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

£330.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This blend replaces our highly successful Ditchling Reserve. Using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir Précoce, the wine has been longer in reserve and a large proportion has been barrel aged before bottling. Long aging on the lees has ensured a rich, but still fruity balance. Also awarded a gold medal at the 2021 International Wines & Spirits Competition; the judges commented “Stunning nose of honeycomb, bruised apple and brioche – like a fine dessert with apple four ways. It has lovely poise, classy and complex all held in perfect poise by the bright quintessentially English acidity”.

Heppington Pinot Noir 2023 (6 Bottles) Canterbury, Kent, England

£113.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

From our boutique family vineyard, our Pinot Noir offers a hint of oaky savouriness with bright notes of raspberry sorbet and a cherry finish

This is a versatile English red wine that gets along amicably with a wide variety of dishes. In particular, this Pinot will pair perfectly with rich, earthy flavours. Enjoy with slow-cooked duck ragu and pappardelle, or a risotto of wild mushrooms. It also compliments black truffle rather terrifically too!

Dropmore Ortega (6 Bottles) Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England

£114.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Soft rounded full dry white wine, aged in French oak barrels, produced from Ortega and Chardonnay grapes grown in Dropmore Vineyard. Delicate vanilla aromas with hints of butterscotch and honey, plenty of character. Good ageing potential.

Ortega is a lesser-known grape variety in the UK, but gaining in popularity among those who have ‘’discovered” it! Named after Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gaffet, Ortega is a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe grapes.
