LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Oxney Organic Classic Rosé 2019
Crisp and bright with vibrant wild strawberries, raspberries and lemon zest.
Artelium Blanc de Blancs Twenty Fifteen
This is classic Blanc de Blancs territory – baked apple, hints of pear and peach on the nose as well as an indulgent biscuity pastry note.
Balfour Hush Heath Blanc de Noirs 2018
A fusion of tangy red berries, orange and lemon citrus with enveloping, peachy generosity that leads to a mineral finish.
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.

A visit to Kent by @groves2130 for @GreatBritWine finds lots of people enjoying a warm welcome and excellent wines. Note, though, that tours are booked well in advance. Glad to hear Stephen found our website useful for trip planning 😊.

This is our 2019 sparkling red. It’s not available yet. You’ll soon become familiar with it for another reason & with a very different label but for now let it be known that it has won a silver at @theIEWA 🙌 pic @PeteAxford #cryptic #wine #sparklingred #bristol #somerset
