Say thank you with our special Mother’s Day Duo

March is when we say thank you to our mothers for the amazing jobs they do. This year Mothering Sunday falls on March 30^th, and if you want your mum to have a special treat why not give her our Mother’s Day Duo? The duo comprises two bottles of Poulton Hill Estate’s white wines: one award-wining Bacchus 2023 and one Awkward Hill 2023. You would normally pay £37 for this duo, but we are offering it for only £29.99 throughout March.

Our Bacchus 2023 is pale gold in appearance, with notes of elderflower and stone fruit on the nose. Peach, pear and guava are at the forefront of the palate, with hints of minerality, giving it a long, clean and crisp finish. This aromatic, well-balanced wine can be enjoyed on its own, with seafood pasta, white meat and Thai cuisine.

Poulton Hill Estate’s Awkward Hill white wine is pale straw in appearance with a delicious nose of apple blossom and subtle herbaceous undertones. The palate is dry, crisp and wonderfully balanced, bursting with peach, pear and creamy apple, which leads to a long, clean and satisfying finish. This wine is perfect to drink on its own or with pasta dishes, Thai cuisine, seafood and cheese.

You can buy the Mother’s Day Duo on our website at https://www.poultonhillestate.co.uk/wines-and-spirits/, by phone on 01285 850257 or from the Cellar Door in Poulton. Additional charges will incur if the duo is couriered.

 

World Vermouth Day

March 21^st is World Vermouth Day. This fortified wine has its origins in the Ancient World as both the Ancient Greeks and the Romans made fortified wines with herbs and spices. The modern version of vermouth originated in Italy at the end of the 18^th century and has more recently become the fashionable craft spirit of the moment, with some drinks experts predicting it could overtake gin.

Poulton Hill Estate has produced a very limited-edition English Vermouth made with a blend of our Phoenix, Bacchus and Seyval Blanc grapes. The eye-catching label art shows a Phoenix in flight, a nod not only to the grape but also to our local town of Cirencester, which has the Phoenix as its heraldic symbol. It is complex, well-rounded and semi-sweet, and robust enough to enjoy over ice or as an addition to cocktails.

It has notes of orange and vanilla at the forefront with a hint of fig leaf, gentle warmth of caramel from tonka beans and a refreshing finish from juniper. We only produced 400 bottles of this vermouth so don’t miss out! You can pick up a bottle from the Cellar Door in Poulton at the special price of £25 or you can purchase it online from our website here: https://www.poultonhillestate.co.uk/wines-and-spirits/english-vermouth/.
