Flint Vineyard Bacchus Fumé 2023 (6 Bottles) Bungay, Norfolk, England

£114.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Ripe, fleshy pear and English apple on the nose with hints of violets and turkish delight. The palate is soft and textured but also fresh and crisp.

A generous length of pink grapefruit, almonds and biscuit pastry rounds off this complex wine.

The fruit was harvested by hand from our own vines and a parcel from Martin's Lane Vineyard in the Crouch Valley, Essex. To express the complexity of the Bacchus grape, we use a multitude of techniques that respect both the traditional and more novel methods of winemaking.

Balfour Albariño 2022 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England

£160.00
by Wines by Cellars

FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE

An English rarity that’s not to be missed, Balfour’s first ever Albariño release is a remarkable expression of the grape’s English potential. You’ll find a textbook zesty, citrus quality tempered by a slight saline minerality.

Described by noted wine writer, Henry Jefferies, as one of England’s “most important” wines, this new take on the Galician grape variety is not to be missed.

Three reasons to try;

1. Albariño is very much in vogue. It’s a superb alternative to fresh, fragrant styles of white wine – for those who love zesty Sauvignon Blanc, for instance.

2. Our first-ever release, this is a unique expression of the grape – and one of the only examples you’ll find in England. Taste a little bit of history.

3. Superb for summer; this is the perfect wine for the warmer months.

Winemaker’s Food Pairing: Fresh, fragrant and superb with seafood from our own shores – as a classic pairing. Or for those feeling a little more adventurous, this wine will pair will with the freshness of ceviche, and or the saltiness of feta. Alternatively, enjoy enjoy as an invigorating aperitif on a warm summer’s evening.

Carr Taylor Brut 2015 (6 Bottles), Hastings, East Sussex, England

£139.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Pale golden with subtle aromas of fresh apple and elderflower, our Brut Sparkling Wine is racy and fresh. Bottle maturation provides hints of biscuit on the nose, and butter on the palate. As with all our Sparkling Wines, it is made using the same traditional method found on the continent, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle.

However, using different grape varieties to those found in the traditional areas of France results in slightly less austere, more aromatic, fruity flavours which have proved to be consistently popular over the years.
