Wine columnist DENNIS KNILL gives his views on Invivo’s range of white wines.
Founded by Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron in 2008, Invivo is one of our most successful wine producers. Rob Cameron has a strong winemaking background having learnt his craft in Moldova, Cyrus, Bulgaria, and Hungary before taking up residence in France, then venturing onto Spain and Italy to further his skills and to master the finer points of making wine.
Following a cheeky phone call to Graham Norton in 2011, the legendary talk show host not only agreed to putting his name to a range of wines but also became involved as an active shareholder. Fast forward 14 years and the GN brand has now received more than 250 global accolades. And to cap it off, Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex in the City has also given her name and label design to a range of Invivo wines – including her signature on every bottle.
