The famous red grape used for all red Burgundy wines and the majority of Champagnes. The juice is less tannic and richer textured than Cabernet Sauvignon, and therefore it matures more rapidly. Characteristics: Soft, fruity and smooth. Appropriate Foods: Veal, pork, roasts, salmon, duck, young cheeses & game birds.
I think this wine is great, I entered it to a local wine competition, felt a fraud reallf, but it won first prize! My secret?.... I invested in a real oak barrel, the wine after only a few weeks in the barrel is great. Id say its over £10 a bottle if you could buy it! Kiaora!Peter Connolly (21 Jul 2017, 16:05)

I think I've had all the reds and at least 4 of the white/Rose and it's hard to fault any. I like the Barolo best myself but my wife a white wine drinker mostly loves the Cabernet Sauvignon - smells lovely. However in summary of all my friends comments I suggest the Pinot Noir has the widest recognition. Delivery as always fantastic. Order yourself 2-3 and get prepared for Christmas.David Shaw (3 Aug 2013, 07:50)
Hi,
We have used this company for quite a few years now and we are very happy with their products and very efficient delivery too.Denise Albiston (2 Aug 2023, 09:13)
Really pleased with this wine. No way would you think it was home-made. Well up in the £8 to £10 a bottle quality for less than a quarter of that. Trying the Shiraz (Wine Expert) next, but it was a tough decision as I was very tempted to stick with the Merlot. Will report back on the Shiraz in due course.Allan Postgate (30 Dec 2024, 12:51)

I bought two wine kits and one did not have all the necessary parts, only the grape concentrate. I needed to get this started before we went on holiday, Sam chased it up immediately with the suppliers and I received the missing bits in time to start it before we went away. As always, first class service!!Alan Gaffiney (29 Aug 2024, 14:21)
When into store backend of lockdown looking to upgrade my air still to the T500 wanted advice before taking the plunge. Both the guys on the counter was so helpful and went through everything that I needed. This store is about 30 miles away from me and I have to pass at least 2 other shops but it’s worth the hour trip each way. Keep up the service making your customers feel valued 10/10Shaun Murphy (16 May 2021, 18:22)
I live a long distance away but was staying with relatives for the weekend. Decided to visit the shop and so glad I did. They have everything that a home brewer could possibly need. You are free to browse and select what you need. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I lived closer, but will definitely pop In again when I am able.Phil (29 Aug 2023, 08:49)
