Giffords Hall Rosé 2023 (6 Bottles) Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our rose is a careful blend of elegant Madeleine Angevine and fruity Rondo which affords it a pretty pink blush.
From year to year, it keeps its distinctive wild strawberry bouquet with white fruit and flowers, but in recent years it has developed notes of raw sugar and pink grapefruit.
Hattingley Valley Kings Rosé 2015 (6 Bottles) Alresford, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Limited to only 1200 bottles on first release, the Kings Rosé 2015 is a rare gem within The Hattingley Portfolio.
Made from a small selection of the highest quality Pinots, only six barrels were selected out of approximately 200, for this super premium English sparkling.
Due to its high quality we only make the Kings Rosé in exceptional years for ripening, which means we won’t see another vintage until at least 2027 and only if the perfect conditions happen again (We’ve got our fingers crossed!).
The twin to our Kings Cuvée 2015, it has the same delicious depth and richness, with the delightful addition of fresh red fruits; summer raspberries, red apples and first-picked strawberries. Its elegant pale pink colour and fine persistent bubbles make it the perfect drink for celebrating the most special of occasions.
Pair with scones, jam and cream (in that order!) for an indulgent afternoon tea. Or as starter with parma ham, paté and other charcuterie (in any order you like!).
Suitable for vegans/vegetarians
Black Chalk Inversion Sparkling Blanc de Noirs 2020 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Inversion 2020 is a limited-edition Blanc de Noir, with only 1,939 bottles produced. Crafted from 83% Pinot Noir and 17% Pinot Meunier, this wine showcases the best of the Upper Levels vineyard, where the unique terroir lends complexity and depth to the blend. Dominated by the robust Pinot Noir 777 clone (67% of the blend), it is complemented by clones 386, 521, and 817, each contributing to its layered profile.
The wine’s character is shaped by a careful balance of 97% stainless steel aging and 3% maturation in 5-year-old Burgundian barrels, enhancing its finesse. Burgundy yeast Spark amplifies the aromatics, while a non-interventionist approach—eschewing malolactic fermentation and fining—ensures the wine expresses its true varietal essence.
On the nose, Inversion bursts with vibrant red fruit aromas, underpinned by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. The palate delivers a powerful and expressive profile, brimming with red berries, yet refined with a distinctive “grown-up” edge. A backbone of vibrant acidity cleanses the palate, creating a clean and satisfying finish.
This is a wine of elegance and precision, designed to celebrate the potential of Pinot Noir in the UK, particularly the expressive and bold nature of the PN 777 clone.
“Inversion is all about highlighting the power of the PN 777 clone—it’s got a real grown-up edge to it.”
— Jacob Leadley, Owner & Winemaker
