Founded in 1979, Biddenden Vineyards is one of Kent's oldest wineries. The Schonburger grape variety is of German origin - a cross released in 1979 - now thriving in England. Light blush in colour, this late harvest wine is fragrant on the nose, luscious on the palate, and with rich honey and tropical flavours. A superb dessert wine!
"Grown in a sheltered valley of Kent, and late harvested, this 100% Schonburger displays luscious notes of honey, lychee and elderflower."
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.
