Wine Making

Sourced from our Estate 2015, hand-picked and hand-sorted. Destemmed berries (with a small portion crushed) were tipped into a mix of concrete & oak open vats. After a period of ambient soak, natural fermentation initiated. Cuvaison lengths of 2-3 weeks on skins. Hand or foot-plunged a maximum of once per day

Winemaker’s Notes

The concept of blending complementary and compatible grape varieties to create a wine of amplified expression, structure, integration and balance, harnessing each components individual strengths to fashion a wine greater than the sum of its manifold components, has long held a fascination for us as wine producers. Taking its lead from the estimable blends of the southern Rhône Valley, we seek to find a vintage-specific synergy from a harmonious blend resulting in a wine expression beyond the range limit afforded to the singular grape varieties when bottled in isolation. 

Aroma: Blueberry, sloe berry, violets, Aleppo pepper, chervil, mace, granite, marzipan, garrigue, mandarin, royal jelly, orange blossom, apricot, fig tarte tatin, olive brine and flint abound. 

Palate: Damson plum, tamarind, red liquorice, mocha, flint lovage and bay leaf. Weighted and moreish tactile dusty tannins help draw the palate to a long finish. 

A true food and cheese lover’s wine! This wine is vegan-friendly.
