LATEST SPARKLING WINE REVIEWS
Coolhurst Lady Elizabeth Sparkling Rose 2015
Bright red cherry and cranberry flavours that soften to creamier textures and notes of warm brioche. Delicious!
Herbert Hall Rosé Brut 2015
A very welcoming light creaminess that adds texture and contrast to the fresh, crisp red berry fruit flavours.
Gusbourne Brut Reserve Twenty Fifteen
A delicious, rich Brut Reserve from Gusbourne with lovely nutty complexity.
LATEST STILL WINE REVIEWS
Danebury Madeleine Angevine 2018
A ripe vintage with fleshy white peach, light salinity and floral hints.
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.
A warm welcome is great, but poor signage sounds like producers are losing out on passing trade in @groves2130's article for @GreatBritWine.
