Warner Edwards ‘Harrington Dry Gin’ 70cl
An exceptionally smooth gin handcrafted by lifelong friends in a barn in Harrington, Northamptonshire, including ingredients from Warner Edwards farms in England and Wales, a truly fabulous creation of which all of Britain can be proud.
A bright nose with creamy, exotic spice, before crisp citrus and green juniper. On the palate is a fantastic texture with a rich viscosity that coats the tongue and mouth. Fresh juniper upfront, with a hint of salinity, moving onto fragrant coriander and citrus, before a subtle mix of dry angelica and gentle spice. A finish of indulgent vanilla creaminess that’s accompanied by sweet spice and green herbs. The flavours linger on the palate for minutes afterwards

Hugh Hamilton, “The Scoundrel”, 2013
£17.95Add to cartHugh’s Tempranillo is intensely varietal. An aromatic grape, it shows cherry, rhubarb, and raspberry liquorice. Add to that a herbal edge and complexity from barrel age, and it’s an intriguing package. Let it have a bit of air in a glass, and watch it bloom
Under most conditions, Tempranillo is a medium-bodied wine, but with a distinctly savoury heart. This is no exception. It is textured, with fine tannins (derived from the skins of the grape, not the barrels), yet has an evenness on the mid-palate, arising from the natural flesh of the variety. Gentle hints of mint and dried herbs accompany the generosity which is hallmark of our region.

Fox Creek, ‘Short Row’ Shiraz, 2016
£18.95Add to cartFirst produced in 1999, Short Row Shiraz acknowledges the traditional McLaren Vale Shiraz style that has brought the region the recognition and standing amongst the great wine regions of the world. A style based on a powerful fruit driven front and mid palate, with rich ripe tannins requiring significant new oak influence to be brought back into a semblance of balance.
This big and rich Shiraz has been tamed slightly over the years to enhance its drinkability and poise in the glass but it still packs a punch on the palate. The original incarnation was from the short row vineyard, which is characterised by a magnificent big ball of fruit on the mid palate. We also select parcels from two other vineyards that exhibit similar flavour and tannin profiles.
Appearance
Deep purple
Nose
Plums, black cherry, raspberry, clove, dark chocolate. Intertwined with nutmeg, cinnamon, and roasted vanilla bean.
Palate
Fruit driven front palate of plum, strawberry, black cherry, mid palate of strawberry and cream with hints of dark chocolate. The youthful grape tannins provide a firm texture and length that will soften and integrate with age.
Drink now but this will reward with careful cellaring until 2020.

Fox Creek Reserve Shiraz 2013
£43.95Add to cartWe didn’t think the 2012 could have been bettered but then comes along the current vintage 2013.
This has been Fox Creek’s most celebrated wine, first made in 1994. The Reserve has an extraordinary range of flavours with blackberry, blackcurrant, liquorice and dark chocolate. The wine has a rich sweet fruit mid palate and the finish is long. While approachable when young, it is best cellared and drinks best to 2028.
Appearance
Intense, deep burgundy.Nose
Red cherry and plum fruit flavours layered with cinnamon and nutmeg, dark chocolate and liquorice with hints of rhubarb and buttered toast.Palate
The full flavoured palate with plums, black cherries, rhubarb and strawberries, with liquorice and milk chocolate filling out the mid palate. The wine finishes with great balance and elegance, and is characterised by rich dark chocolate, roast nut, vibrant acidity and firm structural grape tannins. These tannins give the wine excellent length and will become richer and soften as the wine ages, and will reward those who can cellar this release. We also recommend decanting this wine up to two hours before savouring.Winemaking
Sourced from premium selected McLaren Vale vineyards blocks with a range of soil types contributing structural and flavour complexity. Soils include Bay of Biscay, grey loam, and red gravels. Harvest took place when the individual vineyard fruit flavours, grape tannins and acids all reached maturity. 2013 was a warm and compact vintage with mild nights and to warm days during the ripening period. This meant the fruit flavours were rich and intense and the tannins were big and firm. The Shiraz harvest began mid February and finished in mid March, with most of the components for this wine came in late February and early March. Fermentation on skins was for 8 – 10 days, with all wine completing fermentation in barrel for added texture and to advance the integration of oak and grape tannins. During maturation the wine from each vineyard batch was targeted with appropriate oak styles to maximise its potential and produce the most complex and complete wine bases possible prior to blending. Our oak barrels are sourced from coopers in France, USA and Australia and are seasoned for 3 years. Maturation was for 21 months in both new and one year old oak barrels. Barrel by barrel selection took place during all stages of fermentation and barrel maturation to ensure only the best Shiraz barrels were selected for the final blend. Final blend proportions were determined purely by quality, balance and style.Awards
