Cool vineyards near Lake Garda give wonderful richness and clarity to the flavours, and an extra twist comes from the use of traditional cherry wood barrels for the reds (except the Recioto), imparting a unique spicy quality. The Valpolicella dell’Anniversario was released to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the estate; selected from the best hillside vineyards and given added depth and complexity through double fermentation, it is a masterful wine. - [Alvaro Palacios](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/alvaro-palacios/): Álvaro Palacios, whose family owns the prestigious Rioja Bodega, Palacios Remondo, spent two years at Château Pétrus before setting up on his own in Priorat in 1989. From the outset, he set out to produce world-class wines using fruit from extremely low-yielding old vines and applying ultra-modern winemaking techniques. The cream of the crop is the single vineyard wine L'Ermita, which was first produced in 1993. It is a blend of 80% Garnacha, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cariñena, all aged in new French barriques for up to 20 months. It is bottled unfiltered. It has intense concentration, enormous depth and a complexity which is simply staggering. - [Amatore](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/amatore/): Amatore Winery, established in 1908, has over 100 years of history. Located in the picturesque region of Verona, Italy, the winery has developed a deep connection with its surroundings, often drawing inspiration from the area's rich cultural heritage. The winery is particularly known for its Romeo and Juliet series of wines, which pays homage to Shakespeare's famous play set in Verona. This series includes both white and red wines, crafted with meticulous care to reflect the essence of the region - [Ancilla Lugana](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/ancilla-lugana/): Ancilla Lugana winery’s history is a story of passion and family legacy, beginning in the mid-1970s when Ancilla purchased two vineyard estates with her daughter, Maria Teresa. Ancilla’s dedication to the vineyards was unwavering, and Maria Teresa continued this legacy by producing high-quality grapes. At the turn of the millennium, Maria Teresa’s daughter, Luisella Benedetti, faced a choice between selling the family business or embracing winemaking. Despite her career in finance, Luisella chose to follow her passion, learning every aspect of winemaking. Today, Ancilla Lugana winery stands as a testament to the dedication of three generations of women, producing some of Italy’s most elegant white wines. - [Andrea Ledda](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/andrea-ledda/): Andrea Ledda is a renowned wine producer from Sardinia, Italy, known for his innovative approach to traditional winemaking. The Ledda family has been involved in viticulture for decades, with their vineyards located in the picturesque regions of Mejlogu and Gallura. Mejlogu, a central area in Logudoro, is known for its limestone and sandy soils, which contribute to the unique character of the wines. The vineyards here are surrounded by cherry trees, adding a distinct flavor profile to the grapes. Andrea Ledda’s journey in winemaking was significantly influenced by the legendary winemaker Giacomo Tachis, who served as his mentor. This mentorship inspired Ledda to blend traditional techniques with modern entrepreneurial insights, resulting in wines that are both mineral-rich and vibrant - [Andreas Mazzei](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/andreas-mazzei/): Our story begins in 1981, when Roberto Mazzei founds Alibrianza, his family-run business. From the very beginning, the selection of wines has always been careful and precise, and when his son Andreas joins the company, the objective is to create a wider range of wines with even higher quality levels. Today, we can proudly state to have reached an important milestone in the realization of our great project: our Cantine Andreas Mazzei, which are exclusively dedicated to an accurate selection of wines coming from Piedmont, Sicily and Apulia. It all begins in Piedmont in the ‘90s, when Roberto and Andreas make a long-time dream come true thanks to the purchase of the Cascina Radice winery. This property, whose origins date back to 1890, is surrounded by the marvellous hilly countryside of the Asti province, in the small town of Moasca.

In 1922, Alfredo Prunotto met and married Luigina. Together they decided to take over the "Ai Vini delle Langhe" co-op and gave it their name.In 1956, Alfredo Prunotto decided to retire and he sold the company to wine technician and friend Beppe Colla who was assisted by Carlo Filiberti and later by his brother Tino Colla. As early as 1961, the owners of Prunotto began to identify specific production areas, well-know vineyards of excellence, and began single vineyard vinification to produce the very best crus such as Barolo Bussia and Barbera d’Alba Pian Romualdo. The Antinori family first became involved with the Prunotto winery in 1989 initially handling distribution and then in 1994, when the Colla brothers decided to retire, they took over production upholding the excellent quality standards that Alfredo Prunotto successfully achieved. In 1990 this project took shape when Albiera Antinori, Marchese Piero Antinori’s eldest daughter, further defined the winery's personality by concentrating on the vineyards: the first was the Bussia vineyard, one of the most prestigious in the Barolo area followed by Costamiòle in Agliano to produce Nizza, - [Arthur Metz](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/arthur-metz/): The Maison Arthur Metz is ideally located at the start of the picturesque wine circuit in Alsace, which is the central road through the Alsace vineyards.

Tasty Cabernet Franc from very special blocks in the Clare Valley. The down side to this is that there is very little Franc left in the Valley.   On the up side you have made it here while there is still room on the Gertie Gallon allocation list, see the next page for details! This year Ben Marx gave the ferment  3.5% whole bunch to add another layer of complexity to both the nose and palate. Down a touch from last year due to the fruit having slightly faster ripening period. Due to the year I also gave four weeks post ferment skin maceration to help build structure and depth of flavour. Although I don't hang my hat on the fact this wine has no adds except minimal sulphur just prior to bottling, I think it's worth a mention.   Gertie is not filtered and may not be as crystal clear as some may be expecting! - [Bodega Numanthia](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/bodega-numanthia/): Bodega Numanthia: Legendary Wines from the Heart of Toro Founded in 1998 in Spain's historic Toro region, Bodega Numanthia crafts exceptional wines that embody the spirit of resilience, much like the ancient city of Numancia that inspires its name.

The Castello di Argiano family moved to Tuscan in the 1970s and he bought a ruined castle on a hill – presumably a great place for a telescope – and an abandoned hamlet called Argiano. Between writing about the stars and organising the festival of Baroque Opera in Tuscany, he began to visit local wineries. His passion grew and in the 1990s the Sesti family planted their first vineyards. Guiseppe’s four children helped to harvest and stomp the first vintages, and over time his love of ancient calendars and celestial spheres has taken Sesti down the path of biodynamic production following lunar cycles. - [Champagne Bollinger](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/champagne-bollinger/): With her customary common sense, Madame Bollinger gathered around her those family members who were most able to follow in her footsteps.

Château d’Yquem stands as a historic monument, and its journey has been nothing short of a wine-related soap opera. Picture this: a battle between the Lur-Saluces family (previous owners) and the LVMH luxury goods group. In 1996, LVMH made its move, capitalizing on shareholders ready to cash in their Yquem shares. Comte Alexandre de Lur-Saluces, the director of Yquem, faced accusations of high-handedness. Eventually, LVMH became the majority shareholder in 1999, with assurances that Yquem’s impeccable standards would be upheld. Under the management of Pierre Lurton (also at the helm of Cheval Blanc), changes ensued. The 1999 vintage was offered en primeur, kick-starting interest. The superb 2001 vintage saw prices more than double. Yet, the Yquem team remained intact: Francis Mayeur (technical director) and Dr. Sandrine Garbay (cellar master). Denis Dubourdieu, a consultant, joined the team. Fine-tuning occurred, with a broader range of must weights during harvest, resulting in complexity and parcel selections for blending. The final blend determines the residual sugar, aiming for 120 to 140 grams per litre, reflecting the richness of recent vintages - [Chateau de Campuget](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/chateau-de-campuget/): The Château de Campuget is above all the adventure of a family from the North who came to settle during the war not far from the Mediterranean... in the Costières de Nîmes.

It all began when Tommaso Schiavoni Tafuri, a wealthy landowner from Manduria, married Countess Sabini of Altamura. As part of her dowry, the Countess brought Primitivo grape cuttings, which were planted in the fertile Conca D’Oro region of Cuturi. These cuttings thrived, producing a more alcoholic and full-bodied wine compared to other Apulian wines, earning the name Primitivo due to its early ripening. Over the years, Masseria Cuturi has been dedicated to excellence, incorporating new technologies and earning numerous awards. The estate, now managed by the Rossi-Chauvenet family, spans 270 hectares and includes vineyards, ancient olive trees, and archaeological sites. Today, the family continues to produce high-quality organic wines, preserving the legacy and traditions of this historic estate - [De Bortoli Wines](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/producer/de-bortoli-wines/): Our philosophy is that great wine begins in the vineyard and should reflect the region where the grapes that made it are grown. Achieving this must involve both vineyard and winery. In the vineyard, it means thoughtful site selection, vine maturity and a move towards sustainable, biological farming practices that deliver exceptional fruit quality and real environmental benefits. It also involves an increasing embrace of single vineyard wines. In the winery, it’s all about restraint, minimal interference and allowing the wine to ‘make itself’. With our winemaking, the mantra “it’s harder to do nothing” expresses our approach. Chief winemaker Steve Webber believes that to make wines of “detail, texture and minerality, charm and interest” it has to be about “site and season”. “Character and personality in wine comes from the imperfections of nature,” he says. ## Tags -

This prestigious zone, located in the province of Teramo in the Abruzzo region, has been honored with DOCG status, a testament to the quality and distinctiveness of its wines. The landscape is a tapestry of meticulously manicured vineyards, where the unique soil structure and a favorable microclimate nurture the vines. The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane is the jewel in the crown of this appellation, requiring a minimum of 90 percent Montepulciano grapes, with the option to blend in up to 10 percent Sangiovese. The wines from Colline Teramane are celebrated for their robust character, yet they possess an elegant and velvety texture that is both muscular and earthy. With a mandatory aging process of at least two years, including one year in oak barrels and six months in the bottle, these wines develop a unique organoleptic profile that is often highlighted by their powerful but not overly tannic nature. - [Condrieu](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/condrieu/): Tucked away in the northern reaches of France’s Rhone Valley, the Condrieu appellation is a hidden gem that has been producing wine since Roman times. This prestigious AOC, established in 1940, is exclusively dedicated to the white Viognier grape, which is believed to have originated in this very region1. The vineyards of Condrieu cling to steep slopes on the right bank of the Rhône River, across seven communes including Limony, Chavanay, Malleval, Saint-Michel-sur-Rhône, Saint-Pierre-de Boeuf, Vérin, and Condrieu itself. The soil here is predominantly gneiss, a metamorphic rock that imparts a unique minerality to the wines. Condrieu’s wines are renowned for their aromatic intensity, with a bouquet that often includes notes of apricot, peaches, violets, and a hint of spice. The palate is equally enchanting, offering a silky texture and a balance between lush fruit and refreshing acidity. These wines can range from dry to sweet, with some producers also crafting rare late-harvest versions - [Cornas](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/cornas/): In the heart of France’s northern Rhone Valley, the Cornas appellation emerges as a storied wine region with a legacy that dates back to Roman times. Established as an AOC in 1938, Cornas is exclusively dedicated to robust, red wines made from the Syrah grape. The name “Cornas” derives from the Celtic word for “burnt earth,” reflecting the sun-drenched, steep granite slopes where the vines are meticulously terraced. This small appellation, covering just 114 hectares, is protected from the harsh ‘le mistral’ winds, allowing it to be often the first in the north to begin harvest. Cornas wines are known for their power and longevity, traditionally requiring years of aging to reveal their full potential. However, a modern, fruit-forward style has emerged, championed by winemakers like Jean-Luc Colombo. These wines still retain the classic Cornas character—dark, rich, and full-bodied, with ripe tannins and flavors of blackberry, spice, and mint. - [Cornwall](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/cornwall/): Cornwall is a wine region located in the southwestern part of the United Kingdom. Nestled at the very tip of southwest England, Cornwall boasts a small number of wineries that make the most of the moderating influence of the sea, which almost surrounds the county. While it may not be home to a substantial number of vineyards, Cornwall has gained recognition for its unique terroir and the quality of its wines. High rainfall and rich soils provide an ideal condition for vine grapes. However, vigor remains a viticultural challenge due to vegetative growth at the expense of grape reproduction. The cool climate limits the choice of grape varieties. Wine production in Cornwall primarily focuses on hardy hybrid varieties often found in southern England, such as Bacchus, Ortega, Seyval Blanc, and Dornfelder. Additionally, méthode traditionnelle wines (often from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) are produced, where grape maturity is less of a concern. - [Cotes de Provence](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/cotes-de-provence/): The Côtes de Provence appellation is a jewel in the crown of the French wine regions, celebrated for its exquisite wines and picturesque landscapes Nestled in the heart of Provence, the Côtes de Provence appellation stretches across the sun-drenched landscapes of southeastern France.

The Côtes de Provence is the largest appellation within Provence, covering more than 20,000 hectares across three departments: Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, and parts of Alpes-Maritime The Côtes de Provence is not just a region; it’s a testament to the harmony between nature and human craftsmanship, where each bottle of wine is a narrative of its terroir, a blend of tradition and innovation, and a sip of the Provencal sun - [Cour-Cheverny](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/cour-cheverny/) - [DO Vinho](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/do-vinho/): Vinho, the most basic classification of Portuguese table wine, embodies the essence of Portugal’s winemaking heritage In Vinho, every bottle whispers tales of sun-soaked slopes, ancient soils, and the passion of winemakers who honor Portugal’s rich viticultural legacy - [Friuli DOC](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/friuli-doc/) - [Givry](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/givry/): In the heart of the Cote Chalonnaise subregion of Burgundy, France, lies the charming Givry appellation, a village-level AOC recognized since February 8, 19461. This picturesque wine-producing region is known for its vibrant reds and elegant whites, crafted from the noble grapes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay The terroir is characterized by brown soils derived from Oxfordian Jurassic limestones and clayey-limestones, providing a rich foundation for the vines Red Givry wines, with their firm structure and delicate aromatic register, pair wonderfully with pâtés, pies, terrines, cured ham, fine charcuterie, and soft-centered cheeses like Camembert and Brie de Meaux White Givry wines are best enjoyed with fish in light sauces, freshwater pike, buttery dishes, white meats, and pressed-curd cheeses such as Saint-Nectaire and Cantal - [IGP Pays d’Oc](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/igp-pays-doc/) - [Languedoc](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/languedoc/) - [Lombardy](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/lombardy/) - [Madiran](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/madiran/): The Madiran appellation, a hidden gem in the South West France wine region, is a sanctuary for robust red wines that embody the essence of the local terroir. Established as an AOC in 1948, Madiran is exclusively dedicated to red wines, with the Tannat grape variety playing the leading role, comprising at least 60% of the vineyard plantings. This grape is known for producing wines that are intensely concentrated, rich in tannins, and capable of aging gracefully over many years. Madiran’s wines are often described as dark-ruby in color, with an earthy and fruit-forward profile that matures into a complex array of red and black fruit aromas, spices, and a hint of rusticity. The region’s winemakers have traditionally crafted wines that require patience, as they unfold their full potential after several years of cellaring. However, a modern approach has emerged, with some vintners employing techniques like micro-oxygenation to create wines that are more accessible in their youth, without sacrificing depth and structure. These wines are often recommended as perfect pairings for the hearty Gascon cuisine, complementing dishes like duck confit, foie gras, and cassoulet with their bold flavors - [Margaux](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/margaux/): Margaux is a distinguished wine appellation within the Haut-Médoc in Bordeaux, centered around the village of Margaux. The appellation spans across the villages of Cantenac, Arsac, Soussans, and Labarde, covering approximately 1413 hectares of vineyards. The soil in Margaux is notably thin with a high proportion of gravel, which is believed to contribute to the quality of the wine by providing good drainage and stressing the vines to produce more concentrated fruit The unique geography of Margaux, with its vineyards more intermingled than in other regions, and the shelter provided by the forest to the west from Atlantic breezes, allows the vines to ripen 7–10 days earlier than the rest of the Médoc. This results in supple, perfumed wines that are famous for their structure and longevity - [Marsannay](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/marsannay/): Marsannay, the gateway to the prestigious Cote de Nuits in Burgundy, France, is a unique appellation that produces wines of all three colors: red, white, and rose. The Marsannay AOC, established on May 19, 1987, spans the communes of Marsannay-la-Cote, Couchey, and Chenove. The red wines of Marsannay are known for their intense coloration and a bouquet that harmoniously blends red and black fruits like morello cherry, strawberry, blackcurrant, and blueberry. On the palate, they offer a powerful and generous attack, leading to a long and meaty finish. The whites, primarily made from Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, showcase a range of citrus aromas and white flowers, with a full and rounded mouthfeel introducing a fine and persistent minerality. The roses are characterized by their tender fruitiness, reminiscent of vine-grown peaches and gooseberry, and are full, fresh, and enticing on the palate. Marsannay wines are versatile in pairing, with the reds complementing red meats, freshwater fish, fine cured meats, game fowl, and full-flavored cheeses like Époisses or Munster. The roses are perfect for summer barbecues, mixed salads, white meats, and spicy dishes. - [Medoc](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/appellation/medoc/): The Medoc appellation, a jewel in the crown of the Bordeaux wine region, is a prestigious AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) located on the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary in southwestern France.

In 2018, the Hendrick's Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, was awarded 'Gin Distiller of the Year' by the World Gin Awards in recognition of her ground-breaking work. - [Hennessy](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/hennessy/): Hennessy, officially known as Jas Hennessy & Co., is a renowned French producer of cognac, founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irish Jacobite military officer.

The Maison Hennessy prides itself on its long-standing tradition of excellence, with a continuous line of Master Blenders ensuring the quality and consistency of its products. Hennessy's legacy is deeply rooted in its innovative practices, such as being one of the first to sell cognac in bottles rather than casks and introducing star ratings and the V.S.O.P. and XO gradings1.

Rooted in the natural landscape of a unique island, our small team distil spirits shaped by our stunning surroundings and the unique character of our island.

It was the first registered distillery in the United States. Jack learned the art of distillation from a local preacher and distiller named Dan Call, and with the help of an enslaved man named Nathan “Nearest” Green, he perfected his craft. Over the years, Jack Daniel’s has become one of the most iconic American whiskey brands, known for its distinctive square bottles and smooth, charcoal-mellowed flavour. Today, it remains a symbol of quality and tradition in the world of spirits. - [Janneau](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/janneau/): Maison Janneau, founded in 1851 by Pierre Etienne Janneau, is one of the oldest and most prestigious Armagnac producers in France. Located in the town of Condom, in the heart of the Armagnac region, Janneau has maintained its commitment to traditional production methods while embracing innovation. This unique blend of tradition and modernity allows Janneau to produce high-quality Armagnacs that are renowned worldwide. Janneau is particularly distinguished by its use of both continuous distillation and double distillation in traditional copper stills, a rarity among Armagnac producers. The entire production process, from distillation to aging and bottling, takes place within the AOC Armagnac region, ensuring authenticity and superior quality. The aging process occurs in old cellars built in 1851, where the Armagnac matures in French oak barrels, acquiring a rich and complex flavor - [Johnnie Walker](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/johnnie-walker/): Johnnie Walker, an undisputed titan in the world of Scotch whisky, is a brand synonymous with consistent quality and global reach, instantly recognizable by its iconic "Striding Man" logo and distinctive slanted label. Beyond being the world's best-selling Scotch, its taste profile is a carefully crafted journey through the diverse regions of Scotland. While each colour label (Red, Black, Green, Gold, Blue) offers a unique experience, they generally share a fundamental character of layered complexity and smoothness. Expect a harmonious interplay of sweetness from honey and vanilla, often intertwined with fruity notes like crisp apples, pears, or dried fruits, depending on the expression. This fruitiness is typically balanced by a subtle yet pervasive smokiness, ranging from a gentle wisp in the Black Label to a more pronounced peatiness in Double Black, adding depth and a comforting warmth. Underlying these primary notes are often hints of spice, such as cinnamon, pepper, or ginger, providing a pleasant zing that rounds out the palate and contributes to a remarkably clean and enduring finish, embodying a sophisticated blend that appeals to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. - [Kirsty Black](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/kirsty-black/) - [Kraken](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/kraken/): At its heart, The Kraken is a Caribbean rum, widely believed to originate from Trinidad and Tobago, distilled from naturally sweet molasses. After being aged in oak barrels for 12 to 24 months, this base rum is infused with a secret blend of around 13 spices. While the exact recipe is guarded, the dominant flavour notes are unmistakably rich and warm: cinnamon, Madagascan vanilla, clove, ginger, and nutmeg, all underscored by a deep, dark caramel sweetness. Its iconic, near-black colour is central to its identity. This is achieved with caramel colouring, which not only provides the visual drama but also enhances the smooth, toffee-like finish. In the UK, the flagship rum is bottled at a standard 40% ABV. The result is a rum that is intentionally bold, smooth, and easily drinkable, making it highly accessible compared to more traditional, funky rums. - [Laphroaig](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/laphroaig/) - [Locksley Distilling](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/locksley-distilling/): Back in January 2013, Sheffield-born John Cherry started Locksley Distilling Co. Ltd from the humble beginnings of his parents’ attic. What began as one person in a spare room has grown into a team of eight, a modern distillery complex, and award-winning innovative spirits range, all operating from a restored Grade 2* Listed Building. In the hazy days of the early 2010s, the craft spirits world was yet to blossom into what it is today. After many years working across the hospitality sector in France and New York, John Cherry and Cynthia King decided to move back to Sheffield and founded Locksley Distilling as an answer to the very limited (at the time!) range of gins that were on offer in the UK. This journey began with Sir Robin of Locksley - a re-invention of traditional gin flavours with a nod to a local Sheffield character and setting up shop in the historic Portland Works complex in Sheffield. While incredibly successful, the ‘gin-boom’ of the mid-2010s meant that the distillery couldn’t sit still. - [Macallen Whisky](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/macallen-whisky/): The Macallan distillery, nestled in Scotland’s Speyside region, has a rich history dating back to 1824 when it was founded by Alexander Reid. Initially known as the Elchies distillery, it was one of the first legally licensed distilleries in Scotland following the 1823 Excise Act. Over the years, Macallan has evolved from a modest operation with just two stills to a renowned name in the whisky world. The distillery’s commitment to quality is evident in its use of sherry-seasoned oak casks, which impart a distinctive character to its single malts. Today, Macallan is celebrated for its luxurious and collectible releases, including the Fine & Rare vintage range and the Masters of Photography series. Its journey from a small farm distillery to a global icon is a testament to its enduring legacy and dedication to excellence - [Manchester Gin](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/manchester-gin/) - [Navas](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/navas/): Sat in a cosy pub in Cornwall one Winter’s day in 2018, our founders pondered the absence of craft tonics compared with the ever-burgeoning range of craft gins that were on offer. Musing over the idea of Cornish Tonic Water, the seed of Navas was born.. Working at length with Cornish distillers, they tasked themselves to perfect a Tonic that enhanced botanicals without over-powering them. In reverence of the environment that living in that part of West Cornwall inspires, we knew the recipe needed to start with Cornish Spring Water. With naturally filtered water (through the granite of Bodmin Moor) and an aim to have as many natural ingredients as possible, our journey led to a discussion with the nearby Eden Project to experiment with growing botanicals in their renowned biomes. Navas drinks are proud to continue working with the Eden Project and are donating a percentage of every sale, directly to it's mission. - [New London Light](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/new-london-light/): New London Light (NLL) is a bold collection of contemporary non-alcoholic spirits and aperitifs crafted by the multi-award-winning Salcombe Distilling Co. in South Devon. Founded by Howard Davies and Angus Lugsdin—who first met as sailing instructors—the brand was born from a desire to bring the same level of complexity, heritage, and "spirit" found in premium gin to the alcohol-free market. Rather than simply creating "watery" botanical infusions, the NLL team treats non-alcoholic production with the rigor of a traditional distillery, prioritizing a "grown-up" flavor profile that emphasizes dryness and a sophisticated, warming "bite." The brand is deeply rooted in maritime history and environmental stewardship. Its name is a tribute to the New London Harbor Light in Connecticut, a beacon that once guided 19th-century "Salcombe Fruiters"—fast-sailing schooners—as they raced across the Atlantic with cargoes of exotic fruits and spices. This spirit of adventure is woven into their "1% for the Ocean" initiative, where a portion of every bottle sale supports the Marine Conservation Society to help regenerate vital seagrass habitats. By combining this rich history with modern "liquid engineering," New London Light has positioned itself as a benchmark for clarity and quality in the mindful drinking movement. - [Patron Tequila](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/patron-tequila/): Patrón Tequila was founded in 1989 by John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley, with the help of master distiller Francisco Alcaraz. Their vision was to create an ultra-premium tequila that would elevate the spirit’s status from a party drink to a refined sipping experience. Before Patrón, tequila was often seen as a low-end spirit, primarily consumed in shots or mixed drinks. Patrón changed this perception by focusing on quality and craftsmanship. They used 100% Weber Blue Agave, traditional tahona stone milling, and small copper pot stills to produce a smoother, more sophisticated tequila. The brand’s distinctive hand-blown bottles and hand-numbered labels also contributed to its luxury image. Patrón quickly gained popularity, becoming a symbol of high-end tequila and setting a new standard in the industry. In 2018, Bacardi acquired Patrón for $5.1 billion, further cementing its status as a leading name in the world of premium spirits - [Pernod Ricard](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/pernod-ricard/) - [Plymouth Distillery](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/spirit-producer/plymouth-distillery/): The Plymouth Distillery is the oldest working distillery in England. It has been making Plymouth Gin according to the original recipe since 1793 The building dates back to the early 1400s, with the most intact part of the distillery, the Refectory Room - a medieval hall with a fine hull-shaped timber roof built in 1431, being one of the oldest buildings in Plymouth. It is thus protected as a national monument and is one of the city's most precious heritages. The Distillery buildings were formerly a monastery inhabited by the Black Friars. In 1536, at the time of the Reformation and dissolution of the monasteries, the former home of the Black Friars was put to a variety of other uses including being the town's Marshalsea or debtor's prison. It was also the first Non-Conformist meeting place and a billet for Huguenot refugees who fled France for Plymouth. ## Wine Category - [Champagne / Sparkling](https://wine.penventon.co.uk/wine-categories/champagne-sparkling/): Add a touch of sparkle to any occasion with Penventon Hotel's Champagne & Sparkling Wine collection.
