Here's a few of our favourite pairings
Pinot Noir - The light elegance of our Pinot Noir pairs perfectly with less richly flavoured foods like creamy brie. We recommend combining this with a savoury crispbread and a fruity but tangy chutney for the perfect pairing.
Cuvée Rosé - The balanced, fresh acidity of our Cuvée Rosé cuts through fatty foods beautifully. The fruit and brioche notes make this wine the perfect pairing for rich cheddar. Combine with a savoury crispbread with subtle flavours and a fruity chutney.
Lychgate Rosé - Blue cheeses, such as our Molecomb Blue or our Brighton Blue, pair perfectly with our delicate and fresh Lychgate Rosé. Notes of red fruit lead to a refreshing palate with undertones of vanilla, which is a great match with the salty tangy flavours in blue cheese.
