‘Our House’ Blanc, Rise & Vine

Make Our House Your House – that’s the idea. It’s labelled with the image of a single bay fronted Victorian house which, if you live in our manor, there’s something like an 80% chance looks just like your house. The idea is that you can make this your ‘Tuesday night wine’ – your house wine that you always have on standby for midweek kitchen suppers; an impromptu glass with a mate who just dropped in; or Tuesday night in front of the telly. (Bake Off wine?)

Crisp, refreshing dry white wine with. A fresh nose of lime, basil, freshly cut green grass and guavas. The medium-bodied palate continues with a big hit of fresh grapefruit, more green fruits, flowers and figs in this characterful, easy-drinking dry white.

Not made by our own hands, obviously, but winemakers that we work with very closley have blended this superb – excellent value – white wine from Gascony. On delivery to the cellar, the grapes are cooled then undergo maceration on skins for 10-15 hours before pneumatic pressing and cold settling to preserve the aromas. We then keep the wine on fine lees to retain maximum freshness before crafting into the final cuvée. To ensure freshness, we blend and bottle up to four times a year – an intricate process essential to maintaining stylistic continuity and quality, one which demands knowledge of how each component parcel will evolve.
