Catherine Marshall Chenin Blanc Fermented in Clay 2023
This Chenin Blanc is meticulously grown in the cool Elgin Valley, with a small portion sourced from old bush vines in Stellenbosch. The wine is fermented in hand-crafted clay amphorae and neutral oak, creating a beautifully layered profile with fresh yellow stone fruit, delicate white floral notes, and flinty, wet-stone tension that lends balance and structure. Vineyard & Terroir Sourced from the Kogelberg Biosphere and Stellenbosch, the vineyards provide a cool climate and diverse soils that enhance aromatic complexity and freshness. Winemaking After careful sorting, the grapes are partially crushed and fermented in clay amphorae and neutral oak. Partial malolactic fermentation in oak preserves the flinty, fresh character, while the amphora component retains vibrant acidity. The two components are blended after 11 months of maturation before bottling. Tasting Notes Bright yellow stone fruit aromas with floral accents and a flinty, mineral-driven palate. Elegant, balanced, and layered, with a fresh, harmonious finish. Food Pairing Pairs well with seafood, grilled chicken, light salads, and creamy vegetable dishes.

Domaine Amelie et Charles Sparr, Sensation Pinot Gris 2022
Special Offer: Spend £250 or more for a 10% discount The Sparr family have been making wine in Alsace since 1680, and this Sensation Pinot Gris shows exactly why they've lasted so long. From vineyards around Riquewihr, this is Alsace Pinot Gris as it should be: rich without being heavy, expressive without losing its elegant backbone. The 2022 vintage delivers ripe pear and white peach flavours with that characteristic Alsatian mineral edge that keeps everything in balance. We love how this sits somewhere between a crisp aperitif wine and something substantial enough for your main course. Drink now until 2030.
