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

£169.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Kerner (a relative of Riesling) is the pride and joy of Astley Vineyard. Produced from vines planted in 1971, Old Vine Kerner is our flagship wine intended for sophisticated dinners, or sharing with appreciative friends.

2022 produced some of the ripest Kerner we have ever experienced - harvested at over 12.5% abv. The result is an astoundingly aromatic and intense wine.

Made of: 100% Kerner (96% from a single tank)

Tastes/Aromas of: Tangerine, Fresh apricot, Orange blossom, Ginger

Sweetness: Dry

Acidity: Medium +

2022 was very kind to our Kerner. Harvested at record sugar levels, this rich & aromatic expression of Kerner is both joyous and fascinatingly complex. The 7 month fermentation, and an extra month on lees created a luxuriously textured wine that somehow managed to not overpower the primary fruit. Enjoy on its own, or alongside rich north European cuisine (roast pork, mushrooms).

Ashling Park Estate Chardonnay (6 Bottles) Chichester, West Sussex, England

£113.00
by Wines by Cellars

SHIPPING???

From the 2022 harvest at our West Ashling vineyard, this wine opens with an inviting bouquet of local watercress beds, complemented by notes of toasty cashews, cool cinders, and ripe greengage plum.

On the palate, it delivers a delicate interplay of fresh acidity, reminiscent of crunchy nectarine, balanced by a subtle coastal salinity. The finish lingers gracefully, enhanced by a creamy softness imparted by a touch of time in the barrel.

A superb choice as an aperitif, this wine shines when paired with seafood, poultry, or vegetarian dishes, elevating each pairing with its refined complexity.

La Cantina Pizzolato Pinot Nero DOC Venezia 2023 (6 Bottles) Veneto, Italy

£99.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Settimo Pizzolato is the fifth generation of grower at the estate, a man full of charisma and innovative wisdom. The vines at the Pizzolato estate are on pebbly banks of river deposit, which are irrigated by concrete channels that were put in in the 1950s during Italy’s reconstruction post-war.  The wines always deliver simple, fresh flavours and they always deliver consistent results, whether you are enjoying them in New York, Tokyo or Seattle.

Pale ruby red colour with a slight garnet hue. Aroma reminiscent of berries, blackberry, plum jam with notes of licorice. In the mouth the wine is delicate, fruity and typically acidulous. Its light tannin gives it a full and pleasantly long taste.

12.5% ABV. Organic. Vegan Friendly.

Digby Vintage Reserve Brut 2014 (6 Bottles) Arundel, West Sussex, England

£210.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

To green and pleasant!

Like its award-winning predecessors, this English sparkling wine is led by Chardonnay grown on greensand for purity, structure and raciness. Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier planted in clay soils give texture, smokiness and va-va-voom.

Elegant, rounded and astonishingly fresh, this is a gently matured vintage wine. Drink now or store in your cellar for future to drink now or place in your cellar for future festivities.
