  • Wakefield is the most awarded winery in the world. Their wines have racked up more than 6,000 awards and the top ones are so popular they rarely make it out of Australia. However, we share a special anniversary with @wakefieldwines ... their founder Bill Taylor set foot in his first Clare Valley vineyard the same year that our founder Tony set out in his van to Bordeaux. So to mark our joint 50th Wakefield have given you access to their triple-Gold, Platinum-winning Shiraz. With plum, cassis and dark cherry aromas alongside black olive and toasty oak notes, this Shiraz ends with a long, smooth finish - we think you'll love it! Search 'Wakefield Heritage Shiraz' online for all the details. - - - - - #wineoclock #winelover #winecellar #ilovewine #winepic #winenerd #vino #wein #winery #vino #winetasting #mailorderwine #photooftheday #winewithaview #winerewards #drinkwell #wineart #vineyardlife #shiraz #aussieshiraz #aussiewine #australia #redwine #wakefieldwines #wakefield #laithwaites #laithwaiteswine #50thanniversary #goldenanniversary #familybusiness

  • @Ardbeg is one of Islay’s eight world famous distilleries. Founded in 1815, they boast a swathe of international awards, and in the last ten years alone have won such prestigious titles as ‘World Whisky of the Year’, ‘Scotch Whisky of the Year’ and ‘World’s Best Single Malt’. The Ardbeg 10 Year Old, their house style, is the world’s peatiest whisky. But if you’re expecting An Oa to be a typical ‘surf ’n’ turf’ Islay, think again. It’s crafted from spirits aged in a variety of casks, formerly used to age such delights as intense PX sherry, and fine US bourbon. These add beguiling notes of butterscotch, black pepper and clove to the classic Ardbeg peat, dark chocolate and aniseed. - - - - - #whisky #scotchwhisky #ardbeg #ardbegwhisky #peat #islaywhisky #oawhisky #singlemalt

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.
