Denbies Wine Estate Surrey Gold NV

Denbies’ Surrey Gold NV is a deep lemon in colour with gold tints. A pronounced floral, honeysuckle and peach infused nose leads to a well-structured palate, with citrus and stone fruits. There is a pleasing flinty backbone to the wine and hints of spice on the finish. The fruit was sourced from the vineyard’s lower slopes, with its sandy limestone and perfect for elegant, refreshing wines. The very clear juice was fermented at a low temperature to obtain maximum fruit characteristics from the grapes. The residual sugar level of the wine means that it is medium-dry in style.

The vineyards of Denbies Estate are situated on the North Downs, in the town of Dorking, with its famous chalky soil, in a protected valley of south-facing slopes (AONB). Commencing in 1986, a total of 265 acres have been planted to vine, making Denbies England’s largest single-estate vineyard.
