Smith and Evans Higher Plot Sparkling 2015 (6 Bottles) Langport, Somerset, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
This is quite possibly the best sparkling wine that we’ve made so far. The 2015 combines the richness of our 2013 and the crisp fresh side of 2014 a balance that gives the best of both worlds. The wine is pretty much equal quantities of Chardonnay , Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with 15% Reserve Wine from previous vintages going right back to 2010 .
It was disgorged in late 2019 after four years on the lees. It still has plenty of room for development and will continue to improve for five or more years.

Furleigh Estate Prestige Cuvée (6 Bottles) Bridport, Dorset, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A delightfully elegant dry English sparkling wine with good potential for ageing. It has a pale golden straw colour with lots of minute bubbles.
Delicate floral aromas of hawthorne and acacia blossom mingle with nutty notes of crushed hazelnuts and blanched almonds. There are also wonderful aromas of freshly baked brioche and Italian pandoro on the nose alongside melon and ripe pear. It has delicious ripe orchard and stone fruit on the palate with aromatic coxes apple, white peach, yellow nectarine and greengage, plus a touch of zesty grapefruit, waxed lemon and Cape gooseberry.
Additional subtle nutty flavours blend with a hint of oat-biscuit on the palate. It is dry with a nice creamy mousse and slightly saline structure underpinned by a lovely acid balance giving freshness and great length which is ideal for ageing, so it has plenty of life ahead of it.
Serve this dry sparkling wine well-chilled in a flute as an aperitif paired with smoked salmon blinis with lemon crème fraîche, or herby goats cheese on croutons. An excellent accompaniment for a seafood platter with oysters, whelks and crustaceans. Also good with flat fish such as lemon sole, plaice, brill or turbot. Enjoy it with cold poached salmon served with a lemon mayonnaise dressing, or asparagus with hollandaise sauce.

Balfour Skye’s Chardonnay 2023 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England
FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE
“A chardonnay for those who favour balance, freshness and sophistication” is how our Head Winemaker, Fergus Elias, described his newest vintage of Skye’s Chardonnay, from the superb 2022 harvest.
Inspired by our home, with flavours reminiscent of white blossom, thyme and fresh lemons. Coming from vineyards planted specifically for the creation of English Chardonnay.
Skye’s Chardonnay is made from Burgundy clones planted on Middle Strackney Wood and Old Eight Acre, our two warmest Chardonnay Vineyards which we pick last to maximise phenolic ripeness.
Here’s three reasons to try our Chardonnay:
1. Burgundian heritage: this wine comes entirely from grafted Burgundian vines, grown on Kentish clay soil.
2. Unoaked style: this is all about the character of the chardonnay – zesty, fresh and Chablis-like in style.
3. Lingering complexity: this is proof that you don’t need oak to make interesting wine. There’s plenty of texture from the extended lees age, battonage and full malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Note: A clean citrus-driven palate with notes of lime and melon rind. A delightful, aromatic and complex Chardonnay.
Winemaker’s Food Pairing: There’s a freshness and vibrancy to this wine which makes it an excellent pairing for fresh salads. Alternatively, it’s extra weight (balanced with the citrus character) creates a delicious counterpoint to oily fish dishes and shellfish.
