Hanwell Eglantine Mead (6 Bottles) Hickling Pastures, Nottinghamshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Eglantine Mead has a reputation for being one of the most authentic honey drinks in the country. It has a rich honey nose, a smooth feel on the palate and the delicious lingering flavour. Made only from honey, water and yeast, it’s a decadent accompaniment to dessert. Drink anytime; especially loved by re-enactors! Keeps exceptionally well once opened.
From our parent vineyard – Eglantine Vineyard in Nottinghamshire – this is simply made using honey collected from the bee hives on the vineyard.
Lyme Bay Traditional Mead (6 Bottles) Axminster, Devon, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A sweet, full-flavoured mead with rich, deep honey flavours and a moreish honeycomb finish. A great accompaniment to strong cheeses and full-flavoured casseroles.
Often referred to as the “Nectar of the Gods”, the golden drink has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, with the demand from people eager to buy mead reaching new heights, which has certainly kept us busy!
Here at Lyme Bay, we have been perfecting our award-winning meads for over 25 years now and often experiment with new and bold flavours to push the boundaries of what is possible with mead.
Ridgeview Bloomsbury NV (6 Bottles) Ditchling Common, East Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Official wine served for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Ridgeview’s signature blend Bloomsbury is light golden in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. Citrus fruit aromas with hints of melon and honey.
Chardonnay dominance brings finesse, along with crisp freshness. The Pinots add depth and character leading to a beautifully balanced finish. Ridgeview Bloomsbury will age gracefully over time as the Chardonnay matures.
Ridgeview Oak Reserve (6 Bottles) Ditchling Common, East Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
The late-disgorged sibling to our original Oak Reserve. Extended lees ageing has mellowed and integrated the oak element, while enhancing complexity. A captivating wine, delivering both luxury and impeccable precision.
Small parcels of our home vineyard Chardonnay were carefully selected across three exceptional vintages and gently pressed in whole bunches. Predominantly barrel fermented in a combination of old and new, toasted
Burgundy and Loire oak barrels, a small selection of base wines also underwent malolactic conversion. Following secondary bottle fermentation in our naturally cool, underground cellars, our second-release Oak Reserve then spent 60 months on lees before disgorging, with six months on cork to complete its journey.
The Grange The White From White 2018 (6 Bottles) Alresford, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Golden yellow in colour, the nose is luxuriously rich and toasty with aromas of baked orchard and citrus fruits, reminiscent of caramelised tarte tatin. The ripe chardonnay from the endless summer of 2018 blends seamlessly with autolytic pastry notes formed over 5 years of lees ageing in bottle. On the palate, the wine is full of ripe citrus fruit with a backbone of crisp, mineral acidity holding everything together.
A slight salinity and pithiness in the mouth makes this wine perfect for enjoying with seafood such as oysters or even good old fish and chips. Drink from now or leave under cork for the next couple of years and let the wine become even toastier and more opulent.
