LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Harrow & Hope Blanc de Noirs 2015
Texturally and structurally perfect, and also one of the best priced Blanc de Noirs on the market right now.
Coolhurst Demi-Sec Rose 2016
All about the red berries, with ripe red cherry and wild strawberry flavours bringing a generous, smooth weight.
Wiston Estate Blanc de Blancs 2015
This latest Wiston is showing lots of potential already but it is really going to start to sing with a few more years in the bottle.
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Winbirri Signature 2016
Lightly chewy tannin and generous spiced notes on the finish leave a sublime lasting impression.
Balfour Hush Heath Suitcase Pinot Noir 2018
An outstanding English Pinot, packed full of ripe, concentrated red fruit and wondrous mouthfeel.
Woodchester Valley Pinot Noir 2018
Ripe kirsch cherry, strawberry and raspberry, hints of plums with a burst of tangy cranberry.
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

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.
