Do the Mollydooker shake!

Throwing it back to the Mollydooker shake! 🫨 Our wine tastings are always fun, but we’ve never before burned a few calories whilst enjoying our wine 😂 As explained in the video, shaking Mollydooker Wines' red wines releases the nitrogen in the bottles, which in turn releases the flavours. 🫧 Give it a go for yourself: pop in store and purchase a bottle of this delicious Australian red! 🍷

What we're drinking: Soave Classico.

What we’re drinking this week: Soave Classico. In the 1970s and 1980s, Soave unfortunately gained itself a reputation for producing - shall we say - not the most exciting of wines. But that’s why we’re actually excited to show you this: Soave Classico. With Soave Classico, you need to put aside any preconceptions you may have about this wine: if you do, you’ll discover it’s a dry wine with stone fruits and a juicy finish, which is utterly delicious. Pair with rich Italian dishes such as seafood pasta and risotto, or alternatively enjoy with medium strength cheeses. Pop in store today and discover this classic for yourself!

Join us for the Mollydooker shake on Tuesday 16th June! 🍷 👋 And why are we shaking our Mollydooker Wines? Read on! 👇 Mollydooker use nitrogen in their wine making process. If you’re drinking one of their fab sparking, white or rosé wines, there’s no need to shake. However, with their reds, once a small glass has been poured, you should replace the cap, turn the bottle upside down, and give it a good shake! 🍷👋 By using nitrogen, it protects the wine and minimises sulphates. But that does mean that nitrogen can suppress the flavour; giving the bottle a shake releases the flavour again! Want to find out more? Join us for our Mollydooker Wines tasting on Tuesday 16th July to discover these wonderful Australian wines! Call the store on 01277 204899 today to secure your place.

Think we can't make a decent red wine in this country? Think again!

What we’re drinking this week: Lyme Bay Pinot Noir 2021. 🍷 Earlier on this week we profiled one of our favourite English wine makers, Lyme Bay Winery. And today, we’re profiling one of our favourite wines from their range, the 2021 Pinot Noir. An English wine, made with the best fruit available in the UK, and aged in 32% new oak, you’ll find that this serious Pinot Noir is packed full of cherries, brambly fruit and red berries, with the subtle oak flavour complementing these. We think it’s one of the best English wines available, and if you think that we can’t make a decent red in this country, you need to try this. It’s delicious, and pairs beautifully with duck cassoulet, gammon, roast lamb or grilled aubergine. Trust us: pop in store today to purchase a bottle to try for yourself. 📍 Shenfield Wine Company, 86 Hutton Road, Shenfield, CM15 8NB.
