Wine Tasting with National Westminster Bank Wine Society - 3rd September 2024
This month we welcome Anne Jennings from Biddenden. Kent’s original winemaker has been owned and managed by the Barnes family since 1969. Previously an apple orchard, today the vineyard is run by the second and third generations of the family, drawing on many years of experience in winemaking at Biddenden. We will be tasting the range of Biddenden’s multi-award-winning wines as well as their Ice Cider. (I know we’re a wine society but I make no apologies for including Biddenden’s Ice Cider…it’s won loads of awards including Bronze in the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2022 and I think it'll finish off our tasting perfectly!)
