Put a spring in your step and celebrate the season of renewal with this fantastic dry Champagne form the House that has been beating the big names. A full-bodied style with pencil shavings and toast aromas followed by honey, candied fruit and a finish of lingering ginger. Impossible to resist!

This 63% Semillon, 32% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Verdelho blend is bursting with spring flowers and herbs aromas with a crisp and crunchy palate. Its zesty and chalky acidity makes it perfect for seafood.

This wine tells the story of a fictional little girl, Malvasia Bianca, living in the imaginary kingdom of Ca’ del Solo (on the Soledad-Piemonte border of Italy) who always seems to be on her way to school high up in the lush mountains of the region. The skip in her step is marked by the jasmine, lime and lychee scents and her young age by the crisp and youthful dryness on the finish. A winner with fish, bird or Asian cuisine.

Much as its name implies this blend of Tempranillo and Malbec has been aged for 3 months in French barriques which has imparted a soft, toasty, smokiness to the rich black fruits. Ideal for most occasions but especially with cheese or red meats.

In celebration of the Cornish origins of the family the name of this wine evokes the heather and wild moor qualities that the wonderful mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Malbec and Merlot give. Lifted violets and ripe cherries complement the soft cassis and savoury finish to the wine. A meat, pasta and cheese accompaniment.

And to complete the vernal experience why not try the hedgerow fruitiness and light sweetness of this pinky red dessert wine from an undersung Italian grape? The perfume of crushed rose petals awakens the senses and the colour harkens to the dawn of each new and lengthening day.
