Chapel Down

Chardonnay Reserve

2010

Chapel Down has become an extremely popular brand of late, and has created a reputation for producing the finest English Sparkling Wines that are now competing with Champagne. With this brand awareness, more produce has come to market from the Kent based vineyards, hence this English Chardonnay Reserve.

This Chardonnay is produced in an un-oaked style allowing for fresh, crisp fruits to be showcased throughout. The main notes that this wine expresses are fresh green apples, with a softening aroma of pineapples and apricots. This allows for a fresh and fruity feel, with a long smooth velvety finish. Furthermore, the body and acidity of this wine are provident and pleasant leaving you wanting more.

If you are looking for an alternative to Sauvignon Blanc, and don't want the oaky characters of a traditional Chardonnay, then this wine could be your summer tipple. On the whole this wine is Flying the flag for England, and doing an excellent job!

Enjoy this wine on a summers evening, or with a fillet of grilled salmon on a bed of mashed potato with a side of roasted vegetables.

On Wednesday 15th of May we will be hosting our Summer Wine Evening from 6PM at Majestic Northallerton.

It's going to take the form of a seasonal tasting for the Summer to come with welcome fizz from our friends at Codorniu, a variety of whites, rose and reds to try along with a specially selected Fine Wine which I myself am very excited about tasting! At this point I'd be thinking 'what about some nibbles?' Well, we've got that covered too with a supreme selection of wonderful cheeses from our dedicated fine foods delicatessen. 

As well as enjoying the great wines with you, we're happy to answer any questions you have about the world of wine. Its a great opportunity to learn about the great product range we have and for us to learn about you the customer and what it is you like about our wines. 

With spaces filling up fast drop in to the store, or give us a call and we'll put your name down for a fantastic evening of great wine, great food and (though I say it myself) great company!

Clos du Bois

2011

Pinot Noir

£12.49 or buy 2 and save £5

£9.99

Clos du Bois farm almost 800 acres in Sonoma County and coastal California, working closely with trusted local growers. The winery was founded 35 years ago by Frank Woods who previously spent much time travelling and working in France, hence their mantra Made in California, fluent in French.

During production of this wine de-stemming is followed by a three day cold soak prior to fermentation. The wine undergoes full malolactic before beginning nine months ageing in barrel, a mixture of French and Eastern European (25% new).

This is a lush, fruit-driven Pinot Noir, made in California's trademark style. Strawberry and cherry fruit are accompanied by hints of lavender and forest floor, supported by silky tannins. Drink with slow-roasted pork shoulder or with duck breast.
