About Laurel Vines
Laurel Vines is a unique, low-carbon, and environmentally conscious vineyard with an on-site winery, nestled in the rural hamlet of Aike, East Yorkshire, between the market towns of Beverley and Driffield. Our vineyard sits on soils underlain by Cretaceous Chalk, a porous limestone rich in calcium carbonate, which creates ideal conditions for vine cultivation. These well-structured, permeable soils retain moisture while ensuring excellent drainage, enabling us to produce high-quality yields regardless of weather conditions.
Since launching in 2013, we have expanded both our knowledge and scale, producing over 10 vintages and continuously refining our craft. In 2022, we proudly introduced our first sparkling wine, made using the traditional Champagne method—a skilled, labour-intensive process our team mastered through dedicated training and research.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We practise gentle pruning techniques to ensure vine longevity and use organic pest and fertiliser treatments to minimise reliance on agrochemicals. Managing every step of production, from grape harvest to bottling, we are committed to delivering exceptional quality in every bottle.
At Laurel Vines, we take pride in our innovative approach, creating wines that reflect the unique terroir of our region while respecting the environment. From still to sparkling wines, our passion and dedication shine through, offering something truly distinctive to wine lovers.

Albourne Estate Multi-Vintage Sparkling (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
As its name suggests this wine is made of selected base wines from multiple vintages to produce an approachable and immediately enjoyable style. Others call this style ‘non-vintage’ – we just prefer the name ‘multi-vintage’! The blend of this wine will vary slightly each year in order to maintain a consistent style, but it will typically be a combination of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier and will undergo 3 years on-lees ageing.
Generous and soft on the palate, this wine is open and expressive, exhibiting delightful panettone-like aromas of sweet baked bread, dried apricots, nuts and candied citrus peels.

Leslie’s Reserve Gold NV is a rich, rounded, and approachable sparkling wine named after co-founder Leslie Balfour Lynn. As the first Leslie’s Sparkling wine to be produced, it bridges the gap between Brut and Demi-Sec styles with its slightly sweeter, extra dry character.

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Good structure with a clean finish and attractive bready, baked notes. Intense and supple, this is clean, fresh and has depth. Made by the traditional method with Pinot Noir, Reichensteiner and Scheurebe.
Pinot Noir is one of the primary varieties used in sparkling wine production. It prefers a cooler climate and needs to remain on the vine long enough to capture the aromatics and fruit flavors.
Black Chalk Wild Sparkling Rosé 2021 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Blend: 55% Pinot Noir, 31% Pinot Meunier, 14% Chardonnay
Wild Rose Sparkling Rosé captivates with its delicate wild-rose pink hue, exuding elegance and complexity. On the nose, vibrant aromas of ripe red berries intertwine with subtle floral nuances.
The palate is a delightful balance of freshness and bright fruit, with luscious notes of strawberries and raspberries complemented by a soft, creamy texture, a result of partial malolactic fermentation. This harmonious interplay concludes with a beautifully long, refined finish.
Aged for a minimum of 22 months on lees and rested an additional six months on cork post-disgorgement, this sparkling rosé demonstrates exceptional maturity and finesse.
Wild Rose shines alongside sashimi and maki rolls, enhanced by the salty tang of soy sauce and the zing of fresh ginger. It also pairs effortlessly with charcuterie boards and cheese platters. For a casual yet elevated option, try it with spicy lamb koftas, flatbreads, and a cooling burrata and tomato salad.
Blackbook “Nightjar” Pinot Noir 2021 (6 Bottles) Battersea, London, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
From a cool vintage on the south-facing Clayhill vineyard in Essex, this is a more ethereal approach for the Battersea-based urban winery's signature Pinot Noir. Freshly picked hawthorn berry, raspberry and a hint of cedar. A lightweight palate of juicy red berries seasoned with sweet herbs, well balanced and delicate with a soft tannic grip. An elegant, refined summer drink.
Oxney Estate Organic Wines Woodhouse Pinot (6 Bottles) Rye, East Sussex, England
FREE SHIPPING WITHIN UK MAINLAND
Woodhouse Pinot is a light and fruity red with lovely complexities and exceedingly moreish!
The demand for red wines in the UK is high, and we created this multi vintage wine to take advantage of those years that are very kind, providing heaps of ripe red fruit, as well as those years where it is a bit more of a struggle.
Each year we will add to a perpetual reserve, much like the soleras system used for making sherry, whereby we partially remove wine from barrels each year for bottling, then top up those same barrels with wine from the current vintage.
This not only blends the wine for a fairly consistent flavour profile, but is also gives the wine an opportunity to become more balanced as each vintage comes and goes. From tannins and acidity, to fruity notes and savoury notes. Bottled un-fined and un-filtered.
Enjoy at lunch or dinner with many different foods or all on it’s own. This delightful red wine may be a little too easy drinking!
