Greyfriars Vineyard Sparkling Rosé Reserve 2019 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England

£138.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

Grape Varieties - 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay

It boasts a lovely, delicate pink colour with fragrant red berry aromas and a touch of spice. Fresh and fruity with rich flavours of cherries and blackberries and a wonderfully rounded and complex palate.

This wine is the perfect aperitif but will also be a fantastic match with a baked trout fillet with lemons. A real treat for a dinner party!

This is the eighth release of our best and most acclaimed sparkling rosé wine. Made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes which were lovingly hand picked from our Monkshatch plot at the end of the first week of October 2019.

Two thirds of the grapes were crushed and destemmed and soaked for two hours prior to pressing to obtain the lovely light ‘salmon pink’ colour before fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

One third of the grapes were whole bunch pressed with the base wine (using only the Cuvée) fermented and aged in used oak barrels. Both batches went through malolactic fermentation.

Oatley Leonora’s 2022 (6 Bottles) Bridgwater, Somerset, England

£90.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Made with the rare Kernling grape, a variety related to Riesling and shares it's aging potential. Our Leonora's wines happily age for more than 10 years, developing honey and orange blossom.

The 2022 vintage is generously flavoured and has a touch of sweetness. Not sweet, just off dry.

Hambledon Zéro Dosage Rosé (6 Bottles) Hambledon, Hampshire, England

£602.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Hambledon Zéro Dosage Rosé is produced exclusively from estate-grown Meunier grapes in the historic village of Hambledon in Hampshire.

Hambledon’s cool climate combined with ancient chalky soils creates an ideal terroir to show this grape’s true potential. This is a gastronomic Fizz, free from categorization, born from our winemaker’s artistry.

This is a fine example of the depth and complexity that Meunier can produce whilst showcasing an energy and freshness that can be independently served or paired with food throughout a meal.

A beautiful, vivid wild-strawberry pink with a hue of red onion skin on the rim. On the nose, magnolia blossom is followed stridently by perfumed wild-strawberry compote with hints of buttered white sourdough toast. The palate is rich and mouth filling with flavours of strawberry balanced by zingy tart cranberry and pithy Amalfi lemon notes. The texture is creamy with a clean, crisp, yeasty finish.

Furleigh Estate Classic Cuvée (6 Bottles) Bridport, Dorset, England

£184.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A classic dry sparkling wine with a refined elegance. The colour is pale lemon straw with a steady stream of minute bubbles.

It has appealing floral aromas of apple blossom interlaced with ripe melon and constance pear plus a delicate thread of minerality. On the palate the fine mousse marries citrus flavours of grapefruit and Sicilian lemon with a crystalline structure and zesty acidity.

The autolytic character is subtle. It has excellent poise and a persistent finish.
