LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
1086 Nyetimber Prestige Cuvée 2010
This wine’s price (£150) and presentation makes a huge statement but it’s Nyetimber’s quality and precise approach that makes it a standout.
Oxney Organic Classic 2016
A wine with lots of tertiary nuances, ripe stone fruit, red apple and hints of cranberry on the mid-taste with a delicious nutty, baked pastry complexity
Coolhurst Lady Elizabeth Sparkling Rose 2015
Bright red cherry and cranberry flavours that soften to creamier textures and notes of warm brioche. Delicious!
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Woodchester Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018
A classy English Sauvignon Blanc with a mixture of crisp green fruit and tangy, prickly tropical fruits.
Denbies Ranmore Hill 2017
WOTM July 2019 A curious fusion of ripe peach, hints of lightly grilled tropical fruit, with a twist of lime & smoky notes.
Biddenden Gamay Noir 2018
Intense red cherry and wild raspberry flavours, with a lick of black berry fruits and a reassuring savoury depth.
