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.

A dry rose-gold wine, with a delicate strawberry bonbon aroma, and a fresh summer fruit meringue palate.

This beautiful pale, rose-gold wine bursts with aromas of fresh raspberries and strawberry bonbons. The palate is a medley of juicy watermelon and summer berry pavlova with a crisp, crunchy finish.

Food Pairing:
With the acidity of a white wine and the subtle fruit characters of a red, Pinot Meunier Rosé pairs well with any cheese. It will also be a delicious partner to most seafood, light salads, pasta and rice dishes.

Fourth Wave Wine Tread Softly Sauvignon Blanc (6 Bottles) Australia

£60.00

A lighter take on Sauvignon Blanc due to its earlier picked and moderate credentials but no less flavoursome. Aromatic nose of citrus, guava and passionfruit complexed with subtle dried herbs, light spice, and cleansing acidity. Elegant and refreshingly vibrant and long to finish. Pair with Goat’s cheese salad.
