Biodynamic Farming and Natural Wine. Made with the grape varieties Triomphe and Chardonnay. Very low yields around 20hl/ha. Hand harvested grapes are left as whole bunch for carbonic maceration in tank. It's made by blending the juice of the new vintage with the previous vintage base wine whilst it is still fermenting. The new vintage’s juice was blended with previous vintage base wine whilst still fermenting. Primary fermentation finishes in bottle producing a lightly fizzy wine. Sweet and sour - red fruit jam and bitter cherry, with tickling fizz. Nicely crazy lightly sparkling red, with a sour cherry and red fruit jam nose, that plays out on the palate too, with a slightly herbal back-note. Great with charcuterie, chorizo, pizza or the cheese board

Bollinger has roots in the Champagne region dating back to 1585 when the Hennequins, one of the Bollinger founding families, owned land in Cramant. Before the Bollinger house was founded, in the 18th century the Villermont family practised wine making, though not under their family name. In 1750, Villermont settled in the location 16 rue Jules Lobet, which would eventually become the head office for Bollinger. In 1803 Jacques Joseph Placide Bollinger was born in Ellwangen, in the kingdom of Württemberg. In 1822, he moved to the Champagne region and began work at the Champagne house of Muller Ruinart, which no longer exists. Many other German nationals came to settle in the Champagne region. 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier.

Since April 1958 the 'Cantina Sociale Veronese del Garda' has continued its commitment to gradual, constant growth: from just 11 initial members, there are now over 200 who contribute their grapes and bring to the Cantina Castelnuovo del Garda a harvest from approximately 1,000 hectares of vineyards. The name chosen gives to the due consideration of the area from which this wine comes. The territory, in fact, gives particular characteristics thanks to its rich composition of fossil debris, typical of the morainic inland of Garda Lake. Grown in morainic hills with a soil of calcareous and clayey origin. Verona, the Scaligera city, is one of the main cities in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. Among Italy’s great art cities, its wealth of art and archaeology has earned it a place on the list of UNESCO world heritage sites. Verona is famous as the city of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, but also for its Arena: a huge first century Roman amphitheater where concerts and opera are still performed. Soft pale yellow, scents of Williams pear with notes of Narcissus flowers. Fresh and soft. Goes well with crudités and is ideal for sea and land first courses. Try it with spaghetti chicory and anchovy sauce

She is a woman that leads a double life at top speed: one week on the outskirts of Brussels, the next in Ingrandes-de-Touraine, in the Loire valley, and then back to the fold.

Born in the 1990s through Drew Dowie and Norm Doole’s frustration at having to send their fruit to other wineries to vinify, Dowie Doole came to set a precedent for McLaren Vale. The winery’s range is an exploration of this region’s terroirs and the many varieties that generations of grape growers have brought with them from Europe. A great marriage of tradition, innovation and a little rebel spirit can be found in all their cuvées. From complex Shiraz, spicy Grenache and Tempranillo blend, to elegant Chenin Blanc, their range is one of the most interesting and contemporary in the region. 'Moxie' is a really fun and fruity sparkling Shiraz which has no vintage. To maintain its characteristic flavours and qualities, it is always made from a blend of Shiraz grapes from the current vintage, and some of the 1996 base wine (79% of the wine comes from the most recent vintage, the other 21% a blend of reserve wines going back to 1996). Very deep, rich crimson in colour with crimson hue. Notes of blackberried and black cherry fruits, spice box and a little pepper that carry through onto the rich, velvety, long and slightly sweet but not cloying palate. Chill it, pop it and serve at the barbi!

For over 200 hundred years, the Loosen family have been making wines near Bernkastel in the Middle Mosel and since 1988 the maverick, charismatic and lovable Erni has taken on the reigns. Erni is one of the most likeable characters in the wine world which makes it hard not to like his wines! From the shadows of relative obscurity comes this fantastic Sekt. This sparkling Riesling from Erni Loosen’s Mosel vineyards is a top quality example very much in the minority for Sekt production. The vast majority of Sekt is mass produced wine, fermented in tank from juice obtained anywhere in Europe. This, however, is a Deutscher Sekt which means the grapes are German and the wine has been made in Germany. In this case, solely produced in the famous South West valley of the Mosel. As for the wine itself, this Sekt is a traditional style with second fermentation in bottle which is then filtered via the transfer method. This is a practice rarely used in sparkling wine production whereby any sediment is removed in tank as opposed to disgorgement techniques used in places such as Champagne. Because this is a traditional method sparkling wine, it has a deeper complexity than, say, a tank produced light sparkling wine such as Prosecco. The wine shows some light aromatics and flavours of green apple, lemon, lime, peach and apricot alongside richer buttery, toasted notes from the 9 months lees ageing. 12g/l RS Sekt is traditionally served in Champagne glasses as an apéritif. Sekt goes well with salmon canapés, bruschetta, delicious vol-au-vents or puff pastry filled with ragout fin. A good Sekt such as this one can also be paired with a light starter such as poached fish or steamed vegetables. Vegan

Italian sparkling wine is not all about Prosecco, as leading Franciacorta producer Ferghettina has proved time and time again. Ferghettina is a family winery - established in 1991 by Roberto Gatti, and run with his wife Andreina, and their children Laura and Matteo. Starting with just 3-4ha of vineyard and a small production of Franciacorta Brut, Ferghettina has now grown to become one of the finest Franciacorta wineries. Situated in the southern half of Lombardy on the edge of the town of Adro, just south of Lake Iseo, the majority of plantings are Chardonnay (approx. 70%) along with Pinot Noir (and just 4ha of Pinot Blanc for their still wines). They now have 200ha of vineyard across 11 different villages, mostly at 250-300m altitude. Each vineyard confers a unique character on the resulting base wine, giving Roberto a broad spectrum of styles to blend for each cuvée. It is this skilful blending, meticulous attention to detail and long bottle maturation that give Ferghettina's wines great finesse and individuality. The Gatti family manage 120 hectares of vineyards in six localities within the DOC. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tank at controlled temperature between 16 and 18°C with selected yeast. Tirage is done in spring time of the following year, the wine spends 24 month ageing on the lees. At disgorgement 7 grams/litre of sugar is added. An exuberant, confident and bright style - lively and very approachable with a citrus fruits and golden apple character which is at the same time both incisive yet quite gentle. Try with cold spiny or rock lobster tails with mayonnaise (Parisienne style), flambéed apricots, sea scallops and leek tart or cooked with cream!

“Classic Cuvée is our signature, vintage, sparkling wine. A taste of the sunny, West Dorset countryside, not far from the Jurassic Coast. Made from our own grapes, at our own winery, near Bridport. We believe it requires long, patient cellaring to create an elegant, fine mousse, smooth texture and rich flavours. Made from Champagne grapes, but definitely from Dorset!” Rebecca Hansford & Ian Edwards (winemaker).40% Chardonnay/30% Pinot Noir/30% Pinot Meunier + 10% reserve wine Ageing: 3 years minimum before release, including at least 24 months on lees Bottled: 16 & 17 June 2015A classic dry sparkling wine with a refined elegance. The colour is pale lemon straw with a steady stream of minute bubbles. It has appealing floral aromas of apple blossom interlaced with ripe melon and Constance pear plus a delicate thread of minerality. On the palate the fine mousse marries citrus flavours of grapefruit and Sicilian lemon with a crystalline structure and zesty acidity. The autolytic character is subtle. It has excellent poise and a persistent finish. Fantastic served alongside sushi, fish fingers, fish pie, jellied eels, cheese straws or salty chips Vegan

Hunter’s create quality wines that never cease to inspire. The grapes are picked at optimum fruit ripeness to obtain delicate fruit flavours and particular attention was placed on a good acid/sugar balance of the fruit. The wine is treated by traditional methods, i.e. no sulphur was added so subtle oxidation occurred (the reverse of methods used for treating our table wines) yet one can still pick out the strong Marlborough fruit characters. The fruit is then gently pressed with low litres per tonne extraction. The resultant juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks before undergoing full malolactic fermentation. The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier parcels are kept separate, blending just before tirage. This Non-Vintage Méthode Traditionelle spends 12-18 months on lees. The nose exhibits light yeasty characters with peach and citrus aromas. An elegant palate showing a blend of peach/citrus chardonnay components followed by the light berry fruits of the pinot noir. The mouth filling mousse completes the palate that is full and persistent. Try with blinis topped with a touch of Crème fraîche, smoked salmon, sea salt, dill, cheese straws or prawn cocktail crisps

Born in South Australia, where her father was a contract grape grower, Jane Hunter gained a degree in Agricultural Science at the University of Adelaide. Jane has been described by the London Sunday Times as the First Lady of New Zealand wine and was awarded an OBE for service to the wine industry in 1993. Jane has an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Massey University received the inaugural Wine & Spirit Competition Women in Wine Award. In 2009 Jane was awarded the Companion to the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM). A special parcel of fruit from their Bridge block was selected to make this wine. They chose this vineyard as it shows classic Rapaura characters. Passionfruit and grapefruit dominate the nose. The palate is soft and juicy with some fresh acidity.Pétillant Naturel (pet nat) translates to naturally sparkling. To achieve carbonation, they bottle the wine while it is still fermenting and close the bottle with a crown seal. The yeast continues to ferment the sugars, producing carbon dioxide that becomes trapped in solution. The wine is cloudy as there is no filtration prior to bottling, kind of like a pale ale beer. The sediment at the bottom of the bottle is the dead yeast cells that settle once the fermentation process has completed.James Suckling (Sept 2019) – “A pet nat with plenty of solids, this has extremely tangy, bright, fresh, passion fruit and pineapple and delivers as a fizzy, alcoholic- tropical fruit punch. Thoroughly decent party juice” Try with sushi, oven fired pizza or a rather large Scotch-egg! Vegetarian

Boutique English wine, grown and made in the Teign Valley, Devon. Huxbear Vineyard was planted by Ben and Lucy Hulland in 2007 on 14 acres of south and southwest facing slopes in the Teign Valley, Devon. A further planting was undertaken in 2013 bringing the total planted area to just over 15 acres. In the vineyard, minimum intervention vine growing and wine making practises are employed as well as integrated pest management to minimise the impact on the environment. In the winery, which is fully off grid with most of their power produced from our onsite solar array, they also strive to reduce their impact by repurposing and reusing equipment and stainless steel tanks, and by avoiding power intensive operations that are normally standard practise in the wine industry. Until now this has been something of a Devonshire secret, available at farmers markets and a small number of local shops, but it's so good we want everyone to know about it. It's made using the methode traditonelle and spends more than 2 years on its lees to add depth and creaminess. Blend details: 55% Chardonnay (clone 96) 40% Pinot Noir (clone 777) 5% Pinot Meunier (clones 817, 865) All the fruit was grown at th eHuxbear vineyard in the Teign Valley, South Devon on vines planted in 2007. The vineyard is planted on south facing slopes at an altitude of 75-100 metres above sea level. The soil is silt loam with granite and siltstone aggregates. The vines are planted at a planting density of 3500 vines/ha. This batch of 2018s have been on the lees for 30 months, the dosage is 12g/l. It hasn't been MLF'ed or oaked. This is another fruit focused decision as they tend to find cookie cutter Champagne copies accessible, but lacking interest. They also wanted to make something 'different' but also 'English'. The 2018 harvest story is pretty much the same as it was for everybody else. Late start, blazing hot summer and a super early harvest. In fact, they had the whole thing in the bag by the end of September for the first time before or since (6 weeks earlier than the average year). It was also the first time that they had ever harvested any grapes in August. The wine itself has a classic fresh nose of green apples with hints of pineapple and freshly cooked pastries. The bubbles are fine and persistent. On the palate it is dry and shows plenty of fresh green apple with a touch of biscuitiness. Exceptional value for a fine English sparkling wine. Fab with a mackerel bap, Devonshire split or vegan 'fish' and chips Vegan

In 1991 Will Davenport planted 5 acres of vines at Horsmonden in Kent, while simultaneously working for a Hampshire vineyard and, unintentionally, this became the beginning of a life-long business as a wine producer.
26 years later the vineyards now make up 24 acres, grown on 5 parcels of land, 9 grape varieties and a multitude of soil types and micro-climates. The vineyards are mostly at Horsmonden in Kent, with a smaller vineyard next to the winery at Rotherfield, East Sussex.
Will was always a keen supporter of organic farming and in 2000 he made the decision to convert all the vines and winery to organic systems, certified by the Soil Association.
The 2014 newly released, is made from 50% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir and 24% Pinot Meunier. With nearly 5 years maturing in the bottle on lees, it has plenty of yeast character combined with the surprisingly youthful fruit. This is a wine that will develop further over the long term but is already starting to show some delicious flavours and complexity. Fantastic with salt & vinegar laden fish & chips (don't forget the peas!) - vegan alternative is just as good, lobster in tarragon butter or chicken with mayo, basil & capers Vegan -

The Nyetimber estate counts three major milestones in its history. Its earliest beginnings saw it named in the Domesday Book in 1086, almost 1,000 years ago, when the peaceful valley of Nitimbreha made its first appearance in recorded history. (It’s believed Nitimbreha refers to a newly timbered house or perhaps a small timber plantation.) The second milestone was the planting of the first vines, almost 900 years later, in 1988, when the holy trinity of sparkling wine grapes – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – found a new home in the lee of the South Downs. And thirdly, Eric Heerema became the Owner and Custodian of Nyetimber in 2006, believing that the estate, with its ideal soil and location, had yet to achieve its full potential. Eric recruited Head Winemaker Cherie Spriggs and Winemaker Brad Greatrix, who both shared his vision of crafting the finest English sparkling wines. And since then, Nyetimber wines have gone on to achieve global acclaim, winning international awards and blind-tasting competitions, as well as being recognised by some of the world’s most celebrated wine experts. The pale-golden hue and fine bubbles make Nyetimber's flagship Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage the ideal occasion-ready drink – whether it’s toasting a big birthday or simply finishing a busy week. Following extensive ageing in their cellar (usually more than three years), their Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage has distinctive toasty and spicy aromas. A palate of honey, almond, pastry and baked apples gives it a hint of decadence. Intense yet delicate, elegant yet complex – it’s no wonder it’s consistently crowned one of the best English sparkling wines. 55 to 65% Chardonnay 30 to 40% Pinot Noir 5 to 15% Pinot Meunier A sumptuous blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Their Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage is best enjoyed in the sunshine with some freshly caught seafood – preferably with the waves lapping at your feet or with eggs benedict or big bowl of French fries Vegan

Elegant, delicate and fresh, it works particularly well with richer foods. 100% Chardonnay One of Nyetimber's most versatile sparkling wines, their Cuvee Chérie Multi-Vintage works with everything from classic English desserts such as strawberries and cream to aromatic cuisines of Japan, China and Thailand. Simply fabulous with strawberries & cream, fruit tarts, afternoon tea, meringue dishes or spiced & fragrant Asian cuisine - Chinese, Japanese or Thai! Vegan

Davenport's ever-popular Pét Nat, a purely natural wine, is fermented by natural yeasts with no added sulphites. It is a light, refreshing, slightly cloudy sparkling wine and is absolutely the perfect summer drink. The wine is bottled during harvest while the wine was still fermenting, keeping a light fizz in the bottle. It has a slight yeast sediment adding a great yeasty edge to the fruit aromas. This is a natural wine in every way and is difficult to make, so Davenport only use the best grapes available to them that they know will end up with the right flavours and balance in the wine. The alcohol level is low, at 8.5%. Grape Varieties: Auxerrois (73%), Pinot Meunier (13%), Faber (14%) Try as an aperitif or with shrimp & veggies in a light coconut green curry, charcuterie board, mature gouda style goat cheese, cured boar sausage or salty nuts Vegan
