Moores Hill Estate — Attraction in Sidmouth

Lovely. Delightful. Local and dare i say authentic.

Neatly situated by the side of the road - reasonable choice of foods & zesty dips & cheeses making up their platters with very nice wine tasting options. Between us we have enjoyed these fine wines (so far)

Delightful Sparkling Riesling - subtle (delicate sherbet-like) bubbles and i think hint of pear (yummy).

Traditional french-method Sparkling Blanc de blanc - fair flavoured, lean and elegant.

2020 Rose is a personal favourite with a slight hint of Turkish-delight (early sweetness which apparently fades away within a few months - not designed for long-term cellaring).

2019 Chardonnay - pretty cool (delicate) citrus & brioche flavours and we think a hint of butterscotch.

2019 Riesling - lovely, lovely and zesty! This is their signature wine and fair enough too!

2019 Pinot Noir - yes please with the notes of blackberry & maraschino. Subtle but no pushover - my absolute pick o’ the bunch. Huzzah!

Thank you - we...

The view from the balcony here is really nice. Though the day we visited it was raining so we chose the comfort of the sofa inside. The wine tasting is less personal here, you are charged for a flight and select your wine from the list and it is delivered to your table with tasting notes. If you stop in here and have not eaten get the toasted cheese sandwich, it was amazing. The grazing platter (the people next to us had it) looks superb also. The wines were not so much to my taste but of course still...
