Move over Margaux and Champagne. The corks are popping at the Tinwood Estate in Sussex, after it was appointed a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for wine, a first for the UK. The status is a guarantee of quality and geographical provenance.

Daily vineyard tours and wine tasting start from £21 pp. For more, or to order some bottles online, visit the Tinwood Estate here.

At the recent London Wine Fair, one of the UK wine trade’s most closely watched tastings brought together some of the globe’s leading examples of the grape for a rigorous blind assessment. The result was a…
As the evenings draw in and the air turns crisp, it’s time to swap chilled spritzes for something with a little more depth. Autumn is all about slow dinners, cosy gatherings, and bottles that bring comfort and character to the table – and these pours are the perfect companion to any cosy night in. From…
