New Special Offers!

We're pleased to offer 3 new wine special offers and 2 new Whisky deals:

Firstly, we have a stunning deal on a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano that we honestly believe is the best offer we've ever done in the 4 years we've been operating!

Baroncini Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2006

This hails from the Baroncini family, from Tuscany’s very prestigious Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

The Baroncini family have owned land in Tuscany since 1489. Today, the company is run by Stefano and Bruna Baroncini and they own several estates across the region. Their philosophy is to make the very best wine they can whilst respecting the land and the environment.

The wine is aged for two years in oak casks and then a further year in bottle before release. This is their 2006 vintage, which is drinking beautifully now but will still keep and even improve over the next 5 years or so.

In taste this is classic Sangiovese with an elegant, complex nose of chocolate, coffee and tobacco with a great concentration of plum and cherry fruit. Densely textured on the palate, which reveals a generous intricacy of flavours, with more cherry fruit with characters of blackcurrant and bramble fruit. The finish is clean and cedary.

Normally very well-priced for a Vino Nobile at £13.99, we’ve managed to do a deal where we can offer this stunning red for just…

£6.99

Half price! I hope you’ll agree this is an amazing deal, please give us a call or email to reserve your bottles as soon as you can as we don't expect this one to last very long!

Next up is a fantasic Spanish red from the lesser-known Jumilla region.

Honoro Vera Jumilla 2008

Ok, so the label’s pretty basic but somehow appropriate as the wine itself is an emphatic victory for substance over gloss.  Derived from 30 year old bush vine Monastrell, this is chunky, warm and spicy, ripe and generous but with heaps of backbone too.  These wines (which are also 100% organic!) normally represent excellent value for money at just £7.99, right now:

£4.99

Our final gem hails from Sicily.

Ca' di Ponti Grillo 2009

Sicily is producing some truly amazing wines right now at exceptional prices and this is no exception.  The Grillo grape is also renowned for producing some of Sicily’s finest whites.  Made by respected Italian winemaker Claudio Manera, this is full and honeyed yet dry and offers savoury and gently nutty flavours.  A real stunner that will also only get even better with a little bit of age. Normally £7.99, now:

£4.99

Again, please give us a call or email to reserve your bottles as soon as you can

Moving on to Whisky, we've got a new malt of the month!

Tullibardine Aged Oak

We’re delighted to be able to reveal the details of our next malt of the month. For May we’re offering an unbeatable deal on the brand new release from Tullibardine distillery: Tullibardine “Aged Oak”.

A new addition to the Tullibardine Range using Single Malt matured in Bourbon Barrels that was made after re-opening in 2003. The key here is that this Single Malt maintains the Tullibardine style although it has been produced by the new Distillery Team.

This Single Malt has a bright, pale gold colour. On the nose there follows a lovely youthful barley with light citrus notes, a touch of candied fruit and even a hint of mint. To taste there is an initial burst of flavours of barley, lemon and vanilla. Add a touch of water and these tastes are softened to allow more of these aromas to come through.

Normal retail price will be £27.99, only throughout May, whilst stocks last…

£19.99

This is also available to taste in store. Give us a call or email to reserve your bottles.

We’ve also managed to get hold of a fantastic single cask Glenrothes in the Old Malt Cask range from our friends at Douglas Laing, which we can offer out at an amazing price.

Old Malt Cask Glenrothes 12 Years Old

Distilled in May 1996 and bottled in February 2009 at 50% ABV, this is 12 years old, is non-chill-filtered, non-coloured and the barrel produced just 657 bottles.

Nose
Sweet with crushed red berries and maple syrup

Palate
Rich & spicy sweetness with gooseberries and plums

Finish
Still sweet, creamy with candied orange peel

Normal price for this should be £46.99, whilst stocks last…

£34.99

Again, please give us a call or email to reserve your bottles!
