Bargains, bargains!
It's the time of year when we do a bit of early "spring cleaning" of the wine range.
Some are odd bottles, some are wines that sold well in 2020, but didn't grab customers' attention in 2021.
They're all good, but we'd like to make space for new wines in the warehouse, so please take a quick look at the dozen below:
Gently citrussy and herbal aromas lead to a densely fruity, peachy palate with great texture and a clean, lifted finish.
A dry style of Chenin Blanc from near Limoux in the Haute Vallée de L’Aude.

Buy Seduction Pinot Noir £10/bottle SOLD OUT
A co-fermented blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Longridge in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Flavours of ripe guava, pineapple, kiwi, green apple and a hint of strawberry. Dry and fruity rosé.
