Smith and Evans Higher Plot Sparkling 2018 (6 Bottles) Langport, Somerset, England

£180.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is quite possibly the best sparkling wine that we’ve made so far. The 2018 combines the richness of our 2013 and the depth of 2011 a balance that gives the best of both worlds. The wine is pretty much equal quantities of Chardonnay , Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with 15% Reserve Wine from previous vintages going right back to 2010 .

It was disgorged in late 2023after four years on the lees. It still has plenty of room for development and will continue to improve for five or more years.

Missing Gate Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (6 Bottles) Chelmsford, Hampshire, England

£165.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Lighter than the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc with notes of citrus and a peachy finish. Pair with lime-drenched Ceviche.

Flint Vineyard Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Bungay, Norfolk, England

£199.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Pithy lemon and white peach combined with vanilla pod and butterscotch. The palate has a fleshy texture, flavours of ripe apricot crumble, a hint of cinnamon. Leading to a toasty finish, underpinned by subtle woodsmoke and fresh acidity.

Dedicated to Roy Martin.

Made from the best Chardonnay we've ever seen, picked by hand from Martin's Lane Vineyard in the Crouch Valley, Essex.

It has notes of pithy lemon, white peach, and vanilla, with a background of subtle woodsmoke and toast - all underpinned by fresh, zesty acidity.

Bluestone Vineyard Blanc de Noirs 2019 (6 Bottles) Cholderton, Wiltshire, England

£390.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

he 2019 Blanc de Noirs is an almost equal blend of Pinot Noir and Meunier at 51% and 49% respectively, with a small addition of 3% reserve wine.

It was bottled in September 2020 and disgorged in November 2023, thus spending more than our minimum of three years on lees for our sparkling white wines. It has now spent over a year on cork, which has given us confidence, after tasting of course, that it is in a sweet spot and ready to be released and enjoyed.

Perfect for your celebrations with friends and family.
