点评:This relatively new addition to the fast growing list of Kent vineyards has one major USP which is the fabulous view across the Weald from the well designed and built hospitality buildings on the hillside. Nothing like this at Gusbourne of Chapel Down.
We had opted for the Tasting (£35.00pp) with light food to follow. The tasting was interesting but we all thought the sample portions were too small. The "Best Turned Out" rose (£21.00 for a bottle of 2022) produced from Pinot Meunier grapes was our favourite of 3 white and 1 rose tasted.
We moved from the tasting room outside to tables chairs/benches for lunch which was either a Charcuterie board or Cheese board. Both well stocked and nicely presented - just enough to enjoy as a light summer lunch.
This is a significant investment by the owners, Mr and Mrs Rich Ricci, who also indulge themselves with a large string of racehorses in England and Ireland which are premium class jumpers at Cheltenham and other courses.
We wish them every success at Yotes Court
翻译:这个相对较新的酒庄是肯特郡快速增长的葡萄园名单中的一员,它有一个主要的卖点,那就是从山坡上精心设计和建造的酒店建筑可以看到威尔德的绝妙景色。在 Chapel Down 的 Gusbourne 酒庄,没有比这更好的了。
我们选择了品酒会(每人 35.00 英镑),之后是清淡的食物。品酒会很有趣,但我们都认为样品份量太小了。用黑皮诺葡萄酿造的“最佳成品”玫瑰酒(2022 年一瓶 21.00 英镑)是我们最喜欢的 3 种白葡萄酒和 1 种玫瑰酒。
我们从外面的品酒室搬到桌椅/长凳上吃午餐,午餐是熟食拼盘或奶酪拼盘。两者都储备充足,摆盘精美——足以作为一顿清淡的夏日午餐享用。
这是马主 Rich Ricci 夫妇的一项重大投资,他们还在英国和爱尔兰拥有大量赛马,这些赛马在切尔滕纳姆和其他赛马场都是顶级跳马。
我们祝愿他们在 Yotes Court 取得圆满成功。
