WINE OF THE MONTH
A delicious new addition to the @gusbourne range, the Blanc de Noirs 2016 #EnglishSparkling. Its bullish, lightly bronzed hue is matched by its big, brooding palate of Pinot goodness. Lovely cincentrated red fruit, with bags of biscuit and savoury depth already. Oh yes.
2Superb portfolio tasting with @gusbourne today. Some fab new releases, but the real highlight was the #BlancdeBlancs vertical. Six vintages side by side from the very first 2006 to delicious new 2015. What an exciting #EnglishSparkling journey from #Kent with @CharlieH_wine
