A unique English wine, a medium-sweet still Riesling. Ripened in the glorious summer of 2018, and picked late in October it is soft and opulent.
There are flavours of peach and mango, with lightly honeyed notes and a hint of creaminess. It is bright in the glass, and pairs beautifully with desserts and cheese.
To ripen Riesling in the UKs cool climate to produce a still wine with acids in balance is a real challenge and a great success. We chose the grapes carefully, pressed gently, fermented in stainless steel and bottled by hand in January 2018.
Since then we have left it to soften in bottle in temperature controlled storage.
Award-winning wines from a unique and beautiful location.
Beacon Down vineyard occupies 18 acres of the beautiful High Weald near Heathfield in East Sussex in England. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the vineyard is set on gentle South East facing slopes with stunning views over to Eastbourne and the South Downs. Two fields on the site were planted with nearly 10,000 vines in May 2015 and have thrived on the sandstone slopes and Sussex sunshine.
