Offbeat

Grape Variety: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc

Producer: Offbeat Wines (Daniel & Nicola Ham)

Region: Wiltshire, England, UK

Wild Scale: 3/5

Winemaking: Organic Pinot Noir grapes harvested from Ham Street in Kent in 2021 underwent semi-carbonic maceration, fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged in old oak barrels for 19 months. This was blended with Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier from Crouch Valley in Essex that also underwent semi-carbonic maceration. Bottled in July 2023 via gravity and in line with the moon calendar. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: A blend in the truest sense of the word! We've got different grape varieties with different colours from different parts of the country and from different vintages. Dan once again showing he is the master of blending! Offbeat have been experimenting with how they use red grape varieties and that journey continues with this unique and special cuvée. As the name suggests, De La Soul have a couple of fans down in Wiltshire. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Daniel and Nicola Ham were marine biologists before embarking on a natural wine adventure in what may have seemed the most unlikely of regions, Wiltshire! They purchase organic fruit from different plots around the UK and are now making some of the best local wines we have ever tried.
