Sometimes great things come in small packages, this couldn't be more accurate when discussing our half bottle selection. World class wines that won't break the bank or the back! 

Gremillet Champagne Selection Brut NV half bottle- This certified sustainable, award winning producer, uses a classic blend of 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay. A little bottle that packs a fruit heavy punch. Wonderful value for money – it has been aged for a longer period than most adding to its finesse and toasted notes. This is wine with elegant mousse and a creamy texture backed by its fruitful nature.

Niepoort Ruby Dum 37.5cl - If you know us you know we can't get enough of this Portuguese icon; Ruby Dum is classically foot trodden and fermented in granite lagares, it is then aged in large old vats but retains its youthful, strong character. Dominated by red cherries and plums with great freshness from ageing in large wooden vats in the cool cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. Perfect with soft cheese or chocolate.

Niepoort Tawny Dee 37.5cl - With an average age of three and a half years, originates from low yielding vineyards in the Cima corgo region of the Douro Valley. Delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits.On the palate, very well balanced with a youthful fruity, luscious character, which integrates well with a long finish.

El Candado Pedro Ximenez Valdespino 37.5cl - From one of the top Sherry houses in the region, this delicious Pedro Ximenez has a liquid Christmas cake character, great depth and a lovely flick of acidity on the finish which serves to emphasise the unctuous sweetness and flavours of dried fig and raisins.
