Félix Solís Junior is the winemaker behind Bajoz Roble, and he chose us to bring it to the UK first 🍇 If you’re a fan of rich, dark red fruited Rioja with big licks of vanilla oak then we’re certain you’ll love this. Tony Laithwaite has had a taste and he says he “absolutely adores” it 🍇 To celebrate its arrival in the UK we’re offering you a case of 12 for just £7.99 a bottle. Snatch it up while you can! . . . #winetime #wine #winetour #winepic #winetrip #winenight #winallday #vin #winestore #Tempranillo #SpanishWine #RedWine #ToroWine #oldvinewine

  • Desert Island Fizz 🏝️ . This tip comes from our wine director Liz who's championing English Sparkling Wine. She says this is the wine – with crisp, citrusy and nectarine fruit and toasty, brioche notes – she'd choose to drink if stranded alone on a tropical island . @Ridgeviewwineuk's South Ridge Cuvée Merret Brut has won the award for Best International Sparkling Wine THREE times, and has even beaten big name Champagne like Tattinger in blind tastings! . . . #Bubbly #Fizz #Pop #Celebration #LimitedEditionWine #cheers #SparklingWine #EnglishSparklingWine #DeessertIslandDrinks
  • Fancy trying a brand new Kiwi Sauvignon? Of course you do! 🛩️ We're very excited to be launching Bristed Brothers in the UK – a wine from 70-year-old twins Bill and Dick Bristed who, until now, have reserved their Marlborough vineyard's grapes for some very famous wines – unfortunately we've been sworn to secrecy on their names 🤫 The pair are well-known in Marlborough for their crazy capers ... when they're not making wine they fly a biplane they built themselves in their shed. To make it all the more fun, they sometimes tie a rubber duck to it and take potshots from the ground! Make sure you try their Sauvignon before one of them scores a direct hit 😬 #nzwine #nzwines #marlboroughwine #kiwiwine #sauvignonblanc #marlboroughsauvignonblanc #whitewine #winelover #nzwine #nzwineries #nzsauvignonblanc #nzwineuk
  • Introducing our newest wine ... Terra di Nonno. In December 1958, 68 winemakers in the town of Menfi, Sicily signed a document which would challenge the local order but protect a way of life – planting vineyards instead of wheat, citrus and cotton. Now the locals are exporting their wine for the first time, and have chosen us – as a family wine merchant that goes direct – to launch it for them . Terra di Nonno means 'grandfather's land', named in honour of winemaker Andrea Palermo's grandfather who was one of the original 1958 winemakers whose vision helped save his village and keep its traditions alive . 👀 Intense straw yellow 👃Wild herbs, flowers, citrus and pear 👄Intense lemon and orchard fruits, wild herbs, floral hints . #winelife #winetasting #vinstagram #winefriends #instavino #wines #wineoftheday #winegeek #winealldayeveryday #wineglass #Sicily #SicilianWine #Menfi #Sicilia #vino #vinho #winestory

  • @drjamiegoode wrote in Wine Anorak that “one of the biggest boosts to quality Sekt production in Germany was the arrival at Reischrat von Buhl of ex-Bollinger chef de caves, Mathieu Kauffmann" – and we couldn't agree more 🍾 . Germany’s irresistible noble grape has been given a sparkling twist by Riesling royalty @reichsratvonbuhl, and the result is this fresh, fruity and off-dry sparkling wine with hints of green apple, peaches and tropical fruit 🍑 . If you're looking for a new sparkling wine to try, you can't go far wrong with this. Try it for yourself and see what you think. Prost! 🥂 . . . #31DaysOfGermanRiesling #SparklingWine #Sekt #Bubbly #Fizz #Pop #Celebration #LimitedEditionWine #cheers #prost #GermanWine #WinesofGermany #Riesling #EverythingHappensforaRiesling #winelover #ilovewine #winepic #winenerd #vino #wein

ABOUT LAITHWAITE'S

Laithwaite's began in 1969, when Tony Laithwaite took a job washing bottles in Bordeaux... and fell in love with real wine and the people who make it. When he borrowed a van to share these delicious wines with friends and neighbours at home, things went so well that boutique wineries were soon queuing to take part. Today we're the UK's No.1 home-delivery wine merchant, with over 1,500 wines to choose from... including red, white and rosé, plus Champagne and sparkling, beer and cider.
