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.
Stanlake Park Wine Estate Berkshire Breeze – Peach (6 Bottles) Twyford, Berkshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INLCUDED
Berkshire Breeze is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Made with Madeleine Angevine grapes and natural peach flavour, this refreshing drink perfectly combines the soft, delicious character of ripe peach with a crisp, citrusy profile. Very flavoursome, with a medium body, a fleshy finish and a slightly off-dry character. Vegan friendly.
Best served very chilled. Delightful on its own, or for an extra refreshing twist, serve it over ice with a sprig of mint and a slice of fresh peach. Great also as a cocktail ingredient and for a spritz. Perfect alongside vibrant green salads, grilled fish and fruit tart.
This aromatised wine-based drink is made with Madeleine Angevine grapes fermented at a low temperature in stainless-steel vessels to retain the delicate floral characteristics. Aged for a few months in neutral vessels before release, and then aromatised with natural peach essence.
The bottle has no plastic or metal capsule to avoid unnecessary packaging. A simpler look for a more sustainable future!
