English wine is no longer the joke it used to be and following close behind the world acclaim for the quality of our sparkling wines the still wines are now begining to gather praise. Situated on the banks of the River Dart near Totnes in South Devon, the Sharpham Estate consists of 500 acres of mixed farmland owned by the Sharpham Trust. The house, designed in 1770 by Sir Robert Taylor, stands on a hill overlooking the vineyards, fields and the winding River Dart. The house is also home of the Sharpham Trust, an educational charity that promotes well being and sustainable living. This off dry wine has a light, fresh character achieved by carefully blending the different grape varieties and partially ageing in American oak. Lovely fruit aromas with supple delicate flavours and a just off dry style, result in a wine ideal for drinking alone or with food. This wine makes for ideal early drinking.
