Explore the range...
The standard English wine has gone from strength to strength in recent years and grown dramatically in popularity. Only a tiny proportion of English wine is exported outside the UK, with around 96% of everything produced currently being consumed domestically. Using our relationships with producers and importers, we diligently source and secure exclusive allocations of the finest English wines available, making them available to our customers and wine club members on the West Coast of the US through our online store.
Spotlight on...
Nyetimber
Using only estate-grown grapes from their own vineyards ensures that only the finest fruit is used to craft globally acclaimed Nyetimber wines. The Head Winemaker, Cherie Spriggs, and her Winemaker husband, Brad Greatrix, assess each handpicked vineyard individually – from choosing the optimal time to harvest the grapes and supervising their gentle pressing to eventual vinification. This meticulous attention to detail allows them to make the most informed blending decisions the following spring. All the wines at Nyetimber are crafted according to the traditional method, with an emphasis on aging them for extended periods of time to build complexity and flavor. They also allow for generous post-disgorgement time before release, ensuring that the wines have ample time to settle and reach their optimal condition.
