Chapel Down Discovery Series Pinot Noir Rosé 2020 (6 Bottles) Tenterden, Kent, England

£156.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

Chapel Down Pinot Noir Rosé is a delicate wine with aromas of cranberry; citrus; and raspberry. The texture is light and almost weightless on the palate; with a long; fresh finish.

The light and delicate character of this wine will make it a natural partner with shellfish.

Our winemaking team are continually experimenting with different varieties and styles, releasing limited parcels under the ‘Discovery Series’ label. This collection of vibrant English wines celebrates the art of English winemaking.

This delicate rosé is our first 100% Pinot Noir rosé wine. The majority of our Pinot Noir fruit is reserved for our sparkling wines, however the exceptional vintage gave near perfect conditions from which to produce a stunning single varietal rosé expression.

Melbury Vale Vermouth Mist (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England

£117.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This aromatised wine is our Dorset answer to “vermouth”! The white wine base is from our Dorset grown grapes. We bump up the ABV of these wines by fortifying with a small amount of our wine spirit distilled at Melbury Vale. We then blend with all natural extracts and lime syrup. Because of the slight fortification of this wine, it has a longer shelf life once opened. We recommend a bottle of our aromatised wine can stay open in the fridge for up to 2 weeks – but we don’t expect it to last that long! This amazingly zingy and refreshing wine is best served really chilled. You can serve it in a pitcher with ice and garnish with fresh mint, or pour into a glass over ice with Gin to create a Gin Mist! It’s so refreshing it is perfect with salty snacks as an aperitif!
