Gorgeous mouth-filling mouse with apple compote, apricot jam, honeyed toast and icing sugar dusted pastries. Bang for buck in the world of English sparkling, the Wiston Brut NV wins every time. The palate darts between fruit, toasty notes and nuts and the finish is very long and quivering with energy. The current release is based on their superb 2017 vintage (a troublesome year for many other producers,) with reserve wines dating back to 2008. Made like high quality Champagne, unhurried and with great love and care - aged for 3 years sur lattes pre release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\nWith its Blanc de Noirs 2010 being named Supreme Champion at the inaugural Wine GB Awards, and its Cuvée 2013 being named the UK’s Best Sparkling Wine in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2017, AND winning the English Sparkling Wine Trophy in the International Wines and Spirits Challenge 2017, life is good for Wiston Estate. It’s a testament to the combined efforts and expertise of estate managers Richard and Kirsty Goring, and winemaker Dermot Sugrue, and confirms Wiston as a genuine trailblazer of quality English sparkling wine. Taking inspiration from his previous work in Champagne, Dermot prefers to use old Jacques Prieur Burgundy barrels for fermentation and ageing of Wiston’s vintage wines and his approach to winemaking is all about patience – as such Wiston sparkling wines will only ever be released once they have reached pitch-perfect readiness. Their NV wines are unbeatable examples of just good English sparkling can be.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wiston Estate Partnership","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31924662075507,"sku":"OWISTONSNVB01","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/products\/brutcropped.png?v=1624550264"},{"product_id":"indaco-tenuta-sette-cieli-magnum-150cl-2019","title":"Indaco Tenuta Sette Cieli 2019 Magnum 150cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndaco 2019 is the purest and finest it's been. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, it's the wine that goes toe to toe with Sassicaia. This is a wine we would love to see being drunk and not just stashed away. Yes it will keep another 10 years, but enjoying it now is a pleasure. You get Tuscan warmth and smoothness, along with beautifully defined aromas and flavours, with some blackcurrant, leafiness and tobacco. 1100 cases made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eSette\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eCieli\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e arrived on the Tuscan scene a few years after the boundary lines of the Bolgheri appellation had been drawn. At the time the boundary was set, no one thought someone would plant above the woods on the next hillside over from Sassicaia, but actually above Gaja's Bolgheri property, Ca' Marcanda. But they did. Originally intended as a place to breed horses and a family retreat. Wine-loving f\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eriends came to visit and pointed out Sassicaia’s original vineyard, under the castle, that you see when you look over your right shoulder, and then a bit to the left of that, the Masseto vineyard. So they started to plant vines in 2000, and since 2012, the young Ambrogio Cremona Ratti who inherited the domain has been at the helm. He brought in winemaker Elena Pozzolini who came back to the area after several years of international experience in Argentina and California, and they share some of the viticultural team of Ornellaia. As Matthew Jukes says \"this estate is a superstar in the making.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SETTE CIELI, TENUTA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55959131554178,"sku":"A3045119","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/files\/BC_Upload_83e0822d-74d5-47a2-8212-9bfa309397c4.jpg?v=1750156661"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/collections\/cheers-to-new-years.jpg?v=1605276801","url":"https:\/\/swig.co.uk\/collections\/christmas\/region-sussex.oembed","provider":"Swig Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
