GREAT TASTING EXTRAS
Bolney Bacchus Salami
£8.00
A free range pork salami with our very own Lychgate Bacchus, in collaboration...
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.

What a pleasant surprise this was. Good fruit flavour with hints of blackberry and damson. A very well rounded flavour in the mouth with just a hint of pepperiness. Already ordered some more after getting from a local retailer.
My husband prefers white wine. A glass of this with a good steak and he was a happy man. I was also a very happy woman because I really enjoy good red wine. This is good.
No feed back available as it was a gift -sorry .
Beautiful wine!!
Lychgate Red 2018
Not my 1st purchase of Lychgate Red and will not be the last! Ordering is very easy and delivered on time.
We all really enjoyed this wine. I wanted to start trying British wines and this was a delight. Definitely be on our table for Sunday dinners from now on. It was fresh, citrus subtle and moorish. Excellent. Thank you. Cheers to more English wines. L
Nice full bodied red wine.
Fabulous home grown wine
Have to say that this shows that SE England can do more than fizz. The 2017 Lychgate red is a gorgeous clean, deep wine, at a price which must only leave pence for the makers. Well done
Lovely smooth red, good value for money and tastes all the better for being a local English wine!
Bought my first bottle of red English wine yesterday and I am mightily impressed!! Great job guys.
I thoroughly enjoyed this red wine . It promises and it delivers , just what is required in these uncertain times!

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.
