Yorkshire

Yorkshire is a wine region in England.

Growers build the wines around Rondo, filling out the blend with Solaris, Madeleine Angevine, Seyval Blanc and Ortega.

Vines root into chalk.

The climate is maritime/oceanic, running frost risk.

The vineyards themselves read as hills, slopes and south-facing.

White wine, sparkling wine and red wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows lighter and fresher, ideal for the cooler climate, produced using classic champagne grapes and derived from hardy early-ripening varieties.

Pour them alongside light fish dishes, fresh salads, cheeses and charcuterie.

Serve chilled.
