The Wine Society, The Society's English White, England 2019

The label is pretty kitsch, but appropriate here – one sip conjures up thoughts of English hedgerows and wildflowers. It's made by Gloucestershire winery Three Choirs, who planted their first vines in the early 1970s, and there's no Bacchus in sight. This is a blend of traditional grape varieties Madeleine Angevine, Reichensteiner and Seyval Blanc, among others. There's a little gooseberry and citrus fruit but it's mainly floral in character, fresh and aromatic. Includes a little reserve wine from the warmer 2018 vintage, to add roundness. Would be lovely with goats cheese.
