Three Choirs Vineyards “The English House” Dry NV

This excellent “house” white from Three Choirs is crisp, clean and fruity: lemon, lime and pear make a refreshing mix. The Three Choirs Vineyard is south facing on sandy loam soil with a GDC trellis system with 800 vines per acre or 2000 per hectare. Most vines are 10-20 years old, all grapes are hand-picked. The 2017 harvest produced an above average crop with good ripeness levels and most importantly a good level of crisp acidity. The wine required minimum intervention in the winery and produced a wine of typical varietal character.
