Astley Acacia Barrel Kerner (6 Bottles) Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, England

£109.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Undoubtedly a first for the UK, this bright, but noticeably barrel aged wine combines our unique old Kerner vines with an unusual 100% Acacia barrel. Great with a cheeseboard or white meats.

Made of: 98% Kerner, 2% Madeleine Angevine

Tastes of: Ripe lemon, Gently woody & textural

Sweetness: Dry

Acidity: Medium high/High

Barrel: Light but noticeable. 3 months in first use, light toast barrel.

The inspiration for our unusual 100% Acacia barrel came from the fact that we grow Kerner. This variety is famously grown in Alto Adige (Alpine Italy) where a traditional practice is fermenting and ageing it in Acacia. Compared to Oak, Acacia is more subtle, and adds flavours of honey & flowers.

For the barrel's first use, we aged our Kerner from 2019 for 3 months, followed by several years in bottle. The result is a mouthwatering but textural wine that tastes of spiced lemon, with a gently woody midpalate. Pair with cheese, white meats, and rich fish dishes.

Meophams Oakmead White (6 Bottles) Meopham, Kent, England

£84.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This clean, crisp white wine is crafted from a blend of Madeleine Angevine and Reichensteiner grapes, lightly pressed to preserve their delicate character. Expressive and aromatic, it offers enticing notes of white stone fruit and red apple on the nose, followed by layers of white peach and grapefruit on the palate.

Bright white in appearance, this wine showcases a well-balanced English acidity that complements its soft, yet enduring finish. A refreshing choice, it captures the essence of elegance and complexity in every sip, making it an excellent companion for any occasion.
