⭐ Back in stock: Three Choirs 'May Hill' 2025 ⭐

Back by popular demand - The latest vintage of Three Choirs 'May Hill' white is a stunner. Medium-sweet but with a fresh acidity - Packed full of pink grapefruit and citrus, with a honeyed finish. Great for Summer salads, chicken, or Cheshire cheese!

We caught up with Three Choirs Vineyards at this week's Nantwich Show (More on that later).

⭐ We are delighted to share that we've won a Great Taste Award! ⭐

This year we entered our 'Brazil Fazenda Bom Jesus' coffee into the Great Taste Awards. The results have been announced... And we won a '1 -Star'! (Described by the Great Taste Awards as 'Simply Delightful').

Our feedback noted: 'This coffee offers a mellow chocolatey, nutty aroma with discernible hazelnut. This follows through to the palate with adequate brown sugar sweetness and minimal bitterness. The judges enjoyed the defined hazelnut and chocolate character of this full-bodied, rounded coffee'.

Brazil Fazenda Bom Jesus is available from our coffee counter (Daniel better get roasting some more!) ⭐☕
