If you’re looking for a truly exceptional Oregon If you’re looking for a truly exceptional Oregon Pinot Noir, then I suggest trying a bottle of the @beauxfreres Vineyard 2014 Pinot Noir. In the glass, this wine proudly presents itself as being unfined and unfiltered which really exudes a sense of the rugged Oregon terroir that I know and so dearly love. The characteristic ruby red Pinot Noir colour is beginning to show-off subtle garnet hues, which is about right considering it’s an ageing wine. On the nose you’ll delight in a vibrant perfume of violets, red raspberries, red plums, a decadent pomegranate note along with a bit of oak and cloves. Wait…there’s more! I start to smell figs and dried cherries along with mushroom notes that are all so characteristic of a beautifully ageing Pinot Noir. On the palate, the flavours burst and are carried along a lengthy finish filled with smooth tannins, uplifting acidity and a beautiful raspberry cordial note on the back palate. Such a great wine that is the embodiment of Oregon Pinot Noir. I highly recommend buying a bottle or another vintage if you can fine one. Cheers! xx . . . . #pinotnoir #oregonpinotnoir #oregonwines #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry #wine #vin #vino #wein #winebloggers #winetasting #winelover #winelovers #pinot #redwine #rödvin #vinotinto #vinrouge #vinhotinto #vinorojo #beauxfreresvineyard #beauxfreres #vigneview
With New Year's Eve just around the corner, you ma With New Year's Eve just around the corner, you may be looking for that perfect bottle of bubbly. I highly recommend buying a bottle of Specially Selected, @aldiuk Crémant du Jura 2018 which hails from France's Crémant du Jura AOC region and is priced at only £8.49 a bottle!!! Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes according to the traditional méthode champenoise, this sparkling wine imparts subtle white springtime blossom aromas along with zesty lemon, green apple and toasted bead notes. The effervescence is vibrant, yet pleasingly expressive on the palate, enabling the flavours to linger so you can also enjoy the moment just a tad bit longer. So, what exactly is a crémant wine and how does it compare with one from Champagne? Well, the answer to this question and many more, as well as a fantastic cheese pairing, are on my website.

It’s Christmas and I’m bringing out the best…a bottle of @francoconternowine Bussia Barolo Riserva DOCG 2007 that my husband and I purchased when we visited Piedmont, Italy during the summer of 2017 while celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. We specifically asked for a 2007 Riserva to commemorate the year we got married. So, it's December 2021 and time to open this sleeping beauty! Let's bring on the Barolo! You’ll be amazed with how powerful the aromatics are within this aged Barolo. Notes of rose petals, dried red fruits, truffle, tobacco and tar notes, typical of an aged Barolo, will lure you in. On the palate, you’ll continue to savour liquorice, a bit of spiciness and further earthiness on a long and memorable finish. While this is a 14 year old wine, it still retains a desirable level of acidity with noticeable tannins. However, I think you could still age this wine a further 2-3 years as a great opportunity see how it evolves further…thank goodness we purchased two bottles!! What do you think…should I open the second one now or age it a bit longer? May your holiday season be merry and filled with wonderful wines! Cin Cin! x . . . . . #wine #vin #vino #wein #vinho #italianwine #piedmontwine #barolowine #barololovers #winebloggers #vigneview #winetasting #winelover #winelovers #winetime #instawine #winestagram #redwine #winery #wineoclock #winelife #italy #rödvin #vinotinto #vinrouge #vinhotinto #vinorosso #foodandwine
We’ll, it’s almost Christmas and I’ve manage We’ll, it’s almost Christmas and I’ve managed to escape the chaos with a relaxing evening away @astadvingard in Halland, Sweden. By this point you’re probably thinking…Sweden has vineyards and wine?!?! Yes, it sure does and this one is amazing! Nestled between two lakes just an hour south of Gothenburg, you’ll encounter a 4 hectare Solaris vineyard, two restaurants (one has a Michelin Star), an incredible Scandi-style spa and unparalleled scenic beauty in the Swedish countryside. To make everything just that little bit more magical, it even started snowing last night! If you’re curious about Solaris (the grape and the wine) as well as this wonderful Swedish vineyard, then head to my website. Skål! . . . #swedishwines #solaris #solariswine #whitewine #vinoblanco #vino #wine #wein #vin #vinho #vitvin #wineblogger #wineblogger #winetastings #wineandfoodpairings #vigneview #wine #winelover #winelovers #winetime #instawine #winestagram #wineoclock #sommelier #winelife #sparklingwine #swedishsparklingwine
When I saw this bottle of @bodegaelesteco Don Davi When I saw this bottle of @bodegaelesteco Don David Blend of Terroirs Malbec in my local @coopuk store, I just had to try it. The fact that ‘terroir’ is on the label really grabbed my attention. Winemakers who consider terroir and the impact it may have on their final wine, in my books, are approaching their winemaking on a more holistic level. Basically, the grapes are not an isolated entity…everything leaves its mark in the winemaking process! This wine is made using grapes from two different altitudes within Argentina’s Calchaquí Valley which is high-altitude region located in the northwestern Salta Province. When grown at higher elevations, Malbec develops incredible complexities and elegant nuances. The fact that this Malbec is a blend of two different terroirs, simply enables the winemaker to add more depth to the wine. On the nose, you’ll enjoy aromas of fresh violets, stewed red plums, black cherries, blackberries and cassis. I also detected a little bit of vanillas as well as a smokey, tobacco note from 9 months of oak ageing. On the palate, this wine continued to delight the senses. Further flavours of blackcurrant, a bit of menthol and a subtle peppery spicy note accompanied smooth tannins and an uplifting, flavourful finish that lingered. The range of complexities found within this wine are a clear indicator of diverse terroir. Without these variables, this wine, just simply put, wouldn’t be as interesting. I’m just loving the fact that this Malbec is all about the terroir! Additionally, this is a Fairtrade wine…So, at £9 a bottle, I think you should give this bottle a try! Check out my website for more information about Malbec, high altitude wines and to further understand the meaning of terroir.
