The Fells Vinothèque programme is an initiative that will see small parcels of its wines released onto the market after an average cellaring period of 3 to 5 years here in the UK.   

At the heart of this new initiative is the recognition that many fine wines sell out and are consumed within the year of their release. The new programme seeks to address this by carefully ageing small quantities of fine wine and releasing them a few years later, once they have reached their optimum drinking window. It also recognises that few businesses these days have the spare capital or cellar space to age fine wines themselves and was therefore created to support Fells’ On Premise customers by providing them with access to perfectly aged stocks.

Wines selected for the Vinothèque programme are all from the Fells portfolio of world-leading family producers. In addition to these ‘UK aged’ stocks, the Vinothèque release programme will also include occasional parcels of ‘Museum Release’ or ‘Ex-Château’ stocks where the wines have been aged in the cellars of the winery itself rather than here in the UK.  Many of these parcels when released will have been cellared in bottle for up to 10 years or more.

Terms and conditions

AVAILABILITY
The very nature of our Vinothèque programme means that supplies of our featured wines are limited.  Our Vinothèque wines are therefore available on a strictly ‘first come, first served’ basis and we recommend that you speak to your Fells Sales Manager about any wines that you are interested in as soon as they are released.

GENERAL
All prices are quoted exclusive of Value Added Tax which will be levied at the rate prevailing at the date of issue of the invoice.

DELIVERY TIMES and ORDER SIZE
For next day delivery within the M25 orders must be received by Fells order office before 12 noon – to avoid a £15.00 delivery charge orders should be a minimum of £300 net.

PAYMENT TERMS
Payment for goods supplied shall become due 30 days from the date of the invoice unless expressly otherwise agreed by a director of the Company in writing. If the Buyer does not have an approved Credit Account with the Company then payment in full for goods shall be made prior to delivery to the Buyer. If payment of the price of the goods or any part thereof is not made on or before the due date the Company shall be entitled to charge interest thereafter on the outstanding amount at the rate of seven per centum per annum over HSBC Bank plc base rate in force from time to time and until the date of payment, such interest being deemed to accrue from day to day.
