Simpsons of Servian Fusion Blanc 2015
About the wine
Surprisingly exotic easy-drinking sipper from the Simpsons
- We have such diverse white varieties at Sainte Rose that we wanted to try an ‘assemblage’ to highlight the best of each grape variety. Blends like this often end up being more exotic and interesting than single varietal wines, with far more character and quaffability!
- Angels have been asking us for a top notch, easy-drinking, southern French sipper. The support of Angel funding has given us the confidence and flexibility to produce the best and most interesting white wine possible.
- Using the field blend concept we picked Muscat, Roussanne, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Marsanne over a 24 hr period, resulting in a unique blend with a huge spectrum of flavours including grapefruit, guava, peach, and other exotic fruits.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Charles & Ruth Simpson
- 18 years ago, Charles & Ruth took a leap into the unknown. They quit their dull, corporate jobs. Hopped on the first plane to France. And bought up their own little patch of grape-growing land in Southern France.
- It turned out to be an inspired move. Since then their delicious, Angel-exclusive wines haven’t stopped scooping IWC and Decanter World Wine Awards and rave reviews from wine-critic royalty.
- Their dream was always to return to their roots, making English wine in Blighty. Your backing also gave them the confidence to do just that! In 2014 they returned to their roots and planting their first English vineyard near Canterbury.
