The start of the asparagus season in mid-April is always an exciting time for foodies, especially when those spears are grown locally and can be paired with a very special Dorset wine. Last year, Furleigh Estate, the award-winning vineyard at Salwayash in West Dorset, and their neighbours Chip and Anita de Greeff of Bothen Hill (winner of the 2019 BOOM Best of Organic Market Awards) combined two English seasonal classics: Furleigh Estate’s Bacchus white wine and Bothen Hill’s organic asparagus.
