Served at a drinks party at my mother's house ahead of my sister's wedding. With limited experience of English wine, I was pleasantly surprised by this clean, crisp white.

Look, not the most complex of wines. But showing some nice perfume, apple and pear. Good, consistent mid palate, with a clipped finish. But kinda cool to drink a wine from England, and from a label under an hour away from my family.

Pure nose with hints of gooseberry. Medium bodied with good balance and pleasing fruit like melon. Good effort.

One of my favourite wines. Crisp white. Not too acidic. Enjoy it again and again

2015 vintage surprisingly excellent . Considerably better than the 2014! superior to the 'bacchus' from chapel down. Paired with sea bass & fennel salad
