James’ View
The newest white wine in our collection, James’ View is another dry white wine that has won multiple awards over the years. While there are slight differences in all our wine blends each year, the key component of James’ View are the Solaris grapes.
The name for this bottle comes from Henry Wilson’s third son, James Wilson, who passed when he was young. The views from the field in which a bench was constructed in his memory never fail to leave you stunned. James’ View is a quiet reminder to all to treasure the time we have with those we love.
Tasting notes
Similar to Chalk Hill White, James’ View also has notes of grapefruit when you taste it. However there are also notes of tropical fruits, which gives this wine a refreshing bite. Our second dry white, this award-winning wine is the perfect summer time tipple.
Winemaking & Ageing
The grapes are picked and pressed within 48 hours to ensure quality and minimise loss as it sits. We aim to press all our varieties separately to give us maximum choice later down the line. The must undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, before being left for six months. The wine then undergoes blending trials, completed by Alice, Tom, Henry and a handful of the LWV team. Originally, James’ View was a varietal blend, made of only our Solaris grapes. Since its creation this has changed slightly as we navigate the unique challenge of being a small producer, whos harvests vary with each season. It is bottled here in South Cave, and left to rest for a couple of months before it makes its way onto your table.
Pairing
Another dry white, James’ View would suit a white fish, like sea bass in a lemon and caper dressing. The acidity in the lemon should make for a perfect match with James’ View’s own citrus notes, while the mild flavour of the fish will balance the crisp finish of the wine. Alternatively, the freshness of zucchini noodles would complement James’ View for a plant-based plate. Equally a bright goats cheese salad has the perfect blend from the crisp salad and creamy richness of the cheese that will both pair and balance James’ View in equal measure.
Like all Little Wold Vineyard wines that I have tasted, James’ View is a very good, honest wine. It comes across as a well-crafted wine from high quality ingredients.
