The new Cloudy Ridge

Bottling time at Plumpton! Today we started bottling the winning blend of Plumpton Cloudy Ridge white. We had a mini contest at uni, each winery team of 3-5 people spent a good few hours mixing various wines that we had made from our own Plumpton grapes in order to find a winning blend. We then had a blind tasting session, deciding as a group which blend was to be sold in supermarkets and restaurants across the land. My team came an average mid-table, with the winning team dumping a SHED LOAD of sugar in their recipe. And we ALL love sugar don't we...??? Evidently!

Bitterness aside, It does taste pretty good, and ridiculously aromatic. A classic English still white.
