Cornwall

Wine from Cornwall comes out of England, where it sits as a wine region.

Bacchus leads the plantings, with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Seyval Blanc and Ortega alongside it.

The climate is maritime/oceanic, running notable rainfall.

The vineyards themselves read as valley floor.

Sparkling wine, white wine and rosé wine, plus one more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows fresh with fine bubbles, reflecting the maritime influence, aromatic with a crisp and clean finish, plus one more.

Producers worth knowing include Camel Valley Vineyard, Knightor Winery, Polgoon Vineyard and Trevibban Mill Vineyard & Orchard.

Pour them alongside seafood, light salads, chicken dishes and vegetarian cuisine.

Serve chilled.
