We, and Reggie, who incidentally was pregnant at the time with Gorse, Sugar and others, visited Wendy and Charles Outhwaite at Ambriel in 2018. We recognised in them people who had given up professional careers for something they believed in and cared about. All of their wines were excellent, but it was the demi-sec that blew us away – a big British bramley apple on a romantic date with an Italian ripe peach, a perfect pairing of acidity with a delicious touch of sweetness. Perfect in its own right and for those who do not like their sparkling too dry.
