Bolney Wine Estate

The team heads South to the Bolney Wine Estate, who are growing grapes in what they claim, in Sussex, is the sunniest part of the UK. As one of the oldest vineyards, they are pioneers of British wine, especially in red wine varieties such as pinot noir. Now celebrating their 50th year with some special long aged vintages, they are the perfect people to discuss the importance of ageing wine. The group will also be reflecting on the importance of ageing in us as human beings, what does it do to our body and character?
