Brookfields and Askerne Wineries

Another nice day... The morning was quiet, but at noon I got picked up for the winery tour. We were a group of ten, me being the only one younger than 60 as well as the only Non-British🙃Nevertheless, it was a great tour.The first winery to visit was Brookfields, probably already my favourite of the day. We tasted six different wines and they were all good. The owner explained a lot about the wines and the tasting took place in a nice room like alike a wine cellar. The second winery was Askerne, again six wines to be tasted, but here the tasting took place directly in a kind of sterile shop what was not so nice. In general, the wines were good, too, but did not convince me as much as Brookfields. Very interesting was the Dessert Cabernet, which we had with a piece of dark chocolate and tasted very different before and after having eaten the chocolate (afterwards it had a taste of cherry whereas before it had different fruity notes).Read more
