Description
Sharpham Dart Valley Reserve is a blend of Madeleine Angevine with a little Bacchus, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, all grapes that thrive in our cool English climate.
This is an approachable wine with a delicately fruity nose and a round juicy profile on the palette. From ripe pear to yellow plums and peaches, this wine is oh-so-easy to drink. If you like the subtle fruity profile of a Gavi or Picpoul this is a wine you must try.
Sharpham released their first Madeleine Angevine in the 1980’s and it’s been their best seller ever since.
Pair with chicken or seafood salads, light tapas dishes or why not try a paella.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this one as hadn’t tried a Madeleine Angevine before. It was very nice, especially with some nibbles!

Absolutely Delicious! I’ve been a fan of the Sharpham new release for a while then decided to give this a go. It didn’t disappoint.
So easy to drink, light enough to enjoy as an aperitif but more than enough body hold it’s own with food.
