About the Tasting
Alfie Glasser, a wine educator from Liberty Wines, will join us to share three exciting wines from Langham Wine Estate.
Based in rural Dorset, Langham Wine Estate has fast become one of the most sought-after names in English wine. Named ‘Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year’ in 2020 by the International Wine and Spirits Challenge, Langham’s Head Winemaker Tommy Grimshaw is regularly cited as one of England’s best young talents, crafting low-intervention, traditional method sparkling wines from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Langham began as a small vineyard planted by John Langham at his Dorset family home. It remained a hobby until 2009 when his son Justin started making wine in earnest. After studying viticulture at Plumpton, Justin planted the first block of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier at nearby Crawthorne farm, where they are based today. Now joined by a small but dynamic team, Langham remains independent and family-run.
The tasting will feature 3 wines to taste in the silver vessels by Adi Toch and glass flutes by Jochen Holz. Canapés will be served alongside the wines.
About Adi Toch
The tasting will take place in the opening weeks of the Anniversary Exhibition (opening 14th November) and will be followed by our showcase of Adi Toch’s work.
Adi is an artist metalsmith exploring the morphological qualities of vessels and objects around us. Her projects engage the viewer by sensorial interaction through play in perception, movement or investigation of embodied experience. Beginning with a flat sheet, she forms and fabricates metal into delicate hollow objects. She creates unique visual language through intricate surface marks and patination.
“As an artist, vessels and containers offer an innate method of communication for me, conveying a multiplicity of narratives including gathering, holding or carrying. The internal space of an empty vessel contains everything or nothing, depending on our perception. Not only do vessels form part of our lives, they also shape our perception of the basic division between inside and outside, the notion of moving from one framed space into another. Furthermore, our bodily experience relates to containment as it frames and protects us.”
