English Wine, Cheese and Mead Tasting with Lyme Bay
To celebrate King Charle's Coronation weekend, we've invited Susie Hewitt from Lyme Bay Winery in Devon to come and talk to us about their English sparkling and still wine and honey mead. This will be a tutored, sit down tasting at our St Albans shop and we will be matching each style of wine and mead with an English cheese.
At Lyme Bay Winery they like to do things a little differently. Since 2015 they’ve been working with some of the best English wine growers to create a selection of delicious and award-winning still and sparkling wines.They are one of a very few wineries that works with growers all over the country to get the best fruit rather than relying on what is grown in their own vineyards. That way, they have access to different grape varieties that grow better on different soils and in different microclimates across the country and use them to make exceptional, full of character still and sparkling wines that suit every palate and occasion.
We will be tasting the following 6 still and sparkling wines as well as 2 meads:
Lyme Bay Brut NV
Lyme Bay Blanc de Blanc 2016
Lyme Bay Bacchus 2021
Lyme Bay Chardonnay 2021
Lyme Bay Pinot Noir Rosé Reserve 2021
Lyme Bay Pinot Noir 2021
Lyme Bay Traditional Mead
Lyme Bay Chilli Mead
Katy from Wild Alban will be providing with 8 fantastic English cheeses to match with the wine and mead. The cheese will be served on large sharing boards. Please email Penny or Geraldine directly if you have any allergies or dietary requirements.
