More stock en route due September 25th

A frizzante - lightly sparkling - Prosecco with a cork closure, requiring a corkscrew to open, but still goes off with a pop! This style of Prosecco has always been popular with the Italians as an aperitif or a summer drink, and it's now growing quickly in popularity in the UK too. Lovely flavours with a degree of sweet fruit, full in the mouth, with a really dry crisp finish. Well balanced acidity too. This is a very enjoyable summer wine, give it a try! 

This is a great Prosecco at a very affordable price. Almost clear in colour. There's an instant fizz on the tongue on first sip and the wine almost evaporates in the mouth. It's lively and full flavoured. A delightful refreshing sparkler ideal as an aperitif or just to enjoy on it's own. We've always stocked Domiziano's Frizzante Prosecco so we were delighted to discover this full Spumante one. It's a cracker.

A delicious Prosecco from Cantina Colli del Soligo, a co-operative of around 700 growers, in the heart of Prosecco country. It's very pale, almost clear in colour with strong fruit flavours. There's real Champagne body and depth to the wine. Lovely flavours and mouthfeel, well balanced with a long dry finish. Great wine.

This is a fantastic Prosecco in the "extra dry" style. Flavours of pear drops and a bone dry finish make this the perfect wine aperitif in warm weather!

Franciacorta Ca del Bosco Prestige Cuvee Brut Rose is a stunning sparkling rose wine with extremely limited availability. Ca del Bosco make quite a bit of their excellent white Franciacorta Cuvee Prestige Brut, and it is a beautiful wine. But for this Rose version production is much more limited.

Ca del Bosco is part of the Santa Margherita Group of wineries, all of whom produce high quality wines. The Ca del Bosco still wines are very highly rated and highly sought after, but it is their excelent Franciacorta that they are best known for. Indeed they have helped establish the reputation of Franciacorta as the best region for sparkling wines in Italy - referred to by some as "Italian Champagne".

Ca del Bosco Franciacorta Prestige Cuvee Brut is a spectacular sparkling wine, one of Italy's best, and in my opinion far better than many Champagnes double the price!

A fantastic dry sparkling Rose from this top Argentine producer - the wine is actually made by Mauricio Lorca.

Delicate pink in colour, a fine concentrated mousse with strawberry flavours and a long crisp finish

Colmant Blanc de Blanc Brut Chardonnay is a superb sparkling wine made in the traditional champagne method of extensive lees ageing for four years.

Platter Guide 2014 : 4 1/2 STARS + Highly recommended

Gold in colour with a very fine mousse. Lovely flavours of apple and biscuits balanced with natural acidity, very smooth with a long finish. Very good indeed.

A fantastic Brut Rose "champagne" from Colmant.

Platter 4 Stars

Pale copper in colour with very small bubbles. Flavours of red berries, good natural acidity making it very smooth. This wine is very "moreish"!

Santa Margherita 52 Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. is the top Prosecco from this excellent winery, from the premier region of Valdobbiadene. Whilst called " Extra Dry" it is fruity and almost sweet on the palate with a bone dry finish. It is delicious!

Santa Margherita "52" Rose is a stunning Rose Prosecco (in all but name). Very limited production and exclusive to us in the UK.

Initial flavours of strawberry and cherry with a long dry finish.

This Blanc de Blanc is a bit more concentrated and toasty than the blend.

Linard Gontier Brut Champagne is a fantastic Champagne at a cracking price. Way better than the vast majority of branded Champagnes at twice the price!

Domaine Mayrac Cremant de Limoux is a superb organic sparkling wine, more in the style of Champagne being rich and biscuity, rather than the fruitier, greener Prosecco style - if you want that style opt for their Blanquette instead.

Domaine Mayrac Blanquette de Limoux Demi Sec is a delicious organic sparkling wine, very low in sulphites in the sweeter "demi sec" style.

La Selva Organic Tins'vil Spumante Brut. A sparkling organic wine made by the charmat method of fermentation in tank, the same as Prosecco, rather than the champagne method of fermentation in bottle.

This wine is special as it is actually made from the red Sangiovese grape!

Costes Cirgues Cremant de Marinas Rose is an excellent organic sparkling Rose wine. The original Rose was produced sulphite free as are all their wines. However a tiny amount of sulphites were produced naturally during the secndary fermentation in the bottle, so this wine does state "contains sulphites" on the lable. The amounts are so low, and all are natural not a manmade additive, so it can be treated as a completely sulphite free wine.

We have been stocking this wine for years when we could get hold of some. Generally we could only get a couple of hundred bottles each year. This year we have far less than that so if you want some I suggest you order it quickly!
