As fragrant as an English hedgerow, this refreshing white shines a spotlight on the distinctive but little-known Ortega variety. Lightly creamy with lime cordial flavours, this is a perfect lunchtime wine or sundowner.
"Ortega has been the flagship wine for years at this family winery settled in meadowy Kent, founded in 1979."

It is thought that the Romans first introduced vines to England, however due to a combination of poor climate and the strong trading links with France and Italy (leading to a ready supply of wine), wine-making never really took off. Fast forward a few centuries and wine making is now a burgeoning industry because of improved wine making techniques and climate change.
