Blue Aurora Blueberry Ice Wine, England

Candied violets and blueberry compote aromas lead into a velvety smooth, kirsch-like ice wine.

Blue Aurora Blueberry Ice Wine is a sweet ice wine from Northamptonshire, England. It is made using 100% English blueberries with 10.5% abv, 37.5cl. Suitable for Vegans. Gluten Free.

The blueberries for this wine come from Stephen and James Long's Lutton Farm on the border of Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. The berries are sustainably farmed under polytunnels and the brothers are known as some of the UK's very first blueberry growers after planting them in 1991. The inspiration for blueberry wines came from the US and was a response to the waste coming from supermarket grading systems. The bros partnered with winemaker Simon Day and began their venture. Two kilos of frozen English blueberries make just one half bottle of delicious blueberry ice wine, gently pressed as the berries thaw over three days. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel for four weeks, racked, filtered and bottled with around 97g/litre residual sugar. The result is an intensely jammy, fragrant ice wine with velvety smooth tannins.

You'll love this if you like... Port, tangy sweet ciders, or ice wine.

Pairs beautifully with: Summer berry tart, rich chocolatey desserts, bread and butter pudding or cheese toasties.

Cheese pairing: Blue cheese or fruit cheese.
