About this item
A delicious, dry white with enticing notes of crisp and refreshing citrus and green fruits balanced with subtle peach and hints of minerality. Made from a blend of roughly equal Bacchus, Ortega and Seyval Blanc with a little Solaris and Pinot Gris. At least 50% of the Ortega is barrel fermented giving an added creaminess. A lovely example of the cool climate varieties grown at Woodchester Valley. Enjoy as an aperitif or accompanying food. Lovely with shellfish, seafood pasta and a variety of chicken dishes.

About the producer
Woodchester Valley was established in 2007 when a single acre was planted on their Amberley site to assess the suitability of the land for growing vines. Their first vintage, a crisp dry Bacchus was produced from the 2010 harvest. This was followed by a further planting in 2011, with the Woodchester site planted in 2012 (20 acres), and Doverow in 2013 (another 20 acres). The winery was established in 2016, with the 2016 vintage being the first year that wines were produced on site.
TASTING NOTES
Ideal to enjoy as an apéritif or alongside a variety of dishes. Try with pan-fried chicken or king prawn linguine.
