The Gift That Keeps On Growing

Following the success of their Valentine's Day partnership, Candover Brook is once again collaborating with Stem & Green to offer a delightful gift for Mother's Day.

The Hampshire vineyard, known for its regeneratively grown English sparkling wines, has joined forces with Stem & Green, the natural flower farm, to offer something truly special for mothers. 

Customers purchasing either Candover Brook Brut or Rosé at participating stockists or online will receive a packet of locally grown, hand-picked Sweet Rocket seeds (Hesperis Matronalis), a flower whose very name means “Evening of the Mother.” Named for the beautiful scent it releases at dusk, Sweet Rocket is a fitting symbol for the enduring warmth of the mothers in our lives.

Amanda Sinclair, Head of Sales & Marketing at Candover Brook, told That's Food and Drink: “Working with Stem & Green has been a real joy. We share the same values, a love of the land, a commitment to regenerative growing, and a belief that the best gifts are ones that keep on giving. 

"After the wonderful response to our recent Valentine's collaboration, it felt completely natural to build on that and create something equally meaningful for Mothering Sunday.”

The Sweet Rocket seeds, grown by Stem & Green at their Hampshire farm, will bloom year after year, creating a lasting reminder of a special celebration, long after the last glass has been poured.

The collaboration reflects a growing movement among Hampshire producers to work together, champion local craftsmanship, and offer consumers something rooted in place and purpose. Both businesses are committed to regenerative practices that care for the soil, the seasons, and the communities around them.

You can pick up this unique pairing at the following shops and venues, whilst stocks last: Auriol Wines - Hartley Wintney, Candover Valley Stores - Preston Candover, Caviste - Hook, Caviste - Overton, Kingsgate Provisions - Winchester, The Naked Grape - Alresford, The Wine Yard - Farnham and Wellington Farm Shop – Hook.

You can also purchase online for direct delivery at www.candoverbrook.co.uk.

Celebrate Your Mum This Mother's Day with Langham Sparkling Wine

Nothing says celebration quite like the bold, iconic sound of a cork popping out of a bottle of sparkling wine. 

And what better way to celebrate your mum and everything she does for you than an elegant bottle of Sparkling Rosé from one of England's finest wine estates?

The Langham Wine Estate is a single vineyard estate nestled in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Taking the greatest of care and pride in their craft, they hand harvest the grapes and take a low intervention approach to their wine-making. 

Not only that but in 2020 the Langham Wine Estate won the coveted Best Sparkling Wine Producer award at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), beating some of the best French champagne houses as well as sparkling wines from around the rest of the world. The previous year, the award was won by Veuve Clicquot.

Langham Sparkling Rosé is delicious on its own and is also exceptional with food being rich and open with a dry finish. It's elegant and complex with noses of raspberry and pomegranate. Made using the same Traditional Method as Champagne, it has a minimum of 24 months ageing on the lees and a further 6-12 months ageing on cork after disgorgement. The rich sunset pink colour makes it a perfect gift for Mother's Day.

It costs £34.95 and is available directly from Langham Wine Estate and can be purchased with a beautiful wooden gift box for just £5.45.
