LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Albourne Bacchus Frizzante 2018
A very pure, dry expression of Bacchus but with the added lift of the light bubbles.
Chapel Down Kit’s Coty Coeur de Cuvée 2014
WOTM May 2019 A celebration of English Chardonnay purity, and it comes with such welcoming texture and complexity.
Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2014
WOTM April 2019 A little nervy; tangy apple and vibrant citrus, but it integrates so brilliantly with the supple mousse.
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Off the Line Hip Rosé 2018
A rosé that you can generously sip away on without feeling too guilty about the units.
Danebury Madeleine Angevine 2016
Lots of character for a light wine, with pleasing floral and mineral notes on the finish.
M&S Bacchus Reserve 2017
A punchy palate, packed full of zingy citrus fruit, with papaya and guava tropics.
