LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Dunleavy Sparkling Red 2018
A crisp sparkling red that feels like a deep, dark rosé, with some lovely crunchy red fruit, tangy cranberry and pink grapefruit peel.
Wiston Estate Cuvée Brut 2015
A hint of tangy red berries and lots of nutty pastry complexity, leading to a clean mineral finish.
Ashling Park Estate Cuvée NV
Superbly wholesome and precise, but seasoned with just the right amount of spiced pastry and biscuit to add structure and texture.
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Artelium Meunier Rosé Twenty Twenty
Joyous, fruity and refreshing, with bursts of tangy red berries interspersed with crisp citrus.
Adnams Bacchus 2019
Crispness explodes on the palate with a burst of lime and pungent tropical fruits.
Winbirri Signature 2016
Lightly chewy tannin and generous spiced notes on the finish leave a sublime lasting impression.
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
