Kensington's Wine List
Welcome to our Autumn 2023 selection!
Our current Autumnal weather has certainly been inconsistent, but we are absolutely not complaining!
The selection below may have a few lighter wines to highlight some of the sunnier days that we have seen, but it would be amiss without some broader, more structured bottles to keep you cosy as the days get shorter and the British rain sets in!
If you are in the shop and fancy a bottle from this list, please let us know that you've seen this page and we'll offer you the case price.
We hope to see you soon!
