A refined English sparkling wine showcasing elegance and complexity, Premier Cuvée is a testament to expert craftsmanship. Aged for 36 months on lees, this wine opens with enticing aromas of crisp green apples, zesty lemons, warm honey, and subtle baked bread.

Coddington Vineyard Ortega 2022 (6 Bottles) Ledbury, Herefordshire, England

£95.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Ortega grapes ripen from the beginning of September – quite early for white grapes and therefore excellent in our rather damp Autumn climate.

It develops well in the bottle and produces wine of outstanding quality with a fine aroma reminiscent of peaches.

Not quite as dry as Bacchus, but not as sweet as Pinot.

Halfpenny Green Penny Red Blend (6 Bottles) Bobbington, Staffordshire, England

by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

An easy-drinking wine, with plums, violets and forest fruits on the nose and palate.

Serve Brilliant with grilled meats and vegetables, or pizza and tomato-based pasta dishes, as well alongside red fruit or chocolate-based desserts. Quite quaffable on its own too!

Grape Variety – Rondo, Triomphe d’Alsace, Divico, Regent

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.
