Refreshing white fruits, with a hint of spice and light oak on the nose. Zippy acidity, white and stone fruits such as peach, and some minerality adding some texture.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Points & Awards
Viticulture
Our first vintage using fruit from a
certified organic vineyard. With such
perfect raw materials, our only job was
not to undo all nature's good work. Fruit,
hand-picked in the cool of the morning
on 7th March.
Winemaking
Fruit was transferred straight to press
before a very slight settling of juice which
retained a high solids content. A
combination 1 & 2 year old French oak
hogsheads and concrete eggs were filled
and we waited for the natural
fermentation to begin - which it did at
quite a rate! The finished wine was held
in barrel and egg, with regular
battonage, for 10 months before bottling
with only a very light fining and filtration.
