Davenport Horsmonden Dry White Blend (6 Bottles) Rotherfield, East Sussex, England
£100.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our flagship wine boasts a delicate blend of peach, floral, and yeasty flavors, complemented by a soft, broad palate. The 2023 harvest yielded a bountiful crop, carefully hand-picked after a brief delay to ensure optimal ripeness.
This aromatic dry white wine, bottled in June 2024, showcases a harmonious balance of Bacchus, Ortega, Faber, Siegerrebe, and Huxelrebe grape varieties. With 11% alcohol and no added yeast, the wine’s natural fruit aromas (hedgerow, citrus, elderflower) will continue to evolve over time.
Aged in large foudres, 10% of the blend adds a silky texture and creamy structure, without imparting oak flavors. Enjoy this elegant wine in its youth or cellar for a few years.

Our commitment to organic farming, certified by the Soil Association since 2000, has yielded exceptional fruit quality and wines with depth and character.
Our winery, located in Rotherfield, East Sussex, produces up to 70,000 bottles annually. Will Davenport, with his expertise in winemaking, and Ben Connor, our experienced vineyard manager, work together to craft our wines.
In 2022, we took on the management of a larger farm, including 43 acres of vineyards and 70 acres of apple orchards. We plan to transition the non-organic vineyards to organic practices over the next 5 years. Meet Marvin, our loyal winery dog, who may not be as visible these days, but remains a beloved member of our team.
