 Welcome to The Vineking!
Shortlisted for 2008 Best Small Independent Wine Merchant of the year by Decanter Magazine.
The Vineking is a very independent wine merchant based in Reigate and Weybridge, Surrey. We specialise in both private clients, wholesale trade accounts and corporate gift services. We also cater for weddings and can offer wedding lists. You might recognise some of our wines but many I hope will be new to you.

We will be holding a series of tastings this Autumn. They will be held at La Bottega - Reigate's best cafe/delicatessen, located at 53a Lesbourne Road, Reigate. Delicious Mediterranean canapés are included in the prices, courtesy of our friends at La Bottega. For more information please click on events.

2006 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc Only £120/Case (12x75cl) Thats only £10.00 a bottle!
Coming from the ex-Cloudy Bay team, Dog Point in my opinion one of the best Marlborough Sauvignons around. “Concentrated, with a ripe wash of guava, grapefruit, lime and gooseberry flavours... Mineral accents... lingering finish...” 91 points - Reviewed by Winestate (30 Apr 2007)

2007 L'Archet Chardonnay, Gayda Only £8.99
Rich, complex, elegant and balanced with wonderful texture and weight. Flavours of melon, cream, vanilla and spicy fruit with beautifully integrated oak supporting the fruit. |
|
 |
2007 Pegasus Bay Riesling £14.99
The 2007 Dry Riesling is even better, with a stoic, reserved granite-scented nose with superb definition – very Mosel in style. The palate is complex: touches of apricot, a little mango and star fruit leading towards a zesty, citrus finish that is difficult to discern as being dry. It has thrilling balance and precision.

2007 T'Air d'Oc Chardonnay, Gayda Only £6.99
Soft, round and creamy with flavours of melon and herbs and a mineral character. |

Gosset Grand Reserve, Was £39.99 Now Only £34.99
Generous, full-bodied and concentrated, this mature wine fills the mouth while preserving its fruity, smooth and balanced nature. Hints of figs, prunes and candied cherries give the wine a warm taste, the floral notes fade discretely, adding sweetness and sophistication. Exceptional flavours of Melba toast, roasted almonds, praline and lightly roasted coffee very quickly give rise to a roasted aroma. Finishes long, potent and irresistible with very fleeting hints of chestnut puree, caramel and rice pudding, and a remarkable crispness.

2008 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc - £222/Case (12x75cl) Thats only £18.50/Bottle
Winemakers Tasting Notes
Scented and summery, the 2008 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc has deliciously vibrant aromatics that infuse the tropical fragrance of fresh passionfruit and juicy pineapples with garden-fresh basil and the spiciness of crushed tomato leaves. The palate is long and succulent, combining exotic fruits with ripe, red capsicum and a twist of green olive... beautifully complemented by crisp natural acidity and a hint of lime zest.

Tiddy Widdy Well Shiraz Cabernet Merlot
Everything an Aussie red should be. Upfront fruit, soft tannins, rich, concentrated palate and a long ripe finish. But there's more to this wine, it's not that simple, there's some complexity there as well, great length and real finesse - a real beaut' mate! |
