It's English Wine Week - try this excellent one
Yotes Court Vineyard On the Nod Bacchus 2022
The Bacchus grape, a Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner-Riesling cross, tastes like quality Sauvignon Blanc. Planted in 2018 at 140m in the sunny, sheltered Yotes Court vineyard, once an apricot orchard, it yields a floral nose of gooseberry, cassis bud, and green pineapple. The palate is zesty with pink grapefruit notes, balanced acidity, medium weight, and a refreshing finish. Perfect with asparagus, goat’s cheese, shellfish, or grilled salmon.

Perfect for the Summer Sun!
Belles du Sud de Ciceron 2024
This is an absolute delight! Perfect for long summer days and sharing with friends and family. A bright, pale rosé which is light, dry and refreshing. Aromas of red berry & pink grapefruit and the 10% ABV give a real feeling of lightness.

We have a great range of boxed spirits perfect for Father's Day - including a excellent selection of Cognacs and Armagnacs, including this superb Hermitage 10 Year Old Armagnac.
Aged for a minimum of 10 years, its maturation in oak barrels has added to the complexity of this relatively young cognac but its flavours of spice and coffee, with pineapple in the background, are characteristic of cognacs from the top cru.
