More about the Flint wines we stock:
Fumé 2023, White Wine
The Fumé 2023 is a refined expression of Bacchus, inspired by the award-winning Bacchus Fumé 2022, crafted from hand-harvested grapes and aged in 3rd-fill oak barrels to enhance the texture and aroma.
The palate of this wine is soft and textured but also crisp and fresh. The nose offers ripe, juicy pear and crisp English apple, complemented by delicate notes of violets and Turkish delight. A lingering finish of pink grapefruit, almonds and biscuit pastry adds depth and complexity to this beautifully balanced wine.
Précoce 2023, Red Wine
Hand harvested from a vineyard in Essex, the Précoce 2023 is an early ripening Pinot Noir clone, offering enticing aromas of black forest gâteau, ripe cherries and a touch of delicate spice.
This wine offers a silky smooth and fruity taste on the palate, with well-integrated tannins delivering a refined, textured finish. The wine has not undergone cold stabilisation, so it may develop a harmless crystalline deposit, reflecting its minimal intervention winemaking approach.
Charmat Rosé, Sparkling Rosé
The Charmat Rosé is the first wine of its kind made in the UK using the Charmat method, where secondary fermentation takes place in a tank rather than a bottle. Vibrant and unmistakeably English, it delights with mouth-watering, zesty acidity reminiscent of pink grapefruit, balanced by a touch of creaminess.
Bursting with the flavours of summer, the palate is alive with fresh strawberries, tart redcurrants, and ripe cherries.
