Red, purple hue. Dense nose of dark cherry and plum fruits. Subtle oak and typical GV salinity. On the palate this wine is rich, but also tightly woven. Dark fruit is fleshed out by toasty oak and firm fruit tannins. Great balance of acidity.

Dark red, purple hue. Dark brooding nose of plum and cherry, smoky stalk tannins and toasty oak. The palate is opulent with good weight and texture. Fruit is balanced by chalky tannins and nice acidity.

Dark ruby, our merlot blend is seductive and graceful. Gathering together ripe black plum, liquorice, and cherry, underpinned with a current of Turkish delight, graphite, and sandalwood. Balanced acidity and silky tannins confer structure, and the extending ageing in French oak shows a soft, ample mid-palate. The myriad of flavours lead the senses, creating a revealing bouquet and a long sustained finish. Cellaring Potential: 10 years

A very elegant wine with great texture.

A floral Chardonnay that displays lanolin, flintiness and stone fruit aromas on the nose. The palate is creamily textured and full bodied with ripe nectarine-like fruit, underlying notes of toasted cashew nuts, sourdough bread and cinnamon quills - ending with a clean and crisp finish and a lovely persistent and savoury toastiness.

Fresh red berry fruits aromas combine with a distinctive dried herb nose, with layers of pot pourri and spice. Chalky tannins and lively acidity entwine around a core of vibrant red fruits. This is a fresh and aromatic wine of elegance and poise.

Rich coffee and caramelised malt scents lead to a thick, juicy, and soft mouthfeel with abundant citrus, herbal, and earthy notes. A bold presence of burnt coffee, dark cacao, and a powerful hit of bitterness.

Seventeen years in the making, the Nectaron® hop is proving a hit with brewers worldwide – and with one sip of our Nectaron Pale Ale, you’ll soon see why.

Nectaron brings intensely tropical characteristics to a brew, alongside citrus and stone fruit. Think pineapple and passionfruit, sitting alongside grapefruit and peach. Added to our Pale Ale, it delivers a juicy and sessionable flavour that is sure to delight the senses.

As described by our drinkers, Nectaron Pale Ale is “a solid sipper”, “well balanced”, and “bloody good with fish and chips”.
