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

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

The climate is maritime/oceanic, running temperate.

The vineyards themselves read as estuarine and hills.

Cider wine and sparkling wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows refreshing and fruity with apple-forward flavors.

Pour them alongside pork dishes, apple desserts, mature cheeses and seafood.
