Notes From The Expert
Barnsole Bacchanalian White
The white wine reflects the warmth of 2018 and displays green fruits plus some more tropical aromas of mango and pineapple. The palate is dry but has a generous feel, a rich dryness and lingering finish.
Simpsons Railway Hill Rosé
The rosé is made from Pinot Noir and delivers gentle notes of raspberries and wild strawberries, alongside pear and fresh bread. The wine is dry with fresh acidity, nicely integrated delivering a wonderful cut to the textured palate. The wine has a bit of attitude and character with layered fruits and textured weight. It is a great food wine for heavier fish or white meats.
Biddenden Gamay Red
Only in the warmest of years does the Gamay grape ripen well and make a juicy, red fruited wine. In the past twenty years this vineyard has made only four vintages of red Gamay; 2018 was one such year. The wine is light and carries the aromas of wild strawberry and cherries with a black pepper note. It is juicy and fresh with some fleshy tannins; think hedgerow fruits and the juicy bittersweet character.
About The Growers
White
The white wine is grown on a boutique vineyard by two passionate winemakers near the town of Sandwich. Their philosophy is to tread softly in the environment and to share the land with the local hares, badgers, foxes and many British birds. The first vines where planted in 1993.
Rosé
The rosé is created by a husband and wife team learnt their trade and gained their deep knowledge of winemaking in the Languedoc region of France. They sold up and bought perfect wine growing land in a sheltered chalk valley in an area of outstanding beauty just south of the Cathedral city of Canterbury.
Red
The red wine, from Kent’s oldest vineyard, is grown on soil which is primarily clay loam in the High Weald and by a family of farmers, who have passed their knowledge down the generations and who also product a range of fruit juices and cider.
