Eleventh hour … don’t despair

We could tell you how pink champagne is made or share some famous quotes about love; however, if you’re reading this, you might just have left Valentine’s Day purchasing to the eleventh hour?

Don’t despair- help is at hand and you can pretend that you have gone to tonnes of trouble choosing a fizz that’s a little bit different too! No supermarket deals in sight, guaranteed.

Sending bubbles to your man? Look no further than a grand cru champagne (made with highest quality grapes) it comes in a matching gift box too. Deep, rich notes of peaches and brioche. A really special treat.

Does he love shiraz? Why not surprise him with this sparkling version? Delicious, bold blackcurrant notes.

Gifting a girl? Only pink champagne will do. Admittedly a touch predictable but what better excuse is there for drinking pink in February? This divine rosé is made in the same village that Dom Perignon made champagne!

Just want a bottle to toast yourself, or each other or just as an excuse to ease into the weekend?  The appropriately name ‘Passion’ is an easy drinking fizz and it’s a Crémant de Limoux. (For those of you new to crémant- it’s a sparkling French wine made in the same way as champagne. Crémant can come from the Loire, Alsace, Bourgogne, and Limoux to name a few.) It’s well worth getting to know better! Passion has lovely hints of caramel and apples. What’s not to love?

PS if you were wondering how pink champagne is mad,e the winemaker either adds red wine to brut champagne or allows red grape skins to stain the grape juice pink, before turning it into champagne.

Finally, perhaps this quote will galvanise you into action this Valentine’s Day!

Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do… David Wilkerson

Cheers!
