2021 Glen Garvald PB White Blend No.1

  • Awarded a Gold Medal at the 2024 London Wine Competition
  • Awarded a Gold Medal at the 2024 CWSA

Named after an historical surveyor’s geographic marker overlooking our vineyard, Glen Garvald wines represent our varietal and replanting response to climate change.

The idea of blending 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. As such, this wine will find its own unique voice with every vintage and no two vintages will ever be varietally or proportionally the same.

Wine Making

Fruit was hand-picked and hand-sorted then either whole-bunch pressed or crushed direct to press. Cloudy juice was racked to tank, concrete tulip or oak for fermentation via a succession of wild and inoculated yeast. A select volume was encouraged to complete 100% malolactic fermentation. Wines matured individually on lees deposits for 7 months with minimal stirring prior to blending.

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, built around a base of Grenache Blanc, we seek to find a vintage-specific synergy from a harmonious blend resulting in a wine expression beyond the limited range afforded to the singular grape varieties when bottled in isolation. 

Aromas of grilled peach, Greengage plum, mandarin, royal jelly, orange blossom, apricot, fig tarte tatin, olive brine and flint abound. The palate features golden delicious apple, garrigue, dried oregano, orange marmalade, lovage and bay leaf. Weighted and moreish tactile phenolics help draw the palate to a long finish. A true food and cheese lover’s wine.
