  2019 Aroha Pinot Noir, Craggy Range

  £7500

  A savoury Pinot Noir with chanterelle mushroom and white truffle aromas leading to a lively, pure and beautifully balanced palate with a concentrated core of red fruit.

  Aroha, a term of endearment in the Māori language of New Zealand, carries the profound essence of love. In perfect alignment with its evocative namesake, Aroha is a labor of love, meticulously handcrafted from the union of two exceptional parcels of Pinot Noir, one of which is graced by the legendary Abel clone.

  These grapes are nurtured on the slopes of an elevated terrace within the Te Muna Road vineyard, where an ancient, long-dry riverbed once wove its course. In its wake, it left behind soil teeming with the richness and nutrients ideal for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. This terroir, imbued with history and character, serves as the cradle of Aroha’s distinct and captivating flavors.

  2012 3D Pinot Noir, Clifton Brewer

  £7950

  This is an outstanding Pinot Noir from the renowned Brewer-Clifton.  The 3D vineyard is nestled between Lafond and Ampelos in the Santa Rita Hills and was the first vineyard planted by the Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton in 2007.     It is pure and elegant on the nose with expressive aromas of red cherries, candied raspberry and strawberry.  The palate is expansive with flavours of sweet fruits, tea leaf and fine spices.  Lovely structure and precision here. Incredible finesse and purity.

  At Brewer Clifton they strive to remove the winemaker’s signature, allowing the voice of the vineyard to be the overriding expression.  Only neutral barrels are employed and they strive for whole cluster fermentation, interestingly the fruit from each vineyard is handled identically from harvest to bottling, allowing the true essence of each site to be expressed.

  They also farm with a focus of ripening the stems of the bunch alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with the exceptional Santa Rita Hills fruit. The analogy they use is roasting fish or meat on the bone, the bone offers complex flavours very different than taking it off of the bone to cook it.

  2019 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sanford

  £8300

  The Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is where it all began. In 1971 this was the first vineyard planted in what became the world-class, cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills appellation.

  Bright, ruby red, the 2019 Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir entices with aromatic spicy red fruits, complemented by notes of wet stone and dried herb. The palate delivers earthy raspberry flavours with lush, silky texture. The bright acidity and supple tannins give the wine great structure and length. To allow the vineyard to shine through, the winemakers take a gentle approach in the cellar, using traditional Burgundian techniques.

  The wine was aged in French Oak barrels (35% new) for 14 months where it gained concentration, while allowing the tannins to soften. This wine is drinking well now, but has the balance and structure to age beautifully for the next 12 to 15 years.

  Hommage au Pinot Noir, Champagne Henri Giraud *Gift Box*

  £8350

  ​Hommage au Pinot Noir by Champagne Henri Giraud is a distinguished cuvée that pays tribute to the house’s deep-rooted history and the emblematic Pinot Noir grape of Aÿ. The Giraud-Hémart family has cultivated vines in Aÿ since 1625, making it one of the oldest Champagne houses still managed by its founding family. This wine honours François Hémart, an ancestor of the Giraud family, reflecting the family’s enduring legacy in the region.

  In the glass, Hommage au Pinot Noir reveals a radiant golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and complex, opening with vibrant aromas of ripe orchard fruit, candied citrus peel, and toasted brioche. Layers of apricot skin, grapefruit, and subtle notes of salted almonds and crushed stones reflect both power and precision. On the palate, the wine is structured and textural, offering a beautifully balanced interplay between richness and freshness. Its creamy mouthfeel is lifted by a saline minerality and taut acidity, leading to a long, focused finish with hints of spice and dried flowers. Crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir with a portion of perpetual reserve wine, this Blanc de Noirs is both a celebration of terroir and a tribute to the artistry of the Giraud family.

  Dame Jane Rose, Champagne Henri Giraud *Gift Box*

  £8850

  Dame Jane Rosé is a striking and elegant expression of Champagne Henri Giraud’s deep connection to Pinot Noir and its Aÿ Grand Cru terroir. Named in tribute to the traditional terracotta amphorae (known as “Dame-Jane” in French) used in its ageing, this rosé stands apart for its purity, texture, and unique approach to maturation.

  Sourced exclusively from the historic chalk and clay-rich vineyards of Aÿ, this cuvée is composed predominantly of Pinot Noir, with a small portion of Chardonnay. What makes Dame Jane truly singular is its vinification and ageing in terracotta amphorae, which allows the wine to breathe and evolve gently without imparting oak character. This natural micro-oxygenation enhances purity, amplifies minerality, and preserves the vibrancy of the fruit, resulting in a rosé Champagne that is both structured and ethereal.

  In the glass, Dame Jane Rosé reveals a delicate rose-gold hue with a refined and persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and graceful, with layered aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, blood orange, rose petals, and a touch of crushed herbs. On the palate, it is textured yet precise, delivering juicy red berry fruit, citrus zest, and a subtle spice note, all framed by a fine mineral backbone and a long, mouthwatering finish. Its balance of creamy mouthfeel and fresh acidity speaks to both craftsmanship and terroir.

  Dame Jane Rosé is a Champagne of rare character and charm – vibrant, refined, and exquisitely detailed. It is a tribute to ancient methods, Grand Cru provenance, and the elegance of Pinot Noir in its purest form.

  2019 Pinot Noir ‘Terra de Promissio’, Senses

  £11000

  A rich, structured Pinot Noir with complex aromas of smoky red and black fruits, roasted herbs, conifer forest and exotic spice through to a palate of impeccable balance.

  2019 stands out as one of the more exceptional vintages in recent memory. Cooler temperatures and stable weather throughout the growing season allowed for slow maturation of flavours without any heat events spiking sugar accumulation in the berries. Although 2019 also saw the devastating Kincade fire in Sonoma County, the fruit was harvested by then, so the smoke did not affect the grapes.

  The grapes come from Charles and Diana Karren’s vineyard, a couple who are incredibly passionate about growing grapes. The single vineyard ‘Terra de Promissio’ translates as ‘the Land of Promise’ and it has an ideal terroir for growing Pinot Noir. Located in the Petaluma Gap subregion, the combination of the sandy loam and Adobe clay soils, the south-westerly sun exposure, hill elevation, vine density of 5×7’ spacing and the wind and fog of the Petaluma Gap, allows the grapes to have an extended hang time.
