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

Fiano, Caiaffa
Caiaffa works to the principle of synergistic agriculture. They believe that nature is man's greatest collaborator, and that nature maintains balance. Certified organic, they do not use insecticides or pesticides in order to encourage a balanced  ecosystem and work at one with nature.
They are especially protective of the insects which live on and around their vines; they work in harmony with them and have established a symbiotic relationship in which both parties benefit. For the bugs make it possible for micro-oxygenation and provide the means for nutrients needed to make passage through the soil. This is reflective in their branding and their packaging.Caiaffa is located in Cerignola, a coastal town in the beautiful Tavoliere delle Puglie, northern Puglia. The Tavoliere area was once completely submerged in sea water, which has influenced a very special climate, in abundance of flora and fauna. The soils here are rich in limestone and the vines benefit from the mild Mediterranean weather. Through these wines, you can truly taste the authentic flavour of the land.
A lively and fresh white wine, with delicate flavours and aromas of ripe citrus fruit, stone fruits and white flowers. Great acidity and well balanced with a lovely long finish.
A great aperitif wine or perfect with salads, asparagus or light fish and shellfish dishes.
