Coates & Seely 2017 Harvest

‘Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness’ was Keats’ description of England at harvest time. Substitute ‘mist’ for Hurricane Ophelia, which was actually passing when this photograph was taken on 16th October as we brought in the last of this year’s chardonnay, and you have an apt description of our own 2017 harvest.

Due to a slow maturation, we left the fruit on the vines for longer than we have ever dared and were rewarded with sensational flavours and complexity. The 2017 vintage will be small but beautiful and you can follow it on our Instagram page in a series of stunning photographs taken by Lara Arnott.

Celebration of HM Queen’s 90th Birthday

Coates & Seely were honoured to be asked to supply their sparkling wines at a dinner at Kensington Palace to celebrate HM The Queen’s 90th Birthday.  The Party’s hosts were Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that looks after six of the UK’s most iconic royal palaces with such skill and imagination.

The party began with Coates & Seely’s White and Rosé sparkling wines served on the Palace terrace overlooking Kensington Gardens, before moving on to a sumptuous dinner in the Orangery.  Afterwards, in a mood of increasing enchantment, guests were treated to a wonderful firework display that lit the Palace and its gardens to the strains of Handel, whilst the Coates & Seely wines continued to flow.
