2021 HORSMONDEN DRY WHITE
ABV: 11.5%
Grapes: Ortega, Bacchus, Siegerrebe, Faber and Huxelrebe

Blossomy lime aromas, zesty freshness and vivacity and great concentration of apple and yeasty flavours. A dry white best filed under ‘refreshing’.
One for Sauvignon Blanc fans to try out.
Will Davenport started planting grape vines in 1991, carefully selecting two sites in south-east England's High Weald. In 2000 both vineyard sites were registered for organic management with the Soil Association, making Davenport Vineyards one of only three commercial UK vineyards to become exclusively organic. Will is constantly looking for ways to improve, mostly by doing less rather than more so his 2007 wines are unfiltered, something of a first amongst English growers.
Serve chilled. Stick in the fridge for a few hours. Awesome with asparagus dishes.
