Introduction

The New Year starts to see the new vintages from Europe landing on our shores, particularly the whites and it is a l w a y s a n exciting time to see what the new release Rose wines will bring us.

We have introduced a new rose to this list, The Chot Rosé from Francois Delhon which is a Provencal style from the village of Pui s s a l i cain. We are also introducing C o a t e s a n d Seely’s brilliant sparking reserve as our ‘by the glass’ fizz. Ten years ago this might ha v e been unthinkable, but the quality of this wine (and our other UK representatives) is simply outstanding.

As always we have collated some rare and interesting bottle s which you can find on t h e F i n e W i n e L ist with some amazing finds all at their peak for drinking now. Let us know if you would like to have a bottle opened and decanted.
