Tasted by: Tina Gellie
(at London, 22 Jul 2020)
A quintessential taste of the English countryside, brimming with aromas and flavours of gooseberry, elderflower and hedgerow. 'This is the UK's answer to Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc,' says Gavin Monery. It's an extroverted style, with high acid and punchy flavours, and the crisp, clean, juicy palate is moreish and the perfect picnic wine. The 2019 vintage, released in September 2020, is equally as delicious and exuberant, with tart grapefruit notes alongside the gooseberry, elderflower and hedgerow. The fruit for both vintages comes from the Yew Tree Vineyard in Oxfordshire. 5,500 bottles made.
