Winemaking: Organic Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir grapes were purchased from organic grower and producer Matt Gregory in Leicestershire . De-stemmed by hand before being crushed by foot and macerated for 7 days. Fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless steel. Aged for 1 year before bottling. No fining or filtration. Very small amount of sulphur added on bottling.

This Wine: Natural wine made from red and white varieties but drinks like a light red. bright orchard and red fruit flavours combine under a mineral smokiness that gives us the impression of Mezcal! Would pair well with barbecued meat dishes. A unique bottle!

Notes on the Winemaker: Sophie Evans worked with 2Naturkinder in Germany and made her own wines using some of the grapes from those vineyards but also with biodynamic fruit purchased from other growers in the area. She has now moved back to the UK and has her own vines down in Kent. 2022 was the first vintage from these plots of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Reichensteiner and Bacchus. It's been amazing to watch Sophie's journey so far and we can't wait to see what comes next.
