Albourne Estate Multi-Vintage Sparkling (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England

£175.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

As its name suggests this wine is made of selected base wines from multiple vintages to produce an approachable and immediately enjoyable style. Others call this style ‘non-vintage’ – we just prefer the name ‘multi-vintage’! The blend of this wine will vary slightly each year in order to maintain a consistent style, but it will typically be a combination of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier and will undergo 3 years on-lees ageing.

Generous and soft on the palate, this wine is open and expressive, exhibiting delightful panettone-like aromas of sweet baked bread, dried apricots, nuts and candied citrus peels.

Simpsons Chalklands Classic Cuvée NV (6 Bottles) Canterbury, Kent, England

£190.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This flagship Simpsons’ sparkling wine previously won gold and “Best in Class” at the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships and celebrated its first Non-Vintage release in 2022. Chalklands Classic Cuvée epitomises English elegance, is pale gold in colour and exhibits fresh notes of crisp green apple balanced with nuances of flint.

Chalklands Classic Cuvée NV is currently being poured on board British Airways flights in Club World, marking another wonderful milestone in the Simpsons’ journey thus far.

Burn Valley Marsh Red 2023 (6 Bottles) Fakenham, Norfolk, England

£120.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A soft, fruity summer red perfect for BBQ season and can be served lightly chilled. Aged in stainless steel so no oak but does have some tannin to give length for more fresh and fruity than complex. 11%

Winding Wood Brut Rosé 2020 (6 Bottles) Hungerford, Berkshire, England

£237.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is our second release of sparkling rosé. Pressed, fermented, and bottled at Offbeat Wines by Daniel Ham, our winemaker. The grapes were hand-harvested and a whole bunch pressed. The wine underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle and then spent 18 months on its yeast lees and a further 6 months ‘on cork’. Released June 2023. This is a 100% pinot-based rosé — a departure from our first which contained a blend of chardonnay and pinot.
