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.

Nice piece on the eye-catching new English sparkling wine producer @BusiJacobsohn, by my pal @john_mobbs of @GreatBritWine. One of the best presented bottles out there IMHO 👌🏻🥂 #englishwine https://twitter.com/GreatBritWine/status/1449374746966204423
Both in its name and in its unconventional colour scheme of blue and orange, @BusiJacobsohn is one of England’s most distinctive new wine brands.

Essex Bacchus picked today. Destined for the follow-up to ‘I Wanna Be Adored’. Looking and tasting great. Just need to turn it into wine now, and come up with a suitable name.
