Balfour Luke’s Pinot Noir 2025 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England
FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE
Classic cool climate Pinot Noir, delicately aromatic with Red berry fruits, cherry, raspberry and spicy vanilla with soft but firm tannins.
“This isn’t just very good English Pinot Noir it’s simply very good Pinot Noir” is how our Head Winemaker, Fergus Elias, described his newest vintage of Luke’s Pinot Noir, from the superb 2022 harvest.
Inspired by our home, with flavours reminiscent of English cherries and a touch of spice. Coming from vineyards planted specifically for the creation of English Pinot Noir, this wine is rich, ripe and structured.
With our estate’s combination of the prime Wealden clay vineyards, Burgundy clones and careful winemaking, our winemakers have built Balfour’s reputation for producing some of England’s finest red wines. And Luke’s Pinot Noir is a superb example of a style which is growing in reputation and drinking brilliantly right now.
Here’s three reasons to try our new Pinot Noir now:
1. Cool climate excellence: this style is closer to New World Pinot Noir, rather than traditional French examples, but still comes from Burgundy clones. It’s the best of both worlds.
2. Lightly oaked: with judicious use of French and American barrels to add a savoury complexity and depth
3. Very on-trend: English red wine is a really exciting frontier, and this is a critically acclaimed example which is even served in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Our pairing guide: This is a light, summer fruit flavoured red. Our winemaker recommends serving this lightly chilled (just 10 minutes in the fridge before uncorking). The fresh fruit flavours and low tannins mean it will complement, rather than overpower, delicate flavours – making it ideal with white meats, roast vegetables, mushrooms and even herby lamb. Ferg had it with a butterflied leg of lamb marinated in harissa and Moroccan spices cooked on the BBQ and can confirm this pairing is also quite good

Welcombe Hills a Rosé by any other name 2023 (6 Bottles) Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Nose: Aromas burst forth with a delightful mix of red fruits. Melon, subtle peach, orange peel and raspberry, followed by delicate floral notes of rose petals.
Palate: The initial impression is delightfully fresh and dry, with a crisp acidity that balances the juicy fruit flavours. Blood orange fruit, raspberry with a lingering zesty finish.
Overall: This English rosé is a vibrant and refreshing expression of the region’s terroir. The deep pink colour hints at a fuller body, but the dry finish and crisp acidity make it perfect for enjoying on a warm summer day or paired with barbeque foods.
Fitz Sparkling White Wine (6 Bottles) Worthing, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
When we decided we wanted to make sparkling wine we also wanted to make our mark. We looked at all the fantastic offerings in the English sparkling wine category and decided to make our sparkling wine in a different way.
Using the Charmat method, a production technique favoured by many Italian and German producers of quality sparkling wine, we were able to produce a different style of wine giving a more fruit driven, easy drinking and approachable style.
Made from Chardonnay, Seyval Blanc, Reichensteiner, Madeleine Angevine grapes. Light Bodied and Dry. Fresh, Crisp, Fruity and Refreshing
