Sandridge Barton Blanc de Noirs 2020 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England

£276.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is the first sparkling wine in our Sandridge Barton range, and it has certainly hit the ground running, winning a 'Master' medal at the Global Sparkling Wine Awards 2023 and is one of only 7 wines to achieve this top award out of 230 entries.

Made with 100% Pinot Noir from the best parcels, it's fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts in second fill French oak barrels where it spends a further 10 months on gross lees. We bottled this wine for second fermentation in June 2021, where it spent a further 18 months on the lees in bottle. We disgorged this wine with no dosage added, so it comes in at 0 g/l of residual sugar.

Raspberry gold in colour, with delicate aromas of rhubarb, fresh orchard fruits and cooked apple. The palate is dry, with delicate tart red berry flavours and subtle autolytic characters of baked bread and puff pastry. This leads you into a long finish lifted by the ripe and fruit-driven acidity.

Ginking is a new concept that melds the botanical aromatics of Gin with the zesty nature of wine from England. Ginking provides fullness of refreshment for Gin and sparkling wine lovers in a delicious low alcohol pre-mixed beverage. Mixing the traditional with the modern in both packaging and style Ginking relates to young partygoers and traditional gin drinkers alike.

The nose has abundant herbal and fresh rose petal notes reminiscent of an English rose garden in spring. The palate is fresh, fruity, bright and zingy with great balance and length.

Yotes Court ‘Benie des Dieux’ Blanc de Blancs 2020 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England

£217.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Elegant, Traditional Method sparkling wine. Flaky Danish pastry on the nose with ripe orchard fruits and glazed apricot tart on the palate.

This elegant Traditional Method sparkling wine has seen nearly 3 years of lees ageing and careful use of batonage, developing aromas of flaky Danish pastry. The palate is full bodied with notes of ripe orchard fruits, glazed apricot tart and hints of summer herbs on the finish.

Food Pairing:
A chilled glass of Blanc de Blancs is traditionally enjoyed as an aperitif. However, its fresh acidity pairs well with light foods such as oysters, white fish and summer salads at a garden party.
