Dominio de Punctum Pomelado Orange 2024 (6 Bottles) Castilla La Mancha, Spain

£109.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Fernández family were grocers in Madrid when they decided to set this biodynamic estate up from scratch. Their objective was always to make accessible, easy to drink biodynamic wines and what they’ve achieved in 10 years is nothing short of impressive. High on a gently rolling plateau they built a purpose made winery cleverly laid out to facilitate collecting the grapes and making and storing the wine as efficiently as possible. The 100 hectares of vineyards are planted with many varieties but their Syrah, Tempranillo, Chardonnay and Viognier really stick out.

This Sauvignon Blanc is robust and bold. It has aromas of tropical fruit, bruised apple, brazil nut and dried orange rind. This amber wine is at the cross roads of a red wine for its tannins and a white wine for its good acidity.

12.5% ABV, Organic, Vegan Friendly.

Furleigh Estate Prestige Cuvée (6 Bottles) Bridport, Dorset, England

£222.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A delightfully elegant dry English sparkling wine with good potential for ageing. It has a pale golden straw colour with lots of minute bubbles.

Delicate floral aromas of hawthorne and acacia blossom mingle with nutty notes of crushed hazelnuts and blanched almonds. There are also wonderful aromas of freshly baked brioche and Italian pandoro on the nose alongside melon and ripe pear. It has delicious ripe orchard and stone fruit on the palate with aromatic coxes apple, white peach, yellow nectarine and greengage, plus a touch of zesty grapefruit, waxed lemon and Cape gooseberry.

Additional subtle nutty flavours blend with a hint of oat-biscuit on the palate. It is dry with a nice creamy mousse and slightly saline structure underpinned by a lovely acid balance giving freshness and great length which is ideal for ageing, so it has plenty of life ahead of it.

Serve this dry sparkling wine well-chilled in a flute as an aperitif paired with smoked salmon blinis with lemon crème fraîche, or herby goats cheese on croutons. An excellent accompaniment for a seafood platter with oysters, whelks and crustaceans. Also good with flat fish such as lemon sole, plaice, brill or turbot. Enjoy it with cold poached salmon served with a lemon mayonnaise dressing, or asparagus with hollandaise sauce.

Vegan Friendly.

Greyfriars Vineyard Blanc de Blancs 2015 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England

£168.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

The wine is dry yet the aromas remind us of baked apples and lemon peel, it’s a beautiful wine to drink with food and it will naturally match most fish dishes, and especially those prepared with a creamy sauce or with a hint of spice.

Tasting Notes featured in Decanter Magazine:: (November 2023) "A richly textured blanc de blancs from the North Downs, five years on lees. Yeasty mango, pineapple and banana peel on the nose. More rounded yellow fruits on the palate, seasoned with sweet spices and a touch of tannin. The creamy weight is offset by still-vivid freshness. Toasty almonds to finish."

WineGB Tasting Notes: "Deep colour, powerful nose with presence - cashew brioche and fig. A big, dense, textural wine with weight allied to power. Finishes long and fine with toasted nuts, candied lemon and spice."

The sixth release, our 2015 Blanc de Blancs is a standout wine that we are incredibly proud of. Awarded an impressive 93 points by Decanter Magazine, it featured in their November 2023 issue as one of the "Best English Wines to Try This Christmas". This wine is a true testament to our dedication to crafting exceptional English wines and makes a great gift for any wine lover.

The grapes were crushed and destemmed before fermenting. Part of the wine was fermented and aged in used oak barrels with the remainder in stainless steel tanks. Both batches went through malolactic fermentation. It was bottled for secondary fermentation in July 2016 and has matured on lees for 6 years.
