This fabulous fizz is Charlemagne's signature sparkling wine.  It is a subtle blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with fine persistent bubbles.  It has a hint of citrus and honey with hazelnut and brioche and is perfectly balanced with a long delicious finish.

This delicious sparkling wine is 100% Chardonnay.  It has aromas of toast and bitter almond and is fresh and rounded with a long finish.

A stunning sparkling red wine made from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo with a small blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. This frizzante (semi sparkling) is fresh and fruity and perfect as an apertif, with pasta or white meat. A great drink for the festive season too. Best served at 10-12 °C.

This 100% unoaked Chardonnay has fabulous aromas of exotic fruit and green apples with a long finish.  It is well balanced and ideal both, as an aperitif and with fish, white meats and goat's cheese.

This is a 100% Trebbiano full of elegance and character and has been aged in barriques for 4 months. Santa Cecilia is stunningly well structured bursting with flavours of peach, honey and subtle notes of vanilla.  It is delicious drunk on its own or paired with fish, chicken or pork.  Best served at 10-12°C.

Callipyge in Greek means “beautiful buttocks” and Venus Callipyge herself appears on the label and on the wooden case. A classic Bordeaux blend of Semillion and Sauvignon Blanc (old vines), this gorgeous wine has been aged in oak for 9 months. It has a complex bouquet of exotic fruits and vanilla and flavours of honeyed lemons, mangoes and peach. Perfect with fish, sushi, white meat and cheese.

This elegant and well structured Gruner has a delicate, grassy pepper spice with mineral undertones, lime, sharp apples and lemon balm. Pair with chicken, pork or fish. Also delicious drunk on its own.

La Grange de Saumassac is a delicious blend of Syrah and Merlot.  Bursting with juicy black fruit flavour and forest fruit aromas, it is soft, rich and full of southern warmth.  It is ideal to drink on its own or with food. Specially blended for Hix & Buck.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

The Cuvee d'Alphonse was the first wine to be made at this vineyard.  It is a delicious blend of Merlot and Syrah with plenty of ripe red fruit and spice.  It is full bodied with a long finish and perfect with red meat or cheese.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

The Cuvee Ferdinand is a stunning blend of 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 20% Carignan.  It has been matured in oak barrels for 12 months and has a subtle flavour of vanilla and thyme.  This wine is delicious drunk on it's own or as an accompaniment to duck or wild boar. Best drunk decanted. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

A silky and supple Pinot Noir, with fabulous notes of vanilla, blackberry and subtle strawberry fruits that only premier cru Burgundy can offer. Ideal with feathered game, duck, charcuterie or on its own.

This exquisite deep ruby coloured Montepulciano d’Abruzzo has 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. It is deliciously fruity with spicy notes of pepper, vanilla and cocoa and partners perfectly with red meat, mature cheese or chocolate!

A wine of phenomenal body and length from the Langhe hills in Piemonte. Black cherry, cassis and notes of dark chocolate stand alongside rich, finely-integrated tannins and a smooth, warming body.

Vino Cotto literally means cooked wine.  It is made from 100% Montepulcianno d’Abruzzo and aged in small barrels.  With a gorgeous caramel red colour, this is a dessert wine full of flavours of prunes, honey, dried dates and figs with a hint of cinnamon. Great with Cantuccini biscuits and Christmas pudding!
