is instantly eye-catching, but this wine is no novelty! Made from the Nebbiolo grape - of greater fame in Barolo - but making no less of a wine here. And easier to approach in early years. Aromas of eucalyptus, exotic spice, underbrush and aromatic herb lead the nose. The tightly knit palate offers cranberry, dried cherry, star anise and clove set against taut, close-grained tannins. Winner of the GamberoRosso Italian wine award for the region. An off-piste but truly rewarding wine from Piedmont. Bolognese anyone?

A lovely, full bodied and satisfying wine from a blend of regional varieties. From the Alentejano region of southern Portugal, known for its elegant yet powerful wines. Makes a great partner to sausage and lentils, or roasted game birds.

Established in 2009 by vigneron couple Clément Minne and Pauline Giraud Domaine Gueissard has 18 hectares of vines that they fully manage. Clément worked at Domaine Tempier before the duo gained overseas winemaking experience. Made from a blend of 35% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 30% Cinsault, Le Petit G is their entry level effort which delivers delicious drinking at a highly attractive price.
Pale salmon pink in colour. Delightful aromas of strawberry, peach and pomegranate sail through the nostrils followed by some delicate musk and wet stone notes. Delicious raspberry, strawberry and peach fruits carry a gorgeous supple feel across the palate with infusions of musk and wet stone lying underneath. Excellent intensity and drive with brisk acidity and a long beautifully rounded finish.
Drink over the next year.

A harmonious blend of Chardonnay & Carricante from the slope of Mt Etna.

Chardonnay has adapted well to the Sicilian pedo-climate in areas with significant temperature variability and without excessive heat, such as the mid to high hills and the slopes of Etna. In these conditions it matures gradually, improving its complexity and enriching the variety of its aromas.

Carricante, a rare vine which is native to Etna, is widespread at the highest altitudes of the volcano, where it achieves otherwise unattainable freshness. As a late variety, if grown as a small tree and properly vinified, it produces white wines of great stature, with a fresh and complex nose of apple, yellow fruits, orange blossom and anise, as well as a typical acidity that gives it structure and longevity. Harmonic, refreshingly acidic, with a finish of anise and almond. Wonderful stuff.

A delicious Welsh gin from The Gower Gin Company, made using a combination of eight botanicals - including juniper, lemon, pink grapefruit, bronze fennel and green fennel. A good balance of savoury and citrus sweetness.

On low-vigour, stony, clay-rich soil, in a cool maritime mesoclimate, naturally tiny yields of well under 35 hl/ha give rise to a certain tightness, tannin line and elevated length to balance the richness and generosity of this Pinot Noir. The wine is not overtly fruity but it is soft and generous and shows hints of alluring savoury “primal” character along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume. Classy and classic.

A tight, minerally wine with classic Hamilton Russell Vineyards length and complexity. Unusually prominent pear and lime fruit aromas and flavours are brought beautifully into focus by a tight line of bright natural acid and a long, dry minerality. An elegant, yet textured and intense wine with a strong personality of both place and vintage.

The original Hawkstone Lager. Bold, yet balanced, with a smooth body and top notes of light citrus complemented by a subtle, crisp bitterness and malty backbone. Setting the standard for a British Premium Lager. 4.8% vol.

Heaphy Pinot Noir is a gently perfumed and characterful wine, expressive of Nelson unique breezy and warm terroir. A well-balanced profile, showing plenty of fruit, energy, and desired juiciness.

Food match: Mushroom risotto, barbequed meats or stuffed roasted butternut squash.

The second permanent expression within The Hearach single malt range, The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured launched on 24 September 2024, exactly one year after the historic release of the distillery’s inaugural whisky.

The lightly peated (12-15ppm) whisky is entirely matured in first-fill oloroso sherry butts, as you might have guessed from the name, sourced from the respected Bodega José y Miguel Martín in Andalusia, Spain. The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured is bottled at 46% ABV, with no colour added, and non-chill filtered. The below tasting note comes from Harrison Wood, blender at the Isle of Harris Distillery.

Heidi Schröck took over her family winery in 1983, in the historic village of Rust situated in the province of Burgenland about 5 miles from the Hungarian border. As Heidi explains “South-facing vineyards in a softly rolling landscape form an amphitheater around Rust on Lake Neusiedl bringing forth some of the best and most tradition-rich wines in Austria. Yearly hours of sunshine that lie much higher than the Austrian average combined with sandy soils mixed with clay and high calcium content provide the ideal prerequisites for impressive, full-bodied wines.

Medium sweet with rich, ripe stone fruit, green mango, and waxy-honeyed tones but with a refreshing seam of acidity that makes the wine buoyant and light. So much complexity here, and so much quality.

37.5cl

Deep mahogany in colour. The aromas are classic, fragrant and round with intoxicating nuances of old oak, tobacco, soft leather and toasted walnuts. On the palate the Oloroso is dry and full-bodied with fine, persistent wood and nut flavours. Perfect partner to tapas.

Terra Alta's BEST Garnacha Blanca, as awarded 2019. Fans of white Burgundy will find pleasures old and new in this rich and complex wine from the up-and-coming Terra Alta region, inland from Barcelona. Fruit laden and floral on the nose, with graphite notes. The natural acidity has been retained, enabling the wine to be fresh and moreish rather than cumbersome and tiring on the palate, as seen in other Garnacha Blancas. From the century-old farm Benufet, located in Serra Xalamera, on calcareous, clayey soils, which are poor in organic matter. Grapes are manually harvested and selected then fermented in concrete barrels. Batonnage of fine lees for 2 months brings texture, depth, and a slight smokey hints. A final 'rest' in large, old oak brings the recipe together. A very gastronomic wine, with volume and poise. 

The youngest vines of Garnatxa Negra at Herència Altés are harvested early to preserve their natural acidity and to make a fresh and zesty Rosat.  Pale, refreshing rosé, with ripe strawberry fruit flavours, and a supple mouthfeel. Utterly refreshing and full of character.

 Playfully dubbed ‘the shy girl with long legs’ - with no reason to be shy.
The only South African Premium Rosé comprising all five Bordeaux varietals,
she shows an abundance of fresh fruit, finesse and layered complexity.

The Isabel Estate Marlborough Pinot Gris 2019 is light lemon in colour and has appealing aromas of red apple, pear and subtle underlying ginger spice. Crafted in a dry style, it shows refinement and restraint yet delivers an expressive palate with layers of pear, nectarine and baked apple tart. A creamy, textural mid palate adds to the complexity of the wine and gives the wine great length. Drinking beautifully now and will continue to evolve over the next few years.

The best organic Sangiovese grapes are harvested manually during the cool night time, carefully selected and transported to the winery in small baskets. The bunches are then gently destemmed and undergo a spontaneous fermentation in small open top fermenters. The grapes are left to macerate on the skins for 24 to 30 days, and then softly pressed with a small bladder press. The wine is then aged for 24 months on its fine lees in neutral tonneau and barriques and an additional 6 months in the bottle before it is released. We only add a minimum quantity of sulfites to our wine prior to bottling. We do not fine, clarify, or filter our wines at any time during production nor do we chemically adjust it. Tiny quantities of this stunning wine are produced, so grab it while you can!

This is a stunning Chardonnay. Bursting with Californian sunshine, this certainly doesn't hold back, in fact it reaches out and smothers you in a warm embrace! Wonderful ripe fruit flavours include orange, nectarine and ripe peach. There is a subtle spice and notes of hazlenut and honey. This will go really well with roast chicken and any butter cooked fish.

NOSE - Fresh notes of apricot, peach, mango and papaya 
are all immediately present, joined by thick beeswax 
and marzipan, with an undercurrent of green tea and 
cut grass.
TASTE - Creamy, thick and full-bodied, as Greek yoghurt, 
honeyed oats and white grapes combine with more 
savoury flavours of burnt caramel and camomile.
FINISH - Matcha green tea cheesecake with clotted cream 
and apricots.

 NOSE - Rich, fruity aromas of stewed plums and rhubarb 
combine with dark chocolate, raisins, cardamom and 
cinnamon, alongside a touch of old leather.
TASTE - Soft and velvety mouthfeel, beginning with juicy 
plums, nectarines and melted almond butter, before 
umami notes of cinnamon, clove and brandy snaps 
emerge.
FINISH - Rich dark chocolate pudding – with a touch of chili, 
cardamom and aniseed.

Taste a piece of history! Revived by the great-great-grandson of the original James eadie, this blend brings together the single malts of the range into a wonderfully full and expressive whisky that surpasses the sum of its parts. Regular award winner.

Nose: Raisins drizzled with spiced rum and Sherry, a hint of grassy peat, oily walnut.

Palate: Mexican chocolate, ripe red berries, brown sugar, another waft of soft peat smoke.

Finish: Juicy apricot and pear notes last on the finish.

Pinot noir from Beaujolais, as quirky as the vigneron himself. Jean-Paul Brun is quite a legend in Beuajolais. He works organically and avoids sulphite use, creating Beaujolais Villages wines, a stunning Chardonnay (also available from us) and this, his Pinot noir. The additional warmth and granitic soils of the 'Terres Dorees' give this Pinot a vibrancy and character all of its own. Retaining the elegance of Burgundy, yet with a little more of a wild side. Enjoy it for it's youthfulness and energy.

Kaiyo's stock of Mizunara oak casks is its pride and joy. Known to impart a subtle and unusual collection of aromas and flavours to whisky during maturation, it's this wood which is often credited with setting Japanese whisky apart. Kaiyo doubles down on its cask maturation, sending the full casks off to sea for months at a time, allowing the natural motion to ensure constant movement, and thus contact between whisky and wood. Delicate, wheaten nose, with vanilla, ripe dried fruit and hints of cherry. Spicy and oaky on the palate, with dried orange and burnt caramel and a long, lingering finish. Utterly sublime.

Aged in ex-rum casks made from the Mizunara Oak that grows in northern Japan. The twisted growth-habit makes for particularly difficult cooperage, but imparts a wonderful flavour and allows for a long, slow, micro-oxygenation through 8+ years of ageing. 

Quite exquisite, a sipping whisky for the connoisseur. 

Appleton Estate Kingston 62 White Rum is dry and spicy with buttery, vanilla and oak notes. Distilled, blended & bottled on the Appleton Estate since 1749, this Jamaica spirit is a classic expression of the rum-maker’s art. The rum is aged for 2 years and charcoal-filtered to remove colour and impurities.

A top quality 100% Chardonnay Methode Cap Classique from South Africa's oldest and finest. This traditional method fizz certainly represents excellent value and is a firm favourite with us and our customers.

Bright and pale gold in appearance. An intense nose with vibrant flavours of stone fruit and citrus, with a hint of brioche and lime zest. Precise bubbles on the palate with a concentrated mouse and lively fresh citrus flavours concluding with a crisp flinty finish. Incredible quality and value from one of the worlds oldest wine estates.

One of the best Vodkas in Europe at the moment with a release of just 4,000 bottles per year. Complex and dense body; starts with soft sweet winter wheat followed by a nutty note and finally a complex dryness that flaunts the rye with a peppery note on the end.

Lágrima (meaning 'tears') is the sweetest style of white Port. An intense yet elegant sweet wine with notes of caramel, honey, and nut - all balanced by fresh acidity and leading to a long and appealing finish. The grapes are grown on the schistous soils of the Douro region. Vinification is in closed fermentation tanks, which is interrupted through the addition of grape brandy to preserve a high degree of natural sweetness. The wine is then aged in wood in Wiese & Krohn's cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Drink chilled as an aperitif, or with fruity desserts. It has been filtered, so won't need decanting - once opened it should 'keep' and be enjoyable for a few weeks.

An accomplished Chardonnay from northern Greece, that drinks more like Cru Burgundy! Perfumed aromas of melon, ripe pineapple and lemon combine with toasty butterscotch notes. Opulent and weighty, with a richly oaked texture, beautiful balance and spicy minerality on the finish. So, so good for the price - lovers of white Burgundy will be very happy here.

There's Greek wine and there's Greek wine... This is not the stuff of beachside Tavernas but comes from one of the most modern and accomplished winemakers in Greece. Whether you are a Viognier fan or not, this is a must-try; silken, rich and supple, beautifully fruited and just packed with complexity and finesse. A shop favourite.

The vineyards here are dry-farmed and hand-picked. They picked the fruit for the 2018 in two lots, 10 days apart. Two-thirds of the fruit that went into the 2018 Rays Road is from the early pick, described by winemaker Michael Brajkovich MW as ‘very distinctively limestone in character, with mineral, salty, flint characters that were certainly reminiscent of Chablis’, while the last third was much riper. Whole-bunch pressed, fermented with ambient yeast entirely in barrel, treated to 100% malolactic conversion and aged for 11 months in barrel.  Fresh and minerally and super-crisp but quite satisfying and not meagre at all. Super-clean. Just right for current drinking. If only all white burgundy offered this accessibility (I'm talking both price and taste). Really quite long. A neat, complete wine.

Domaine L’Ancienne Cure Jour de Fruit Monbazillac  is a wonderfully rich sweet wine made from low yields of late-harvested, botrytised, Semillon (90%) and Muscadelle (10%).  It has flavours of marzipan, orange peel and spices. Christian Roche has emerged in the last five years as one of the best growers in this appellation. A wonderful alternative to Sauternes, and better for youthful drinking.

Best drunk as an apéritif (with Roquefort), with foie-gras, melon, or with cakes and desserts.

37.5cl bottle.

Picpoul vines grow just inland from the Étang de Thau, home to southern Languedoc's famous oyster and mussel beds. Along the coast you'll find cabins where locals gather to feast on mussels or 'huitres braisees' (oysters cooked over a fire pit) which are perfect with a glass of Picpoul de Pinet.

Gently perfumed, ripe melon fruit on the nose. The palate is ripe but retains excellent freshness, balanced by a touch of white pepper spice that is very typical of its grape variety. Deliciously long, the finish shows bright fruit and a clean, saline/mineral edge.

Each one of the family's vineyards is cultivated using the French Agriculture Raisonée method, a form of environmentally aware farming. Each bottle of Daniel's wine proudly bears the High Environmental Value label on it. 

But what of the wine? Freshly crushed black fruits and cassis dominate yet there's a crunchy fresh bite to it too. It scored 16.5/20 from Jancis Robinson MW who described previous vintages as “Grenache at it’s most delicate tasting… it has the luscious appeal of one of the finest Chateauneufs.” 

Jeb Dunnock was impressed too, giving it 90-92/100 and saying "the purity and freshness of the vintage as well as outstanding notes of red and blue fruits, sappy herbs/garrigue, and pepper. It’s nicely concentrated, elegant, medium-bodied, and just has everything in the right place. It will keep for over a decade."

Drink now and until 2030

Attractive, juicy, bramble fruit and floral aromas, the palate is up-front and fresh with warm spice and real depth.

Lovely with BBQs; grilled meats, halloumi and vegetables. Herby sausages, pasta with Mediterranean vegetables.
