£156.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Boco by House Coren; a high-quality Charmat method sparkling wine made in West Sussex using top-quality grapes from England. An iridescent kaleidoscope of pale, white peach. Clear with ultra-fine bubbles. A taste of peaches, ripe pears, a hint of raspberry and a long, clean, citrus, and green apple finish.

A blend of 40% Chardonnay, 60% Pinot Noir, fabulous with most dishes but especially good with shellfish, charcuterie, canapes and pizza. Also complex enough to hold its own as an aperitif.

Greyfriars Vineyard Yolande 2023 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England

, ,
£90.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

This wine is a blend of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir from the 2023 vintage and has been crafted to create a light delicate, fresh but aromatic white blend that celebrates the very best of the North Downs.

The Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed with the Chardonnay formed purely from the cuvee fraction of the whole bunch press. The Pinot Gris was crushed and destemmed with a 2-hour soak. There was an addition of tea leaf tannins to the tank fermented wine to reduce the amount of added sulphites. 24% of the Chardonnay was fermented and aged in barrel for six months and 10% of the Chardonnay came from our Chardonnay ‘solera’ reserve tank which we started in 2015

This is the fourth in a series of limited-edition wines celebrating a chapter in our local history and the unsung heroines of the SOE in World War II who trained at nearby Wanborough Manor.

Yolande Beekman flew to NE France as a radio operator in September 1943. Unfortunately in January 1944 her transmissions were detected and she was captured and tragically executed at Dachau in September 1944.

Astley Justinius Kerner 2022 (6 Bottles) Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, England

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Named after the German poet after which the grape variety was named, Justinius Kerner is a special edition of "Kerner". Aromatic, intense & delicious.

Made of: 100% Kerner (97% of a single tank, 2% Barrel fermented)

Tastes of: Rhubarb & Ginger compote, Apple, Quince, Ginger

Sweetness: Dry

Acidity: High, Slightly spritzy

2022 produced the ripest Kerner our vineyard has ever produced. Coming in naturally at 12.8% Abv (remembering this is a relative of Riesling), there was an intensity & complexity to this variety that we have never experienced. Spritzy and refreshing, it displays vivid flavours of rhubarb & ginger compote, with a savoury, nutty background. A fantastic aperitif, or paired with pork, fatty fish, or Japanese cuisine. A once in a decade vintage.
