From the people behind the eponymous London wine bar and restaurants comes the magazine that started it all. After 10 years and over 30 print issues, Noble Rot is arguably still the indie wine magazine, rewriting the rules of wine coverage.
NR’s 39th issue raises a toast to the best places to produce and consume great wine, examining ‘why location matters so deeply to what we drink’. Inside, Alice Feiring dissects the vanishing of the term ‘terroir’ from vinophile lexicon, Marina O’Loughlin contemplates the connection between our surrounding environment and our tastebuds, and Dan Keeling transports us to the fragrant and formidable ‘roasted slopes of Côte-Rôtie’. Elsewhere, BAFTA-winner Danny Dyer samples a selection of his ‘deadliest reds’, Keira Knightley returns with another hedonistic tale of crustacean consumption, and the NR team sit down with artists Sarah Lucas and Maggi Hambling over a crisp glass of Gonet to reflect on the seemingly inextricable relationship between artists and alcohol.
