A smaller bottling than any other Filey Bay Finish, Port Finish Batch #1 spent its first 3 years in ex-Bourbon casks, before moving into ex-Ruby port casks from Portugal for 22 months (these casks are notoriously hard to source and very rare).

Only 2000 bottles are available.

Still Collection Case. Noting that 2020 was terrible in many ways, yet exceptionally good for the British grape harvest, after identifying a parcel of Pinot Noir from one of their Kent growers, they decided that this was the year to add a red wine to their racks.
The Still Rosé 2021 was the one exception of a second year in still wines after 2020. Made from a blend of Pinot Precoce, Noir and Meunier grapes, pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel tanks, then lightly filtered and put straight into the bottle, it cheekily retains its vibrant fruit characters.
The Reserve Still White 2020 takes the use of oak barrels from their sparkling wines and translates that across this Reserve version of their Still White. Aged for 6 months in older barrels, the oak brings a balanced touch of creaminess to the palate, whilst overall, the wine retains its vivaciousness.

With three Classic Cuvée Rosé and 2 Première Cuvée, and three of their Classic Cuvée, a wellbalanced blend of all three traditional grapes, handpicked on the estate and aged at least 35 months. It’s exciting, with structured yet ripe acidity, as notes delicately open up to floral and stone fruit aromas.
Also awaiting your enjoyment are six Hambledon Vineyard sparkling wine glasses, a branded stopper (should you manage to make a bottle last more than the evening) and a limited edition scented candle from the Compass Candle company.

From Kent, in the heart of the Garden of England, Kit’s Coty is Chapel Down’s premium collection of limited-production, single-varietal wines from their Kit’s Coty vineyard. Their Bacchus, made from the very best parcels of hand-harvested fruit are whole bunch pressed before undergoing wild fermentation for nine months in third and fourth-use French oak barrels. Flavour notes of ripe green apple and elderflower aromas balanced by a creamy palate and long, fresh finish.
In contrast, their Chardonnay is rich and opulent, with complex aromas of white peach, apple and apricot, and the well-rounded palette finds rich buttery notes of roasted hazelnuts.

Located in beautiful Stonor Valley between Oxford and Henley-onThames, this case from Hundred Hills celebrates its finest wines, each distinct from the next, across two very different vintages.
The 2018 Preamble offers delicate plum and pear on the nose, evolving into rich apricots, peaches and ripe limes on the palate. The same year also offers the Blanc de Blancs, forward with white floral aromas moving to rich lemons, limes and yuzu, delicately filling the palate while white peaches and further exotic notes emerge.
In contrast, the 2019 Blanc de Noirs has a core of vibrant acidity that draws together the generous, round palate of ripe Pinot Noir. Intense layers of red fruits, from macerated strawberry, raspberry, red apple to Morello cherry are taken deeper into layers of succulent nectarine, and juicy flat peaches with cream.
Across the mixed case of 6 stunning bottles, it’s an elegant journey of one wine British Wineries’ triumph.
