Cape Mentelle Sixteen Hectares Chardonnay (6 Bottles) Margaret River, Western Australia

£170.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Cape Mentelle journey is a true labour of love, born from humble beginnings in 1970 with just sixteen hectares of vines. Fast forward to today, and this iconic winery has carefully crafted each blend to showcase the unique characteristics of its terroir, resulting in wines that are both complex and approachable.

This wine is a vibrant and seductive blend of flavours, with a nose that's bursting with juicy yellow peaches, sweet melon, and citrus zest, all entwined with delicate hints of frangipani and honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is rich and indulgent, with flavours of rock melon, pistachio, and lemon curd that are perfectly balanced by a zesty acidity. The texture is fine and chalky, adding a sense of elegance to the wine. The finish is savoury and lingering, with a satisfying length that leaves you wanting more.

Black Chalk Paragon Sparkling White 2020 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England

£390.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

100% Chardonnay.

A sparkling wine of unparalleled elegance, Paragon Blanc de Blancs showcases the purest expression of Chardonnay from the Upper Levels vineyard. Made exclusively from premium clones (95, 121, 76, and 131), this limited release of just 3,535 bottles is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.

On the nose, bright citrus aromas intertwine with delicate floral notes and a whisper of toasted almond, hinting at its partial oak cask aging (46%) alongside stainless steel (54%). The absence of malolactic fermentation preserves the vibrant acidity (8.8g/L), complemented by a touch of residual sugar (5.9g/L) that enhances the wine’s texture without compromising its finesse.

On the palate, Paragon is a symphony of precision and complexity. The wine delivers crisp green apple, lemon zest, and a chalky minerality, rounded by a subtle creaminess from oak influence. The finish is long and refreshing, with a delicate interplay of fruit, acidity, and structure that invites another sip.

As Jacob Leadley, winemaker and owner, describes: “Paragon is all about the subtle use of oak, chosen to provide a balance to the elegance and fruit profile of the Chardonnay.”

Perfect for those seeking a sparkling wine that marries sophistication with depth. Ideal for celebrations or pairing with fine seafood and soft cheeses.

Astley Justinius Kerner 2022 (6 Bottles) Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, England

by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Named after the German poet after which the grape variety was named, Justinius Kerner is a special edition of "Kerner". Aromatic, intense & delicious.

Made of: 100% Kerner (97% of a single tank, 2% Barrel fermented)

Tastes of: Rhubarb & Ginger compote, Apple, Quince, Ginger

Sweetness: Dry

Acidity: High, Slightly spritzy

2022 produced the ripest Kerner our vineyard has ever produced. Coming in naturally at 12.8% Abv (remembering this is a relative of Riesling), there was an intensity & complexity to this variety that we have never experienced. Spritzy and refreshing, it displays vivid flavours of rhubarb & ginger compote, with a savoury, nutty background. A fantastic aperitif, or paired with pork, fatty fish, or Japanese cuisine. A once in a decade vintage.
