Amber Valley Elsa Pink 2023 (6 Bottles) Wessington, Derbyshire, England

£112.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A Provençal-inspired rosé with an unmistakably English essence, the Elsa Pink 2023 is a captivating expression of vibrancy and elegance. Its delicate peachy-pink hue evokes the charm of an English summer sunset, setting the stage for a wine that delights all the senses.

The nose is an enticing bouquet of fresh strawberries and juicy raspberries, underscored by a subtle floral lift. On the palate, it delivers a lively medley of red berry flavors—strawberries, raspberries, and tart cranberries—complemented by a whisper of white pepper for a touch of intrigue. A creamy texture glides into a finish layered with delicate elderflower and the crisp freshness of red apple.

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Rondo, Phoenix, and Pinot Noir, this off-dry rosé (11% ABV) is beautifully balanced, offering a bright acidity that enhances its food-pairing versatility. Whether accompanying BBQ pork or chicken, the sweetness of lobster or paella, or the indulgence of Wensleydale and Cranberry cheese, Elsa Pink 2023 is a true crowd-pleaser. It also surprises as a refreshing partner to Eton mess.

Perfect for leisurely afternoons, this wine’s charm is as captivating as the inspiration behind it—a tribute to youthful energy and the warmth of summer. Elsa Pink 2023 is summer in a glass, inviting you to savor the best of English winemaking.

Coolhurst Demi-Sec Rosé Vintage 2017 (6 Bottles) Horsham, West Sussex, England

, ,
£282.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

2017 was a cracking vintage for Pinot Noir. A pale salmon colour with a fine mousse, this is a off-dry wine. The sweetness is subtle, carried by bags of red fruit, cranberries, rhubarb and strawberries on the front palate, and pronounced Pinot Noir character on the finish.

The profile is a natural partner for desserts and provides a wonderful counter to rich salty foods, cheeses and even spice.

This is an extremely limited production of less than 1200 bottles. Our first release, the 2016, sold out in under 3 weeks following a silver medal at The Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships 2020! This 2017 scored 91 points in the Tim Atkin MW England 2022 Special Wine Report, described as “expansive, subtle with herbal, raspberry and blossom notes, it continues to be the afternoon-tea wine of choice!”

We are very proud to get that level of recognition.

Yotes Court ‘The Favourite’ Divico 2023 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England

£331.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our highly anticipated, limited release wine is full-bodied with aromas of blackberry and sweet spice, a palate of crunchy red fruit with polished tannins and a bright finish. Made from 100% Divico grapes.

Divico is a new grape variety in England specifically developed to create a rich, fruit-forward red wine in our cool climate. Our third harvest yielded 356 bottles. The wine is deep red in colour with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, tinned plums and sweet spice. The palate is full bodied with crunchy red fruit and vanilla toffee, polished tannins and a bright finish. Our winemaker thinks this wine is a 'bit of a cracker' with good potential to age.

This limited edition wine is hand labelled, individually numbered and signed. It comes in a gift bag with a detailed tech sheet.
