Yotes Court ‘Two Beat Trot’ Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
This Chardonnay has aromas of ripe melon, bergamot and apricot, a rich palate of butter and citrus marmalade, and a savoury toast-crunch finish. Balanced, complex and delicious.
In the Vineyard
Vines in Block 7 in the centre of the vineyard were chosen for our first Chardonnay. The vines are closely planted (5,000 vines per hectare) in soil with a distinctly sandy and rocky profile. This regulates canopy growth, lessening growth of both shoots and fruit. Lighter crops, from well ventilated, less vigorous canopies, enabled us to ripen the grapes to the desired quality level with minimal canopy intervention.
What's in the name?
'Two Beat Trot' is a dressage term for balance, making it the perfect name for our Chardonnay. Just like the elegant movement, this wine is beautifully balanced and complex.
Food Pairing
This will pair well with autumn vegetable dishes like pumpkin ravioli, roast chicken, and cheddar cheese.

Hattingley Valley Sparkling Rosé 2020 (6 Bottles) Alresford, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our English Sparkling Rosé is the perfect drink for any occasion. Its delicate pink colour and bright notes of strawberries and raspberries make it a truly elegant choice.
Pink grapefruit and sweet marshmallow on the palate, bring a balanced and highly drinkable quality to this English sparkling wine. With just a touch of oak ageing, it has a delightful creaminess, that effortlessly complements a variety of cuisines.
This wine is a favourite within our Sparkling Range, as well as a team favourite here at Hattingley Valley (it even turned our owner Simon into a Rosé drinker!).
Suggested pairing with afternoon tea, with scones jam and cream (in that order!) or to start your meal, pair it with parma ham and other charcuterie.
Suitable for vegans/vegetarians
