Autumn storms are raging all over the world it seems. Record amounts of rain has fallen all along the west coast so we the best place to be is inside, that's for sure. This week we have opened a lovely white from England to comfort ourselves with. When we started drinking wine nobody thought of England as a land of quality red or white wines. But a lot has changed in the last 30 years, as the climate and weather is showing us. On the “positive” side is that counties further north are making excellent wines and England is probably the best of these new winemaking places. This week's wine comes from Hattingley in Hampshire. Although England is a small country, there is a multitude of soil types and microclimates which make all the difference in a cool, marginal climate. As with most English wine makers their sparkling is the most famous, but their still wines are slowly coming along so this week we are going for at nice Chardonnay still wine. Tasting notesHattingley Valley Still White 2022 - 249,90 kr Pale lemon in colour, it is wonderfully vibrant, with aromas of lime, blossom, candied pear and tart nectarine on the nose. Citrus and green apple continue on the palate, along with notes of elderflower, which are complimented by a natural bright acidity. A fine and rich mouthfeel ends in a long and refreshing finish! Try it with fish and chicken pâtés or vegetable terrine with toasted bread
