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
Danbury Ridge Chardonnay Octagon Block 2018
Quite simply the juiciest, ripest, most textural English Chardonnay there is.
Albourne Estate Chardonnay Barrel 24 2018
Brisk, bold but subtly tempered acidity integrates nicely with rich peachy and apricot flavours.
Adnams Bacchus 2019
Crispness explodes on the palate with a burst of lime and pungent tropical fruits.
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.
