It’s a busy month so far in the celeb world of wines!

Following the steps of Pitt? Idris Elba, actor, writer & producer enters the wine business by announcing he has created a Champagne and rose for his brand which he unveiled at a launch party in London last Thursday (3rd September).

Elba who is famous for his roles in TV series Luther and the Avengers films has announced that the wines, a Provence rose and a blanc de blanc Grand Cru Champagne, are being produced by Chateau Sainte Marguerite and Champagne Sanger.

Elba’s rosé, the 2019 vintage, is made from a typical blend of Grenache and Cinsault. Champagne Sanger is in fact a college run by students and faculty cellar masters at the Avize Viti Campus. The school produceds Champagne from the Cote des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, including a number of Grand Cru plots

Asked what his favourite tipple is on a normal day, the actor said he’s a Veuve Clicquot fan. “I like something that’s easy drinking…so you can have a few glasses and be ok”, he said.

Elba said the Champagne label came about after he was invited to the Avize Viti Campus 18 months ago along with then-girlfriend (now wife), Sabrina Dhowre. After their stay, Champagne Sanger offered Elba a batch of the wine to sell under his own label “to commemorate our time at the school.”

Last week also saw UK supermodel Cara Delevingne launching her own Prosecco brand alongside her sisters Chloe and Poppy, called the Della Vite which includes a range of Prosecco Superiore DOCG and a Treviso Prosecco DOC. The trio partnered with the Biasiotto family, owners of the Foss Marai estate in Valdobbiadene.

Della Vita Superiore DOCG is made from handpicked Glera grapes from 40-year-old vines and is fermented with natural yeasts. Said to offer aromas of citrus blossom and is “rich and extra-dry with hints of crostini, chamomile and a mineral palate that lingers”.

Della Vite Treviso Prosecco DOC on the other hand, is said to be “refined and versatile with a clean and bright palate, packed with aromas of jasmine and lavender” and feature a handwritten signature logo devised by Poppy Delevingne. Della Vita Superiore DOCG has gone on sale in the UK for £25, while Della Vite Treviso Prosecco DOC has an RRP of £20.

Pop icon Kylie Minogue has expanded her new wine range with a Sauvignon Blanc and a Merlot made from grapes sourced from the south of France. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from vineyards in Gascony, and is said to have aromas of gooseberry and lime blossom, while the Merlot’s fruit comes from France’s Pays d’Oc region, claiming to have notes of bramble, cherry, plum and spice.

Launching her wine brand back with a Vin de France rosé which at the end of May this year. Minogue has also added a more premium-positioned Provence rosé to the line this month too with the possibility of a high-end Chardonnay on the cards from Western Australia to come!

  • Some beautiful finds at the recent Koili Wine Festival and tasting some of Paphos’ lesser known wineries and gems of wines 🍷 

Continuing to surprise us and encourage our love for Cyprus Wines I had the pleasure to experience @nikodemoswinerypanayia wines (specifically their Xynisteri ‘Ayia Paraskevi’), Chryssorogiatissa Monastery, Theophanous Winery and @winerykalamos 

🍷 Wine of the festival: Allios from @winerykalamos. A new Xynisteri in the market, this delicate wine is aged for 4 months in Acacia oak barrels giving it a gorgeous gold tint, a touch of honey, tropical flavours and lychee 💛

  • “She has a way with words, red lipstick and making an entrance”

Yet, lipstick stains on a wine glass are not a pretty sight. 🍷💄💋

Then there is the debate of whether or not lipstick (and of course this will also be lipstick dependent), can affect the taste of the wine.

6 Course Dinner @ @bistrot55 😍

From start to finish the food was incredible, the complexity of the flavours in every dish and the overall menu was perfectly engineered

With the choice of a carnivore, pescatarian and vegan menu in either 5 or 6 courses you’re sure to be catered for 

(The wine photographed was not included 😉 but a wine pairing option is available with your set course menu)

  • Let’s talk about flavour vs taste 🍷…

You may think but aren’t they’re the same? Though they are similar they’re not interchangeable.

Once you learn the difference of them, their distinct experiences, you’ll become much better at cooking as well as more in tune with what you like and dislike in wine.

So how do we define them?

Taste refers to the sense inside our mouth and on our tongue

Aroma occurs inside our noses and specifically refers to our sense of smell

Flavour is when taste and aromas combine.

  • A trip to Nicosia is not without a stop at @myvinemerchants 🍷 for an impromptu tasting of these two beautiful wines 🍷

A Naoussa Red 🇬🇷 and a divine Argentinian Blend 🇦🇷

First up 🍷… @ktima_voyatzi 2018 Xinomavro & Moschomavro blend, and my first time tasting a Moschomavro wine let alone this style of blend 👌a medium bodied bold blend, with complex tannins and medium high acidity this wine would be perfect with some cheese 🧀and game meats with its strawberry, cherry 🍒 and Blackcurrant flavours followed by earthy notes

@pyroswines 2014 Special Blend, only 12,000 bottles produced of this Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon & Malbec blend 🍷 deep purple in colour this wine has delicate tannins and a great mouthfeel with flavours of red fruits, blackberries, oak & a touch of chocolate too 🍫 a superb wine especially at its price range! This special blend is not yet available in Cyprus so watch this space (pop us a DM if you’d like to be one of the first to get your hands on a bottle)

  • For many years, I found out that trying to predict future wine 🍷 trends is that they are different all around the world 🌎...

There are many reasons why people choose wine 🍷 so differently to one another, namely they are geographical, economical and above all cultural. Moreover, the selection of wines offered by distributors is not the same in every country

From organic farming to orange wine, to the future of prosecco 🥂 we discuss what trends we can expect to see in the industry for 2022
