EXCEPTIONAL WINES
At De La Terre, we take pride in offering a thoughtfully curated selection of wines from small, quality-focused producers — including a fantastic range of local bottles that showcase the character and craftsmanship of our region. Each wine is chosen for its authenticity, its sense of place, and its ability to bring the story of the vineyard straight to your glass.
We are also delighted to work in partnership with Peter Watts Wines in creating this eclectic and high-quality collection. Based nearby in Coggeshall, near Colchester, Peter Watts Wines is a long-established family business. Founded in 1979 by Peter and Lyn Watts, they have spent decades sourcing exceptional wines from some of the finest small producers around the world, with a focus on delivering outstanding quality.
Whether you’re exploring local favourites or looking for something distinctive from further afield, our selection invites you to discover expressive, memorable wines that celebrate both craftsmanship and the land.
TAPAS MADE WITH LOCAL PRODUCE
At De La Terre, we take pride in offering a thoughtfully curated selection of wines sourced from small, quality-driven vineyards that value craftsmanship, character, and a genuine connection to the land. Each bottle is carefully chosen for its authenticity and its ability to reflect the unique story of its origin — from the nuances of the grape to the distinct personality of the terroir.
Our goal is to create a wine list that feels both inviting and inspiring, whether you’re exploring new styles, revisiting old favourites, or searching for something truly distinctive. With every pour, our collection encourages you to discover vibrant, expressive flavours that celebrate the artistry of winemaking and the landscapes behind each bottle.
