It's #EatWhatYouWantDay ⁉️.. (we're just as confused as you are) It does, however, present the perfect opportunity to draw your attention to Rich Witter, one of our Senior Business Managers. Affectionately known as the office hoover in marketing, less affectionately known as the biscuit thief in customers services, Rich lists one of his hobbies as 'attempting to exercise enough to justify my eating'. So with that in mind, he's decided to cycle from Darlington to St Albans (approx. 260 miles!), between sunrise and sunset, on the longest day of the year (21st June). Setting off from Darlington at 4:30am, it's non-stop for Rich to get home before the sun sets at 9:25pm, finishing at the Clock Tower in St Albans town centre for a celebratory Tio Pepe. Besides biscuits, wildlife is one of Rich's biggest passions, so he's raising money for the Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust in the process 👏🌻 If you'd like to support this epic undertaking the link below will take you to Rich's Just Giving page 👇, or you can find it in the linktree in our bio! https://bit.ly/3KQe3CA

Pazos de Lusco is a good place to start on our Singular Estates tour, as we know that albariño is already much loved in the UK market, and rightly so. What makes Lusco so special? It's that terroir driven, remarkable weight and texture that complements the fresh character of the wines so exquisitely. The slight inland location of the winery and its rolling slopes maximise sun exposure and drainage, meaning richer, riper grapes which help develop a silken mouthfeel in the resulting wines. One of the shared values of our Singular Estate wines is a strong sense of origin and unique terroir characteristics, which is simply Lusco all over. Interestingly, a little bit of bottle aging doesn't go amiss here. The Pazo Piñiero in particular, with its barrel fermentation and lees aging, develops a subtle honeyed hazelnut layer which is just so moreish and complex with a long, lingering finish... And the name? In Galician, Lusco is often seen in expressions referring to 'twilight', that fleeting moment of the day where the sun has all but disappeared and the sky stays lit for only a moment longer... #singularestatewines #pazosdelusco #boutiquewine #boutiquewineries #albarino #albariño #albariñoriasbaixas #albarinowine #albariñowine

Why yes, it's #InternationalSauvignonBlancDay, and no, we're not cracking out the sherry to celebrate (although that would be a very funny joke..😶) The UK can't get enough #SauvBlanc, so we've highlighted what make some of ours truly spectacular! #1 Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc - Veramonte is 100% organic and vegan, hailing from our ultra-sustainable winery in Chile. Low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks allows for layer upon layer of juicy lime and tangerine to develop, dotted with subtle floral notes 🌎 #2 Neil Ellis Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc - from South Africa, one for those seeking a little more greenery alongside their tropical fruits. Think nuances of freshly cut grass, gooseberry and bell pepper. A perfect example of terroir specificity. 🌿 #3 Jackson Estate Grey Ghost Sauvignon - because one simply can't shout about Sauvignon Blanc without a kiwi banger in the mix! This one is a little different, with 70% fermentation in 6-year-old French oak barriques and some intensive lees aging and stirring. Those nectarine and white peach components are combined with a complex gun-flint aroma and hints of lees character. The creamy lees component combines with soft acidity and minerality on the palate to form a supremely textured and layered Sauvignon Blanc 🍋 #sauvignonblancday #sauvignonblancday2022 #southafricansauvignonblanc #newzealandsauvignonblanc #chileansauvignonblanc #internationalsauvignonblancday #sauvblancday
