LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Coolhurst Lady Elizabeth Sparkling Rose 2015
Bright red cherry and cranberry flavours that soften to creamier textures and notes of warm brioche. Delicious!
Herbert Hall Rosé Brut 2015
A very welcoming light creaminess that adds texture and contrast to the fresh, crisp red berry fruit flavours.
Gusbourne Brut Reserve Twenty Fifteen
A delicious, rich Brut Reserve from Gusbourne with lovely nutty complexity.
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Woodchester Valley Orpheus Bacchus 2018
Grassy and aromatic with plentiful tropical fruit richness thanks to the fantastic 2018 vintage fruit.
Denbies Ranmore Hill 2017
A curious fusion of ripe peach, hints of lightly grilled tropical fruit, with a twist of lime & smoky notes.
Albourne Estate Bacchus 2018
Notes of thyme and sage add a savoury component that would pair well with many summer dishes.
