Just as good. Attractive, rich, toasty nose with a sweet creamy edge. The palate shows lovely breadth of citrus fruit with some rich toasty, spicy notes and a bit of buttery richness. 92\/100 (Bibendum Wine is the UK agent)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMGP6058.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4905\" title=\"IMGP6058\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMGP6058.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMGP6058.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMGP6058-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMGP6058-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMGP6058-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Southridge Blanc de Noirs English Sparkling Wine 2009 England<\/strong><br \/>\n12.5% alcohol. Made by Ridgeview, this is a blend of Pinot Noir and Pint Meunier. Full yellow colour, with a tiny hint of pink. Rich, fruity, slightly toasty nose is nicely complex and still very fresh. The palate has delicious fruit: citrus, white peach, a hint of cherry. Superbly balanced with some appley notes on the finish. Ideal with pork. 91\/100 (\u00a319.99 Laithwaites)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two very nice sparkling wines: one from Kiwi land and one from over here.
