A few kind words...
"Superior English Wines...Astley Veritas 2007"
Jancis Robinson MW [2010]
Old Vine Kerner 2015 - "One of the most iconic and romantic of all English dry white wines...I have stalked this creation for many years because it has a unique flavour and texture and it is unequivocally English ... I have tasted a few worthy examples from northern Italy, but Astley's blush-inducing wine is the finest version I have had the pleasure of meeting"
"English wines to toast on St George's Day...Astley Vineyard Old Vine Kerner 2015...peachy precision"
"One of the best wines that we wanted to include in our round-up – Astley Veritas from Worcestershire – had already sold out by the time we published."
The Independent [2017]
"Proof that fine sparkling wine don't have to be made from Chardonnay & the Pinots...a strikingly distinctive sparkling wine, both in concept and in character."
Great British Wine (blog) [2018]
"Deliciously different...a perfect partner for almost any kind of seafood caught off our coasts"
The Independent [2012]
"The wine to keep in tune with this harmony for me, would be a 2010 Kerner from Astley vineyards...the match is beautiful"
Sarah Riddle (sommelier at Sketch, London )
"Five of Borough Market’s best dessert and fortified wines...2014 Astley Late Harvest"
