Introducing a Raft of New Wines to our Range

As ever we strive to find what we feel are some of the best wines around, and so as summer shows its last glimpses of warmth we have introduced a selection of fabulous new wines for you.


First up are our fantastic fizz;

Devaux Grande Reserve Champagne. Its no surprise this wine has won both silver and gold in the Sommelier Wine Awards in previous years, its rich baked apple and vanilla aroma's come from the house specialty Pinot Noir grapes, with enough finesse from the underlying Chardonnay results in a full & lively balance on the palate. Retail price £31.50, drink-in price £38.50.

Bride Valley Cuvee Reserve. Steven Spurrier is a British expert in Wine, a famed wine writer and advocate for French wine, and so if anyone is in a position to make incredible Champagne style wine its got to be Steven. Steven took over and commenced planting the Dorset vineyard in 2009 yielding its first vintage 2 years later of which we are proud to have on our shelves.
This wine made up mostly of Chardonnay grapes with a little richness from a small ratio of Pinot Noir shows green apples, pears and toast, with a lively acidity that is becoming a hallmark of English sparklers. We have it on the shelf at £29.95 or £36.95 enjoyed at Stydd Gardens


Anna de Codorniu, Blanc de Blancs Cava. Made from a blend of both typical grapes of Champagne (Chardonnay) and traditional Spanish Cava grapes (Xarel-Lo & Paralleda) give a distinctive experience of citrusy and tropical hints floating amongst the brioche aroma's from the ageing on lees, leading to a rich creamy palate, the wine currently is in stock in standard 750ml or even 200ml "Benjamin" sized bottles retailing at £13.50 and £5.00 respectively.

Innocent Bystander Moscato. Hailing from the Yarra Valley, Australia this is like rhubarb crumble in a glass; full rich flavours with hints of uplifting rose water and mandarin emanating with the fine frizzante which keeps the palate refreshed and clean. Extremely moreish and at only 5.5% abv its equally enjoyable at lunch time! £9.50 for this bottle

Codornew Albarino Frizzante, a low alcohol wine that does not compromise character as it has undergone full normal fermentation and then expertly dealcoholised so that all of the aromas and flavours are retained. Citrus, Grapefruit and White Peach are all evident in the fruity, balanced sparkling wine. On our shelves at £10.75


Next up are a some exceptional still wines;

Peter Lehmann has been described as one of Australia's most respected and innovative wine makers. So we were keen to grab hold of some of his latest offerings. especially since they have been selected and crafted from very specific portions of the Barossa estate to give much finer albeit more limited specialty wines aimed at us smaller outlets.

Layers Red & White, the philosophy for both these wines is to create a wine greater than the sum of its parts, each individually fermented (& oak aged in the red) grape in both of the blends bring its unique character to add depth of flavour. The red is made up of pre-dominantly Shiraz providing deep dark fruit character, a robust savouriness from Tempranillo, an earthy spice character from Mourvedre and all softened with a little Grenache. Both the Red & White sell at £10.75

Masters "Wigan" Riesling. Picked from Peter Lehmann's world renowned Eden Valley vineyards, to produce this dry aromatic and anonymously limey flavours with those typical faint notes of petrol on the nose which develop over the 5 years of ageing in bottle. Consistently receives awards and top end points in tastings vintage after vintage. Retailing at £13.95 or £20.95 to drink here

Superb English Still Wine from Stopham Estate in Dorset

Pinot Blanc think along the lines of a Sauvignon Blanc, but halfway between the classic Sancerre and NZ styles, the flavours are succulent whilst less sharp than many new world styles and does retain the smooth elegance that is typical from France. Full of Grapefruit, Limes and Melon

Pinot Gris Aromatic peach and pear on the nose and a fine balance of crisp acidity with a hint of sweetness that lingers on the palate

Rosé the Dornfelder grape provides bags of raspberry and strawberry fruit, ever so slightly off dry with refreshing acidity to compliment a warm summer day.
All 3 of these are priced at £14.95 to take with you, we often have these chilled to open by the glass here at £5.50 (175ml)

Our web-shop has been updated and re-opened, follow the links above which should take you there if you prefer to order and have your wines brought to you!

We're sure there is something here to set the mouth watering, so we hope to see you soon to let us know what you think! 
Ben & Andrea

Thank You 2013 & A Warm Welcome 2014

...and thank you to all that made this year fabulous! Its been a real experience opening the wine cabin and watching Stydd Gardens blossom in amongst our fellow residents.

We thank all of you who made the trip and found us, made our acquaintance, tried our wine, told your friends and filled the place with happiness. We can't wait to see you again in the next year. Without you we wouldn't have made it this far.

Thank you, cheers and all the very best!

Now wheres the fizz???

Wine Tasting, Summer Cases, Gift Vouchers & Giveaways

Wines of Southern Italy; a taster

So we have now been here for a whole month, and what a month! We have been blessed by such a beautiful summertime season (until today of course!) which has given us a great start, we thank all of you who have been to Stydd Gardens to visit us, experience the surroundings and enjoy our fabulous wines! 

We have finally responded to so many requests for events and now are pleased to unveil our inaugural wine tasting event. In keeping with our continental-esque surroundings, Andy Taylor (Liberty Wines) will be taking us on a tour of the South of Italy, tasting wines that may or may not be familiar to us, and the culture that influence such an underestimated region and wine-making .

Andy has been a key jigsaw piece to the foundation of our humble wine "cabin" (Chalet, Shack, Shed... for want of a better descriptor...suggestions welcome!), his knowledge and assistance in putting an initial range together for both us and in turn the Glass House Café has been invaluable for a great start to our journey.

Taking place in the Glass House Café, next door to Fullaloves Wines, tickets for the event are £25 per person, this includes tasting 8 wines and a selection of antipasto to accompany them.

(edit. we are limited to 30 spaces; since this went out, 16 tickets have already been reserved, therefore please book quickly to avoid disappointment!) If you would like to reserve a place, please call or email us

Summer Case

To accompany such fabulous weather of which we are not totally accustomed to, we have put together 6 wines we believe go hand in hand with the sun and warmth, many of which you may also not be accustomed to, but should certainly make the most of.

2012 Bodegas Colomé Torrontés, Colchagua Valley, Argentina (£10.50) 

2012 Dry Riesling, Villa Wolf, (Ernst Loosen), Pfalz, Germany (£9.50)

2012 Chateau Beaulieu Rosé, Provence, France (£10.75)

Cantina Colli Euganei, Rialto Prosecco, Italy (£10.75)

2012 Delta Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand (£13.25)

2011 Izadi, White Rioja, Spain (£12.95)

As an incentive for you to come and try this case we are offering a mixed case of 6 wines (one of each) at £65 or 12 wines (2 of each) at £125. Numbers, like the British summer, are limited, so make the most of them at this price, whilst its warm enough to enjoy them!

Gift Vouchers

We have just eased your burden for choosing presents, wine has easily got to be the most appreciated gift to receive (or is that just me!!). However choosing wine for tastes other than your own can be a little tricky. Introducing Fullaloves Wines Gift vouchers, so you can be sure your gift is enjoyed! The vouchers are available in the Wine Bar at Stydd Gardens, or online here

Free Prosecco

Lastly, in a shameless attempt to increase our Social network, we are giving away a free bottle of Prosecco once we reach 500 likes on Facebook. Love it or hate it, social media is part of our culture so here we are embracing it!

To be in with a chance of winning, you must "share" our posts, the more "shares" we receive, the more "likes" we are likely given, hence the quicker we reach our goal and somebody wins the prize! 

You will find our page here, upon which we post all our goings on, events, updates etc.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays and hope to see you here soon!
