Yotes Court ‘The Favourite’ Divico 2023 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England

£331.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our highly anticipated, limited release wine is full-bodied with aromas of blackberry and sweet spice, a palate of crunchy red fruit with polished tannins and a bright finish. Made from 100% Divico grapes.

Divico is a new grape variety in England specifically developed to create a rich, fruit-forward red wine in our cool climate. Our third harvest yielded 356 bottles. The wine is deep red in colour with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, tinned plums and sweet spice. The palate is full bodied with crunchy red fruit and vanilla toffee, polished tannins and a bright finish. Our winemaker thinks this wine is a 'bit of a cracker' with good potential to age.

This limited edition wine is hand labelled, individually numbered and signed. It comes in a gift bag with a detailed tech sheet.
