Great champagne, shame about the website

Had this champagne served in a restaurant in London and liked it so much went searching online and was delighted to find it at Vineking at a good price. Ordering was very straightforward but the new website had a glitch and the case was sent to the billing address not the delivery address. A real shame. VineKing we’re very apologetic and I have a £25 voucher . The champagne, when I eventually got it, is superb for the price.

Boutinot Coteaux Cotes du Rhone proves its worth

For years now I have been buying Boutinot Coteaux Cotes du Rhone from the VINEKING. It is really tasty and reliable and family and friends always compliment it on its fine taste and slightly fuller body. Thoroughly recommended and excellent value.

Right up my street

Not to might citrus bite, smooth and balanced with a slight spritzy effervesence which I really like. On its own or with fish, this works well.

Delicious and surprising

I bought this as Mark suggested it as an answer to the question "what have you got that will delight and surprise me?". This did both. Crisp, light, slightly floral. A super blend.

Punching well above its weight for a youngster

Opened a good hour beforehand, but not decanted, it really developed. Tannins softened, flavours grew, colour darkened - cedar, tobacco, walnuts.
Lucky to have acquired it with a 20% Discount, so value question was favourably scewed. At full price, I would still seriously consider buying it again though.

We enjoyed it, as did our Dinner Guests.

Pet Nat - lovely discovery!

New introduction to Bulgarian wines at the tasting and loved this fizz! Crisp, small bubbles and very quaffable! Shared another bottle with friends at the weekend - more converts!

Great Malbec

I like my Argentinian Malbecs but this one is really special and definitely worth buying. A great bottle worthy of the best Malbecs I’ve ever had.

Marras Piekenierskloof Chenin 2017

A fantastic example of Chenin Blanc from the Swartland. Flavours of quince and fresh fruit. Extremely good length and full in the mouth. Great balance between fruit and acidity. Perfect with lamb, pork or a meaty fish such as monkfish. Definitely recommend this wine. Will purchase again.

Coquille is tremendous

Wonderful wine. Excellent recommendation by Mark at West Road Reigate and endorsed by Erik.
Gave a bottle as a present to a friend who knows a bit about wine who also commended it as excellent and really drinkable!
Well done, VineKing!

Beautiful, crisp and dry

An absolutely stunning champagne, which became an instant favourite. Have had other Gossets before, and although all lovely, this one tops them. "A true dry".

Super mid range white

This was a lovely surprise, crisp, dry but with some fruitiness that doesn’t go as far as a French Sauvignon.

False Bay Slow Chenin Blanc

Recommended by Mark Irwin in Vine King Reigate some years ago this is a perfect white wine for me and my guests.
Not too dry and a really body to it.
Very enjoyable.

On another wine, congratulations to Vine King for their order for the ROSE wine Jean Didier. Excellent wine! Thank you.

Romanian gem

Excellent product at a reasonable price when purchased within a 6 pack. Best chilled at 16C - welcome light touch at only 12.5% alcohol. I will be buying more.
