Rathfinny Blanc de Noirs 2019 (6 Bottles) Polegate, East Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A rose gold hue and nose of sweet Russet apples. A mouth-filling palate of summer fruits with a long, zesty, saline, plum compôte finish.
This vintage pairs exquisitely with lamb or charcuterie, or strawberries and cream. With winter in mind, why not try baked ham with cranberry sauce or roast duck with all the trimmings.
Bodegas Lustau Vermut Blanco NV (6 Bottles) Jerez, Spain
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
During the early years, Bodegas Lustau operated as an ‘Almacenista’. The Lustau family began bottling their own sherries and exporting by 1950. In the 1980s they expanded their range and introduced the Almacenista range concept of buying and maturing casks from small bodegas to share excellent quality names and styles with enthusiasts around the world. Bodegas Lustau is considered a world-class benchmark for top-quality wines.
This pale golden-hued vermouth is a blend of carefully selected white wines, fortified with a touch of brandy and infused with a secret blend of botanicals. The nose is immediately greeted with intense aromas of dried herbs, citrus peel, and a hint of saline minerality. On the palate, the wine reveals a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, with flavours of green apple, fennel, and a touch of bitter almond. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of warm spices on the tastebuds. Enjoy this vermouth as an aperitif over ice, or use it to elevate your favourite cocktails.
15% ABV. Fortified.
