Lychgate Red
Bolney Bacchus Salami
£8.00
The fruit was fermented at 24c with pump-overs thrice daily. Yeast strains were selected to accentuate black fruit and spice characters. Full MLF in tank and micro-oxygenation were used to increase suppleness.
Perfectly complements steak frites as well as meaty pasta dishes, game, casseroles, and turkey. It also pairs well with goat’s cheese and blue cheese. For the sweeter tooth, try it with mince pies and mint dark chocolate.
The dark blackberry fruit character is a perfect foil to the creamy, savoury/sour notes in goat’s cheese. This brings a balance to both the wine and cheese, for our Head Winemaker this combination is a complete match.

We bought this wine and your Pinot. We enjoyed the Lychgate. It was well balanced, and as you recommended, it benefitted from breathing. We’ve yet to try the more expensive wine.
