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!

Christmas Opening Times, Gifts, Hampers & Parties

Seasons greetings to all of you!

We are all feeling especially festive here at Stydd Gardens despite the drab weather, the cabin is a beautiful retreat where the cold and wet is easily forgotten when sipping a hot homemade mulled wine or indulging early in our Romaneira LBV Port with a chunk of Blacksticks Blue, or even the chunky Game and Veg broth courtesy of Keith at Delicious from Home.

Opening Times

Our opening times are pretty straight forward this year; so rather than list when we are open, Ill tell you when we are not;

Merry Christmas to all

More critic reviews!

The positive reviews keep on coming with our wines;

Valentin Bianchi 'Famiglia Bianchi' Organic Malbec 2010

A full-on blast of pure Malbec grapes; massive, luxuriant, smooth flavours of blackcurrants, damsons and some notes of dried fruits, coffee and chocolate fill the mouth and linger on the palate.

Terry Kirby, The Independent on Sunday, 12 May 2013

Mitolo, Jester Shiraz 2010 McLaren Vale

16.5 points

Rich and toasty. Lots of pleasure and reward… Good value.

Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 7 May 2013

Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2012 Adelaide Hills

16.5 points

Very pure, clean, direct aromas without a hint of Marlborough. Bone-dry finish. Masses of crystalline fruit. Probably closest to Sancerre in inspiration. Excellent purity.

Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 7 May 2013

Shaw + Smith Shiraz 2010 Adelaide Hills

17 points

Appetising and interesting… Admirably well balanced and sleek.

Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 7 May 2013

Our wines gaining praise!

After catching up with looking through some of the various press this week I stumbled upon some critics reviews of the wines we have in on offer;

 Susy Atkins in The Sunday Telegraph (28 April 2013) who picked out the Delta Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand.

One for fans of highly fruity, fresh Pinots with good acidity, this 100 per cent Marlborough-region Pinot has lively cherry fruitcake and juicy red-berry flavours and a long, succulent finish.



Sarah Ahmed of thewinedetective.co.uk (26 April 2013) took a look at some Australian favourites including our Willunga 100 Grenache 2010, McLaren Vale, South Australia

Ripe red cherry and berry fruits… are off-set by juicy acidity, an edge of tannin and pretty floral notes



Remember, if you buy 4 bottles (2 of each of these!!) we will deliver locally* for free! We are also putting some of the proceeds towards sponsorship of my 10k Manchester run in aid Child Action Northwest

Fullaloves Wines now online

The Fullaloves Wines webshop is now online.

It has taken a while, but we have finally got to the point where we can let you loose and purchase our wines online.

The intricacies of an online shop have been numerous and a hindrance at best whilst time consuming to manage, (for a novice such as myself at least) however; these have been now overcome, to offer you the opportunity to browse our selection, make your order and have wine delivered to your door.

Please bear with us as this is a temporary store front and will be updated and improved over the coming weeks, I guarantee though, that these changes will not affect the taste and satisfaction from the wine itself; I can personally say (as I'm sure a few other lucky customers will also testify to) that there are some real gems in there.

We have already been through 3 batches of the very popular Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc by Delta Wines in New Zealand, huge flavours typifying the grape and region from which it hails. Hugely refreshing when drunk chilled, perfect for under the glass house roof of the Cafe with the sun beating in (despite the sub-zero temperatures outside!).

A 2007 Reserva Rioja from Izada exemplifying rich dark fruits on the palate from the Tempranillo Grape complemented by the soft smoky aromas from being aged for 14 mths in American oak barrels; has also been a hit here at The Glasshouse Cafe, to accompany the wonderful Spanish platter available.

Both of these are available by the glass in the Cafe, so you may try for yourself before taking a bottle (or case) away!

We have made every effort to make your purchase as simple and versatile as possible and so various methods are open to you including; debit / credit card, paypal or even cash & card payment on collection from Stydd Gardens or even at your door when we deliver!

We will be available to deliver all through the Easter break, but get your order in early and book a delivery slot early to avoid disappointment!

Happy Easter from us all at Fullaloves.co.uk
