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.

Dalwood Vineyard was showing its early summer best last night!
We trying to get away without using herbicides this year… hence the growth under the vines!!
We unsure how we going to manage it yet, lots of ideas to ponder!
We seem to have amazing amount of flower heads appearing so the potential looks great!
Here hoping for that orange thing in the sky to stay out….😎🌞

NEW LIFE... bud burst
We a couple of weeks behind but they are stirring
Just need Jack Frost and his mates to leave us ALONE!!
A devastating week for the vineyards of France. Grower Vincent Dancer of Chassagne-Montrachet with the most dramatic of images as they tried to fight off the frost in Burgundy.
Awful to see the scale of the region affected. Keeping my fingers crossed that you guys are ok.

And they know....Recently we’ve really raved about our Castelnau Champagne with all the gift sets and giant bottles! It really is an incredible champagne and those who have tried it will know it’s multiple levels above a Moët without being any more expensive!
However let’s talk about the epic English Sparklings available as alternatives for that all important bottle of Christmas bubbles!
From the left we have the creamy buttered popcorn aromas of the Corallian from Langham, in Dorset, who recently won Best Sparkling producer of 2020 (in the world!) the most “Champagne” like of the 3.
In the middle, a fun and fruity easy drinker from our favourite vineyard Astley Vineyard in Worcestershire. There’s a hint of sweetness here with the concept being a mix of Champagne quality with the drinkability of a Prosecco. (Top tip, it’s great with those nibbles just before the main feast!)
On the right, our most recent addition to our English sparkling range. The Dalwood Sparkling by Dalwood, in Devon (near Honiton) is a more serious sparkling but with fresher fruit notes leading to a spiced pear crumble finish. All those awards over the years though, it’s got to be considered one of the best of English!
Help us support English Vineyards this year and perhaps try something new this Christmas! All are available online at www.wine-hub.co.uk
Or pop in for a coffee whilst you have a closer look 👀
