Davenport Horsmonden Dry White Blend (6 Bottles) Rotherfield, East Sussex, England

£100.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our flagship wine boasts a delicate blend of peach, floral, and yeasty flavors, complemented by a soft, broad palate. The 2023 harvest yielded a bountiful crop, carefully hand-picked after a brief delay to ensure optimal ripeness.

This aromatic dry white wine, bottled in June 2024, showcases a harmonious balance of Bacchus, Ortega, Faber, Siegerrebe, and Huxelrebe grape varieties. With 11% alcohol and no added yeast, the wine's natural fruit aromas (hedgerow, citrus, elderflower) will continue to evolve over time.

Aged in large foudres, 10% of the blend adds a silky texture and creamy structure, without imparting oak flavors. Enjoy this elegant wine in its youth or cellar for a few years.

Coolhurst Viña Echeverría Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc (6 Bottles) Horsham, West Sussex, England via Valle de Curicó, Chile

£80.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED

NECTAR FROM A DIFFERENT HECTARE

This heavenly wine is made by one of my fabulous wine-buddies, Roberto Echeverría and the jazzy new label is designed by his English wife Julia who grew up down the road from Coolhurst in Copthorne!

The grapes for this wine are grown in a single vineyard in the Entre Cordilleras area of the Curicó Valley, at an altitude of 243 metres. Situated on the 35th parallel south, between the towering Andes Mountains and the cool Pacific Ocean, the cooling influence of the oceanic breeze allows the grapes to achieve outstanding fruit aromas and exceptional colour concentration. The rows are planted in an east-westerly direction, to maximise the sun’s exposure.

This is an absolute cracker and incredible value for money! This concentrated golden wine has a complex nose of mature peaches, apricots and honey, with notes of quince jam and creamy honeyed flavours enlivened by a good level of acidity. Rich, intense and full bodied, with a long and elegant finish. Serve nice and cold!

Château du Cèdre Marcel Malbec 2023 (6 Bottles) South West, France

The Verhaeghe family have been making wine in the Lot since the 1950s. Today it is Pascal and Jean-Marc in charge of the domaine, which is certified organic. They own three parcels of vineyards, the largest of which is 12.5 acres with stony calcareous clay which is called `Tran`, which plays an important role retaining heat and moisture. Drawing on his winemaking experience from California to Burgundy.

A deep, dark red hue sets the stage for a wine with an intense yet elegant blackcurrant, plum and cedar aromas. On the palate, it is wonderfully smooth and round, delivering vibrant dark fruit flavours with exceptional intensity combining with spice and oak.

Westwell Pelegrim Sparkling NV (6 Bottles) Westwell, Kent, England

£186.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Pelegrim means Pilgrim in middle English (circa 12th century) and recognises the history of our forbears who walked the Pilgrim's Way above our vineyard for centuries on their final leg to Canterbury.

Pelegrim NV is a traditional bottle-fermented sparkling wine that is made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay with reserve wines from previous vintages to give further complexity and a consistent extra dry non-vintage style. The wines are lees-aged in bottle for 36 months to give depth and biscuity aromas which only bottle-fermentation can deliver.
