Jacques Boncoeur Brut Réserve Champagne NV

G de Château Guiraud Bordeaux Blanc 2019
"Aromatic and bright aromas of lemon citrus as well as gooseberry with touches of peach and apricot. Vibrant and energetic on the palate with crisp, racy acidity - great tension and purity that leads into a core of further citrus and white stone fruit with added white pepper spice on the finish."

Cave d'Esclans, Whispering Angel Rosé 2021
"Charming nose of red cherry, raspberry and strawberry with added peach and apricot undertones. Luscious and creamy texture on the palate... so silky and seductive. Bright, uplifting acidity balances the core of further red summer berry fruit, white stone fruit and hint of spice. Bravo!"

La Rioja Alta, Viña Ardanza Reserva Rioja 2012
"Inviting nose of red cherry and black plum fused with underlying sweet spice (clove, nutmeg, and vanilla). Impressive weight and structure on the mid-palate with ripe, polished tannins, balanced acidity, and fruit purity. Great length to the finish with an abundance of further dried black fruit, savoury, leather undertones and black pepper spice. An exemplary Rioja."
SUPERB WITH ROAST LAMB SHOULDER AND ROSEMARY ROAST POTATOES

Campbell's Rutherglen Muscat NV
"Abundance of dried fruit such as raisin, date fused with molasses and a touch of cedar oak spice. Bags of dried and orchard fruits on the palate, yet well-balanced with bright acidity which stops the wine from becoming overpoweringly sweet or cloying and leads into a lingering, soft, and gently spiced finish."
HEAVENLY WITH CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS OR SIMNEL CAKE!
