Meophams Valley Vineyard Whitehill 2020
Aromas of citrus fruit, green apple and elderflower; on the palate, ripe pear and melon
Bacchus and Chardonnay were handpicked and blended to produce this lively, fresh, fragrant white wine. An expressive wine, packed with aromas of citrus fruit, green apple and elderflower with subtle grassy, herbaceous notes. On the palate, ripe pear and melon are prominent, with more tropical underlying stone fruit adding weight to a crisp, lengthy finish. Meopham Valley Vineyard is located in the North Downs of Kent and spans approximately 25 acres. The vineyard itself is set on a beautiful east-facing slope, with picturesque Happy Valley as a backdrop. The site itself is approximately 100 metres above sea level and the vines are planted at a density of 1672 vines per acre. Their vines are all planted on a gradient, a perfect angle for capturing the sun’s rays. These conditions help to increase sugar levels and allow the grapes to reach optimum ripeness.
