Description
The 2024 vintage is a fantastic one for Hunting Hill. Even though the yields were low, the fruit was pristine and beautifully ripe. The aroma of 2024 Hunting Hill is quite reticent in its youth, but you can get glimpses of the typical lemon/lime blossom fragrance and a touch of flintiness. The palate is concentrated and long showing the density of the low yield. This is a fabulous Hunting Hill that will show its best with 7-8 years of bottle age.
Hand harvested and whole-bunch pressed, with fermentation taking place with indigenous yeast. 100% of the Hunting Hill is barrel fermented, with 25% new French Oak. All of the wine goes through malo-lactic fermentation and spends 11 months maturing in barrel.

2022/23 Carte d’Or, Baumard, AC Coteaux du Layon, Half Bottle
Chenin Blanc
The Carte d'Or Coteaux du Layon from Baumard has a very attractive honeyed nose, with lifted yellow fruits and more golden tropical elements such as mango, guava and pineapple. It has a particularly tropical character and a very fresh feel on the palate, with steely minerality and a zippy background acidity giving invigorating tartness to keep the wine luscious and buoyant. The rounded, approachable finish has good length.

2017 Extra Brut, D’Urberville Vineyard, Dorset
Champagne Blend
Perfectly sited on protected, south-facing, chalk soils, the D'Urberville vineyard produces perfectly ripe grapes for exuberant, fruit led English sparkling wines. We are proud to represent them and love the fact that it is less than a mile from the shop as the crow flies. Zesty, fresh and very easy drinking this is a great aperitif style of English fizz.

NV Brut, Champagne Germar Breton, Aube
Champagne Blend
This delightful, and rather smart looking, Champagne comes from the relatively young Champagne House of Germar Breton that was established in 2005. Based in the southerly Aube region, they make approachable, terrific value wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This wonderful introduction to their range shows expressive brioche, green apple and quince fruit and has wonderfully balanced acidity. Germar Breton are certainly a Champagne House to keep an eye on.

2019 Vinhas Velhas, Luis Pato,Dao & Bairrada
Bical
The Vinhas Velhas, Luis Pato goes through stainless steel fermentation which produces a refreshing white with Pear, Apple and white flower aromatics which carry through to the palate and are underpinned by a nutty, almond complexity. Mix in a saline edge to the crisp, balanced acidity and you are left with a wonderful white which is evocative of the region.
