English Wine Tasting notesWhite Wines Oxford flint A fully dry blend of huxelrebe and chardonnay grapes, Oxford flint is a classic white wine in the style of the Loire Valley wines. It is flinty dry with crisp mineral tones and finished with a hint of grapefruit. Oxford flint is very refreshing, and is ideal as an aperitif, or as an accompaniment to fish. Its zesty dryness also allows it to serve well with spicy foods. Crispin A soft dry blend of Reichensteiner and Bacchus grapes, with the acidity balanced to give a softer edge. This wine is also an excellent accompaniment to fish. Bacchus Bacchus is a soft and fruity white wine with a slight sweetness to balance its dry structure. The wine captures the aromatic muscat flavours of the bacchus grape in a gental and easy drinking wine. An ideal party wine that can be drunk after beer, Bacchus is a perfect accompaniment to pasta and chicken dishes. Rose Wine Oxford Rose This rose wine is produced soley from red grapes grown on the chalk and flint gravel soils of the Thames Valley. The juice has only breif contract with the grape skins to give a viberant raspberry colour and a gentle tannin strenght to the wine. A refreshing drink by itself or with fish, salads or pasta. Red Wine Oxford Regatta A very clean full red wine blended principally from Dornfelder grapes. A similar style to northern Italian red wines, it has a refreshing clarity and is redolent of English summer berries, with flavours of raspberry and damson fading to a subtle strawberry finish. Only lightly oaked, it is an outstanding example of the ever improving quality now being achieved in English winemaking. Oxford Regatta is a versatile wine that drinks well on its own or accompanying any food. |
