Well as if trying to run a fledgling business during a pandemic wasn’t challenging enough, we’ve also been building a new website over the last couple of months. And here it is. Bear with us, folks, this is still very much work in progress, but you can now use this site to make your orders and pay for them.
If you’ve already used our old PDF/email ordering system, we’ve already got your details in our point of sale software and we’re in the process of pulling all your order history over to here. It’ll be very useful to all of us, when it’s finished. If your personal data has been transferred, you can identify yourself by going to MY RISE & VINE and using you email address to request a password. If your details are not there yet just register with us and we’ll merge your data in the days to come. The easiest way to do this is by placing an order
If you’re new to ordering from Rise & Vine, then just push on by selecting products from our wine, beer and spirits list. The order confirmation process will do the rest.
We’ve worked hard to get this site to be best suited to meeting your needs and doing so in our own inimitable style. We hope you enjoy it and find it useful. We look forward to hearing your feedback which will help us hone this new tool. Have fun!
We’ve just been refreshing our Chardonnays. We got in two new, top notch Burgundies – the Rully in the picture (left) and a cracking Chassagne Montrachet.
But at the same time we also just imported 30 cases of the ridiculously good value Extrait de Romarion. It’s a Chardonnay that’s been matured with oak too. For £12, you may not get the finesse, complexity and length of the Burgundies, but you do get a great load of Burgundy-like characteristics for your money: A crisp, refreshing start, opening up to rounder stone and stone fruit flavours and finishing with a long, creamy toffee finish.
The Burgundies do all of that and more. Again each will give you that clean, crisp opening, the Chasssgne-Montrachet particularly including touches of blossom in the nose. The deeper, riper fruits follow, balanced by clean mineral elements. Each ends with a creamier, dreamier finish that lingers for an eternity. The difference between the two would be that the Rully is a little lighter, the Chassagne-Montrachet has more caramel in its finish. Both are an investment. Both will pay back dividends!
