Wine of the Month: A wine produced in Cambridge from grapes grown in Essex

Gutter & Stars, Strange News from Another Star, Bacchus 2021 (Cambridge)

This is an outstanding Bacchus wine from Gutter & Stars urban winery in Cambridge. Produced from grapes grown in the Crouch Valley in Essex, the wine was awarded ‘Bacchus of the Year’ last year. And deservedly so.

A refreshing, crisp wine with aromas of jasmine, apple and citrus fruits on the nose, and green apple with subtle hints of peach and minerality on the palate. This is a well-balanced wine which can be enjoyed by itself, with seafood, white meat, a vegetable dish or light risotto. 

Available from Gutter & Stars and Grape Britannia (£22-£24)
