Melbury Vale Sparkling Wine Grace (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England
£180.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A single variety, single vineyard wine that is produced in very limited quantities. On site at Melbury Vale Vineyard we have 500 established Seyval Blanc vines. Seyval blanc as a grape is ideal for the Dorset climate in that it is low maintenance and ripens beautifully. Come harvest, the bunches of grapes are large and have sugar levels perfectly aligned for producing traditional method sparkling wine. This wine is a pale golden color with fine bubbles typical of a high quality English sparkling wine. On the nose there are aromas of fresh citrus and ripe pear, and on the palate there are bright notes of green apple, elderflower, and meyer lemon.
Food Pairings: crispy salted chips, rich brunch dishes, and fruit based desserts
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.
