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

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.
Vegan Friendly.
