Mid Kent was mostly Canterbury Grape with some Goldings, Jones and Colgate - more Goldings towards Maidstone, more of the lesser ones as you went west. East Kent was a mix of roughly equal amounts of Goldings, Grape and Jones at this time, which would have had less alpha than pure Goldings. qqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-16618131656505838172020-07-12T07:56:19.168-07:002020-07-12T07:56:19.168-07:00Another barrel question,
