If you weren't buying direct from the vineyard, this wine would cost you a lot more. Find out why.

A delicious palate of red fruit… cranberry, redcurrant, raspberry… almost summer fruit pudding with real verve and freshness from balanced citrus acidity. More depth and intensity follow leading to a long, fine finish. Best vintage to date!

What people are saying about this wine...

  • "Wonderful appearance in the glass, deeper than in previous vintages, a beautiful salmon pink with a constant fine mousse and great energy."

  • "A lovely, attractive nose of a raspberry and redcurrant fruit character, light creamy nuances and great freshness"

  • "Amber in colour with distinct strawberry aromas. Rich and rounded plate of red fruit, plum, and soft spice, with a creamy brioche character giving complexity and length." - Decanter Judge 2024

Wine Making Notes

Whole bunch pressed, cuvee and taille cold settled & fermented seperately, inocculated with yeast 18-2007. Underwent full malolactic fermentation, cold stabilisation, and earth filtering. Bottled in 2019, kept sur lees since then - first digorging after 2 years but current batches aged 5 years plus. Dosage is sulphites and a sugar-wine liqueur in place of RCGM to prevent colour stripping. Dosed at equivalent of 3.4g/L sugar

Wine Analysis

Sugar:6.5

PH:3.02

Acidity:7.5

Vintage Notes

Bud burst was delayed in 2018 due to the cooler than expected weather following "The Beast from the East" in March. Consequently, vine growth was slow and bud burst was observed at the end of April, almost a month later than 2017. However, warm and settled weather from May to July encouraged growth and the vines really began to take off. Flowering was first observed on 18th June, two weeks earlier than 2017, bringing excellent flowers and fruit set. Disease pressure was low due to the very warm and dry weather and set us up for our best harvest to date.
