Sparkling
Charles De Fère Blancs de Blancs Brut Reserve NV ‘Made like Champagne tastes like Champagne. A triumph!’Created 20 miles outside the Champagne region, this sparkling wine is made using the same traditional method and with a blend of Chardonnay, Ugni Blanc and Chenin Blanc grapes. It’s an epic sparkling wine every bit as good as its Champagne cousins. With a pale, golden colour it has aromas of nectarine and melon. Great value and simply gorgeous. Alc: 12%

White
Badet Clément Révélation Viognier 2019 ‘Light, floral, elegant: a great all-rounder’From a Languedoc winery founded in the mid 1990s by Laurent and Catherine Delaunay, the vines are planted on limestone soils and pebbles at 150 metres above sea level. After picking, they’re aged on the lees. The palate is rounded, the acidity is fresh, the finish is balanced. It’s a lovely viognier. Alc: 13%

Red
Montaldo Organic Nero D’Avola 2019 ‘Rich, lush and one of the smoothest reds around’This full-bodied red is made using organically-grown Nero D’Avola grapes, cultivated 300 metres above sea level in the west of Sicily. Hand-harvested and not a smidgeon of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, the grapes are macerated for six days before fermentation. The result is a fruity, generous mouthful, and a rich taste as long as the longest thing you can think of… Alc: 13.5%
Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for everyone in the UK who lives with a muscle-wasting condition. Imagine your muscles growing weaker every day, making it more and more difficult for you to do everyday things, such as standing, walking, laughing. Even things like lifting a glass, chewing a mouthful of food, swallowing. Until one day, the condition stops your heart.
That’s what it’s like for the 70,000 children and adults in the UK who have one of these rare and progressive conditions that weaken and waste their muscles over time. It cuts short too many lives, and there’s no cure.
By joining this stellar Cookalong evening, you’ll help Muscular Dystrophy UK fund world-class research into treatments and cures.
