Madeleine Angevine
Madeleine Angevine is an early-ripening white grape with roots in France’s Loire Valley, though the version grown in the UK is more accurately known as Madeleine x Angevine 7672—a freely pollinated seedling of the original, introduced in the late 1950s and now well established in English vineyards.
Thriving in cool, maritime climates and often maturing sooner than Riesling, this grape delivers crisp, dry wines with a flowery nose and flavors of green apple, pear, citrus, elderflower, and honeysuckle, often supported by a gentle minerality. Its bright acidity and light body make it wonderfully refreshing, and it’s frequently showcased in still styles, blends (with varieties like Seyval Blanc or Bacchus), and even sparkling wines.
For UK wine drinkers, it’s a superb choice with seafood (especially shellfish or crab), delicate salads, fresh herbs, and soft cheeses like goat’s cheese or Brie.

Sandridge Barton Don’t Feed the Ponies Figgie Daniel 2022 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
An energetic wine with a lively spritz. This wine is unfiltered and unfined and contains the lees in the bottle. Col Fondo means 'with the bottom' in Italian, referring to the leftover lees sediment. This is the method in which Prosecco was produced before being overly commercialised but is now regaining popularity.
This wine is light and spritzy with green apple, lemon rind, elderflower and yeasty characters. We recommend a gentle shake before serving to distribute the sediment.
This wine is part of our new Don't Feed The Ponies range of more experimental wines, a reference to a campaign on Dartmoor National Park to discourage visitors from feeding the wild horses that roam there. The source of the River Dart begins way up in the heart of the moors, and it's the river that influences how our grapes grow. For every bottle purchased from this range, we'll donate 25p to the Dartmoor Preservation Association to preserve the natural habitat.
