Brilliant clear golden yellow. Intensely flowery (violets), and fruity (apricot, peaches and citrus). Fresh and round. Rich, unctuous and full bodied. Harmonious with light acidity and round fleshy fruits. Delicate and elegant.
Dry, full-bodied, fruity, viognier-dominant white from the Rhone, fragrant with complex flavours of peach, pear and a touch of honey. Lovely on its own and excellent with shellfish.
This is a fabulous Gigondas, very powerful with ripe, weighty tannins, the whole aged in large oak foudres for that added patina. Open well in advance and preferably decant.
Its deep red hue with glints of violet unleashes a powerful nose dominated by red fruits and subtly loaded with delicate oak aromas from the barrels. On the palate, the frank and youthfully fruity attack is taken up by supple and rounded tannins.
Brilliant clear straw yellow. Powerful and complex nose. Strong notes of white flowers. Delicate oak aromas. A clean supple attack. Very aromatic finish with pears and citrus fruits. Exceptionally fresh and fruity. Round and powerful on the palate.
Very dry, racy, and firm and yet opens up with lively jasmine, spicy ginger, white tea floral notes over a structured palate and intense, mineral finish. Feels like a drive through the luscious Golden Bay.
A breezy, maritime nose of seagrass and salinity with pink citrus notes greets a palate of concentrated margarita zest, green and red apple notes with a rich mouthfeel, fine lees texture and an intense finish of breadth, freshness and further telltale salinity. Feels like a breezy walk on a sunny beach.
Sourdough aromas combine with crunchy green apple fruit to provide a wonderfully welcoming nose. The palate is fine with a lively and persistent mousse. Green apple and pear fruit characters mix with a toasted brioche leesy flavour helping to provide a complex and moreish palate. Balanced acidity and a long finish make this a very classy sparkling wine.
Henners Rose NV is made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, using the saignee method to draw colour from the grapes at the pressing stage. This sparkling rose delivers classic English red berry fruit flavours including raspberries, redcurrants and rhubarb. A minimum of 8 month ageing on the lees brings a delicate creaminess to the wine.
Pale salmon colour with a bright nose of crunchy red fruit including wild strawberry, redcurrant and cranberry. On the palate there is a gentle zing of pomegranate, raspberry and strawberry giving a great lift to the finish.
Gardner Street Classic has the classic floral, elderflower note we have come to know of contemporary Bacchus married with a touch of stone fruit from the Chardonnay. On the palate theres an abundance of red apple fruit, a touch of wild fennel with the barrel fermented Chardonnay giving mid palate weight and structure to a wine that ultimately finishes with a brisk, present acidity.
Notes of lychee, rose petal and honey on the nose are followed by a rich, oily mouthfeel leading to a long, spicy finish - superb with soft ripe cheese.
The faintest touch of smoke and the slightest lick of vanilla mingle with strawberry compote on the nose. The palate is a little smoky, too, but reveals crisp, fresh red fruit. At six years of age this wine is now hitting its stride, still with a little crunch of tannins and enviable freshness. It is ripe but elegant. The finish suggests autumnal leaves and real Pinot earthiness
