The 2016 Annual Mentzendorff Portfolio tasting came with a change of scenery this year, as the team and our full portfolio of winemakers took over One Great George Street, in London’s Westminster on Tuesday 16th February. Guests from the trade and press tasted their way through almost 200 different wines from the entire Mentzendorff portfolio and were guided by the expertise of the producers themselves.

There were also two exciting master classes during the day; the world of sparkling: A blind tasting, hosted by Jane Parkinson where the likes of Bollinger Special Cuvée were pitched against a carefully selected range of alternative Sparkling wines from around the world. Antony Hamilton Russell also hosted “Pinot Noir and Pinotage: A master class”, which showcased an impressive vertical tasting from the Hamilton Russell vineyards range.
