Greyfriars Vineyard Old Vine Blanc de Blancs 2016 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England

£195.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

Displaying a delicate, pale lemon hue, this complex sparkling wine has honeyed beeswax and subtle baked apple aromas. The palate is a harmonious blend of richer and fresh fruit, with creamy apple and pear flavours and a delicate hint of vanilla on the finish from the well integrated oak ageing.

While this would serve as a wonderful aperitif, it would go down equally well with creamy, crème fraîche chicken pasta with pancetta; or with a Normandy style Moules with Cider, or lighter roast dishes such as pork tenderloin with fennel.

Review by Matthew Jukes in Vineyard Magazine: (November 2024) "[Goldenford] is fermented and aged in neutral oak, which grants this wine permission to hold itself with exquisite deportment. There are so few 'still' Chardonnays in the UK for which I use the term 'sophisticated'. I have no doubt they will come, but Goldenford is already here, and it is an absolute gem. Silky, linear, resonant and singular, this thrilling wine blows my mind at only £18! I have said it before, and it bears repeating- the wines from Greyfriars are the finest value in our land, and this beautiful wine is genuinely world-class from a taste perspective and also from a pounds, shillings and pence reckoning. if only I still owned my wine bar- would buy a pallet at the drop of a hat!"

£114.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Rudge Heath is a full bodied red wine, rich in colour with black cherry notes, lightly oaked in French barrels.

Why not try this with roasts, steaks or a hearty chilli con carne.

89% Divico, 11% Rondo

Meophams Signature Brut 2019 (6 Bottles) Meopham, Kent, England

£171.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

An exquisite and unique sparkling wine, crafted from 100% reichensteiner grapes. White gold in colour, it expresses aromas of lively citrus and ripe green apples, which entice you into a soft mousse, bubbling with stone fruits. A bright, fruit-driven palate with a persistent freshness of english orchard fruit and zesty citrus, which mellows to a silky honeycomb finish.

Feudi del Pisciotto Nero d’Avola 2024 (6 Bottles) Sicily, Italy

£139.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Feudi del Pisciotto is a property located in a rural area of south-eastern Sicily, on the edge of the Sughereta di Niscemi Nature Reserve. The name refers to a small river that flows through the property. The winery and cellars are housed in a historic ‘palmento’ dating to the 18th century. The property and vineyards were all but abandoned before they were bought by famous Italian journalist Paolo Panerai in 2005. The viticultural ideology of Feudi del Pisciotto is based on the philosophy of Giacomo Tachis, who famously proclaimed that “the terroir of Sicily allows any type of vine to be grown successfully, with the right knowledge”.

This Nero d'Avola is bright ruby red in colour, this wine offers aromas of red fruits like black cherry and cherry, complemented by delicate floral notes of violet and myrtle. On the palate, it is fresh, smooth, and velvety, with a beautifully rounded texture.
