Llanerch Limited Edition Pinot Noir (6 Bottles) Pontyclun, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales

£180.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

In the unusually warm year of 2022, Llanerch Estate seized a rare opportunity to showcase the versatility of the Pinot Noir grape, typically used in our sparkling wines. The outcome is the Llanerch Estate Pinot Noir Limited Edition, a testament to our vineyard's unique climate and terroir.

This still red wine, with its pale to medium colour, offers a visual preview of its exquisite character. Elevated in acidity with fine, soft tannins, it delivers a symphony of red fruit flavours—strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. This creates a smooth yet nuanced profile, perfect for those who appreciate the delicate complexity of a well-crafted Pinot Noir.

£119.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Established in 1692, Hartenberg Estate should need little introduction, as one of South Africa’s oldest wineries. With a philosophy of combining decades of experience and knowledge of the local terroir and an innovative attitude to how it is cared for. By understanding and working with nature Hartenberg ensure that their wines are unique to their vineyards. Promoting biodiversity and soil health the estate has established a culture of regenerative farming, a system that allows the crafting of wines through environmentally conscious and sustainable methods. The estate has been rated as one of South Africa’s 1st Growth producers by wine critic Tim Atkin MW.

This Chardonnay is an enchanting blend of orange blossom, subtle notes of toasty brioche and bright citrus fruit on the bouquet, all enhanced by a pronounced limey intensity. Lean and linear in structure, hints of peaches and cream add a delicate layer of complexity, underscored by a zesty citrus note culminating in a long and satisfying finish.

13% ABV. Vegan Friendly.

Astley Freya Sparkling Sec (6 Bottles) Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, England

, ,
£179.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Freya is our delightfully drinkable sparkling wine. Made entirely from Kerner, this semi-sweet (13g/L), fruity sparkling wine is made for drinking with friends, or sharing at parties. Consistently a best seller, and always one of our favourite wines.

Made of: 100% Kerner

Tastes of: Ripe apple & shortbread

Sweetness: Semi sweet (13g/L - "Sec")

Acidity: High

Time on lees: 65 months/5 years

Disgorged: November 2024

Freya is a fun alternative to traditional sparkling wines. The joyous, but not sickly amount of residual sugar balances nicely against the naturally high acidity of Kerner. Interestingly, the residual sugar in this vintage is the result of the secondary fermentation (consistently) not finishing. The result is a fantastic, but casual sparkling wine that makes a great gift, or a delicious pairing with fruity desserts.
