Coolhurst Côtes de Provence Rosé 2023 (6 Bottles) Horsham, West Sussex, England via Provence

, ,
£113.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

Our elegant rosé is made from a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, all grown on the best terroirs of the Côtes de Provence A.O.C.

Our secret blend is made to appeal. The big names in Provence have all gone on the same journey; tightening their wines up and restricting the length of the finish, whereas our recipe is considerably more ‘old school’.

The Cinsault variety gives the wine its softness, with the Grenache providing body and the Syrah giving the roundness of the red fruit which is amplified by our special assemblage.

There is plenty of upfront fruit on the palate giving a huge strawberries and cream mouthful, before drifting towards peaches and pears, finally delivering a lemony edge with incredible length and a moreish finish.

SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS.

Valentin Leflaive CV1830 Blanc de Blancs NV Extra Brut (6 Bottles) Champagne, France

, , , , ,
£361.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Launched in 2015, Valentin Leflaive was granted the status of ‘négociant-manipulant’ in 2020 enabling the company to manage the whole production chain including the purchase of grapes. A boutique winery was opened in Oger with a traditional ageing cellar dug deep into the chalk. Chef de Caves Christophe Pitois, who looks after the important relationship with the growers, is assisted by talented enologist Clément Galois. Both are from the Champagne region.

The colour reveals golden yellow reflections and a fine effervescence. The nose is expressive, with notes of ripe fruits such as white peach punctuated by brioche and toasted aromas. The attack is creamy and complex. A beautiful aromatic palate finishes on refreshing lemon and citrus notes.

12.5% ABV.

Gnarly Head Pinot Noir 2022 (6 Bottles) Lodi, USA

, ,
£149.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Gnarly Head story started with the old and gnarly head-trained vines of Zinfandel in the Lodi, which are among the oldest in California.  The Gnarly Head team has since expanded the range to include many other wines, all sourced from some of the best vineyards in California. All the wines are marked by the signature Gnarly house style which is big, juicy and deliciously drinkable.

This Pinot Noir offers enticing aromas of black cherry, plum jam, roasted coffee beans, and spice. On the palate, a rich blend of raspberry, red currant, and ripe plum is complemented by subtle vanilla notes. Silky tannins and bright fruit create a harmonious profile, making this wine a perfect match for mushrooms or grilled meats.

Yotes Court ‘Hands and Heels’ Pinot Blanc 2022 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England

,
£108.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Intricate bouquet of jasmine and cake dough, with toasted almonds and a crunchy acidity.

This 100% Pinot Blanc is an exciting wine with a complex nose of cake batter and jasmine. On the palate, white pears balance with the soft, oak-imparted, notes of lightly toasted almonds. This wine gives a fresh mouthfeel with plenty of crunchy acidity to create a wine that is elegant with great varietal character.

Food Pairing:
The smooth texture and long savoury finish make this a versatile wine for food pairing; try a glass with roast chicken or spicy international dishes. It also pairs beautifully with blue cheese and buttery dishes such as sole meuniére, or seared scallops.
