We continue to receive a huge amount of positive press coverage, here is a selection of some of the best.
| GENERAL |
| "The range is
consistently good, with wonderful flavours - light, fresh and sometimes
even exotically aromatic."
Carolyn Bosworth-Davies : Meridian Magazine October 2004
“At Chapel Down, if you ever visit, you will find an enthusiastic
team of people that are committed to producing wines that can compete
with the best from the New and Old Worlds”
David Penny: Handford Holland Park
“English Wines Group is a forward thinking company offering English
wines in a variety of styles that just keep getting better and better.”

| "Yes! Wonderfully
confident fizz; full of the classic characters of biscuit and toast that
you'd find in a bottle of champagne, with an intense finish too."
Sarah Jane Evans: BBC Good Food Magazine April 2004
"Chapel Down is a floral, light, dry and citrussy and should stop
Cava sales in the UK dead in their tracks"
Matthew Jukes: Safeway Magazine February 2004
"An attractive, gently nutty bubbly. The most attractive English
sparkling wine I've tasted. Real character."
Malcolm Gluck: Superplonk 2004

| CHAPEL DOWN PINOT RESERVE |
BUY NOW |
| "English sparking wine comes
of age with this IWC gold medal. This Chapel Down is pronounced and rich,
with leesy, yeasty, complexity, and waxy, honeyed texture under a big,
full tropical-fruit style. It has a good intensity, balanced acidity and
a serious finish."
The International Wine Challenge : Wine Magazine Nov 04
"England struck gold in the shape of Kent's Chapel Down Pinot Reserve
1999. If claims about climate change making England's south east the new
Champagne are correct, could this be the start of something big?"
The International Wine Challenge 2004 : Wine Magazine Nov 2004

CHAPEL DOWN ENGLISH ROSE |
| "Nice pinkish sort of colour.
Gental herbal nose. Very juicy, high acid palate with soft sweet strawberry
fruit."
Wine Anorak.com: January 2003
“Scented aromas of strawberry and summer flowers. Juicy and fruity,
with a dry finish, perfect with a picnic.”
Richard Bampfield MW

| Chapel Down Bacchus 2004. One of
the best of the current crop of English dry whites, this is made from
the Bacchus Grape with distinctive floral aromas, a lively spritz on the
tongue and delightfully crisp, grapefruity flavours in the mould of an
English Sancerre.”
Anthony Rose – Independent 4th June 2005
"The soft nose of white flowers and fruit, with honeyed notes. The
palate has crisp green apple fruit acidity and a long finish."
International Wine Challenge 2004 : Wine Magazine November 2004
"A delightful English quality white wine from Tenterden Vineyard
in Kent…wonderful fruit aroma on the nose, whilst on the palate
clean, crisp and refreshing…extremely quaffable chilled either on
its own, with salads or light fish dishes…it will not disappoint!"
Michael Whiteside: BBC Radio Kent.
"With its freshly cut grass and blackcurrant leaf flavours and aromas,
this is a fresh and lively wine that works well with fish and salads.
If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you will love this. A good wine with fish
or salad."
Chris Losh: Telegraph Weekend 17th May 2003

| CURIOUS GRAPE EMPIRE ZEST |
BUY
NOW |
| "English wine
is improving with each vintage and every so often a good one comes along.
Made from a blend of hand-harvested huxelrebe, rivaner and seyval blanc,
this tasty, grapey, hedgerow-scented, spice and fruit-laden white is a
case in point."
Jane Macquitty: The Times Magazine 19th June 2004
"This is a pleasant surprise -aromas of pure Cox's orange pippin
with a lip-smacking nettly taste to match. I can see this going wonderfully
with a pea and mint soup… No soup? Then drink it on its own with
a picnic in the sunshine."
Joe Wadsack: Sunday Express Magazine 30th May 2004
"Another Curious Grape triumph. White, dry, fruity and aromatic."
Joanna Simon: The Sunday Times Style Magazine, Sunday 25th May
2003

| CHAPEL DOWN FLINT DRY |
BUY
NOW |
| "Grassy notes
decorate the charming nose. The palate has plenty of juicy greengage fruit
flavour."
The International Wine Challenge 2004 : Wine Magazine Nov 04
"Crisp and dry, this wine has grassy and mineral notes and goes
very well with white meats"
Carla Passino: The Field March 2004
"Leafy, floral, dry white - one of a very good range of well distributed
English wines".
Joanna Simon: Sunday Times Magazine July 2003
"Made in the style of Muscadet. Superb steely citrus nose. Bone
dry and steely on the mouth with delicious concentration of lemon fruit.
Clean, fresh tasting and pin-point accurate with a big long, crisp, lemony
finish and a delicious long-lasting aftertaste.
Geoff Adams: The Journal, June 2003

| CHAPEL DOWN PINOT NOIR |
BUY
NOW |
| "There are some
great offers from the Chapel Down website and I'd add a bottle or two
of this treat into a mix. Light and very much fruit driven, the palate
is almost toasty in the style of very classy Pinot Noir. Super stuff and
worth the cash."
Joe Fattorini: The Herald 26th May 2004
"This one's stylish tobacco and crushed red berry nose is simply
superb. Delicious cherry stone flavoured fruit and fine acidity find excellent
harmony, while the mid-palate is lean but by no means hollow. Fresh tasting
medium weight fruit and a long penetrating finish were my lasting impressions.
Pinot Noir with a difference."
Geoff Adams: The Journal, June 2003

| CHAPEL DOWN NECTAR |
BUY NOW |
| “A gorgeous,
tropical wine, this is very well priced considering the level of complexity
and elegance on offer. It’s the perfect sweet wine for lighter fruit
tarts and interestingly, for serving with luxurious pâtés
and terrines. This wine is only in very limited production so must be
bought direct from the vineyard.”
Matthew Jukes: Woman and Home October 2003
