Here we have Bibo Runge's fantastic Sekt blended with a splash of red wine to create this delicious, red-rose stained sparkler. We have no idea what it's blended with. After tasting it, every suggestion we came up with was greated by a shake of the head and an enigmatic smile from Markus Bonsels of Bibo Runge. Apparently it's a closely guarded trade secret. All we know is that the perfectly judged "splash" brings just the right amount our sweet, red summer fruits to the party without masking the quality of the Sekt it's based on.

Something very different to the mass produced Sekt which makes up the bulk of production. Instead of the cheap and cheerful, Liebfraumilch in a SodaStream®, tank method fizz you see at the bottom end of the market this is something sophisticated, complex and deeply delicious.

This is methode traditionelle Rheingau Riesling, barrel fermented and with three years on the lees, making it a pretty rare beast. It's a wine with fantastic depth of flavour. It has all the elegance and complexity you would expect from big-name Champagnes, but the use of Riesling rather than the traditional French varities has left it with a character all of its own

A profusion of sweet ripe fruit with pineapple and golden apple to the fore, as well as an appealing ‘grapiness’. Touches of rosewater and honey and a delicate spiciness add character and interest. Fresh and fragrant on the palate with the fine bubbles lending a creamy texture.

Tenuta Olim Bauda

A fresh and delightfully fruity Sekt that has excellent balance from the crisp acidity. Located in far western Germany, the Mosel valley’s steep, southfacing slopes create the perfect climate for Riesling, giving the vines ideal exposure to the sun. The cool climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining bright acidity

Dr. Loosen

100% Chenin with vines grown on clay and limestone. 3 year secondary fermentation in bottle. 10-15 years ageing potential.

A vinous toffee apple - clever use of residual sugar never feels ‘sweet’ and racy acidity is present in abundance.

Francois et Julien Pinon

A classic dry sparkling wine with elegance and poise. The colour is pale straw with a steady stream of minute bubbles. It has enticing aromas of freshly baked brioche, honeyed oats, biscuit and nougat. On the palate it has a creamy mousse with ripe quince, baked apple and a hint of pear frangipane. There is a seamless integration of yeasty complexity plus balance and freshness. The finish is crisp, dry and very moreish.

Furleigh Estate

Very intense. Pure citrus sits alongside perfectly ripe stone fruit aromas on the nose which follows through on the palate revealing layers of flavour - complex and satisfying.

A deliciously light and fruity Prosecco with hints of apple and peach on the nose and a fresh, softly sparkling palate with characters of soft ripe stone fruits.

Manually harvested, the grapes are then pressed in a pneumatic press and then transferred to refrigerated vats overnight to allow the sediment to settle. The fermentation starts naturally in the vat and is allowed to continue until the alcohol reaches about 6% . After a light filtration, the wine is bottled and the fermentation goes on, generating the C02 that forms the bubbles until the yeasts are actually killed by the pressure in the bottle (4 bars).

The bottles are then disgorged to remove yeast.

Nice pink color, subtle red fruit aromas. Nice attack, with a slight foam and bubbles. Its sweetness and its delicate aromas make it the perfect aperitif or dessert wine.

Manoir du Carra

A classic blend of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo - from 35 hectares of vines cultivated on the Can Macia estate, in the Anoia river basin near Odena. Made using the traditional Cava method - the wine is matured for an extended period of 24 months before disgorgement to enhance the complex, fruity aromas.

White fruit and citrus aromas lead onto a complex palate with green apple, stone fruit and a touch of white spice. Bubbles are fine and persistent through to the long finish and gentle savoury twist.

The vines are from a combination of granite and gravel soils from the Cave de Turckheim vineyards. Rigorous selection of the best Pinot Noir grapes ensures a fruity and fresh character to this gently sparkling rosé which is made using the ‘méthode traditionnelle’ with a secondary fermentation in bottle. Dosage is approximately 9g/l and, as is the custom for crémant from Cave de Turckheim, the wine is aged on lees for longer than the appellation regulations require; for 18 months in this case.

Pale salmon in colour, it's a lovely light and fresh bubbly with a fine and persistent mousse. Strawberries and cream soda on the nose, the mouthfeel is clean, dry and fresh.

Cave de Turckheim

We'll bet that up until now you hadn't realised that you were searching for the perfect vinous match for mince pies. Well fret no longer, here is the answer to one of life's big conundrums...

Its texture and richness allow for pairing with some of the most decadent and complex ingredients which highlight the wine’s exquisite character.

Nyetimber

Light gold hue and a fine, delicate mousse. Aromas of citrus and honeysuckle lead into subtle brioche and vanilla characters. The palate offers generous yet elegant notes of baked lemon and white peach with the warmth of the vintage shining through. Subtle mineral notes accentuate the fresh, crisp acidity, leading to a long and complex finish.

Lovely pale gold and gentle, fine bubbles. Toasty, spicy and complex aromas showing wonderful development after more than three years on lees in our cellar. The palate supports these complex aromas with honey, almond, pastry and baked apple flavours. Very fine and elegant with great commination of intensity, delicacy and length.

Light golden hues and a slight silver undertone illuminate this delicately effervescent wine. Aromas of pure lemon, mineral and honey tones and a hint of tangerine fill the nose. The palate has a lively sweet lemon start set off by a crisp acidity and a very clean, pure structure. The finish is minerally and citrus filled.
