LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Chapel Down Bacchus Sparkling 2018
An intense fusion of tropical fruit, zesty citrus fruits and vibrant tropics that is immediately Bacchus-like, with added bubbles.
Denbies Sparkling Bacchus 2016
A fusion of pear, elderflower, zesty lime and gooseberry, with a softer, riper mix of light peach and honeydew melon.
Albury Estate Prestige Cuvée 2014
A strikingly pure prestige cuvée, the purity of the ultra-low dosage lets the fruit do the talking.
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Denbies Ranmore Hill 2017
WOTM July 2019 A curious fusion of ripe peach, hints of lightly grilled tropical fruit, with a twist of lime & smoky notes.
Biddenden Gamay Noir 2018
Intense red cherry and wild raspberry flavours, with a lick of black berry fruits and a reassuring savoury depth.
Chartham Pinot Gris 2018
Lots of crunchy green fruit and zestiness upfront, but with the delightful ripeness and summer sunshine of the 2018 vintage showing through
Two of my favourite things... @Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs and home cooked Chinese food. Great way to start the new year, and the Nyetimber BdB 14 is a real delight! #EnglishSparkling
4This was our last lunch of the year: delicious giant tiger prawns, tomato & prawn Linguine and a tasty bottle of local @AlburyVineyard Silent Pool Rosé 2020. Just about ready for a #HappyNewYear. #Surrey #EnglishWine
3Kicked off our Christmas meal with a modern take on prawn cocktail with pickled fennel salad, and some salmon terrine (thanks to @waitrose) and multi grain bread. Paired with the incredibly food and Christmas friendly @ArteliumWine Makers Rosé.
