  2022 Bacchus Single Estate, New Hall Wine Estate

  £1950

  A rich and flavoursome quintessentially English Bacchus, displaying complex and aromatic notes of grapefruit, pear, peach, lime layered with herbaceous overtones of nettle and cut grass.

  The Bacchus vines were planted between 1976 and 2018, on well-sheltered, southern facing slopes of the Crouch Valley. The big skies, low rainfall, coastal breezes and the influence of the Blackwater and Crouch Rivers come together to offer ideal climatic conditions. The area is protected from frosts which is beneficial in the capricious English climate. The vineyard is made up of London clay soils, from the Tertiary age, with chalk concealed below the clay deposits. The vines thrive in these warm soils; the clay offers high retention of nitrogen and the nutrient uptake from the clay soils is evident. The soils also provide good balance to the vigour of the vines. Over the years, this site has proven itself to be an ideal place for the growing of vines in England, producing above average crops of high quality grapes.

  The Chardonnay blocks are planted at 270m above sea level. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean’s Benguela current brings cooling south-easterly breezes to the area, as do clouds hemmed in by the surrounding mountains, trapping cool air and moisture in the narrow Hemel-en-Aarde.

  2023 Petritis, Kyperounda Winery

  £1995

  This wonderful 2019 Petritis from Kyperounda Winery in Cyprus is made from the Xynisteri grape variety, pronounced (Sin-ees-ter-ee), which is a native grape to the island.  These indigenous grapes are grown on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains, in some of the highest vineyards in Europe. The plots sit on rocky terraces, where the soils are made up of sandy clay. Due to the altitude of the vineyards, Kyperounda invariably harvests approximately one month later than vineyards at half their elevation and the long hang time results in concentrated flavours in the fruit, while preserving refreshing acidity.

  In the glass, it has delicious aromas of citrus fruits, candied lime, lychee and a touch of spice and vanilla. It is a medium-bodied yet refreshing wine with a long, persistent finish. 20% of the wine was matured in new oak barrels for two months which has added a subtle oak complexity to the wine.  This will be a great match with white fish, lean meat and canapes/tapas.

  2020 Chardonnay, Mulderbosch
