We never cease to be amazed by the making of sweet wines. Castellare di Castellina creates their Vinsanto S. Niccolo by hanging and air-drying Malvasia Bianca and a small amount of Trebbiano in a dry room, to concentrate the grapes’ sugars, before they are pressed. The wine is then aged in chestnut half barriques, to complement the intense dried fruit flavours that are extracted. The result is a dessert wine that is not cloying, with distinctive notes of honey, dried fruit, candied oranges and caramel.

A Brighton boy shows us a Brighton wine. National Account Manager, Duncan Lees, talks us through the local wine he can’t get enough of. The Albourne Estate multi-vintage is a testament to the winery’s consistency of quality and refinement. This English Sparkling shows complexity after three years of ageing on lees, while still allowing for refreshing citrus to cut through.

Congratulations to the Class of 2024 New Bordeaux School!

Each Chateau uncovered techniques in the vineyards and cellars that are leading to a reimagined Bordeaux; one that is equipped for the future.

If you want to make a wine educator happy, tell them they’ll spend most of their work trip in a cave. A cave in Champagne, that is. Last week our wine training team took a trip to Champagne where they met with Bibendum producers to learn about the differing styles and philosophies. In visiting Lacourte-Godbillon, Champagne Lallier and Taittinger, they saw how productions vary between houses of different sizes and gained a deeper understanding of evolving trends. The trip of course involved plenty of tasting, including the Lacourte-Godbillon Chaillots PC Hautes Vignes 2020, Lallier Ouvrage GC Extra Brut and the Taittinger Comtes GC 2013 – plenty of inspiration for Christmas pours!
Join us as we uncork the trends to expect in 2025. Aligoté has become the unexpected hero of Burgundy, proving to be a variety resistant to the increasingly warm vintages. Once ripened to its full potential, Aligoté shows similar notes to Chardonnay with a cutting acidity.

When Pieter Ferreira (aka Mr. Bubbles), was in London, he visited old friend and fellow Cap Classique enthusiast, Neleen Strauss, General Manager at High Timber.
