Wines
This Silex Sauvignon Blanc is a true masterpiece, channelling 45 million years of history from the iconic Sancerre terroir. The vineyards that border the Loire offer grapes that not only deliver stunning finesse and elegance but also reflect the rich minerality of the ancient soil. This is Sauvignon Blanc elevated, a “Grand Vin” in every sense. Its crisp yet succulent character promises not just immediate delight, but great aging potential, making it a bottle to savour now or save for special moments. This zippy white pairs beautifully with delicate dishes like grilled fish or poached cod, sushi, and even lightly spiced Thai cuisine. Its fresh citrus notes complement anything with a bright lemony zing.
A trip 155 million years in the making, the Marnes Kimmeridgiennes transports you to an ancient seabed, where layers of fossilised oysters and marine life nourish the vines. The unique terroir gives this wine a striking complexity and minerality that you won’t soon forget. From these ancient roots, Sancerre offers us a Sauvignon Blanc that is structured, concentrated, and altogether irresistible. For an unforgettable pairing, try it with roast lobster in lemon butter, pan-seared scallops with a rich artichoke purée, or indulge in poultry with earthy morels in a creamy white wine sauce. The minerality of this wine harmonises beautifully with seafood and rich, buttery flavours, making it an ideal choice for your winter feasts.

Known for his culinary excellence, Ramsay has now brought his signature flair to the world of wine, offering a bottle that perfectly complements his philosophy of bold flavours with refined simplicity. This Pinot Grigio boasts vibrant notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, delivering a light, zesty finish that pairs beautifully with everything from seafood to salads. Whether you’re hosting a festive dinner or looking for the perfect gift, this wine is a surefire way to impress and delight any palate.
Spirits
Introducing CLOUD HOUSE, a groundbreaking coffee-infused rum that marries the unique flavours of Colombia’s diverse landscapes, from the mountains to the sea. Making its worldwide debut in the UK, this spirit offers an extraordinary fusion of hand-selected, rich Arabica coffee beans with sweet, silky rum, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for coffee and rum lovers alike. Crafted at a hidden gem of a coffee farm nestled high in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, 4,793 feet above sea level, CLOUD HOUSE is the product of Colombia’s finest. Here, veteran local growers carefully roast and cold brew coffee to extract deep, complex flavours, which are then masterfully blended by Andres Faustinelli with rum distilled on the Caribbean shores below. Aged in ex-bourbon oak casks, this rum absorbs the sea mist, imparting rich notes of salted caramel that perfectly complement the deep coffee infusion. Rooted in Colombian culture and heritage, CLOUD HOUSE brings an authentic taste of two distinct worlds — the mountains and the sea — into one bottle. With no spirit like it in the UK market, Brits can now be among the first to experience how CLOUD HOUSE transforms everyday moments into unforgettable, uplifting experiences.
Irish Distillers proudly introduces the latest permanent addition to the Redbreast family — Redbreast 18 Year Old. This exceptional whiskey celebrates the brand’s heritage by blending the iconic influence of oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon barrels, while also introducing a rare touch of cream sherry casks from the renowned Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage. This new element offers a fresh yet familiar experience for Redbreast lovers. On the nose, expect a rich bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, raspberries, and sugar-glazed cherries, balanced with indulgent hazelnut chocolate and caramelised stone fruits. The palate is full-bodied and complex, with oak tannins complementing the sweet flavours of autumnal fruits and vibrant ginger spice. A long, luxurious finish allows the pot still spices, fruits, and oak to harmoniously fade, leaving a lasting impression of this beautifully balanced whiskey.
