This spring, we've been tasting through Pelegrim base wines: a mix of clones and blocks / added and wild ferments, plus our solero reserve wines that go back to 2013.

As a non vintage wine, we aim to make Pelegrim as consistent as possible, matching richness, and depth of flavour for a reliably delicious bottle.

The iteration pictured will be blended, bottled and will sit on lees for a further three years, destined for release some time in 2027.

You don't have to wait that long to try our best selling fizzer though - this great crowd-pleasing, celebratory wine is available from our beloved [stockists](/pages/stockists "Westwell Wines Stockists"), via our distributors [Uncharted](https://www.unchartedwines.com/ "Uncharted Wines") and [online from us](/collections/all "Shop Westwell Wines").
