Lyme Bay are producing some excellent wines from vineyards across the south of England. They are part of the growing English Wine industry and are showing real promise.
Shoreline is a blend of beautiful cool climate varieties Reichensteiner, Bacchus, Chardonnay, Seyval Blanc, Ortega, Pinot Noir, and Solaris. The vineyards supplying greapes are: Yew Tree Vineyard (Oxfordshire); Watchcombe (Devon); Haygrove Evolution (Herefordshire); Sandhurst (Kent); Crouch Valley (Essex); Great Whitman’s (Essex); Old Mill House (Essex). Each of the parcels fermented separately with different yeast strains & temperatures to make several complex layers of flavours & aromas. Upon completion, the different vats were assessed for potential and characteristics, then blended together in the optimum proportions. The resulting Shoreline blend was aged for several months on fine lees to improve preserve freshness.
A fresh, complex, quintessentially English, dry white wine. An excellent match for seafood dishes.
The Shoreline has a complex floral nose with added hints of pineapple & lime. Well-balanced on the palate with crisp acidity & complex layers. Bright flavours of lemon and lime with a background of nettle, herbaceous notes.
