It is great to be able to give a positive review to a wine that has been grown and made right here in Suffolk.
This is a lovely, smooth and fruity red. Lighter and with lower alcohol, it would be great on a warm day, and would even work well lightly chilled. It would be a good match for Sunday lunch or Italian dishes.
Giffords Hall is a wonderful place to visit, and I would encourage East Anglian readers in particular to head down there as soon as you can, for a visit (but ring them first!).
