Easter Ale

GV
9.0

This is a punchy 6.8% but very moreish ale. Brewed for Easter, as the marketing says harking back to the strong ales brewed by the monks for feast days, this is a strong, dark amber, full bodied ale. It is malty with a good sweetness that balances the sweet malty sugars with the aroma of hops (Fuggle, Pilgrim, Cascade and Golding), and for me, a deep caramel aroma too.

It is is brewed with the local Sussex spring water Harvey's has used for over two centuries.

Rich & Dark Old Ale

This is a nice old ale that offers a pleasant taste set around dates, dried fruits, and caramel with a subtle sweetness and gentle hop flavour. Light carbonation.

Great with rainy, dark autumnal days.

Brut Sussex Blanc de Noirs 2015

95% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier.
Lot no. L4515.

A super floral expression, almost like a dry Gewürztraminer from Alsace meeting Viognier from Condrieu.

The Trouble with Dreams Chardonnay Blend 2017

Pretty consistent with the 2018 if not a bit more broad. Oak comes through as toasty lemon oil and lemon curd. Certainly not delicate. — 8 months ago

Rathfinny

Traditional Method Brut Blanc de Noir 2015

Copper in colour, the 2015 Blanc de Noirs from Rathfinny in Sussex is a magical expression of the style and another exceptional English sparkling wine.

The nose features rich aromas of bruised apple, strawberry, brioche and orange peel. The palate is broad, mouth-filling and adds peach and nectarine (Molly’s notes) to the call sheet.

A wine I’d love to pitch against a French equivalent.

Porter

GV
9.5

Super porter from one of the long standing Sussex brewer.

A 1859 recipe that provides a smooth drink with lots of roasted malt and a balance of hops giving a little fruit, and sugar for a full-bodied beer.

Foxhole Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат вишни и брусники с нотой копченостей. Умеренная тельность, довольно высокая кислотность, шелковистые танины. Приятный, аккуратный пино нуар. — 7 years ago

@Joshua Fisher Reminds me German Spätburgunder. Cherries, raspberries, some smokiness. High acidity and silky tannins. Quite enjoyable.
