The Perfect Pink: Sparkling Rosé

Serve a showstopping centrepiece with our new, vintage Rosé de Noirs 2020. With its vibrant pink hue and fragrant notes of cherry blossom, red berries, and honey, it bursts with expressive summer fruit flavours layered with rich complexities of biscuit and almond.

Its creamy, soft mouthfeel and long, balanced finish make it a dream pairing for bold, robust dishes like Asian-inspired flavours, roasted root vegetables and creamy, fruit-driven desserts.

Pairing suggestions:

  • Thai-style prawns with chilli and lime
  • Roasted beetroot and goat’s cheese tart
  • Eton mess with fresh berries

And of course, our ever-popular Fitzrovia Rosé remains a delightful choice, offering bright fruit character and a crisp finish that pairs beautifully with seafood or light appetisers. It’s also a perfect fruit-driven and moreish aperitif to start your evening.

Sparkling Whites: The Perfect Match

For a timeless touch, our Cavendish and vintage Blanc de Noirs are exceptional food companions, thanks to their Pinot-dominant profiles.

Elegantly balanced, with expressive red berry aromas and notes of raspberry frangipane and bergamot orange, Cavendish is a deliciously foodie wine. A gourmet all-rounder, it complements smoked or cured meats and earthy plant-based dishes. It’s robust enough to go bold with adventurous food pairings and flavours.

Or for a chef’s-kiss of a wine, our celebrated Blanc de Noirs has food-pairing prowess in abundance. With both the backbone to support bold flavours and the poise to complement delicate dishes, this vintage bursts with rich, red-fruit notes that complement meaty dishes like succulent duck or smoky ham hock, while its vibrant acidity enhances the umami of mushrooms. This balance of power and elegance makes it an exceptional choice for a wide range of culinary pairings—including our Head Winemaker’s favourite match – a decadent roast bird, brimming with trimmings.

Pairing suggestions:

  • Seared scallops with a citrus butter sauce
  • Roast chicken with truffle mash
  • Creamy wild mushroom risotto
  • Ham hock macaroni cheese
