2019 Berry Bros. & Rudd Provence Rosé by Château la Mascaronne £15.95 Created from a blend of grenache, cinsault and rolle grapes, this bold, very pale salmon-pink rosé is a thyme-and-bitter-celery gem, best enjoyed with food. And who doesn't love rosé in the summertime?
2019 Kraal Bay, Chenin Blanc, South Africa £10.50 This is a fresh chenin with an apple flavour produced from grapes grown across South Africa Swartland. A lovely accompaniment to light summer fish dishes and crunch salads.
Berry Bros. & Rudd English Sparkling Wine by Hambledon £25.95 Made in Hampshire this sparkling wine is bright and enticing from the outset, with a fine mousse that brings added vibrancy to the crunchy acidity and pithy, chalky citrus fruit. Perfect served chilled as an apéritif. BERRY BROS. & RUDD Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchant, having traded from the same shop since 1698. Today the company also has offices in Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, a Wine School and an exclusive fine wine and dining venue in St James's.
