Hails from: Portishead, England
Favourite wine? My favourite wines are Monsoon Valley Late Harvest Chenin Blanc, closely followed by the delicious Kardos Tundermese "Fairytale" Tokaji - as if I'm not sweet enough! :)
Favourite food? Thai Panang curry with coconut rice but I will eat anything delicious! Something worth trying is the Bibo Runge Rheingau Riesling with Thai food.
Best cheese and wine combo? I'm partial to a glass of Prosecco or a sparkling rosé like Istenic Gourmet Rosé Brut and some goats cheese!
Aldwick Estate
Somerset, England
This absolutely stunning vineyard is set in the Mendip hills in Somerset, just outside of Bristol and Bath. Aldwick Estate has been family-run for five generations and is today Somerset's largest vineyard at 11 acres of vines. The estate is headed up by managing director Sandy Luck. Sandy says the mission for Aldwick is "to balance respect for tradition with the drive for innovation".
Vines are hand-tended throughout the year by a small team based on site. Grapes are hand picked every September and October and pressed by wine maker Steve Brooksbank to create a range of red, white, rosé and sparkling wines.
