by Wines by Cellars

Intricate bouquet of jasmine and cake dough, with toasted almonds and a crunchy acidity.

This 100% Pinot Blanc is an exciting wine with a complex nose of cake batter and jasmine. On the palate, white pears balance with the soft, oak-imparted, notes of lightly toasted almonds. This wine gives a fresh mouthfeel with plenty of crunchy acidity to create a wine that is elegant with great varietal character.

With the palest of pink hues our Sussex Rosé is elegant, refreshing and very moreish. Made predominantly from Pinot Noir, our Provençal-style rosé delivers a fresh crisp minerally palate with delicate aromas of red summer fruits.

Llanerch Hâf Sweet White (6 Bottles) Pontyclun, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales

£120.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Llanerch's Hâf, Welsh for 'Summer', is a delightful tribute to the sunniest season. Crafted from the luscious Richensteiner grape, this wine's fermentation is meticulously halted early to preserve its natural sweetness.

On the nose, it offers an enchanting bouquet of sweet peach,ripe apricots, and a whisper of orange blossom. The palate isa gentle dance of low acidity, combining the richness of stone fruits with the playful taste of candied apple. Concluding with a medium finish, Hâf is the quintessential companion for a serene summer evening, offering a taste of easygoing sweetness that’s perfect for relaxation or pairing with light, summery dishes.

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.
