Sandridge Barton Don’t Feed the Ponies Foxworthy 2021 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England

£96.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This delicate drink is perfect for sunny afternoon sipping. Made with wild estate Elderflower, lemon and oranges and in the traditional method, it is matured on the lees for 10 months. It is crisp, fresh and very floral and is the perfect picnic accompaniment.

This wine is part of our new Don't Feed The Ponies range of more experimental wines, a reference to a campaign on Dartmoor National Park to discourage visitors from feeding the wild horses that roam there. The source of the River Dart begins way up in the heart of the moors, and it's the river that influences how our grapes grow. For every bottle purchased from this range, we'll donate 25p to the Dartmoor Preservation Association to preserve the natural habitat.

A favourite of Maximillan Riedel and used in their masterclasses.

A unique expression of English Pinot Noir at its finest, crafted only in the very best vintage years.

With a full-bodied backbone, it balances power and finesse with a deliciously layered palate. A sparkling wine to turn heads, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from meaty mains to fresh seafood, and even rich pasta dishes and beyond.

Melbury Vale Elegance (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England

£81.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This dry English wine comes from grapes that grow at a property Melbury Vale co-manages locally. The breakdown is about 80% Bacchus grapes, with the remaining 20% coming from a traditionally German variety called Reichensteiner. Both varieties of white grapes ripen very well in the cool Dorset climate, producing crisp approachable dry wines. Reichensteiner is a light, floral grape that is perfect for blending. Bacchus is well known as the “Sauvignon Blanc of the UK” so we know Sauvignon Blanc lovers, or lovers of any refreshing, dry white wines will love our Elegance. On the nose we get bright grapefruit and elderflower aromas, on the palate we also have notes pink grapefruit accompanied by undertones of white peach and fresh herbs.

Food Pairings: one of the only wines out there that is a spectacular pairing for spring asparagus, but is also a perfect compliment to all fresh vegetable dishes.
