Thank you Diogo!

 

 

Winter pruning is now over. This year has been particularly arduous due to the almost constant rain. We would like to say a huge thank you to Diogo, who went out in the vineyard every day until he had pruned every single one of the 9,750 vines by hand, no matter the weather (even through Storm Ingrid). His dedication is truly appreciated by the entire Poulton Hill Estate team. When you sit down in a couple of years’ time to enjoy a glass of Poulton Hill 2026 wine, you will have Diogo to thank for his care and attention in preparing the vines for a successful growing season. We are now looking forward to seeing the first signs of new life in the vineyard, as the buds start to show on our beautifully pruned vines.

 

Phoenix 2024 vintage released

Poulton Hill Estate has just released its 2024 vintage of Phoenix white wine. This ever-popular wine made from 100% Phoenix grapes, a variety that was created in Germany in 1964 when Bacchus was crossed with Villard Blanc. The grape variety is perfect for the UK climate, as it is a cool-climate hybrid developed to withstand and ripen in cooler, damp conditions. It is also highly resistant to mildew, which can be an issue for UK wine growers

Poulton Hill Estate’s Phoenix 2024 has a pale straw appearance with a delicious nose of guava and peach. The palate is off dry, refreshing and wonderfully balanced, bursting with sweet melon, pear and creamy apple, which leads to a long, clean and satisfying finish. This wine is prefect to drink on its own or with pasta dishes, Thai cuisine, seafood and cheese. 11% abv

The wine costs £18.50 a bottle and is available from our website or from the Cellar Door in Poulton.
