  L`Ormarins MCC Brut, Anthonij Rupert Wyne

  £1750

  L’Ormarins Brut Classique MCC is a sparkling wine that hails from the Western Cape of South Africa. It boasts a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which are harvested by hand and fermented separately before being blended and bottled. The resulting wine is a delicate balance of fruitiness, minerality, and acidity, with hints of pear, green apple, and citrus. It’s a perfect pairing for seafood, white meat, and salads, and a great choice for celebratory toasts or special occasions. This MCC is a testament to the quality of South African sparkling wine, making it a must-try for any wine lover.

  In the glass, it has a fine bead and string of pearl bubbles. Aromas of tarte tatin apple and cinnamon with a light pear drop and biscuit nuance. Bright vivacious and crisply zesty in the mouth. Tangy lime and green apple crunch with a richer, deeper, biscuit and sourdough undertone. The zingy citrus and creamy lees flavours are well balanced with acidity and fruit in complete harmony. It is poised and elegant with a lingering aftertaste.

  NV ‘Chalklands’ Classic Cuvee, Simpsons Wine Estate

  £2995

  The epitome of English elegance, this rich golden sparkling wine has enticing aromas of caramelised pear and floral millefeuille, combined with bright citrus flavours, linear precision and impressive length.

  The first release of this elegant and luxurious English Sparkling Wine was awarded a Gold Medal and a “Best in Class” title at the 2019 Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships. The 2018 vintage is equally as exquisite and as just as popular – selling out as soon as we get it!

  Simpsons Wine Estate is situated in the Elham Valley; an unspoilt seam in the North Downs of Kent where the contours of the land, the climate and the soil are excellent for viticulture. The intensely lime-rich chalk soil forms part of the same chalk ridge that stretches from southern England through Champagne and on to Burgundy. The grapes come from the Roman Road vineyard, named after the route the Romans first marched when invading England in AD 43.  They are grown on south-facing slopes, ensuring heat accumulation in the day and cold air drainage at night. The vineyard is less than eight miles from the coast, providing a crucial maritime influence insulating the fruit against intense temperature variations.

  2017 ‘The Trouble with Dreams’ Brut, Sugrue SouthDowns

  £5900

  The Trouble with Dreams is a classic blend of barrel-fermented Chardonnay and Pinot Noir boasting great purity and elegance, with lemon and apple aromas leading to a palate of delicate stone fruit and refreshingly crisp acidity. This is long, complex and absolutely delicious.

  A portion of the fruit for this vintage was sourced from the Storrington Priory Vineyard. The majority of grapes came from the exceptional Mount Harry Vineyard near Lewes, in East Sussex. Both of the vineyards are located in Sussex, sitting above the 50th parallel and are influenced by a cool coastal climate. The vineyards have east and southeasterly aspects respectively, encouraging the maximum exposure to the sun, assisting ripening in this capricious climate. The soils are dominated by South Downs chalk which provides superior drainage for the vines, as well as imparting great elegance and finesse to the wines.

  2016 ‘Ex Machina 2016’ Sparkling Rosé, Sugrue South Downs

  £5995

  Sugrue South Downs is the personal project of celebrated English sparkling winemaker Dermot Sugrue.  His highly acclaimed and multi-award-winning sparkling wine ‘The Trouble with Dreams’ is stuff of legend and we think the best sparkling wine in the UK.

  This his Sugrues very first rosé, a wine named “Rosé ex Machina” because of its serendipitous conception: 2016 was so fine in quality yet so meagre in quantity that Dermot had decided to make just one wine, putting all of his fruit into the prestige “Cuvée Dr Brendan O’Regan”. Then, just as the harvest was coming to an end and in Dermot’s own words, “the God’s intervened” and he was offered some outstanding fruit from the beautiful Jenkyn Place Vineyard in Hampshire.   From these grapes “Rosé ex Machina” was born.

  Just 4,500 bottles and 200 magnums were produced.
