Here volcanic soils lend a flinty minerality to the orchard-fresh flavours of Prosecco. Enjoy a crisp glass of this bubbly spumante.
With Prosecco, you can’t help but smile. It’s the UK’s fizz of choice, and being kind on the pocket, you can drink it whenever the fancy takes you! The Italians do anyhow! This delightful example was sourced from vineyards in the Euganean Hills near Padua. Known locally as the ‘happy hills’, here life is sweet – la vita è dolce! – and vacationers flock to the promise of fun and good wine. These Glera vines grow on volcanic soils which lend crisp minerality to the lively, fruity character of Casa Cantalini. Pop the cork and out fizzes a fragrant ensemble of crisp orchard fruits and flinty freshness. It's a spumante, so it offers a steady stream of bubbles and is very moreish. Don’t wait for a celebration, enjoy a chilled glass any time.
Germany is home to some of the world’s most famous, finest Rieslings: “No other wine can offer in a single sip as much finesse, purity of fruit, intensity of flavour and thrilling acidity ...” (Tom Stevenson Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopedia).
Our customers have been thirsty for top-class, gently sweet Riesling for some time, so we are thrilled to bring you this stunning Mosel!
This beautiful F.W. Nalbach Sonnenschein Riesling 2018 hails from Mülheimer, a top village of the Mosel and the prestigious 17th century Richter estate (they supply the royal cellars at Buckingham Palace!). Hugh Johnson calls the Richter estate “an extremely consistent producer of classic Mosel Rieslings”. Its steep slate vineyards produce fine Riesling with lively minerality and laser precision fruit … this is something very special!
While in the wine name, ‘Sonnen’ means sunshine and there’s plenty of that, but don’t expect high alcohol. The terroir gives a wine that’s dazzlingly bright and light on its feet – this 2018 is a taut high-wire act of beautiful, late ripened fruit and lipsmacking, cleansing acidity. It’s a treat with dim sum, and a magic match to whole fish dishes. If you love very fresh whites with a touch of sweetness you will LOVE this. Don’t miss it!

Named ‘Pfalz Discovery of the Year 2017’ by Germany’s Wein magazine, Oliver Zeter is an exciting, pioneering winemaker. He loves Riesling, but he is equally excited by other white grapes. This is a fresh, citrusy Sauvignon and Pinot Blanc.
