2009 Horsmonden Dry White

"Why go to Italy for a light, delicate wine when it's grown in England? This mild elegant wine comes from a young winemaker who trained in Australia. It's in conversion too, which means it's half way to being organic" - Sarah Jane Evans, BBC Good Food Magazine, May 2003

Blended from the best grapes picked from our Horsmonden vineyard, this is a bone-dry white wine, made in a "Loire" style. It has plenty of fruit and tangy citrus flavours, with a hint of yeast in the background, good concentration and length. This is our "flagship" wine, making up almost 60% of our annual production in most years. Our Horsmonden dry white wine regularly features among the medal winners in the UKVA wine of the year competition and some years does better, such as the 2005 vintage which won the Soil Association Food Awards Gold Medal (for the best organic wine world-wide). The 2009 vintage is fruity while young and will develop the mineral complexity that is becoming the signature of our dry white wines.

The blend, as in previous vintages is based on the Ortega, Bacchus, Faberrebe and Huxelrebe and Siegerrebe

We recommend this wine to accompany most food,  white meats, fish and it is especially good with smoked or slightly spicy food - extremely versatile wine for all occasions.
