Roebuck Estates Classic Cuvée 2014
“I was taken by this wine the minute I opened it; it was one of the early stars of the year. Complex, exuberant and exquisitely textured.”
Lyme Bay Chardonnay 2018
“One of the best English Chardonnays I’ve tasted full-stop. The 2018 Essex-grown fruit brings an almost New World ripeness that makes this a hugely satisfying wine.”
Harrow & Hope Blanc de Noirs 2015
“Not just one of the best Blanc de Noirs I’ve tasted, but one of the best English sparkling wines of the year. Stunning textures and generous complexity, this is a must try!”
Hush Heath Suitcase Pinot Noir 2018
“This tempts with its decadent textures of oak and spice and wonderful rounded red fruit flavours. A new benchmark for English Pinot Noir?”
Chapel Down Kit’s Coty Bacchus 2018
“A generous mixture of ripe peach, tangy papaya tropics, and a seasoning of smoked nutty oak and mint. The most texturally outstanding Bacchus I’ve tasted, and one of my very top wines of the year.”
Litmus White Pinot Noir 2016
“Consistently expressive and involving, this complex white wine is made from red Pinot grapes. Tasted blind, you might think it’s a Burgundian Chardonnay. It has similar textural oak, luscious stone fruit flavours, but then there’s just a suggestion of red berry.”
That’s a great list and our family have chosen to go “the full English this year too. Pre lunch drink, Chapel Down sparkling Bacchus, first course Hush Heath sparkling rose and Stopham Pinot Gris, main course Gusbourne Pinot Noir, Dessert Three Choirs Noble Harvest. So much quality to choose from!
