Coleridge Hill, Three Choirs Vineyard

The Three Choirs vineyards up in Gloucestershire are some of the most beautiful vineyards you'll find anywhere.  They combine the beauty of a vineyard with the care of English gardening to create a very definitely English wine scene.

I'm proud to say that for one year I owned one vine at Three Choirs.  My sister Alison bought it as part of a birthday present a few years back.  That's the other thing about Three Choirs: this is an authentic commercial operation.  In addition to their "Own a vine for a year" scheme, there is a hotel, restaurant, and cool little wine tasting paddles.  In fact, those wine tasting paddles planted the first seeds in my mind for a wine tasting bar with a specialisation in English wine (check out additional images on this product to see me with the paddles I'm talking about).

Anyways... I digress!  What about THIS wine.  Coleridge Hill is a crisp, dry white wine with pleasing fruity qualities.  A really great every day English.

Blend of Madeleine Angevine and Phoenix grape varieties.
