Camel Valley White Pinot Noir Brut 2018
Camel Valley White Pinot Noir Brut is a beautifully refined and delicately expressive English sparkling wine crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown on the sun‑drenched slopes of Cornwall . The region’s mild maritime climate, long growing season and well‑drained soils allow the grapes to ripen slowly, developing purity, finesse and vibrant natural acidity. Made using the traditional method and aged extensively on lees, the wine combines elegance, precision and subtle complexity, offering a distinctive and graceful expression of English Pinot Noir. Meet the Producer Camel Valley, founded by the Lindo family in 1989, is one of England’s most acclaimed sparkling wine estates. Their meticulous vineyard work, sustainable practices and commitment to traditional‑method winemaking have earned them an international reputation for quality. From their hillside vineyards overlooking the Camel River, they craft wines celebrated for their clarity, balance and unmistakable Cornish character. Production Hand‑picked Pinot Noir grapes are pressed gently as whole bunches to extract the purest juice with minimal colour. Fermentation takes place at cool temperatures to preserve delicate aromatics, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle. The wine is then aged on its lees to build texture, fine mousse and subtle autolytic complexity. A carefully judged dosage ensures harmony, allowing the wine’s freshness and mineral precision to shine. Tasting Notes Pale gold with a fine, persistent bead, the wine opens with aromas of red apple, citrus blossom, wild strawberry and hints of pastry. The palate is crisp, elegant and beautifully balanced, offering notes of orchard fruit, lemon zest and delicate red berry nuances supported by a clean mineral line. The finish is long, refreshing and refined, with gentle autolytic richness. Food Match Perfect with smoked salmon, oysters, sushi, soft cheeses, light canapés or celebratory dishes that highlight its freshness and finesse. Grape Pinot Noir
Frerejean Frères, Premier Cru Brut NV
Frerejean Frères founders, Guillaume, Richard and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, started out making Champagne for friends and family, but word spread, and they went into business in 2005. The brothers take a fresh approach to Champagne, that respects traditional methods, but leaves room for innovation. Their Champagne is now sold in hand-selected outlets the world over, but have stayed true to a small-scale approach. Their signature wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir aged for a minimum of five years, producing an elegant Champagne that embodies the richness of the Frerejean Frères terroir. Low dosage and late disgorgement mean that it’s both balanced and generous. "A delightfully fresh nose – apples, almonds and crushed biscuits. The palate has a perfectly-judged mousse and the elegance of the fruit really shines. A great introduction into the art of Frerejean Frères." Dylan, Wine Guru
