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
Litmus Orange Bacchus 2019
A brilliantly complex, maverick Orange Bacchus that was fermented on skins for 16 weeks.
Astley Vineyard Kerner 2018
Very clean and zest, with fresh and floral notes.
Winbirri Pinot Noir Rosé 2018
WOTM February 2020 Delicious, pure, concentrated red berry flavours paired with unquestionable English acidity.

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
