Chardonnay
I Saw Custard Creams Fall Like Lightning Remix 2020
Leisure Wine
Grape Variety: Chardonnay
Producer: Leisure Wine
Region: Essex / London / Edinburgh
Wild Scale: 3/5
Vegan friendly wine
Winemaking: Organic (uncertified) grapes grown in Essex were hand harvested and taken to Edinburgh. 75% were foot pressed and spent 7 days on the skins. The other 25% underwent carbonic maceration. All fermentation with indigenous yeast. Blended and taken back to London for bottling with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.
This Wine: A "remix" on the original wine in that it's a second bottling that spent a few weeks extra on the lees. This has given better intensity and depth to the wine but it's still easy drinking and thirst quenching. We only wrestled a few bottles from the Leisure wine boys so don't hang around!
Notes on the Winemaker: Leisure Wine is the project of 3 friends passionate about natural wine who simply wanted to have a go themselves. They didn't let the lack of a vineyard get in their way and have been able to source high quality fruit from the UK and Italy so far. They now have a permanent winery on the Old Kent Road which bodes well. We hope it's the start of a long and tasty journey!
