You'll be able to buy wine on the day or place orders for pick up or delivery at a later date. EARLY BIRD TICKETS AVAILABLE UNTIL 30TH NOVEMBER £30.00 www.nottinghamwinefestival.com We are delighted to announce that Marion Schoffit will be with Gauntleys in Nottingham on the evening of Wednesday, 16th October, to present a selection of the exciting Alsace wines of Domaine Schoffit. We have had the great pleasure of working with this superb domaine for several decades and needless to say, their wines are firm favourites with the Gauntley team.
Managed today by Marion’s husband, Alexandre Schoffit, it was Alexandre’s father Bernhard, who really elevated the profile of the estate in the late 1980s, purchasing prime sited land on the esteemed, Grand Cru Rangen. The incredible quality of his Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann, Clos St. Theobald, swiftly led to comparisons with the other major player here, Zind Humbrecht. Certified organic and following bio-dynamic principles, the estate produces a range of wonderfully expressive and beautifully balanced generics from their vineyards around Colmar and sensational examples from the powerful terroir of the Rangen. Across the board, these wines offer remarkable value for their exceptional quality. We do hope that you will be able to join us! Tickets for this wonderful evening are priced at a mere £30 per person and are available from Victoria Richards: [email protected] https://mailchi.mp/gauntleys.com/an-audience-wine-tasting-evening-with-marion-schoffit?e=de4b55b0a5  Members of the DDWS "Red Team" made a special trip to Duncan Murray Wines in Market Harborough. We were hosted personally by Duncan and we were lucky to get to taste 5 of his preselected wines:
