Chilford Hall visit

Our visit to Chilford Hall Vineyard was very eventful! There are 2 different directions to get to Chilford Hall either via A11 or through Linton.

4 Cars went via Linton are were able to do the whole tour-vineyard-winery-tasting. They had a great time and enjoying seeing the different processes.

2 cars chose top go via A11, this was a mistake as traffic was in total deadlock as Police Battled to talk someone down from trying to jump of a bridge. So 1 car arrived just in time for the tasting and 1 car went home.

We tasted 5 wines and dined on bread and wonderful cheese.

Muller Thurgau/Schonburger 2014

A young, clean, pale straw coloured light wine opens a bouquet of fresh grapefruit rind. It is bursting with grapefruit and lime flavours leaving a lingering hint of sweet pear on the palate.

Muller Thurgau/ Reichensteiner 2015

A carefully crafted blend of 2 grape varieties has produced a pale straw coloured wine that is packed full of lemon, lime and elderflower aromas. The palate comes alive with grapefruit and melon leaving a long, lingering finish of ripe pear.

Roman Road 2016

This wine is crafted of Muller-Thurgau & Prtega grapes which give the wine a fragrant nectarine aroma. On the palate, the wine opens with peach and soft ripe pear before finishing with hints of lemon and lime zest.

Blush 2016

Hand selected blend of Dornfelder, Schonburger and Muller- Thurgau grapes express the best of the harvest producing a salmon pink wine bursting with aromas of strawberry and cream. This classic summer wine is bursting with flavours of raspberries and lemon zest.

Chancellor 2016

This wine is produced exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. The vines occupy the warmest and most sheltered part of the vineyard. Made to reflect the softer side of sparkling Brut wine, it is pale straw in colour, effervescent in nature and singing green apple, pear and lemon zest flowers.

A visit to be savoured,

DID YOU KNOW- SHELTER BOX

Shelter Box was founded in 2000 in the town of Helston, Cornwall, UK. That same year the Rotary club of Helston-Lizard adopted it as its millennium project. The first consignment of 143 boxes was sent to earthquake victims of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.

Each box is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for a family, with thermal blankets and groundsheets, water storage and purification equipment, solar lamps, cooking utensils, a basic tool kit, mosquito nets and a children’s activity pack.

A Shelter Box costs £590 at present. The cost does change as boxes content can change depending on the type of disaster. Our club has bought boxes on regular occasions, where we feel there is a greater need. Last year we displayed a box at Shelford feast, which is shown in the above photo. We have also had them displayed at Sawston Fun Run.
