Horsmonden Dry, Davenport Vineyards
£17.95
At Davenport Vineyards, Will Davenport has been making wines for 27 years, building from a small start up to a collection of
vineyard sites that total 20 acres. The aim is to make wine of the highest quality possible and to make wine that is a true expression
of their grape varieties, soil and climate of the vineyards. He believes that the best way to achieve this is by interfering as little as
possible and letting nature take its course (with a modicum of guidance of course). The use of organic methods helps to bring the
desired results and has the benefit of also minimising their impact on the environment.
Made from a blend of six grape varieties (including Bacchus, Ortega, Siegerrebe, Faber and Huxelrebe) grown in the original
vineyard plot at Horsmonden, Kent. This wine has been made every year since 1993 and has won many accolades since then. The
wine has been likened to a Sauvignon Blanc style and often mistaken for a NZ wine. It is crisp, aromatic and fruit driven with
greengage and grapefruit flavours and pronounced hedgerow accents.
Perfect for sipping in the sunshine and with light salads

Soave Classico, Monte Tondo
Monte Tondo is a family estate located in the beautiful hillside vineyards of Soave. Here the soils range from volcanic to chalky, which alongside the varying microclimates, gives the wines distinct flavour characteristics and individualistic style.
Alongside his family, winemaker Gino Magnabosco is part of the third generation to run the estate. They believe that hard work, drive, and determination are key to obtaining the best results from their land. Maintaining, nourishing, and cherishing the land of their ancestors is of utmost importance. And although not certified, they farm using organic practices and an environmentally friendly approach to both viticulture and vinification. No chemicals are used in their production and they recycle everything excess coming from the vineyard (stems as fertilizers, skins for grappa, pruned branches for heating and fertilizer).
Small proportions of other varieties are allowed in the production of Soave, but Monte Tondo focus their concentration purely on Garganega. Garganega is a variety so versatile and easily culinary matched but also with the ability to produce complex wines with age-ability.
A very good example of Soave at a very good price. This over-delivers.. Perfect with salads and light fish and shellfish dishes.
