Davenport, Horsmonden Dry White, 2023

Will Davenport has been quietly leading the way in English organic wine for over two decades — long before it was fashionable or commercially safe to do so. Farming organically in England is no small feat: with our unpredictable climate, it requires real dedication, careful vineyard work, and a lot of belief in doing things the right way.

The Horsmonden Dry White is a brilliant expression of that philosophy. A blend of cool-climate varieties (including Bacchus, Siegerrebe, Faber and Ortega), it offers lifted aromas of wild hedgerow scent, citrus, and a little peach. Crisp acidity and a gentle fruit roundness make this incredibly drinkable and perfectly suited to sunny evenings, picnics, or a plate of grilled fish.
