NECTAR FROM A DIFFERENT HECTARE

As if we didn’t know well enough how tiny our vineyard is, the wine this time comes from another family owned estate; of 250 hectares! Perez Cruz Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is an absolute belter.

This unique eco-friendly winery is found in the Maipo Andes in Chile and, as much as we are seen as rosé specialists, so they are considered red experts. This region, at around 500m above sea level, is considered to be one of the most sought after areas to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. As ours are, their vines are trained on a double guyot system and have a long ripening season eventually being harvested by hand. The big difference is that, in the middle bit, they get plenty of sunshine!

A bit of an ‘under the radar’ wine, this has intense ripe red fruits with sweet vanilla (it spends a year in oak), black pepper, wild herbs and figs. The palate is creamy and concentrated with enough grip for food but the balanced acidity and soft tannins are also perfect for a liquid supper watching a movie in front of the fire. Perfect wine for roast dinner. It’s vegan friendly too….

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%

Furleigh Estate Blanc de Blancs 2017 (6 Bottles) Bridport, Dorset, England

£221.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

An elegant white sparkling wine with crystalline features. Beautiful pale lemon with lots of tiny bubbles.

It has attractive floral aromas of acacia, elderflower and citrus blossom along with Sicilian lemons and chalky minerality.

The palate is crisp, dry and exceedingly refreshing with flavours of freshly squeezed lemons, grapefruit, lemongrass and salty minerality on the finish. It shows very pure varietal expression with exquisitely refined structure and definite poise.

Perfect for celebrations, serve well-chilled as an aperitif alongside shellfish canapés such as oysters, mussels or cockles. Great with flat fish such as lemon sole véronique, turbot, brill or dabs. Also good with fresh ricotta and goats cheese, or asparagus tips dipped in lemon butter or hollandaise.
