Jérémie Huchet Chapeau Chenin Blanc 2024 (6 Bottles) Loire, France

, ,
£94.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Jérémie Huchet is a fourth-generation winemaker making his mark in Muscadet. Having taken over the family estate in 2001, Jérémie immediately went about purchasing some fantastic vineyards (which now total 64 hectares), and is slowly converting everything to organic viticulture. His white and red Chapeau wines are young wines meant for easy pleasure, while the clean, mineral L`Innatendu Muscadet is an excellent introduction to Jérémie`s vineyards and winemaking style.

Its nose is floral and develops aromas of white fruits and dried apricot. The mouth is rich, generous and well structured. The mid-palate is round, ample and nice-balanced. The long finish has a smooth but spicy character.

12% ABV, Vegan Friendly.

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

£169.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Kerner (a relative of Riesling) is the pride and joy of Astley Vineyard. Produced from vines planted in 1971, Old Vine Kerner is our flagship wine intended for sophisticated dinners, or sharing with appreciative friends.

2022 produced some of the ripest Kerner we have ever experienced - harvested at over 12.5% abv. The result is an astoundingly aromatic and intense wine.

Made of: 100% Kerner (96% from a single tank)

Tastes/Aromas of: Tangerine, Fresh apricot, Orange blossom, Ginger

Sweetness: Dry

Acidity: Medium +

2022 was very kind to our Kerner. Harvested at record sugar levels, this rich & aromatic expression of Kerner is both joyous and fascinatingly complex. The 7 month fermentation, and an extra month on lees created a luxuriously textured wine that somehow managed to not overpower the primary fruit. Enjoy on its own, or alongside rich north European cuisine (roast pork, mushrooms).
