Full bodied, yet soft & quick to mature. A fine oak aroma makes this an ideal accompaniment to hearty red meat dishes.
Started this in July 23. It was good after bottling in Aug 23. Have just opened a bottle in June 24. It is now truly exceptional. Much better than most of the genuine article at a fraction of the cost.David Silcox (1 Jun 2024, 18:01)
Like my previous review, it tastes good so I keep ordering it.Michael Collins (7 Oct 2022, 22:08)
This is the same grape that;s used for Châteauneuf-du-Pape AFAIK. When I racked it again after three months I found it was quite acceptable. I;m ordering two 30 bottle kits so that some of it may last a whole year:)Michael Collins (9 Sep 2019, 15:45)
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)
Ordered my umpteenth order yesterday morning and just over 24hours later my order is brewing nicely. Thank you for such brilliant service.Jay Bancroft (23 Aug 2023, 10:37)
I've always found that they give a great friendly service and usually have a good stock of all items at a good price.Colin Taft (15 Apr 2024, 11:16)
Ordered Tuesday morning delivered Wednesday morning, doesn’t come any better than that, all well packed, present and correct. Excellent prices too, can’t fault emPhil Hudson (8 Feb 2023, 11:00)
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)
