If you ask most people what they remember about geography from school…Terminal moraine will be ironically stuck in most minds rather than deposited when they leave. My memories after 13 years of Geography are that the teachers normally taught P.E aswell and conducting population surveys in Milton Keynes. I can confirm that people do live there and there was a pub in Bletchley that served floppy haired 17 year olds with clipboards.
Wine is essentially Geography. If you could make great wine everywhere, the world might be a happier place. The French are blessed with an abundance of great vineyards , but much of the globe have to search out small pockets of land.
The Rhys Horseshoe Vineyard in Santa Cruz mountains is arguably one of the greatest three acres of land in the world to grow Chardonnay. With a perfect climate, Burgundy cuttings imported, an 11 million year old pile rocks to grow them on and a team so selective that it takes 8 vines to make one bottle. ( not far off Chateau Yquem with one vine to one glass). This is one of the worlds great white wines.
Recently tasted alongside the best vineyards of Puligny Montrachet from the fabled Domaine Leflaive, the Rhys was not only easily comparable in quality but was the clear favourite in the room.
Only a tiny amount is exported and this wine is not available anywhere else in the UK. Lupton Wines is delighted to announced this latest release for this wine
I have 10 bottles, but as I am drinking one on referendum night, I only have 9 Bottles available at £85 per bottle under Bond.
Drinking – 2016 – 2030
