Balfour Nannette’s Rosé 2025 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England

£160.00
by Wines by Cellars

FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE

Light, pale styles of rosé have delicate aromas which can be overpowered by strong flavours. The structure and depth of Nannette’s makes it a perfect companion to summer salads, light seafood dishes or soft cheeses. Or, when the weather is warmer, serve at fridge temperature and enjoy on its own.

Inspired by our home and delicately pale to look at, this still wine blend of the traditional champagne varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay) shows just what English rosé is capable of. Brimming with delicious summer berry and a zesty freshness, from clay Hush Heath vineyards are ideally suited to create this soft, delicate dry style – the character of the wine echoes the beautiful English summer fruit orchards which inspired it. Since its first inception in 2010, this has been one of Balfour’s sold-out stars – and its release every year is hotly anticipated.

by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Amber Valley Pinot Noir Précoce 2023 is an exceptional expression of Midlands-grown Pinot Noir Précoce, crafted as a collaborative masterpiece between Amber Valley Wines and talented winemaker Jack Abbotts at Three Choirs Vineyard.

It displays a vibrant ruby hue with garnet reflections. The nose is elegant and aromatic, showcasing morello cherries, ripe red fruits, and a subtle hint of blackberries. Delicate spiced notes of allspice and vanilla emerge, layered with earthy undertones that hint at its barrel maturation.

On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, with a soft, velvety texture and graceful tannins. The red fruit core is complemented by gentle spice and a whisper of oak-driven vanilla. The acidity is well-integrated, offering freshness while supporting the wine’s structure.

The malolactic fermentation and oak ageing contribute to a rounded, harmonious body with a touch of complexity. The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of cherry, spice, and a touch of earthiness that promises graceful ageing potential.

A versatile partner, it pairs perfectly with rosemary roast lamb, game dishes, grilled pork, roast salmon, or earthy mushroom-based cuisine. Its elegance and structure also make it a delightful wine to savor on its own. This is a stunning Midlands Pinot Noir Précoce, showcasing exceptional terroir and meticulous craftsmanship, offering both immediate pleasure and the potential for further development.

A Provençal-inspired rosé with an unmistakably English essence, the Elsa Pink 2023 is a captivating expression of vibrancy and elegance. Its delicate peachy-pink hue evokes the charm of an English summer sunset, setting the stage for a wine that delights all the senses.

The nose is an enticing bouquet of fresh strawberries and juicy raspberries, underscored by a subtle floral lift. On the palate, it delivers a lively medley of red berry flavors—strawberries, raspberries, and tart cranberries—complemented by a whisper of white pepper for a touch of intrigue. A creamy texture glides into a finish layered with delicate elderflower and the crisp freshness of red apple.

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Rondo, Phoenix, and Pinot Noir, this off-dry rosé (11% ABV) is beautifully balanced, offering a bright acidity that enhances its food-pairing versatility. Whether accompanying BBQ pork or chicken, the sweetness of lobster or paella, or the indulgence of Wensleydale and Cranberry cheese, Elsa Pink 2023 is a true crowd-pleaser. It also surprises as a refreshing partner to Eton mess.

Perfect for leisurely afternoons, this wine’s charm is as captivating as the inspiration behind it—a tribute to youthful energy and the warmth of summer. Elsa Pink 2023 is summer in a glass, inviting you to savor the best of English winemaking.
