Albourne Estate White Pinot Noir 2022 (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England

£118.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is a still wine version of our Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine – a white wine made from red grapes! It has a delightful pale onion-skin hue and is intense and forward on the nose with notes of pomegranate, red cherry and mulberry. In the mouth, the wine is smooth and exceptionally well balanced with bone dry crisp acidity and notable minerality. Great to drink on its own or with food.

Greyfriars Vineyard Old Vine Blanc de Blancs 2016 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England

£195.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

Displaying a delicate, pale lemon hue, this complex sparkling wine has honeyed beeswax and subtle baked apple aromas. The palate is a harmonious blend of richer and fresh fruit, with creamy apple and pear flavours and a delicate hint of vanilla on the finish from the well integrated oak ageing.

While this would serve as a wonderful aperitif, it would go down equally well with creamy, crème fraîche chicken pasta with pancetta; or with a Normandy style Moules with Cider, or lighter roast dishes such as pork tenderloin with fennel.

Review by Matthew Jukes in Vineyard Magazine: (November 2024) "[Goldenford] is fermented and aged in neutral oak, which grants this wine permission to hold itself with exquisite deportment. There are so few 'still' Chardonnays in the UK for which I use the term 'sophisticated'. I have no doubt they will come, but Goldenford is already here, and it is an absolute gem. Silky, linear, resonant and singular, this thrilling wine blows my mind at only £18! I have said it before, and it bears repeating- the wines from Greyfriars are the finest value in our land, and this beautiful wine is genuinely world-class from a taste perspective and also from a pounds, shillings and pence reckoning. if only I still owned my wine bar- would buy a pallet at the drop of a hat!"

Plumpton Estate Rock Lodge Rosé (6 Bottles) Plumpton, East Sussex, England

£91.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This rosé wine is full of rich strawberry, raspberry, plums and red cherries aromas. Youthful, fresh and perfectly poised with ripe summer fruits dancing on the palate. Light and fruity enough to enjoy on its own, this wine is perfect for sharing with friends.

Court Garden Sparkling Rosé (6 Bottles) Ditchling, East Sussex, England

£182.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is our sparkling Rosé, made with a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. Warm pink hue, frothy; dried cranberry, autolytic; nicely defined red fruit flavours, lively acidity balancing creamy mousse and good weight, nicely balanced, savoury finish with a lovely brioche character. Lovely on its own or with perhaps a few canapés, some charcuterie or smoked fish.
