Medot Slovenian Sparkling Wine with Bimber English Whisky

Pairing Slovenian Sparkling Wine with English Whisky.

Medot

The vineyard of the Medot estate lies across three hectares in the heart of Goriška Brda, The wine tradition of the Simčič family goes back to as early as 1812.

Bimber

Bimber takes its name from the Polish for moonshine. The distillery was founded in August 2015, with the first vodka bottling in early 2016.

They use only natural ingredients and traditional methods to craft a unique range of spirits.

In June 2019 Bimber will distill one of the first Single Malt Whiskies to have been made in London for a century.

We’ve got six London Single Malt Spirits to try.

Medot and Bimber Pairing

I decided to pair the Medot Cuvée Extra Brut with the Bimber Signature Edition and this was the result.

Tasting Notes: “It brings out subtle whiskey flavours and crisp citrus and ripe green apples thus a great balance and pairing, I noticed a touch of spicy chocolate in length, very pleasing,”
