England: Red

Somborne Rondo Estate Reserve 2014, Hamshire

This is an impressive wine and has considerable depth. It delivers nuances of plum pudding with spice on the nose, while the palate is rich with a savoury characteristics and ripe cherry.

Pinot Noir 2019, Sharpham, Devon

Bountiful fresh fruit with delicately balanced and warming spice; the Sharpham Pinot Noir 19 lives up superbly to its highly prized predecessors.

Winner of ‘Best Red Wine’ at the IEWA 2020 as well as English & Welsh Wine of the Year Competition 2015, this wine collects awards as if they were horcruxes, regardless of its vintage. Sharpham are one of the few estates to produce quality, award winning, still red wine in England. To our mind, this is best English red on the market!

Simpsons Rabbit Hole Pinot Noir, Kent

A super sophisticated English Pinot which shows a purplish hue, dark cherry aromas backed up by smoky oak and a mocha finish. A truly classy Pinot that will be the central talking point around the dinner table.

It’s truly is remarkable that, owners, Ruth and Charles never set out to make still wines; believing their plot would only be suitable for premium sparkling wine. Nature has a funny way of surprising us!
