Our unique aluminium bottle is designed to be returned, cleaned, and reused—unlike traditional glass bottles, which are often discarded after one use. This reduces energy use and lowers your carbon footprint with every return.
Lightweight, durable, and fast to chill, aluminium keeps your sparkling wine colder for longer. The reusable swing-top closure keeps the fizz in and still delivers that satisfying “pop” when opened.
Our packaging is made from recycled materials and designed to be reused too. After enjoying your wine, just pop the bottle back in the box and return it to us—postage is already paid. As a thank you, you’ll receive a discount on your next order.
Lost the box? No problem—get in touch and we’ll send a replacement. Every return counts.
Mallard Point is a small farm winery and distillery in the heart of Rutland. Built on the principal of practical sustainability, a small reminder to be a good guest on the Earth, cherish its resources and tread lightly, as other creatures do.
Wildflower strips at the top and bottom of the vineyards hum with pollinators in the summer. Always seen and heard are the hares, pheasants and English partridge who have made homes here, along with the migrating swallows and bats which swoop majestically along the willow lined river bank through day and night. Truly tranquil and achieved thankfully with doing little other than respecting the habitat they love.
Water is a key resource at Mallard Point and it comes from a borehole which is used for everything. From making our spirits, cooling our stills, cleaning our tanks and equipment to drinking and even in the loos. Rainwater is also collected in tanks and used in the vineyard for spraying and for the cattle to drink.
There is a conscious effort to reduce spraying at the vineyard and insecticides are not used. Mechanical weeding machinery has replaced the use of herbicides on the ground and for our new plantings we have planted cover crops of mixed vetches, legumes and clovers that enrich the soils organic matter further and provide green manure.
Planting PIWI varieties also means reduced spraying due to their resistance to Mildews and Botrytis and regular crop walks enable us to spot spray rather than blanket apply. Spraying occurs if conditions require it rather than because the vines are at growth stage and we don’t spray if the disease pressure is not there.
As the vines shed their leaves and return to dormancy our sheep tend the vineyard for winter and early spring. They delicately nibble around the vines and fertilise them, causing less damage than tractors and leaving the vineyard clean, tidy and nourished for the next season.
Our winery grape waste is utilised a stone’s throw away as feed for our Hereford Cattle, who provide manure thus completing the cycle. Likewise our distillery by-products are composted for use in the vineyard and our gardens.
These are some of the processes we practice as part of our ethics. As we continue our journey new practices and technology will be put in place as we continuously search to do better, for ourselves and future generations.
Our box is cleverly designed using recycled material, once you have enjoyed the bottle simply pop it back in the packaging sleeve and return it to us at no cost so that we can clean and reuse the bottle and box, thus using less packaging and producing less waste – and in return, we will give you a “thank you” off your next purchase.
