New Release Wines!!!

Just as the weather is beginning to warm up, and the vineyard is beginning to burst with life, we are delighted to announce our 2021 vintage Chardonnay and 2021 vintage Pinot Gris are now available, via pre-order sales!

So what’s new? Our new release Pinot Gris which has become a real favorite with our followers is very much in keeping with previous vintages. This vintage brings ever so slightly more light floral aromatics on the nose, and on the palate it is bursting with the ripe conference pear and silky smooth green apple acidity that it has become well known for, in the typically Alsace style.   

Our New release Chardonnay is a slightly different style to the previous vintage, due to the challenging weather conditions we saw in 2021. Cooler weather throughout the year meant that a crisp unoaked style would not have brought out the absolute best in this vintage, instead we opted for a malolactic fermentation, converting the natural malic acid in the grape into lactic acid (also found in butter and dairy), giving it a smoother acidity and creating a well-rounded, slightly more complex still wine. We put around half of our wine into 4th fill oak barrels. Older barrels don’t impart so much oak as new barrels, so this helped us maintain a fresh clean feel to the wine and retain that flinty minerality we enjoy so much. After 6 months in oak, we re-introduced the oaked portion of wine back into the tank with the remaining unoaked wine. The end result is elegant, pale lemon in colour with notes of honeysuckle and hints of light brioche.
