Reviews
"Appealingly smooth and creamy with a nice touch of citrusy freshness" - Fiona Beckett - Matching Food and Wine (read more)
"Elegant on the nose and perfumed, rich and intense on the palate" - was how Paola Giraldo of Wiltons described this Gold winner
Street XO’s Raphael Thierry liked its "toasted almonds on the nose, and a creamy palate with melon, peach, ripe citrus and some autolytic complexity"
"Pear and apple on the nose, leading to a really well-balanced palate that’s intense, fresh and vibrant - a good match for either salads or sushi" - Roberto Sanchez of Sexy Fish
"Over in Enborne in Berkshire, the All Angels vineyard is named after the local 12th-century parish church of St Michael and All Angels and based on a historic house and estate.
Their wines are also made at Hattingly, but reflect the individual flavour of the vineyards, by adding a little pinot gris – which can work very well in England for still wines – to the traditional varieties for their Classic Cuvee 2014 which delivers just enough weight and complexity to round out the vibrant lemony, slightly nutty flavours."
