It was the vision of
farmer Martin Vickers 30 years ago to plant a vineyard in
Staffordshire. Today, some 30 acres of vines are managed by Martin
and produce award-winning wines crafted by his son Clive. We have
dealt with them over the years and I have to say that they make authentic
wines that don’t sell out to the ‘sweet & sour’ winemaking of some
English wineries. The Long Acre is dry Schonburger/Siegerrebe blend
with just a hint of sweet fruit on the finish. The Pinot Noir soft but
displays gentle red berry fruit typical of the grape. The Late Harvest
is a fine pudding wine made from a blend of super ripe Huxelrebe and Bacchus
grapes.

The ‘Classic Cuvée’ beat
Dom Pérignon in a blind tasting and was served by the
Queen at her mother’s 100th birthday celebrations. Made from a blend of the
great
champagne grapes of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, it is arguably the
greatest sparkling wine from outside the champagne region. And don’t miss the
supremely elegant ‘Non-Vintage Rosé’: - wonderful value The ‘Blanc de Blancs’
the wine that famously was mistaken for Billecart-Salmon Grand Cru by 13 out of
14
French wine judges in Paris in April 2016. Now on our list is the single
vineyard
Tillington Estate and the two prestige cuvée wines ‘1086’ – only made in
exceptional
years and named after the year of the estate’s first mention in the Doomsday
Book - that are set to rival the likes of Krug and Dom Pérignon.
