Wines English Three Choirs - First Release - 2025

Three Choirs Cuvée First Release 2025 is an English white wine that beautifully captures the fresh and vibrant profile increasingly characteristic of contemporary English winemaking. Although the precise grape blend for this cuvée is not specified, Three Choirs’ white bottlings often lean towards styles that are lively, aromatic and marked by crisp acidity, typically using a subtle blend of modern grape varieties popular in English vineyards. The 2025 vintage promises youthfulness, freshness, and a delicate aromatic lift, reflecting the careful vinification and a commitment to expressing the unique personality of local fruit.

The vineyards of Three Choirs are situated in the heart of the English countryside, where a cool climate and long growing season encourage a slow, gentle ripening process. The soils here, a mix of clay and sand with some limestone veins, help retain moisture and add a mineral finesse to the wines. Over recent decades, England’s wine industry has emerged as an exciting region, with its winemakers mastering the art of crafting elegant, high-acid whites that shine with subtle fruit and floral notes. The area’s history blends traditional agricultural roots with a modern enthusiasm for innovation and sustainability.

This English white would pair delightfully with light seafood dishes, such as seared scallops or fresh crab, as well as with delicately flavoured river fish like trout in a simple herb butter sauce. For a distinctly local touch, serve with a Somerset goat’s cheese or a lightly dressed asparagus salad when in season. Soft, creamy cheeses and classic English charcuterie would also suit the wine’s crisp and pleasing palate.

To fully appreciate its freshness and nuanced aromatic character, serve this wine well-chilled, ideally at 8-10°C. Enjoy its youthful brightness over the next couple of years for maximum vibrancy.
