🎾 Wimbledon arrived this week and so did our craving for Pimm's!
- A Pimm's bar first popped up at the 1971 Wimbledon tournament, and now more than 300,000 glasses of the recipe are served to spectators every year - BUT if you can't make it to Wimbledon.. bring Wimbledon to you WITH our Pimm's No.1 Cup now for £15.00!!! And to jazz things up why not try our recipe by pairing this mouth watering spirit with none other than Betty Buzz's Sparkling Lemon Lime.
-Founded by A-List American actress and entrepreneur, Blake Lively, who is best known for starring in Gossip Girl. Blake founded Betty Buzz with a simple idea - that what we drink should be held to the same standards as the foods we eat. The result is a homemade bubbly beverage whose recipes use only the freshest fruits, herbs, juices and spices. The Sparkling Lemon Lime is refreshing with deliciously authentic flavours. It’s made with carbonated water, agave syrup, lime juice, Meyer lemon juice concentrate, natural flavours and sea salt. There are no artificial colours or sweeteners which makes this just fabulous!
- Pimms is almost as iconic as strawberries and cream at Wimbledon and staff serve an incredible amount each year. Combined with champagne sales, they sell over 300,000 drinks that thirsty punters will wash their fruit down with! So get involved! Mmmmmm... 🍹🍓🍊🌿

👋 Welcome Josh Cellars 👋
- New to our shelves - With nearly 40 years of experience in the business, winemaker Wayne Donaldson is the talent behind this delicious red from Josh Cellars. The winery was named in honour of US army veteran and volunteer firefighter Josh Carr, and the brand has always been focused on making approachable wines that you’d want to share with friends. 
...Including enduringly popular Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is seriously rounded and juicy, with blackberry, toasted hazelnut, cinnamon and vanilla notes. A sure fire winner with beef, lamb and pork but for something a bit different, consider pairing it with chocolate desserts too.
This elegant Pinot Noir from the Central Coast has lush cherry and strawberry flavours and hints of toasted oak. Pair it with roasted turkey, vegetables or soft cheeses like brie.
If California is known for one white grape, it’s Chardonnay. And Josh Cellars makes a version that is well-balanced, delicious and carefully sourced. Among the many popular bottlings, this Chardonnay is understandably a favourite given its harmonious balance of citrus, honey, juicy peach and oak flavours. Pair it with creamy pastas, roasted chicken, prawns or steamed mussels.

How much do you know about Viognier? 🍇 Pronounced: Vee-on-yay 🗣️

Viognier is a white grape varietal mostly grown in France, which is said to be its country of origin alongside Croatia 🇫🇷 🇭🇷

Often found as a single varietal but also commonly used as a blending grape, Viognier is luxuriously rich and aromatic, elevating the flavours of wines both white and red 🥂🍷

Plantings have increased exponentially today, but they were almost wiped out in the 1960s due to challenging environmental factors 😨⚡

Find out why we’re so glad this grape made its comeback and discover for yourself why it’s so special – by visiting the link: www.majestic.co.uk/viognier

Aspall Premier Cru Cyder: the fine, sparkling and rich Cider of the Week 🍏🍻

In 1728, Clement Chevallier started Aspall Cyder. While everyone around him said he should be growing cereals, Clement planted apple trees. Almost 300 years on, Aspall continue to pioneer British fine ‘cyder’ – spelt that way to indicate its quality and its single pressing of fruit – and the result is a dry and perfectly balanced sip.

It's been a truly Majestic couple of days at this year's London Wine Fair, as our colleagues came away with an incredible haul of nine prestigious team and individual accolades.

🥇 On-Trade Supplier of the Year
🥇 Consumer Campaign of the Year
🥈 Fine Wine Retailer

At the Wine Buyers Awards earlier in the day, Matthew Fowkes was awarded Supermarket & Multiple Wine Buyer of the Year, with judges recognising his ability to source unique, off-the-beaten track wines and grow sales in difficult categories. Our new colleagues at Vagabond also took home some silverware after being crowned Best On-Trade Buying Team.

And on day one of the Fair, Buyer Zara Cassidy and our PR and Events Coordinator Chloe Freeman were both named among Harpers 30 Under 30 list for 2024. Harpers praised Zara’s "commitment to sustainability, which shines through so much of what she does at Majestic", including in our Wine Club subscription cases.

Majestic CEO John Colley said: "Huge congratulations to all of our colleagues who achieved this incredible industry recognition.

✨️ NEW ▪︎ NEW ▪︎ NEW ✨️......... And ready to try!
This unoaked Chardonnay spends more time ageing, creating rich notes of baked apple and oaty character. Balfour specialise in making still wines with texture and complexity. Owen and Fergus Elias are a formidable team, selecting the very best fruit for this fabulous Chardonnay. Owen has been awarded ‘UK Winemaker of the Year’ on six occasions and, following in his father’s footsteps, Fergus is a graduate of Plumpton College, England’s viticultural centre and is part of an exciting new generation of young winemakers innovating and pushing boundaries in English winemaking. Rich, rounded and with delightful baked apple flavours. Think spring and summer meals in the garden. Fresh salads, grilled chicken and fish.
Come see what you think of it?!

🔸️The 'Aperol Spritz' 🔸️
- Can you believe this is Chelsey's first taste of an Aperol spritz?! .... us neither!! And look... shes even dressed for the occasion today!
- Chelsey is a big lover of all things orange, in colour and taste, so for someone who's not always a lover of prosecco sure did change her mind today! In her words it was "summer infused kiss". 💋🍊🧊 - would you like to join Chelsey for a taste test?
The Italian classic. Aperol’s distinctive bittersweet flavour is thanks to its unique infusion of rhubarb, orange and herbs. This is a top-secret recipe that hasn’t changed since 1919. It's bright and bittersweet and will blend perfectly with Prosecco for a fresh Aperol spritz. ONLY £14!!!
