Description
Rich & Rounded White
Dry, Light-Medium Body, Lightly Oaked
England & Wales, ABV 13.0%, 75cl
In a Nutshell:
Intriguing stuff - Blanc de Noirs with a barely-there pink hue, straight out of Kent and full of delicate red fruit and bright, stony freshness.
The Lowdown:
Pinot Meunier - usually the quiet one in sparkling wines - steps into the spotlight here, transformed into a bright, food-friendly white with plenty to say for itself. Being dark-skinned, it brings the merest hint of pink to this singular and fascinating wine. The nose is pure Kentish orchard in spring - pear and apple dancing with white blossom - while the palate offers a touch of sweet spice, racy freshness, and a bone-dry, creamy texture. The finish is long, bright, and seriously moreish. Unusual? Absolutely. But if you like something a little different, this one's well worth a try.
The Producer:
Simpsons Wine Estate is run by husband-and-wife team Charles and Ruth Simpson, who bring winemaking savoir-faire honed at their South of France estate to the Elham Valley. Nestled in the North Downs of Kent, the vineyards sit on lime-rich chalk soils - part of the same seam that runs through Champagne and Burgundy - and benefit from cooling maritime breezes just eight miles from the coast. The result is wines with clarity, freshness and poise. Combining international experience with a strong sense of place, Simpsons has emerged as a thoughtful and distinctive presence in English wine.
When to Drink:
A foodie's delight, especially with seafood. Try it with seared scallops, grilled lemon sole, or classic moules marinières - the bright freshness cuts through like a dream, while the creamy texture wraps around seafood like a well-tailored jacket.
