Coates 'La Petite Cuvée' Sparkling Shiraz NV

Shiraz-led with Cabernet and Touriga Nacional — dark fruit, spice, bubbles. The Australian festive-season classic, no apologies.

Spring Seed NV Sparkling Red

Spring Seed Wine Co (Battle of Bosworth)

'Wanderer' blends several vintages of the Bosworth family's own McLaren Vale red grapes, predominantly Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, into a non-vintage sparkling red. The base wine is gently picked and open-fermented, pressed off skins and finished in stainless steel, with some parcels aged in oak before Joch Bosworth selects the final blend and sends it through secondary fermentation for its fizz. The result pours a vibrant bright purple, with a nose of blueberries, plum, black cherry and a hint of violets. Serve chilled as an aperitif or alongside a full spread of food.

Villers-Marmery, Montagne de Reims, France

Sadi Malot Terre d'Origine 1Er Cru BDB

Sadi Malot

A grower Champagne from Villers-Marmery Premier Cru in the Montagne de Reims, made from 100% Chardonnay grown on chalky-limestone soils. The base blend is topped up with a share of Sadi Malot's own solera reserve, a perpetual blend the family has been feeding since 1982, then bottled without fining. Pale with green reflections and a fine, steady mousse, it opens on wet chalk, oyster shell and fresh bread before moving into orange and clementine fruit jelly, honey and acacia flowers, with a smooth, lemony attack and a rich, long finish.

Champagne, Côte des Bar, France

Fleury Blanc de Noirs NV

Fleury

The Fleury family were the first biodynamic estate in all of Champagne, working in the Côte des Bar — closer to Chablis than to Reims. 100% Pinot Noir. Baked apple, brioche, almond and warm spice. More texture and depth than the tighter Côte des Blancs styles up north.
