It has been a while since I've offered up an in-depth English Wine piece. So here we go! Getting to Grips With English Regionality, Part One. All the stuff you love - graphs, buttons (and even a Google Earth flyover, and some Play-Doh...) #englishwine sixatmospheres.co.uk/2020/11/23/get…
Taking #EnglishWine Chard & Pinot to new heights... Danbury Ridge Wine Estate is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Much has been said about Essex having huge potential as a region, at Danbury that potential is being realised thanks to the brilliant Liam Idzikowski. Watch. This. Space.

“Winemaker, Liam Idzikowski has already proven his worth at Lyme Bay and Langham, but what he and the team are doing at the shiny new Danbury Ridge Estate in Essex is truly exciting.....I’ve had a preview of these wines and they are truly mind-blowing.” John Mobbs Great British Wine
