Product Description
Viticulture
Grapes sourced from the Wrekin Vineyard. No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only
approved natural fertiliser applied. All vineyards certified organic (BioGro).
Winemaking
Hand-picked March 26th. Hand picked fermented using “wild” and cultured yeast. Matured for 12 months in
a combination of 228 and 600 litre French oak barrels (10% new) with a portion in stainless steel to preserve freshness.
Winemaker’s comments
On the nose, the wine is open and expressive with notes of apple, pear and a touch of custard. There’s a genuine impression of a warm apple pie, fresh out of the oven here. This carries through on the palate, with the orchard fruit notes joined by a hint of just-ripe nectarine, subtle vanilla, and framed by an appleskin phenolic grip and balanced by freshening acidity.
Food match
Chardonnay is a classic that can pair with many dishes, but definitely consider white meats and more robust fish dishes. The bright acidity and minimal oak character here means that it will also pair well with higher
acid ingredients such as tomatoes and citrus. Our favourite, seared sustainably-caught sesame-crusted tuna,
served with pickled cucumber and fresh sugar-snap peas.
