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

LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Westwell Field Blend 2018
A most vivid ruby red colour, with a dynamic nose of cherry, wild strawberry and dried herb notes.
Greyfriars Rosé 2018
Lots of tangy cranberry and raspberry red berry flavours with a big hit of grapefruit tang.

A rosé that you can generously sip away on without feeling too guilty about the units.
