LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Winbirri Vintage Reserve 2014
A big crowd-pleaser of a wine, so packed full of fruit that it really appeals.
1086 Nyetimber Prestige Cuvée 2010
This wine’s price (£150) and presentation makes a huge statement but it’s Nyetimber’s quality and precise approach that makes it a standout.
Oxney Organic Classic 2016
A wine with lots of tertiary nuances, ripe stone fruit, red apple and hints of cranberry on the mid-taste with a delicious nutty, baked pastry complexity
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Three Choirs First Release 2019
An intriguing array of aromatics ranging from honeysuckle to golden kiwis, English pears and yellow grapefruit.
Simpsons Estate Roman Road Chardonnay 2018
WOTM November 2019 Immaculate and Chablis-esque, with lovely hints of minerality, suggestions of toasted oak, tangerine peel and spice.
Woodchester Valley Orpheus Bacchus 2018
WOTM September 2019 Grassy and aromatic with plentiful tropical fruit richness thanks to the fantastic 2018 vintage fruit.
Today I had the pleasure of visiting Douglas and Susanna of @BusiJacobsohn, an exciting vineyard and brand to emerge from the Sussex #EnglishSparkling scene.
I've already spoken about their excellent 2018 vintage wines - which were on fine form today. More soon!

A drop of traditional method sparkling sake (!) to accompany the #Tokyo2020 #Olympics opening ceremony. Quite excited to see this finally taking place. Also, my slightly delayed GBW July round-up will finally go live tomorrow. Good luck to #TeamGB
