Coolhurst Lady Elizabeth Sparkling Rose 2015
Bright red cherry and cranberry flavours that soften to creamier textures and notes of warm brioche. Delicious!

Herbert Hall Rosé Brut 2015
A very welcoming light creaminess that adds texture and contrast to the fresh, crisp red berry fruit flavours.

Gusbourne Brut Reserve Twenty Fifteen
A delicious, rich Brut Reserve from Gusbourne with lovely nutty complexity.

Grassy and aromatic with plentiful tropical fruit richness thanks to the fantastic 2018 vintage fruit.

A curious fusion of ripe peach, hints of lightly grilled tropical fruit, with a twist of lime & smoky notes.

Biddenden Gamay Noir 2018
Intense red cherry and wild raspberry flavours, with a lick of black berry fruits and a reassuring savoury depth.
