Buyer's Choice - Flint English Wine Gift

Get to know: Buyer's Choice - Flint English Wine Gift

A taste of England's most exciting wine revolution

Description

If you still think English wine begins and ends with fizz, allow us to introduce you to Flint Vineyards - and prepare to have your expectations thoroughly, joyfully upended.

Tucked away in the rolling countryside of Norfolk, Flint is the passion project of winemaker Ben Witchell, a scientist-turned-vintner whose meticulous, process-driven approach has earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative voices in English winemaking. While much of the industry pours its energy into traditional method sparkling wines, Ben has turned his attention to still wines - and the results are nothing short of revelatory.

This gift set showcases the pure, crystalline expressions that have made Flint a name to watch. These are wines that speak clearly of their cool-climate origins: think bright acidity, aromatic precision, and a minerality that seems to carry the chalky Norfolk soil right into your glass. Expect notes of crisp green apple, white blossom, and citrus zest, underpinned by a subtle, almost saline freshness that keeps you reaching for another sip. There's a wonderful tension here - fruit and freshness in perfect balance, with a clean, lingering finish that feels alive and incredibly moreish.

When it comes to food, these wines are wonderfully versatile. Try them alongside fresh Cromer crab with a squeeze of lemon, a plate of creamy goat's cheese with honeycomb, or even a simple roast chicken with tarragon butter. They're equally lovely with lighter fish dishes - think pan-fried sea bass or a classic moules marinière - where their bright acidity cuts through richness beautifully.

Kate Says

This luxury gift combines two modern English wines from Norfolk, that have classical appeal. An light, juicy Précoce and an elegant, pure Bacchus. Perfect for a special meal, these wines shine with food. A savvy, sophisticated and elegant choice.

What's Inside?

Flint Vineyard, Fume, England, 11% ABV

We've all absolutely fallen for this wine since we tried it together. This latest vintage builds on the quality of the stunning 2022. It carries it all through with a graceful subtlety and sublimely elegant texture. If you like Pouilly Fumé or Chablis, give this a try.

Flint Vineyard, Pinot Noir Precoce, England, 12% ABV

We love Flint wines and this juicy red is a joy to drink. This will appeal to anyone who enjoys fresh, fruit-driven Pinot Noir or Gamay and delivers an elegant structure and a little extra depth of flavour. I'd enjoy this with roast chicken or a meaty fish
