Favourite wine? The peachy, fruit-forward sparkling wine Istenic No. 1 Special Cuvée from Slovenia. What a wine!
Favourite food? Carbonara, although anything Italian pasta wise is delicious.
Best cheese and wine combo? Pinot Noir and Brie. The light berry notes of the Theodorus Spatburgunder work particularly well...
Outside of work I like to... socialise with friends, cook and spend time with my family for outdoor activities and walks.
The next big thing? Who knows!
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.
