A big thank you to everyone who braved the miserable weather on Sunday to bring in this haul of about 400kg pinot grapes. All now pressed and in a vat awaiting the addition of the Seyval to make this year's sparkling. Picking will be the end of this week sometime, we're just waiting to get a clearer picture if what the weather is doing - announcement very soon!
Good picking

A great review from Great British Wines
Dalwood Still White Wine 2020
Grapes: Madeleine Angevine, Solaris & Seyval Blanc
Region: Devon
I’ve written previously on how Mike Huskin’s Dalwood Still White Wine has forced me to sit up and take notice of English White Wine blends and not just focus on the single varietal wines. This 2020 is another stellar vintage of his curious blend of Madeleine Angevine, Solaris and Seyval Blanc.
On the nose there are aromas of lemon and lime zest, pear drops and crunchy orchard fruit, with a seasoning of fresh ginger and white flowers.
This wine really sings on the palate, initially bursting with vibrant citrus and crunchy green fruit, then softening to ripe peach and mango notes. Finally, there’s a lengthy finish of grapefruit and minerality, with that hint of ginger lingering in the background too.
That review was like a beautiful poem - not sure you could write anything better
This is a delicious wine. I'm loving it. 🙂
I understand that English Wines are best because they are from English grapes whereas British wines can be made from grape juice from abroad and fermented here. Is that correct? Good luck we will buy some bubbly when in stock. 🙂
