Twelve Green Bottles

Our quest is simple; to offer you sensational, exclusive wine at an affordable price.

Founders of Twelve Green Bottles Wine Company, Neil and Mandy Jenkins moved to Spain in 2000. While living in Elche they embraced the local culture and quickly grew their knowledge of the many family owned vineyards in the region. On returning to the UK, the couple were horrified by the mass produced wine available in the supermarkets and equally dismayed by the high priced alternatives. That was when the couple decided to turn their hobby into an exciting new business venture.

🍷 What Gives Rosé Its Colour?

Rosé’s beautiful pink colour comes from the grape skins, not from blending red and white wine.

After the grapes are crushed, the juice stays in contact with the skins for a short period, often just a few hours. This brief contact gives the wine its delicate blush colour while preserving its fresh, crisp character.

The longer the skins remain with the juice, the deeper the shade of pink becomes, ranging from pale blush to vibrant salmon hues.

✨ Great rosé is all about perfect timing.

🍷 Why Do Some Red Wines Taste Smoother Than Others?

Not all red wines are created equal.

A wine’s smoothness is influenced by its tannins, acidity, alcohol level, and the way it has been aged.

Wines with softer tannins often feel rounder and silkier on the palate, while higher tannin wines can feel firmer and drier, particularly when they’re young.

Understanding these differences can help you discover the styles you’ll enjoy most.

✨ Every bottle has its own character.

Fresh. Aromatic. Distinctively English.

Produced in the sunniest corner of Essex, New Hall Bacchus showcases why English wine continues to earn recognition around the world.

Delicate aromas of peach, orange blossom, and soft florals lead into a beautifully balanced palate layered with guava, stone fruit, and refreshing citrus character. A subtle touch of minerality on the finish adds elegance and complexity.

Bacchus is often considered England’s signature white grape, celebrated for its vibrant aromatics and crisp freshness. This award winning example perfectly captures the character of the variety while remaining approachable and easy to enjoy.

Pair with seafood, grilled chicken, fresh salads, goat’s cheese, or simply enjoy chilled on a warm afternoon.

Bright, expressive, and full of personality, this is English wine at its finest.

Suitable for vegans.

🍷 Why Swirl Your Wine?

Swirling wine isn’t just for show.

The movement introduces oxygen into the wine and helps release aromatic compounds that might otherwise remain hidden.

This allows fruit, floral, spice, and oak notes to become more noticeable before the first sip.

A simple swirl can reveal a surprising amount about what’s in your glass.

✨ The experience begins before the first taste.

Why Does Wine Taste Different From Bottle To Bottle? 🍷

Two wines can be made from the same grape and still taste completely different.

Climate plays a major role. Grapes grown in warmer regions tend to develop riper fruit flavours, creating wines that feel richer and fuller. The same grape grown in a cooler climate often produces brighter acidity and more delicate aromas.

Winemaking choices also shape the final result. Oak ageing can add notes of vanilla, spice, and toast, while stainless steel fermentation helps preserve freshness and fruit purity.

This is what makes wine so fascinating. Every bottle reflects a unique combination of place, grape, and craftsmanship.

✨ Every bottle has its own story to tell.

Some of the best conversations start with:

“Shall we open another bottle?”

Not every memorable evening is planned.

Some simply begin with a bottle on the table and nowhere else to be.

Rosé Season Begins 🌸🍷

Light. Elegant. Effortless.

There’s something about a chilled glass of rosé on a warm British afternoon that feels unmistakably seasonal. The garden is in bloom, the sun lingers a little longer, and suddenly every moment feels worth slowing down for.

Delicate notes of summer berries, soft floral aromas, and crisp refreshment make rosé the perfect companion for long lunches, lazy weekends, and golden evenings outdoors.

Not every day calls for a celebration.

Sometimes a glass of rosé is celebration enough.
