Melbury Vale Batch #02 The Signature (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England
£90.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
When Melbury Vale first built their winery, that vintage yielded a very small crop of what became the original Signature wine. It was a one-off bottling that represented a light fruity red wine that could be enjoyed throughout the summertime. Fast forward a few years later and our winemaker, through some blending trials, found that some of the 2018 red blend mixed with the 2018 rosé wine in tank created a juicy, fruity, flavorful light red we couldn’t stop sipping. The 2018 rosé was slightly different from the 2019 Virtue we bottled, so we decided to use the rosé in a fun, experimental way. While it’s not typical to blend red and rosé wine, once the blending started we felt like we had created something novice wine lovers all the way to oenophiles would enjoy and appreciate. On the nose you immediately pick up notes of wild cherry, fig, and bramble, while the palate is a burst of cranberry, pomegranate, and hibiscus. Best served slightly chilled, this is a crowd pleaser and is a great base wine for a party jug of a sangria type wine cocktail.
Food Pairings: charcuterie spread with cured meats, hard cheeses, grilled peppers, artichokes, and olives. Could also stand up to any dark chocolate dessert because of the bright fruitiness. Also try with balsamic macerated berries.
About Melbury Vale Winery
Melbury Vale farm, situated near Melbury Mill and Cann Mill, was purchased by siblings Clare and Glynn in 2003. The 28-acre derelict farmland and buildings were lovingly restored and converted into a thriving agricultural business. A vineyard was planted in 2006 with the help of family and friends. Following the success of their first wine, which won a silver medal, Clare built a winery that was nominated for a design award and received government funding for its sustainable features.
Today, Clare runs the winery and vineyard business, which includes a cider orchard and two cedar lodges. The business has expanded to include wine distillation, producing liqueurs, brandy, and aromatised wines. The winery, built into the hillside, features sustainable design elements, such as a wildflower meadow roof and rainwater harvesting. The location offers stunning views, peaceful surroundings, and opportunities for stargazing, making it an ideal getaway for small groups of friends and family.
