Oxney Estate Organic Wines Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Rye, East Sussex, England

£172.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A Chardonnay that just keeps getting better and better! Fresh and bright on the nose and mouth, with lemon, citrus zest and a lovely savoury salinity. This Chardonnay is a real winner to enjoy on it’s own or alongside fish and chicken dishes served with creamy lemon and dill sauces. Is your mouth watering yet?

The fruit was picked mid October, de-stemmed and pressed with partial wild yeast fermentation with over 70% in oak barrels, 5.4% of it new, and the rest of the ferment in stainless steel.

The 2022 was one of those glorious wine grape growing years. Spring started out mild and frost free. Summer brought so much sun along with the heat and drought, the clay soils loved it! Autumn was kind enough to offer a bountiful harvest and perfect ripeness for our still wines.

Artelium Blanc de Blancs 2018 (6 Bottles) Streat, East Sussex, England

£290.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A fresh, silky-smooth style of Blanc de Blancs. Lemon citrus, cantaloupe melon and proving dough fill the nose. The palate is medium-bodied, creamy textured and generous. A long finish with bright fruit clarity and a digestive biscuit note that lingers long.

A classy, smoothly structured example of this elegant English Sparkling that captures the exceptional quality of the 2018 vintage.

Made from Chardonnay with a small dash (2%) of Pinot Meunier, this traditional method of sparkling wine spent four years on the lees, giving it enriching notes of proving dough and fine mousse.

Greyfriars Vineyard Old Vine Blanc de Blancs 2016 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England

£195.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

Displaying a delicate, pale lemon hue, this complex sparkling wine has honeyed beeswax and subtle baked apple aromas. The palate is a harmonious blend of richer and fresh fruit, with creamy apple and pear flavours and a delicate hint of vanilla on the finish from the well integrated oak ageing.

While this would serve as a wonderful aperitif, it would go down equally well with creamy, crème fraîche chicken pasta with pancetta; or with a Normandy style Moules with Cider, or lighter roast dishes such as pork tenderloin with fennel.

Review by Matthew Jukes in Vineyard Magazine: (November 2024) "[Goldenford] is fermented and aged in neutral oak, which grants this wine permission to hold itself with exquisite deportment. There are so few 'still' Chardonnays in the UK for which I use the term 'sophisticated'. I have no doubt they will come, but Goldenford is already here, and it is an absolute gem. Silky, linear, resonant and singular, this thrilling wine blows my mind at only £18! I have said it before, and it bears repeating- the wines from Greyfriars are the finest value in our land, and this beautiful wine is genuinely world-class from a taste perspective and also from a pounds, shillings and pence reckoning. if only I still owned my wine bar- would buy a pallet at the drop of a hat!"

Cobble Hill Special Reserve Bacchus 2021 (6 Bottles) Docking, Norfolk, England

£103.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Taking all the typical flavours of the Bacchus grape but with a creamier finish. Aged in new acacia barrels this wine gives a greater depth of flavour that has improved with age and stands up to heavier dishes, perfect for those winter warmers.
