LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Dillions Rosé 2020
Riper strawberry and peach flavours, with a light creaminess, suggestions of pomegranate and rhubarb.
Dillions Bacchus 2020
Waves of zesty citrus fruit and grassy tones, while the mid-taste brings ripe pears and a hint of tangy tropical fruit.
Greyfriars NOOR 2020
Green apple, citrus, white peach, and a flinty minerality with a light textured nuttiness.
